It would take her 10.5 hours to drink the whole jug.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cups of water in jug = 7

Water drunk every hour = $\frac{2}{3}$ of cup

Let,

x be the number of hours.

According to given statement;

$\frac{2}{3}x=7$

Multiplying both sides by $\frac{3}{2}$

$\frac{3}{2}*\frac{2}{3}x=7*\frac{3}{2}\\x=\frac{21}{2}\\x=10.5$

It would take her 10.5 hours to drink the whole jug.

What’s equivalent to 1/3 with the denominator of 6

podryga [215]

Answer:

2/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so if the fraction is 1/3 and the denominator needs to be 6, then what you do is figure out what would turn 3 into 6. So, 3 x 2 would equal 6 and then you would have to also keep that two and multiply that 2 with the 1 and you would get 2. That would lead to the numerator being 2 and the denominator being 6, or 2/6.

Answer:

12, 25, 26, 26, 26, 34, 35, 39, 42, 42, 50, 72.

Step-by-step explanation:

A stem and leaf plot works like a digit separator. The left is the first number, which is usually repeated, and the right is the number you add to it.

In this example, 3 is used three times for the numbers 34, 35, and 39.

1. A heterozygous white-fruited squash plant is crossed with a yellow-fruited plant, yielding 200 seeds. of these seeds, 110 pro

garri49 [273]

Answer:

Part 1 , not significant

Part II, significant

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a heterozygous white-fruited squash plant is crossed with a yellow-fruited plant, yielding 200 seeds. of these seeds, 110 produce white-fruited plants while only 90 produce yellow-fruited plants

$H_0: Both colours are equally likely\\H_a: Both colours are not equally likely$

(Two tailed chi square test)

We assume H0 to be true and find out expected

If H0 is true expected would be 100 white and 100 yellow

Chi square = $\Sigma \frac{(O-E)^2}{E} \\=\frac{(110-100)^2}{100} +frac{(90-100)^2}{100} \\=2$

df = 1

p value = 0.152799

Since p value > 0.05 at 5% level we accept that the colours are equally likely

Here observed are 1100 and 900

Expected 1000 & 1000

df = 1

Chi square = $\frac{20000}{100} =200$

p value <0.0001

These results are here statistically significant.
