Answer:

The number of pounds of apples is 4.5 and the number of pounds of grapes is 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ------> the number of pounds of apples

(x-2) -----> the number of pounds of grapes

we know that

Solve for x

 

so

therefore

The number of pounds of apples is 4.5 and the number of pounds of grapes is 2.5

Answer:

4.5 pounds of apples

2.5 pounds of grapes

Step-by-step explanation:

a = # of apples

(a - 2) = # of grapes

1.68a + 2.48(a - 2) = 13.76

1.68a + 2.48a - 4.96 = 13.76

4.16a = 18.72

a = 4.5; Apples

(a - 2) = 2.5;  Grapes

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, a U.S. government agency, 17.3% of 8th graders in 2010 had used marijuana at
miskamm [114]

Answer:

The conditions for use of the normal model to represent the distribution of sample proportion are not met. He should increase the sample size until the conditions are met.

If the test is done anyway, the null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

The conclusion is taht there is not enough evidence to support the claim that the percentage is lower in this district.

Step-by-step explanation:

The conditions for use of the normal model to represent the distribution of sample proportion are not met, as the affirmative responses are less than 10.

np=80*0.1=8

If the test of hypothesis is done as if the conditiones were met, we know that the claim is that  the percentage is lower in this district.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \pi=0.173\\\\H_a:\pi

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=80.

The sample proportion is p=0.1.

 

The standard error of the proportion is:

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.173*0.827}{80}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.001788}=0.042

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

z=\dfrac{p-\pi+0.5/n}{\sigma_p}=\dfrac{0.1-0.173+0.5/80}{0.042}=\dfrac{-0.067}{0.042}=-1.578

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

P-value=P(z

As the P-value (0.057) is greater than the significance level (0.05), the effect is  not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that  the percentage is lower in this district.

What is the value of x if a rectangle has a perimeter of 50, a length of x + 5, and width of 11?
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2 * width + 2 * length

= 2*11 + 2(x + 5) = 50

2x + 10 + 22 = 50

2x = 50 - 10 - 22

2x = 18

x = 9

How do you find the formula of a half circle?
Alik [6]
Full circle
Circumference = 2*pi * r 
Circumference = pi * d 

Area = pi r * r = pi * r^2
Area = pi d^2 / 4

Half circle
Circumference = pi * r
Circumference = pi * r / 2

Area = pi  r^2 / 2
Area = pi d^2/8

The answer depends on what you are looking for and what you are given. But those are the only common formulas I can think of at the moment.
