Sandra buys stamps that cost $0.65 each. She spends a total of $158.60 on the stamps. To determine how many stamps she buys, she

needs to divide $158.60 by $0.65.

Basically, we need to find the lowest common multiple of 10 and 15.

that multiply would be 30. That means that the bells will ring together in 30 minutes.
So 30 minutes from 6 p.m. is 6:30 p.m. <==

5. The superintendent of the local school district claims that the children in her district are brighter, on average, than the g

anygoal [31]

Answer:

We conclude that children in district are brighter, on average, than the general population.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data set:

105, 109, 115, 112, 124, 115, 103, 110, 125, 99

Formula:

$\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}$

where $x_i$ are data points, $\bar{x}$ is the mean and n is the number of observations.

$Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}$

$Mean =\displaystyle\frac{1117}{10} = 111.7$

Sum of squares of differences = 642.1

$S.D = \sqrt{\frac{642.1}{49}} = 8.44$

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 106

Sample mean, $\bar{x}$ = 111.7

Sample size, n = 10

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation, s = 8.44

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

$H_{0}: \mu = 106\\H_A: \mu > 106$

We use one-tailed(right) t test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

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

Putting all the values, we have

$t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{111.7 - 106}{\frac{8.44}{\sqrt{10}} } = 2.135$

Now,

$t_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance, 9 degree of freedom } = 1.833$

Since,

$t_{stat} > t_{critical}$

We fail to accept the null hypothesis and reject it. We accept the alternate hypothesis.

We conclude that children in district are brighter, on average, than the general population.

After a storm, 135 trees out of 180 were left standing. What is the percentage loss of the number of trees?

beks73 [17]

Answer:

Percentage loss of the number of trees is $25\%$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: After a storm, $135$ trees out of $180$ were left standing.

To find: What is the percentage loss of the number of trees?

Solution:

We have,

Total number of trees $=180$

Number of trees left standing $=135$

Therefore, loss of trees $=180-135=45$

We now that $\text {Loss\%}=\frac{\text{Number of trees left}}{\text{Total number of trees}}\times 100 \%$

$\implies \text {Loss\%}=\frac{45}{180}\times 100 \%$

$\implies \text {Loss\%}=\frac{450}{18} \%$

$\implies \text {Loss\%}=25 \%$

Hence, the percentage loss of the number of trees is $25\%$ .
