I purchase 3kg of coffee and 2kg of tea for $76. There's a drought in South America causing the price of coffee beans and tea le

aves to increase. Coffee prices increase by 20% and tea prices increase by 10%. I place the same order for coffee and tea yet this time I am charged $87.20. What are the original prices for 1kg of coffee and 1kg of tea? What are the new prices?

Answer:

Original prices are $ 20 and $ 12 for tea and coffee respectively.

The new prices are $ 22 and $ 14.4 for tea and coffee respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C, the price of the original coffee and T be the precise of the original tea, we can pose the following equations:

First, the with the price of the initial values, since they give us the total value of the purchase.

3 * C + 2 * T = 76 (1)

Second, with the increased prices an equation can also be made because they give us the total value and the new price can be expressed as the function of the original price by the percentage increase, as follows:

3 * (1.2 * C) + 2 * (1.1 * T) = 87.2

Solving we have:

3.6 * C + 2.2 * T = 87.2

Reorganized:

C = (87.2 - 2.2 * T) /3.6 (2)

Now, replacing (2) in (1) we are left with:

3 * [(87.2 - 2.2 * T) /3.6] + 2 * T = 76

Resolving

[(3 * 87.2 - 3 * 2.2 * T) /3.6] + 2 * T = 76

(261.6 - 6.6*T)/3.6 + 2*T = 76

(261.6 - 6.6*T + 3.6*2*T)/3.6 = 76

(261.6 + 0.6*T)/3.6 = 76

261.6 + 0.6*T = 76*3.6

0.6*T = 273.6-261.6

T = (273.6-261.6)/0.6

T = 20

Replacing in (2)

 C = (87.2 - 2.2 * 20) /3.6 = 12

Original prices are $ 20 and $ 12 for tea and coffee respectively.

The new prices would be:

1.2 * C = 1.2 * 12 = 14.4

1.1 * T = 1.1 * 20 = 22

Therefore, the new prices are $ 22 and $ 14.4 for tea and coffee respectively.

A university interested in tracking its honors program believes that the proportion of graduates with a GPA of 3.00 or below is
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

a) On this case we are interested on the population proportion of students that have a GPA of 3.00 or below.

b) z=\frac{0.15 -0.2}{\sqrt{\frac{0.2(1-0.2)}{200}}}=-1.77  

p_v =P(z  

c) Null hypothesis:p\geq 0.2  

Alternative hypothesis:p  

d) The significance level provided is \alpha=0.05. If we compare the  p value obtained and the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the population proportion of students that have a GPA of 3.00 or below is significantly lower than 0.2.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation n  

n=200 represent the random sample taken

X=30 represent the  students with a GPA of 3.00 or below.

\hat p=\frac{30}{200}=0.15 estimated proportion of  students with a GPA of 3.00 or below.  

p_o=0.2 is the value that we want to test

\alpha represent the significance level  

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

a. In testing the university's belief, how does on define the population parameter of interest?

On this case we are interested on the population proportion of students that have a GPA of 3.00 or below.

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the proportion of graduates with GPA of 3.00 or below is less than 0.2.:  

Null hypothesis:p\geq 0.2  

Alternative hypothesis:p  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:  

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion \hat p is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o.

b. The value of the test statistics and its associated p-value are?

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.15 -0.2}{\sqrt{\frac{0.2(1-0.2)}{200}}}=-1.77  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

Since is a one left tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(z  

c. In testing the university's belief, the appropriate hypothesis are?

Null hypothesis:p\geq 0.2  

Alternative hypothesis:p  

d. At a 5% significance level, the decision is to?

The significance level provided is \alpha=0.05. If we compare the  p value obtained and the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the population proportion of students that have a GPA of 3.00 or below is significantly lower than 0.2.

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (6,4) and (-3,-7)
ANEK [815]

Answer:

m = 11/9

Step-by-step explanation:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

= (-7 - 4) / (-3 - 6)

= -11/-9

= 11/9
