To find the answer we need multiply the number of containers by number tons of sugar each container has.

(4 1/3 )*(2 1/7).

To calculate , we need to convert mixed numbers into improper fractions.

4 1/3 = (4*3 +1)/3 = 13/3

2 1/7 = (2*7+1)/7 =15/7

(4 1/3 )*(2 1/7) = (13/3) * (15/7) = (13*5)/7 = 65/7 = 9 2/7 (tons)

Answer: 9 2/7 tons.

A photoconductor film is manufactured at a nominal thickness of 25 mils. The product engineer wishes to increase the mean speed

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

A 98% confidence interval estimate for the difference in mean speed of the films is [-0.042, 0.222].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Eight samples of each film thickness are manufactured in a pilot production process, and the film speed (in microjoules per square inch) is measured.

For the 25-mil film, the sample data result is: Mean Standard deviation 1.15 0.11 and For the 20-mil film the data yield: Mean Standard deviation 1.06 0.09.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for finding the confidence interval for the difference in population mean is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2)-(\mu_1- \mu_2)}{s_p \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2} } }$ ~ $t__n_1_+_n_2_-_2$

where, $\bar X_1$ = sample mean speed for the 25-mil film = 1.15

$\bar X_1$ = sample mean speed for the 20-mil film = 1.06

$s_1$ = sample standard deviation for the 25-mil film = 0.11

$s_2$ = sample standard deviation for the 20-mil film = 0.09

$n_1$ = sample of 25-mil film = 8

$n_2$ = sample of 20-mil film = 8

$\mu_1$ = population mean speed for the 25-mil film

$\mu_2$ = population mean speed for the 20-mil film

Also, $s_p =\sqrt{\frac{(n_1-1)s_1^{2}+ (n_2-1)s_2^{2}}{n_1+n_2-2} }$ = $\sqrt{\frac{(8-1)\times 0.11^{2}+ (8-1)\times 0.09^{2}}{8+8-2} }$ = 0.1005

<em>Here for constructing a 98% confidence interval we have used a Two-sample t-test statistics because we don't know about population standard deviations.</em>

<u>So, 98% confidence interval for the difference in population means, (</u> $\mu_1-\mu_2$ <u>) is;</u>

P(-2.624 < $t_1_4$ < 2.624) = 0.98 {As the critical value of t at 14 degrees of

freedom are -2.624 & 2.624 with P = 1%}

P(-2.624 < $\frac{(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2)-(\mu_1- \mu_2)}{s_p \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2} } }$ < 2.624) = 0.98

P( $-2.624 \times {s_p \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2} } }$ < $2.624 \times {s_p \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2} } }$ < ) = 0.98

P( $(\bar X_1-\bar X_2)-2.624 \times {s_p \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2} } }$ < ( $\mu_1-\mu_2$ ) < $(\bar X_1-\bar X_2)+2.624 \times {s_p \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2} } }$ ) = 0.98

<u>98% confidence interval for</u> ( $\mu_1-\mu_2$ ) = [ $(\bar X_1-\bar X_2)-2.624 \times {s_p \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2} } }$ , $(\bar X_1-\bar X_2)+2.624 \times {s_p \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2} } }$ ]

= [ $(1.15-1.06)-2.624 \times {0.1005 \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{8} } }$ , $(1.15-1.06)+2.624 \times {0.1005 \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{8} } }$ ]

= [-0.042, 0.222]

Therefore, a 98% confidence interval estimate for the difference in mean speed of the films is [-0.042, 0.222].

Since the above interval contains 0; this means that decreasing the thickness of the film doesn't increase the speed of the film.

Two boys and three girls are auditioning to play the piano for a school production. Two students will be chosen, one as the pian

Sergio039 [100]

The answer is 0.24

To calculate this, a multiplication rule is used. The multiplication rule calculates the probability that both of two events will occur. In this method, the probabilities of each event are multiplied. Here we have two events:

1. The probability that the pianist will be a boy,

2. The probability that the alternate will be a girl.

So, let's calculate these probabilities:

There are in total 5 children:

2 boys + 3 girls = 5 children.

1. The probability that the pianist will be a boy is 2 boys out of 5 children, which is 2/5.

2. The probability that the alternate will be a girl is 3 girls out of 5 children, which is 3/5.

<span>The probability that the pianist will be a boy and the alternate will be a girl is:</span>

<span>2/5 </span><span>× 3/5 = 6/25</span>

<span>6/25 </span><span>× 4/4 = 24/100 = 0.24</span>

Can somebody please help answer this word problem using grass method? And showing how u get the answer thanks!!!

siniylev [52]

Answer:

0.25m or 1/4m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Height of Dorsal Fin = 1/6 of Length of whale Sculpture,

and given length of whale sculpture = 1.5m or $1\frac{1}{2} m\\$

Height of Dorsal fin on scuplture = $(\frac{1}{6})(1\frac{1}{2} )\\$

= $(\frac{1}{6} )(\frac{3}{2}) \\= \frac{3}{12} \\= \frac{1}{4}m or 0.25m$
