8 0

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  180,651

Step-by-step explanation:

Each year, the population is multiplied by the factor 1 + 4% = 1.04. After 8 years, it will have been multiplied by that factor 8 times. We indicate repeated multiplication like that using an exponent.

  population in 8 years = 132,000 × 1.04^8 ≈ 180,651

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

A. 3.2307692308 batches of Muffins

B. 16 1/4 cups of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

Lauren is making muffins. Her muffin recipe calls for 3 1 −4 cups of flour. She has 10 1 −2 cups of flour.

A. Explain a method for determining the number of batches of the muffin recipe Lauren can make. Then use your method to find the number of batches she can make.

Her muffin recipe calls for 3 1 −4 cups of flour. She has 10 1 −2 cups of flour.

3 1/4 cups of flour = 1 batch of Muffin recipe

10 1/2 cups of flour = x

3 1/4 × x = 10 1/2 × 1

x = 10 1/2 ÷ 3 1/4

x = 21/2 ÷ 13/4

x = 21/2 × 4/13

x = 42/13

x = 3.2307692308 batches of Muffins

B. If Lauren plans to make 5 batches of the muffin recipe, use what you know about operating with rational numbers to predict the amount of flour she needs. Justify your prediction.

3 1/4 cups of flour = 1 batch of Muffin recipe

Hence,

1 batch = 3 1/4 cups of flour

5 batches = x

Cross Multiply

x = 5 × 3 1/4 cups of flour

x = 5 × 13/4

x = 65/4

x = 16 1/4 cups of flour

A spherical ball of wax with a radius of 5 inches is melted and poured into a container shaped like a rectangular prism with a 1
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

4.36 in

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we first find the volume of the sphere using the volume formula, after this we set this volume equal to the volume container which is a rectangular prism. After this we simple solve for the height by dividing the volume of the sphere by 12*10 to get the height

So the steps should look like

(4/3)*π*5³=523.599 in³

523.599 in³=12*10*Height

(523.599/(12*10))=4.36 in

A random sample of 100 observations from a quantitative population produced a sample mean of 22.8 and a sample standard deviatio
natima [27]

Answer:

We conclude that the population mean is 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 24

Sample mean, \bar{x} = 22.8

Sample size, n = 100

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation, s = 8.3

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

H_{0}: \mu = 24\\H_A: \mu \neq 24

We use Two-tailed z test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }

Putting all the values, we have

z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{22.8 - 24}{\frac{8.3}{\sqrt{100}} } = -1.44

We calculate the p-value with the help of standard z table.

P-value = 0.1498

Since the p-value is greater than the significance level, we accept the null hypothesis. The population mean is 24.

Now, z_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance } = \pm 1.96

Since,  the z-statistic lies in the acceptance region which is from -1.96 to +1.96, we accept the null hypothesis and conclude that the population mean is 24.
