A recent study suggested that 81% of senior citizens take at least one prescription medication. Amelia is a nurse at a large hos

pital who would like to know whether the percentage is the same for senior citizen patients who go to her hospital. She randomly selects 59 senior citizens patients who were treated at the hospital and finds that 49 of them take at least one prescription medication. What are the null and alternative hypotheses for this hypothesis test?

Null hypothesis: p = 0.81

Alternative hypothesis: p \ne 0.81

The null is based on a recent study that 81% of the population (in this case senior citizens) takes at least one medication. The alternative hypothesis is basically the flip of the claim made in the null.

If Amelia wanted to know if the percentage was less than 81%, then the alternative would be p < 0.81

If Amelia wanted to know if the percentage was larger than 81%, then the alternative would be p > 0.81

However, she wants to know if the percentage is 81%.

A recipe says it produced the best sweet tea. In addition to using tea bags, the recipe calls for ½ cup of sugar for every 1 ½ c
Sergio [31]

Answer:

The relationship between the number of cups of water and sugar  in the recipe is w = ¹/₃(s)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

number of cups of sugar = s

number of cups of water = w

The relationship between the number of cups of water and sugar in this recipe is given as;

½ cup of sugar is proportional to 1 ½ cups of water

\frac{1}{2} s = \frac{3}{2}w\\\\s= 3w\\\\w = \frac{s}{3}

Therefore, the relationship between the number of cups of water and sugar  in the recipe is w = ¹/₃(s)

A system of 2 linear equations is ___ dimensional. It is a graph of _____ lines. The solutions can be _____ solution if the grap
dexar [7]

Considering High School level question, answer can be written as:


A system of 2 linear equations is [two] dimensional. It is a graph of [two] lines. The solutions can be [unique] solution if the graph intersects. [No] solution if the lines are parallel - meaning they have the same slope, or [Infinitely many] solutions if they are the same line.

Explanation:

when two lines are drawn on a two-dimensional plane then there are only three possible cases:


Case1: lines will intersect

In that case you will get a unique solution at the intersection point.


Case2: lines are parallel but don't touch each other

In that case there will be no point which lies on both lines so No solution.


Case3: lines are overlapping.

In that case all the points lies on both lines so infinitely many solutions.
