Lynn is making custom bricks. She combines 39 pounds of water and 48 pounds of brick dust in a mixing bucket. She spills 13 poun

ds of the mixture while stirring the contents. The mixture is then poured into small dirt holes to make bricks. Each brick requires 7 pounds of mixture, and the leftover mixture is washed out of the mixing bucket.
What is the greatest number of bricks Lynn can make?

Lynn mixes 39 pounds of water with 48 pounds of brick dust, so the mixture has a total weight of 39 + 48 = 87 pounds.

13 pounds are spilled during mixing, so she's left with 87 - 13 = 74 pounds to turn into bricks.

7 pounds are needed for 1 brick, so she can make 10 bricks because 7 • 10 = 70 and 7 • 11 = 77, and 70 < 74 < 77.

If she uses the mixture to make 10 bricks, she uses up 70 pounds of it, which leaves 4 pounds to be washed out.

Historically, the proportion of students entering a university who finished in 4 years or less was 63%. To test whether this pro
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

z(c)  = - 1,64

We reject the null hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve a proportion test ( one tail-test ) left test

Normal distribution

p₀ = 63 %

proportion size  p = 51 %

sample size  n = 114

At 5% level of significance   α = 0,05, and with this value we find in z- table z score of z(c) = 1,64  ( critical value )

Test of proportion:

H₀     Null Hypothesis                        p = p₀

Hₐ    Alternate Hypothesis                p < p₀

We now compute z(s) as:

z(s) =  ( p - p₀ ) / √ p₀q₀/n

z(s) =( 0,51 - 0,63) / √0,63*0,37/114

z(s) =  - 0,12 / 0,045

z(s) = - 2,66

We compare z(s) and z(c)

z(s) < z(c)      - 2,66 < -1,64

Therefore as z(s) < z(c)  z(s) is in the rejection zone we reject the null hypothesis

Explain how to divide a number by a fraction
saw5 [17]

if a whole number, put the number above a one like so : if the number was 8, write it as 8/1

multiply the number by the reciprocal of the fraction

example: 8 divided by 1/3

8/1 times 3/1 =24/1

=24

Between 10 P.M. and 7:54 A.M.​, the water level in a swimming pool decreased by 11/40 . Assuming that the water level decreased
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

It approximately dropped 0.027777 per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we calculate the decrease.

Decrease = 11/40 = 0.275

Then,  we calculate the time interval.

From 10 pm to 7:54 hours will be 9.54 hours

Time interval= (9 + 54/60) hours

Time interval=9.9 hours

Finally, we calculate how much it dropped each hour

0.275/9.9 ≈ 0.027777

So it approximately dropped 0.027777 per hour.
