Answer:

1. (rose bunches, lily bunches) ∈ {(2, 3), (4, 6), (6, 9), (8, 12)}. The least is (2, 3).

2. 6(2+3); 14(3+1); 9(4+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

I like Euclid's algorithm for finding the greatest common factor (GCF): divide the larger number by the smaller, and note the remainder. If the remainder is zero, the smaller is the GCF; if not, use the remainder in place of the larger number and repeat.

1. The GCF of 8 and 12 is 4, so the least common multiple is ...

LCM(a, b) = ab/GCF(a, b)

LCM(8, 12) = 8·12/4 = 24

24 roses is 2 bunches; 24 lilies is 3 bunches. Up to 8 bunches of roses can be ordered to keep the number less than 100.

The florist could have ordered these numbers of bunches (roses, lilies):

(2, 3), (4, 6), (6, 9), (8, 12)

The least order is 2 bunches of roses and 3 bunches of lilies.

A. GCF = 6, so the factored form is 6(2+3)

B. GCF = 14, so the factored form is 14(3+1)

C. GCF = 9, so the factored form is 9(4+3)

Hypothesis Testing for Means with Small Samples

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The variable of interest is

X: volume of root beer in a Windsor Bottling Company can.

A sample of n=24 cans was taken and their contents measured, resulting:

X[bar]= 11.4 oz

S= 0.62 oz

Assuming that the variable has a normal distribution X~N(μ;σ²), the parameter of interest is the average contents of the root beer cans of the Windsor Bottling Company (μ)

The claim is that the population mean content of the cans is different from 12 oz, symbolically: μ ≠ 12

The statistical hypothesis (Null and alternative) have to be complementary, exhaustive and mutually exclusive. The null hypothesis is the "no change" hypothesis and always carries the "=" sign.

If the claim is μ ≠ 12, its complement is μ = 12, the expression carrying the "=" sign will be the null hypothesis and its complement will be the alternative hypothesis:

H₀: μ = 12

H₁: μ ≠ 12

α: 0.05

To test the population mean of this normal population, you have to apply a one sample t-test, with statistic:

$t= \frac{X[bar]-Mu}{\frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } } ~t_{n-1}$

$t_{H_0}= \frac{11.4-12}{\frac{0.62}{\sqrt{24} } } = -4.74$

This test is two-tailed, using the critical value approach, you have to determine two rejection regions. Meaning, you'll reject the null hypothesis to small values of the statistic or to high values of the statistic.

$t_{n-1;\alpha /2}= t_{23;0.025}= -2.069$

$t_{n-1;1-\alpha /2}= t_{23;0.975}= 2.069$

The decision rule is:

If $t_{H_0}$ ≤ -2.069 or if $t_{H_0}$ ≥ 2.069, then you reject the null hypothesis.

If -2.069 < $t_{H_0}$ < 2.069, then you do not reject the null hypothesis.

The value is less than the left critical value, the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

Then you can say that with a 5% significance level, there is significant evidence to reject the null hypothesis, then the average amount of root beer of the Windsor Bottling Company is different from 12 oz, this means that the claim about the amount of root beer in the cans is correct.

I hope it helps!

How do I answer this question?

Novay_Z [31]

Due to the Triangle Angle Sum Theorem, we know that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle equals 180 degrees, therefore,

180 = m<1 + m<2 + m<3

180 - m<3 = m<1 + m<2

But, we also know that m<4 + m<3 = 180 degrees.

180 = m<3 + m<4

180 - m<3 = m<4

Both m<4 and m<1 + m<2 equals 180 - m<3

m<4 = m<1 + m<2

Solve the system of equations using substitution y=x-1 and y=-2x+5

pav-90 [236]

Since the two equations equal y, set them equal to each other.

x-1=-2x+5

From there, solve for x.

First get x on one side, by using the addition property of equality.

x-1=-2x+5
3x-1=5

Isolate x by adding 1.
3x=6

Lastly get x all by itself by dividing each side by 3.
x=2

You can now substitute your x-value, 2, into one of the equations (or both, if you wish; either one will result in the same answer.)

y=x-1
y=2-1
y=1

OR

y=-2x+5
y=-2(2)+5
y=-4+5
y=1

Final answer:
x=2 and y=1

Any questions or anything you would like me to clarify, feel free to ask :)
