Answer:

$$2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b = the cost of one brownie, c = cost of one cookie

3b + 5c = 11

b+2c = 3.95

Times 3 on both sides on the second equation above to get the following:

3b + 6c = 11.85

3b+6c - (3b+5c) = 11.85-11

3b+6c-3b-5c = 0.85

c = 0.85

To find the value of b, use substitution:

b+2c = 3.95

b = 3.95-2c

= 3.95 - 2\times0.85

= 2.25

\therefore the cost of a brownie is $$2.25

Hope this helps :)

A researcher wishes to see if the average number of sick days a worker takes per year is less than 5. A random sample of 30 work
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

No. At a significance level of 0.01, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that the average number of sick days a worker takes per year is significantly less than 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.

The claim is that the average number of sick days a worker takes per year is significantly less than 5.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu=5\\\\H_a:\mu< 5

The significance level is 0.01.

The sample has a size n=30.

The sample mean is M=4.8.

The standard deviation of the population is known and has a value of σ=1.2.

We can calculate the standard error as:

\sigma_M=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{1.2}{\sqrt{30}}=0.219

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

z=\dfrac{M-\mu}{\sigma_M}=\dfrac{4.8-5}{0.219}=\dfrac{-0.2}{0.219}=-0.913

This test is a left-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as:

\text{P-value}=P(z

As the P-value (0.181) is bigger than the significance level (0.01), the effect is not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

At a significance level of 0.01, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that the average number of sick days a worker takes per year is significantly less than 5.
