Answer:

Melissa went to shopping and spent 2/3 of her money on a blouse, then she has 1/3 of her money left. She came home with $12.

=> The amount of money she started with: 12 x 3 =36$

Hope this helps!

12x3 = 36 because if she spent 2/3 then that means 12 is 1/3 and if you add 12 until its 3/3 then thats her money

Answer:

A, B and C

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Adding another researcher to provide ratings will make the study less biased.

B. A quiz or exam will show which students have a better understanding of the math material. Better quiz or exam results show that the site is more effective for a student with or without the supplemental instruction.

C. Having a greater sample size is better because a greater scope of students is covered. Different students have different abilities and learning preferences.

Answer:

$t=\frac{4.2-3.6}{\frac{1.4}{\sqrt{16}}}=1.714$

Reject the null hypothesis if the observed "t" value is less than -2.131 or higher than 2.131

Rejection Zone: $t_{calculated}$ or $t_{calculated}>2.131$

In our case since our calculated value is not on the rejection zone we don't have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts and data given

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X=4.2$ represent the sample mean

$s=1.4$ represent the sample standard deviation

n=16 represent the sample selected

$\alpha=0.05$ significance level

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is different from 3.6, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu = 3.6$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 3.6$

If we analyze the size for the sample is < 30 and we know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

Calculate the statistic

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

$t=\frac{4.2-3.6}{\frac{1.4}{\sqrt{16}}}=1.714$

Critical values

On this case since we have a bilateral test we need to critical values. We need to use the t distribution with $df=n-1=16-1=15$ degrees of freedom. The value for $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2=0.025$ so we need to find on the t distribution with 15 degrees of freedom two values that accumulates 0.025 of the ara on each tail. We can use the following excel codes:

"=T.INV(0.025,15)" "=T.INV(1-0.025,15)"

And we got $t_{crit}=\pm 2.131$

So the decision on this case would be:

Reject the null hypothesis if the observed "t" value is less than -2.131 or higher than 2.131

Rejection Zone: $t_{calculated}$ or $t_{calculated}>2.131$

Conclusion

In our case since our calculated value is not on the rejection zone we don't have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance.

An item that was selling for $72.00 was reduced to $60.00. Find the percent decrease in price. Show all your work.

dsp73

The formula to figure out the percentage increase or decrease is:
(new - old) / old * 100% 

new = 60 
old = 72 

(60 - 72) / 72 * 100% 
-12 / 72 * 100% 
= -1/6 * 100% 
= -0.1666... * 100% 
≈ -16.667% 

Because it is negative, that's a decrease. 

Answer: 
A decrease of about 16.7%
