Answer:

See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Total no of students = 24

No of boys = 10

So, no of girls = 24 - 10 = 14

Ratio of boys to girls = 10/14 = 5/7 = 5 : 7

So the ratio of boys to girls should be 5 : 7 and not 5 : 12

Stefan sells Jim a bicycle for $175 and a helmet for $17. The total cost for Jim is 160% of what Stefan spent originally to buy
Nady [450]

Answer:

Stefan spend $120 originally.

Stefan made $72 by selling bicycle and helmet to Jim.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of bicycle = $175

Cost of Helmet = $17

Percent of total cost of Jim = 160% of original cost of Stefan

We need to find the Amount Stefan spend originally and money he made by selling the bicycle and helmet to Jim.

Solution:

Let the Amount Stefan spend originally be 'x'.

Total Cost of Jim is equal to sum of Cost of bicycle and Cost of Helmet.

framing in equation form we get;

Total Cost of Jim = 175+17 =\$192

Now we know that;

Total Cost of Jim is equal to 160% of  Amount Stefan spend originally.

framing in equation form we get;

192 = \frac{160}{100}\times x\\\\192 =1.6x

Dividing both side by 1.6 we get;

\frac{192}{1.6}=\frac{1.6x}{1.6}\\\\x= \$120

Hence Stefan spend $120 originally.

Now we can say that;

Money Stefan made is equal to Money Stefan spend originally minus Total Cost of Jim.

framing in equation form we get;

Money Stefan made = 192-120 =\$72

Hence Stefan made $72 by selling bicycle and helmet to Jim.

Hi there

14000=-2000t+20000
Solve for t to find the age of the car
2000t=20000-14000
2000t=6000

The amount of water consumed each day by a healthy adult follows a normal distribution with a mean of 1.30 liters. A health camp
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

H0: μ ≤ 1.30

H1: μ > 1.30

|Test statistic | > 1.833 ; Reject H0

Test statistic = 3.11

Yes

Pvalue = 0.006

Step-by-step explanation:

H0: μ ≤ 1.30

H1: μ > 1.30

Samples, X ; 1.36,1.35,1.33, 1.66, 1.58, 1.32, 1.38, 1.42, 1.90, 1.54

Xbar = 14.84 / 10 = 1.484

Standard deviation, s = 0.187 (calculator)

Decison rule :

|Test statistic | > TCritical ; reject H0

df = n - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9

Tcritical(0.05; 9) = 1.833

|Test statistic | > 1.833 ; Reject H0

Test statistic :

(xbar - μ) ÷ (s/√(n))

(1.484 - 1.30) ÷ (0.187/√(10))

0.184 / 0.0591345

Test statistic = 3.11

Since ;

|Test statistic | > TCritical ; We reject H0 and conclude that water consumption has increased

Pvalue estimate using the Pvalue calculator :

Pvalue = 0.006
