Michael and Michelle are at a restaurant. When leaving, they decide to leave an 18% tip. Michael states that in order to figure

out their total, they need to multiply their bill by 0.18 and add that product on to the bill. Michelle says that another way to figure their total is to multiply their bill by 1.18. Will Michelle's method work? Explain why or why not.
Use properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions.

Michelle’s method WILL work because we have to add an extra 18% to the already total (100) michaels way would work if the tip was apart of the bill, but it is extra . Hence, Michelle’s method being correct

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

6 $\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

y + 1 $\frac{1}{6}$ = 7 $\frac{5}{6}$

y + $\frac{7}{6}$ = $\frac{47}{6}$

y = 40/6 = 20/3 = 6 $\frac{2}{3}$

The United States government used to make coins of many different values

Papessa [141]

Answer:

1. 50%

2. 3%

3. 20%

4. 200%

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the worth of each coin as a percentage of $1

We simply divide the worth by $1 and multiply by 100%

$1 is same as 100 cents

Thus;

1. 50 cent

= 50/100 * 100% = 50%

2. 3 cents

= 3/100 * 100% = 3%

3. 20 cents

= 20/100 * 100% = 20%

4. $2

= 2/1 * 100% = 200%

An article describes an experiment to determine the effectiveness of mushroom compost in removing petroleum contaminants from so

alexgriva [62]

Solution :

Let $p_1$ and $p_2$ represents the proportions of the seeds which germinate among the seeds planted in the soil containing $3\%$ and $5\%$ mushroom compost by weight respectively.

To test the null hypothesis $H_0: p_1=p_2$ against the alternate hypothesis $H_1:p_1 \neq p_2$ .

Let $\hat p_1, \hat p_2$ denotes the respective sample proportions and the $n_1, n_2$ represents the sample size respectively.

$$\hat p_1 = \frac{74}{155} = 0.477419$

$n_1=155$

$$p_2=\frac{86}{155}=0.554839$

$n_2=155$

The test statistic can be written as :

$$z=\frac{(\hat p_1 - \hat p_2)}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1 \times (1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}} + \frac{\hat p_2 \times (1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}}}$

which under $H_0$ follows the standard normal distribution.

We reject $H_0$ at $0.05$ level of significance, if the P-value or if $|z_{obs}|>Z_{0.025}$

Now, the value of the test statistics = -1.368928

The critical value = $\pm 1.959964$

P-value = $P(|z|> z_{obs})= 2 \times P(z< -1.367928)$

$=2 \times 0.085667$

= 0.171335

Since the p-value > 0.05 and $|z_{obs}| \ngtr z_{critical} = 1.959964$ , so we fail to reject $H_0$ at $0.05$ level of significance.

Hence we conclude that the two population proportion are not significantly different.

Conclusion :

There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the $\text{proportion}$ of the seeds that $\text{germinate differs}$ with the percent of the $\text{mushroom compost}$ in the soil.
