Assuming x = nickels, y = quarters

x + y = 40 \\ 0.05x + 0.25y = 5.20

x + y = 40 \\ x = 40 - y

Substitute that into
0.05(40 - y) + 0.25y = 5.20 \\ 2 - 0.05y + 0.25y = 5.20 \\ 0.2y = 3.20 \\ y = 16

Substitute that into
x + 16 = 40 \\ x = 24

Answer : He has 24 nickels.

Hope this helps. - M

A class of 30 swim team members took a lifesaving test. Eighteen of the members had an average score of 92. The remaining member
andrew-mc [135]
Okay, so let's find the average
People with 92: 18(92)
People with 84: 12(84)
1656 + 1008 = 2664
So then we divide by 30
2664 / 30: 88.8
The average is a score of 88.8

A lab technician is tested for her consistency by taking multiple measurements of cholesterol levels from the same blood sample.
Zina [86]

Answer and Explanation:

Given : A lab technician is tested for her consistency by taking multiple measurements of cholesterol levels from the same blood sample.

The target accuracy is a variance in measurements of 1.2 or less. If the lab technician takes 16 measurements and the variance of the measurements in the sample is 2.2.

To find :

1) Does this provide enough evidence to reject the claim that the lab technician’s accuracy is within the target accuracy?

2)Compute the value of the appropriate test statistic ?

Solution :

1) n=16 number of sample

The target accuracy is a variance in measurements of 1.2 or less i.e. \sigma_1^2 =1.2

The variance of the measurements in the sample is 2.2 i.e. \sigma_2^2=2.2

According to question,  

We state the null and alternative hypotheses,

Null hypothesis H_o : \text{var}^2 \geq 1.2

Alternative hypothesis H_a : \text{var}^2

We claim the alternative hypothesis.

2) Compute the value of the appropriate test statistic.

Using Chi-square,

\chi =\frac{(n-1)\sigma_2^2}{\sigma_1^2}

\chi =\frac{(16-1)(2.2)}{(1.2)}

\chi =\frac{(15)(2.2)}{1.2}

\chi =\frac{33}{1.2}

\chi =27.5

Therefore, The value of the appropriate test statistic is 27.5.
