A 16-oz bottle of water costs $1.44. What is the cost per ounce? $0.18/oz $0.90/oz $1.78/oz $0.09/oz

A farmer owns a 100 acre farm and plans to plant at most three crops. The seed for crops A,B, and C costs $40, $20, and $30 per

aev [14]

Answer:

The number of acre per crop for maximum profit is;

Crop A = 0 acres

Crop B = 60 acres

Crop C = 40 acres

Profit, P = $26,000

Step-by-step explanation:

We plant A in X acres

B in Y acres and

C in Z acres

Therefore, X + Y + Z ≤ 100

we work A for 1·X workdays

B for 2·Y workdays and

C for 1·Z workdays

Where X + 2·Y + Z ≤ 160

$40·X for crop A

$20·Y for crop B and

$30·Z for crop C is spent whereby

$40·X + $20·Y + $30·Z ≤ $3200

The farmer makes

$100·X from crop A

$300·Y from crop B and

$200·Z from crop C

P = $100·X + $300·Y + $200·Z

Therefore, we have three equations with three unknowns solving the equations simultaneously, we have

X + Y + Z = 100....................................................(1)

X + 2·Y + Z = 160.................................................(2)

$40·X + $20·Y + $30·Z = $3200....................(3)

By subtracting equation (1) from (2) gives Y = 60 acres

Multiplying equation (1) by 40 and subtracting from (3) we have Z = -40

and therefore, Y = 80

If he plants only B the farmer has 2 work day per acre and since there is a max of 160 days, he can only plant on 80 acres, therefore, total profit = $300 × 80 = $24,000

Comparing the profit per acre to the seed cost we have Profit for seed A = $100 while cost = $40 per acre,

If we remove seed A we have

Y + Z = 100....................................................(4)

2·Y + Z = 160.................................................(5)

$40·X + $20·Y + $30·Z = $3200....................(3)

Solving equation (4) and (5), we have Y = 60 acres and Z = 40 acres

Therefore, the profit becomes

$300 × 60 + $200 × 40 = $26,000.

In a representative sample of 1000 adult Americans, only 400 could name at least one justice who is currently serving on the U.S

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

1) z = -6.32

2) p-value = 0.001 × 10^(-2)

3) we will reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is enough evidence to support the claim that fewer than half of adult Americans can name at least one justice currently serving on the Supreme Court

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that In a representative sample of 1000 adult Americans, only 400 could name at least one justice.

Thus:

Sample proportion; p^ = 400/1000 = 0.4

Sample size: n = 1000

We want to find if there is convincing evidence to support the claim that fewer than half of adult Americans can name at least one justice.

Thus, the hypothesis is defined as;

Null hypothesis:H0: p ≥ 0.5

Alternative hypothesis: Ha < 0.5

Formula for the test statistic is;

z = (p^ - p)/√(p(1 - p)/n)

Plugging in the relevant values;

z = (0.4 - 0.5)/√(0.5(1 - 0.5)/1000)

z = -6.32

From online p-value from z-score calculator attached, using z = -6.32; significance level of 0.01; one tailed hypothesis;

We have:

p-value = 0.00001 = 0.001 × 10^(-2)

The p-value is less than the significance level and so we will reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is enough evidence to support the claim that fewer than half of adult Americans can name at least one justice currently serving on the Supreme Court
