If 15 pies will serve 120 people how many pies will serve 152

To solve this problem, we should make a proportion.

15              x
         = 
120         152

(x is representing the unknown number of pies needed)

To solve equal proportions, you can use cross products.  This means multiplying the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other.

If done correctly, it should result in the equation 15 * 152 = 120x

Next, we simplify         2280=120x

And divide by 120         x= 19

19 pies will serve 152 people.

a coffee mug collection includes four red mugs, eight yellow mugs and two white mugs. What is the probability of selecting two w
Kruka [31]

Assuming that the selection process was done without replacement, the probability of selecting two white mugs without replacement is 1/28

<h2>Given data</h2>

Sample Space

Red mugs = 4

yellow mugs = 8

white mugs = 2

Sample Size = 4+8+2 = 14

We are going to assume the selection was done with out replacement

Hence the probability of selecting the first white mug is

<em>Pr(W1) = 2/8 = 1/4</em>

<em>The probability of selecting the second white mug is </em>

<em>Pr(W2) = 1/7</em>

<em />

Hence the probability of selecting  two white mugs one after another

= 1/4*1/7

=1/28

A consumer products company is formulating a new shampoo and is interested in foam height (in millimeters). Foam height is appro
Pavel [41]

Answer:

The answers to the questions are

(a) P = 0.0176

(b)  P = 0.5

(c)  P = 0.0571

Step-by-step explanation:

The P value is the calculated probability of obtaining extreme reults which are as extreme as observed res ult when the study null hypothesis H₀ is true

The p value is given by

P (\overline{\rm x} = 185 when μ = 175)

z =  \frac{ \overline { \rm x} -\mu}{\sigma /\sqrt{n} }

z(\overline { \rm x} = 185)  = \frac{ 185 -175}{20/\sqrt{10} } = 1.5811

Therefore the P (\overline{\rm x} = 185 when μ = 175) =  P(z = 1.5811)  

    0.94295

The probability density function is

f(x) = \frac{1}{\sigma\sqrt{2\pi } } e^{-\frac{1}{2}(\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} )^2 } Therefore the probability is

f(x) = \frac{1}{20\sqrt{2\pi } } e^{-\frac{1}{2}(\frac{185-175}{20} )^2 } = 0.0176  

b) The type II error is given by

β = P(type II error) = P(Fail to reject the null hypothesis when it is false)

Therefore

β = P (\overline { \rm x} < 185 when μ = 185)

P(\frac{ \overline { \rm x} -\mu}{\sigma /\sqrt{n} }, which gives

P(z<0) and β = 0.5

(c) For true mean foam height of 195 mm we have

β = P (\overline { \rm x} < 185 when μ = 195)

and P(\frac{ \overline { \rm x} -\mu}{\sigma /\sqrt{n} }

Which gives P(z < -1.58)

From z table the probability is       β = 0.0571

The circumference of a circle us 6.28 what is the area
zlopas [31]
Circumference = 2πr
6.28 = 2πr
12 = 2n/3 +7n/3 -6 6.28 = 2×3.14×r
r =6.28/2×3.14
r= 1 unit
Now,
Area of a circle = πr² = 3.14×1×1= 3.14 sq.units
