Answer:

assuming the comma is meant to be a decimal...

It would be 2.9

Step-by-step explanation:

the place right after the decimal is the tenth place. the 5 rounds up the 8. don't worry about the 2. so the 8 becomes a 9 and you leave off the rest because you are only worrying about the tenths place.

How many miles equals 26 km

Sliva [168]

Given data:

The given distance is d=26 km.

We know 1 kilometer is equal to approx 0.621 miles.

1km= 0.621 miles

Multiply the above expression with 26 on both sides.

26(1 km)= 26(0.621 miles)

26 km= 16.146 miles.

Thus, 26 kilometer is equal to 16.146 miles

A coffee packaging plant claims that the mean weight of coffee in its containers is at least 32 ounces. A random sample of 15 co

Luda [366]

Answer:

We conclude that the mean weight of coffee in its containers is at least 32 ounces which means that the data support the claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a coffee packaging plant claims that the mean weight of coffee in its containers is at least 32 ounces.

A random sample of 15 containers were weighed and the mean weight was 31.8 ounces with a sample standard deviation of 0.48 ounces.

Let $\mu$ = mean weight of coffee in its containers.

SO, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $\mu \geq$ 32 ounces {means that the mean weight of coffee in its containers is at least 32 ounces}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : $\mu$ < 32 ounces {means that the mean weight of coffee in its containers is less than 32 ounces}

The test statistics that would be used here One-sample t-test statistics as we don't know about population standard deviation;

T.S. = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ $t_n_-_1$

where, $\bar X$ = sample mean weight = 31.8 ounces

s = sample standard deviation = 0.48 ounces

n = sample of containers = 15

So, the test statistics = $\frac{31.8 -32}{\frac{0.48}{\sqrt{15} } }$ ~ $t_1_4$

= -1.614

The value of t test statistics is -1.614.

Now, at 0.01 significance level the t table gives critical value of -2.624 at 14 degree of freedom for left-tailed test.

Since our test statistic is more than the critical value of t as -1.614 > -2.624, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which we fail to reject our null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that the mean weight of coffee in its containers is at least 32 ounces which means that the data support the claim.

A 4-pound bag of potatoes costs $3.16 how much would 32 pounds of potatoes costs

zimovet [89]

Answer:

$25.28

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a 4 pound bag cost $3.16 you would do 32 divided by 4 and you would get 8. Then you would do 8 times 3.16 and you get 25.28.

The long way:
4 bags = 3.16
8 bags = 6.32
12 bags = 9.48
16 bags = 12.64
20 bags = 15.80
24 bags = 18.96
28 bags = 22.12
32 bags = 25.28
