A nice riddle, mathematical riddle.
Assuming a turtle winning means the declared winner is the weaker one actually won over the stronger one. In this context, the turtle winner is the one who has a lesser number of favourable votes.
The given rules for the points are as follows:
1. Point for the first choice must be greater than or equal to that of the second choice.
2. All points must be positive whole numbers.
Let's suppose we have Henry against Tim.
Henry is favourite of the voters and is the leading candidate, according to popular polls.
Tim is an excellent manipulator, sly, and everybody knows this.
On polling day, the vote count came out as follows (in point counts)
Henry Tim
2 1
2 1
2 1
2 1
2 1
2 1
10 1 (Henry's own vote)
1 100 (Tim's own vote)
------------------
17 107 TOTAL POINTS
So Tim the turtle was declared winner of the race, and since everything was according to rule, even a recount of the votes did not change the results.
Be aware, voting by districts (instead of popular votes) also exhibits a similar problem.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A recipe uses 214 cups of flour for a batch of cookies. Henry makes 10 batches of cookies for a bake sale.
A model shows a total of c cups divided into 10 sections, each labeled 2 and 1 fourth.
Part A
Which equation models the total number of cups of flour, c, Henry needs?
c+214=10
214×c=10
10+c=214
214×10=c
Part B
How many cups of flour does Henry need?
2014cups
2212cups
2434cups
2512cups
Part C
Estimate how much flour Henry would need to make 15 batches of cookies. Explain.
I would round 214 to 2, so Henry would need about 30 cups of flour.
I would round 214 to 3, so Henry would need about 45 cups of flour.
I would round 214 to 1, so Henry would need about 15 cups of flour.
I would round 214 to 234, so Henry would need about 30 cups of flour.

Answer:
Null hypothesis = H0 : μ = 60
Alternative hypothesis = H1 : μ < 60
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question given :
μ = 60 minutes
xbar = 44.27 minutes
s = 20.4 minutes
The alternative hypothesis is the claim ; which is to hypothesize that the average studying time is 44.27 (which is less than the population average studying time)
The null hypothesis is the initial truth and it is the opposite of the alternative hypothesis.
The hypothesis are :
H0 : μ = 60
H1 : μ < 60
