Answer:

1.75 gallons of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

A student in the construction trades program has 4 1/2 gallons of paint

If the student uses 2.75 gallons in one room then the gallons of paint that are left can be calculated as follows

= 4 1/2 - 2.75

= 9/2 - 2.75

= 4.5 - 2.75

= 1.75

Hence 1.75 gallons of paint are left

Answer:

Formula: (x^2 -h) +(y^2 -k)=r^2

The number on the right side of the = is the radius of the circle squared.

(h,k) is the center of the circle.

A random sample of 49 measurements from one population had a sample mean of 15, with sample standard deviation 5. An independent

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Comparing the p value with the significance level $\alpha=0.01$ we see that $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and the difference between the two groups is significantly different.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bar X_{1}=15$ represent the mean for sample 1

$\bar X_{2}=18$ represent the mean for sample 2

$s_{1}=5$ represent the sample standard deviation for 1

$s_{f}=6$ represent the sample standard deviation for 2

$n_{1}=49$ sample size for the group 2

$n_{2}=64$ sample size for the group 2

$\alpha=0.01$ Significance level provided

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the difference in the population means, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu_{1}-\mu_{2}=0$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu_{1} - \mu_{2}\neq 0$

We don't have the population standard deviation's, so for this case is better apply a t test to compare means, and the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{(\bar X_{1}-\bar X_{2})-\Delta}{\sqrt{\frac{s^2_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{s^2_{2}}{n_{2}}}}$ (1)

And the degrees of freedom are given by $df=n_1 +n_2 -2=49+64-2=111$

t-test: Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine whether the means of two groups are equal to each other.

With the info given we can replace in formula (1) like this:

$t=\frac{(15-18)-0}{\sqrt{\frac{5^2}{49}+\frac{6^2}{64}}}}=-2.897$

P value

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(t_{111}$

Comparing the p value with the significance level $\alpha=0.01$ we see that $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and the difference between the two groups is significantly different.

What are the solutions to the equation (2x-5)(3x-1)=0?

lutik1710 [3]

(2x-5)(3x-1)=0

2x-5 = 0 or 3x-1= 0
2x = 5 3x = 1
x = 5/2 x = 1/3

Answer: x=5/2; x=1/3

(3640 - 3250) / 3250 = 390 / 3250 = 39 / 325 = 3 / 25 = 12%
(4100 - 3640) / 3640 = 460 / 3640 = 46 / 364 = 23 / 182 = 12.637...%

Answer:

The confidence level interval is $0.016 \le C \le 0.404$

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample size is $n = 20$

The number planning to increase workforce is $x = 3$

The confidence level is $c = 98$ %

The value of proportion for a plus 4 method is

$p = \frac{x+2}{n+4}$

substituting values

$p = \frac{3+2}{20+4}$

$p =0.21$

The z-critical value at confidence level of 98% is

$z_{c}=z_{0.98} = 2.33$

This values is obtained from the standard normal table

The confidence level interval can be mathematically represented as

$C =p \ \pm z_{c} * \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n+4} }$

substituting values

$C = 0.21 \pm 2.33 * \sqrt{\frac{0.21(1- 0.21)}{20 +4} }$

$C = 0.21 \pm 0.194$

=> $0.016 \le C \le 0.404$
