What statement is true? (Help needed)

A store manager combines 2 lb of trail mix that contains some cashew nuts with 30 lb

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

100%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p = percent of cashews in first mix

2p = lb. of cashews in first mix

30(.20) = 6 = lb. of cashews in second mix

32(.25) = 8 = lb. of cashews in the combined mix

So,

lb. of cashews in first mix + lb. of cashews in second mix = lb. of cashews in the combined mix

2p + 6 = 8

2p = 2

p = 1 = 100%

A serving of Ice cream contains 6400 calories. 1600 calories come from fat. What percent of the total calories come from fat

geniusboy [140]

Just divide.

1600 / 6400 = 0.25

0.25 * 100 = 25%

Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points.(1,7) (10,1)

VladimirAG [237]

So I believe you go
$( y_{1} - y_{2} )$ $(x_{1}- x_{2)}$

and substitute x an y like this

(1-7) (7-1)
and get a slope of -9/6

Sorry If I got it wrong,but I hope I helped

Health insurance benefits vary by the size of the company (the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation website, June 23, 2016). The sa

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

$\chi^2 = \frac{(32-42)^2}{42}+\frac{(18-8)^2}{8}+\frac{(68-63)^2}{63}+\frac{(7-12)^2}{12}+\frac{(89-84)^2}{84}+\frac{(11-16)^2}{16}=19.221$

Now we can calculate the degrees of freedom for the statistic given by:

$df=(rows-1)(cols-1)=(3-1)(2-1)=2$

And we can calculate the p value given by:

$p_v = P(\chi^2_{2} >19.221)=0.000067$

And we can find the p value using the following excel code:

"=1-CHISQ.DIST(19.221,2,TRUE)"

Since the p values is higher than a significance level for example $\alpha=0.05$ , we can reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance, and we can conclude that the two variables are dependent at 5% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A chi-square goodness of fit test "determines if a sample data matches a population".

A chi-square test for independence "compares two variables in a contingency table to see if they are related. In a more general sense, it tests to see whether distributions of categorical variables differ from each another".

Solution to the problem

Assume the following dataset:

Size Company/ Heal. Ins. Yes No Total

Small 32 18 50

Medium 68 7 75

Large 89 11 100

_____________________________________

Total 189 36 225

We need to conduct a chi square test in order to check the following hypothesis:

H0: independence between heath insurance coverage and size of the company

H1: NO independence between heath insurance coverage and size of the company

The statistic to check the hypothesis is given by:

$\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{(O_i -E_i)^2}{E_i}$

The table given represent the observed values, we just need to calculate the expected values with the following formula $E_i = \frac{total col * total row}{grand total}$

And the calculations are given by:

$E_{1} =\frac{50*189}{225}=42$

$E_{2} =\frac{50*36}{225}=8$

$E_{3} =\frac{75*189}{225}=63$

$E_{4} =\frac{75*36}{225}=12$

$E_{5} =\frac{100*189}{225}=84$

$E_{6} =\frac{100*36}{225}=16$

And the expected values are given by:

Size Company/ Heal. Ins. Yes No Total

Small 42 8 50

Medium 63 12 75

Large 84 16 100

_____________________________________

Total 189 36 225

And now we can calculate the statistic:

$\chi^2 = \frac{(32-42)^2}{42}+\frac{(18-8)^2}{8}+\frac{(68-63)^2}{63}+\frac{(7-12)^2}{12}+\frac{(89-84)^2}{84}+\frac{(11-16)^2}{16}=19.221$

Now we can calculate the degrees of freedom for the statistic given by:

$df=(rows-1)(cols-1)=(3-1)(2-1)=2$

And we can calculate the p value given by:

$p_v = P(\chi^2_{2} >19.221)=0.000067$

And we can find the p value using the following excel code:

"=1-CHISQ.DIST(19.221,2,TRUE)"

Since the p values is higher than a significance level for example $\alpha=0.05$ , we can reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance, and we can conclude that the two variables are dependent at 5% of significance.
