16 ounces equal 1 pound.
So 1 box is 1.5 ounces of tea.
multiply 1.5 by 112 and you get 168.
Then divided by 16 to make the ounces become pounds.
The answer is 10.5

If the number of Conference participants decreases by 20% compared to last year, there would be 1760 participants this year. If
Basile [38]
2,640 this year
2,112 last year

the 1760 is 20% less than - so 120% of 1760 is the previous year:
1760 * 1.2 = 2112

2112 increased by 25% is a total of 125%: 
2112 *1.25 = 2640

The system of equations is graphed on the coordinate plane.
ehidna [41]

Answer: The solution is (3, -2)

This means that x = 3 and y = -2 pair up together.

=====================================================

Explanation:

The solution is where the two lines cross. Note if we started at the origin (0,0) and moved to the right 3 units, and then down 2 units, we would arrive at the location (3, -2).

-----------------

As a way to check, we can plug x = 3 into each equation. We should get y = -2 as a result for each equation

y = (-5/3)x + 3

y = (-5/3)*3 + 3

y = -5+3

y = -2

The first equation is confirmed. Let's check the second equation

y = (1/3)x - 3

y = (1/3)*3 - 3

y = 1 - 3

y = -2

Both equations have the y value equal -2 when x = 3. Therefore, the overall solution is confirmed.

Shawn has $5 more than Rj and Riley has $10 less than Shawn. If there combined total is $414, how much does
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Rj has 138 dollars, Shawn has 143 dollars, and Riley has 133 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make the amount of money Rj has x, so Shawn would have 5+x dollars, and Riley would have (5+x)-10 dollars. Altogether they have 414 dollars, so you can create an equation.

x+(5+x)+((5+x)-10)=414\\3x+0=414\\3x=414\\x=138

Now that we know that x=138, we can substitute x into each equation.

Rj has 138 dollars, Shawn has 143 dollars, and Riley has 133 dollars.

The number of events is 29​, the number of trials is 298​, the claimed population proportion is​ 0.10, and the significance leve
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

z=\frac{0.0973 -0.1}{\sqrt{\frac{0.1(1-0.1)}{298}}}=-0.155  

p_v =2*P(Z  

And we can use excel to find the p value like this: "=2*NORM.DIST(-0.155;0;1;TRUE)"

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of interest is not significantly different from 0.1 .  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=298 represent the random sample taken

X=29 represent the events claimed

\hat p=\frac{29}{298}=0.0973 estimated proportion

p_o=0.1 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

2) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the proportion is 0.1 or no.:  

Null hypothesis:p=0.1  

Alternative hypothesis:p \neq 0.1  

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.

3) Calculate the statistic  

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

z=\frac{0.0973 -0.1}{\sqrt{\frac{0.1(1-0.1)}{298}}}=-0.155  

4) Statistical decision  

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.  

The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(Z  

And we can use excel to find the p value like this: "=2*NORM.DIST(-0.155;0;1;TRUE)"

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of interest is not significantly different from 0.1 .  

We can do the test also in R with the following code:

> prop.test(29,298,p=0.1,alternative = c("two.sided"),conf.level = 1-0.05,correct = FALSE)
