The measurements are:
b₁ = 8.4 inches; b₂ = 14 inches; leg₁ = 2.8 inches; leg₂ = 2.8 inches

Let x = length of base and leg

The formula for perimeter of isosceles trapezoid is P = b₁ + b₂ + 2(leg)
Where: b = base

       P = b₁ + b₂ + 2(leg)
     28 = 3x + 5x + 2(x)
     28 = 8x + 2x
28/10 = 10x/10
    2.8 = x

Now, substitute the values:
       P = b₁ + b₂ + 2(leg)
     28 = 3(2.8) + 5(2.8) + 2(2.8)
     28 = 8.4 + 14 + 5.6
     28 = 28

Hence the measurements are:
b₁ = 8.4 inches; b₂ = 14 inches; leg₁ = 2.8 inches; leg₂ = 2.8 inches

There is a total of 2,512 people attending the fun fair. 5/8 of sttemdees are students and 1/4 of attendees are parents. the res
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

<u>314 of the people attending the fun fair are people living in the neighborhood</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the data given to us for solving the question:

Number of people attending the fun fair = 2,512

Fraction of people attending the fun fair that are students = 5/8

Fraction of people attending the fun fair that are parents = 1/4

Rest of the people attending the fun fair lives in the neighborhood

2. Let's calculate the number of students, parents and people living in the neighborhood

Students:

Fraction of people attending the fun fair that are students = 5/8

5/8 * 2,512 = 1,570

1,570 of the people attending the fun fair are students

Parents:

Fraction of people attending the fun fair that are parents = 1/4

1/4 * 2,512 = 628

628 of the people attending the fun fair are parents

People living in the neighborhood

2,512 - 1,570 - 628 = 314

<u>314 of the people attending the fun fair are people living in the neighborhood</u>

Bottles of a popular cola drink are supposed to contain 300 ml of cola. There is some variation from bottle to bottle because th
Ksju [112]

Answer:

We conclude that the mean contents of cola bottles is more than or equal to the advertised 300 ml.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Bottles of a popular cola drink are supposed to contain 300 ml of cola. The distribution of the contents is normal with standard deviation of 3 ml.

A student who suspects that the bottler is under-filling measures the contents of six bottles. The results are: 299.4, 297.7, 301.0, 298.9, 300.2, 297.0

<u><em>Let </em></u>\mu<u><em> = mean contents of cola bottles.</em></u>

SO, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \geq  300 ml   {means that the mean contents of cola bottles is more than or equal to the advertised 300 ml}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu < 300 ml   {means that the mean contents of cola bottles is less than the advertised 300 ml}

The test statistics that will be used here is <u>One-sample z test statistics</u> as we know about the population standard deviation;

                       T.S.  = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \bar X = sample mean contents of cola bottle = \frac{\sum X}{n} = 299.03 ml

            \sigma = population standard deviation = 3 ml

            n = sample of bottles = 6

So, <em><u>test statistics</u></em>  =  \frac{299.03-300}{\frac{3}{\sqrt{6} } }     

                               =  -0.792

<em>Now at 5% significance level, the z table gives critical value of -1.6449 for left-tailed test. Since our test statistics is more than the critical value of z as -0.792 > -1.6449, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which we fail to reject our null hypothesis.</em>

Therefore, we conclude that the mean contents of cola bottles is more than or equal to the advertised 300 ml.
