Mary has 60 candy pieces and 45 chocolates. She wants to distribute the candy to her little sister's friends at her birthday par

ty so that each friend gets an equal number of candies and an equal number of chocolates.What should be the smallest number of her sister's friends for the distribution of candy and chocolate so each friend gets an equal number of candy pieces and chocolates in a way that there should not be left any chocolate or candy pieces left over

Answer:

5 friends

Step-by-step explanation:

Candy pieces = 60

Chocolate = 45

What should be the smallest number of her sister's friends for the distribution of candy and chocolate so each friend gets an equal number of candy pieces and chocolates in a way that there should not be left any chocolate or candy pieces left over?

To calculate this, find the lowest factor of 60 and 45

60:

Factors = 2, 4, 5, 6,

45:

Factors= 3, 5, 9

The lowest common factor of 60 and 45 is 5

The smallest number of her sister's friend so each person get an equal number of candy pieces and chocolate so there won't be any leftover is 5

That is

If there are 5 friends at the birthday party

60 candy pieces among 5 friends

= 60/5

= 12 pieces each

45 chocolate among 5 friends

= 45/5

= 9 each

The statistical difference between a process operating at a 5 sigma level and a process operating at a 6 sigma level is markedly
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

A six sigma level has a lower and upper specification limits between \\ (\mu - 6\sigma) and \\ (\mu + 6\sigma). It means that the probability of finding no defects in a process is, considering 12 significant figures, for values symmetrically covered for standard deviations from the mean of a normal distribution:

\\ p = F(\mu + 6\sigma) - F(\mu - 6\sigma) = 0.999999998027

For those with defects <em>operating at a 6 sigma level, </em>the probability is:

\\ 1 - p = 1 - 0.999999998027 = 0.000000001973

Similarly, for finding <em>no defects</em> in a 5 sigma level, we have:

\\ p = F(\mu + 5\sigma) - F(\mu - 5\sigma) = 0.999999426697.

The probability of defects is:

\\ 1 - p = 1 - 0.999999426697 = 0.000000573303

Well, the defects present in a six sigma level and a five sigma level are, respectively:

\\ {6\sigma} = 0.000000001973 = 1.973 * 10^{-9} \approx \frac{2}{10^9} \approx \frac{2}{1000000000}

\\ {5\sigma} = 0.000000573303 = 5.73303 * 10^{-7} \approx \frac{6}{10^7} \approx \frac{6}{10000000}  

Then, comparing both fractions, we can confirm that a <em>6 sigma level is markedly different when it comes to the number of defects present:</em>

\\ {6\sigma} \approx \frac{2}{10^9} [1]

\\ {5\sigma} \approx \frac{6}{10^7} = \frac{6}{10^7}*\frac{10^2}{10^2}=\frac{600}{10^9} [2]

Comparing [1] and [2], a six sigma process has <em>2 defects per billion</em> opportunities, whereas a five sigma process has <em>600 defects per billion</em> opportunities.

Help please!!!!!:( Solve the equation for x. Round your answer to two decimal places. Do not include "x =" in your answer.
svet-max [94.6K]
The solution to the problem is as follows:

If you use Ln you can get rid of e. 

ln(e^0.4x) = ln(0.4) 

0.4x = ln(0.4) 

x = (ln(0.4))/0.4 

<span>x = -2.29

Fed [463]

Answer:

The answer is "Type 1 error".

Step-by-step explanation:

The error of type I, frequently known as a 'false positive': its error in judgment that perhaps a null hypothesis is simply rejected. This is the mistake of accepting a possible (actual interest hypothesis) hypothesis whenever the results could be attributed to chance since the researchers deny, if valid, the null hypothesis.
