Answer:
One sample test of proportions
Step-by-step explanation:
Which test is most appropriate to test whether the proportion of skiers is not 0.50?
Since the test says to test whether the proportion of skiers is not 0.50, then here we will be studying just only the promotion of skiers without the comparison with snowboarders.
We have been given an hypothesized promotion and the test says to test against this proportion, so the appropriate test to use here is the one sample test of proportions
Let, number of double rooms and single rooms are d and s.
d + s = 26 ....1 )
Hotel rents double rooms at $34 per day and single rooms at $27 per day.
34d + 27s = 807 ....2)
Solving equation 1 and 2, we get :
34( 26 - s ) + 27s = 807
884 - 34s + 27s = 807
7s = 77
s = 11
And d = 26 - 11 = 15
Therefore, number of double rooms and single rooms are 15 and 11.
Hence, this is the required solution.
You can use factors to solve. Determine all the factor pairs of 24, find the two that are two numbers apart.
1, 24 X
2, 12 X
3, 8 X
4, 6 YES!
Algebraic way to solve using Quadratics:
l = 2 + w
A = lw
A = (2 + w)w Substitute (2 + w) for l
24 = (2 + w)w Substitute 24 in for the area
24 = 2w + w^2 Distribute
w^2 + 2w - 24 = 0 Set equal to 0 (put in standard form)
(w + 6) (w - 4) = 0 Factor
w + 6 = 0 and w - 4 = 0 Set each factor equal to 0.
So w= -6 or w = 4 ... -6 makes no sense for a length! So the width must be 4 and the length will be 4 + 2, which is 6.
