Answer:

2 medium bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Using estimates of 8, 12, and 20 for the number of cups in each bag size, you can see that the number of each size needed is ...

floor(30/8) = 3 . . . small bags

floor(30/12) = 2 . . . medium bags

floor(30/20) = 1 . . . large bag

3 small bags will contain 3(8 1/4) = 24 3/4 cups.

2 medium bags will contain 2(12 3/4) = 24 3/2 = 25 1/4 cups

1 large bag will contain 20 7/8 cups.

The closest Natalie can get without exceeding the container size is with purchase of 2 medium bags.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The best solution would be to purchase 1 small and 1 large bag, for a total of ...

8 1/4 +20 7/8 = 28 9/8 = 29 1/8 . . . cups

However, that purchase is not multiple bags of the same size.

Please help! Please explain how to do this, I am so lost.

Ok, so we know that RST is equal to 6x+12
And RST is also equal to 78 + 3x-12
so we set them equal to each other

6x + 12 = 3x - 12 + 78
And simplify
3x = 54
x = 18

Finally, we solve for the angle with 18 for x

6(18) + 12
108 + 12
120

Hope this helps

Answer:

$t=\frac{4.2-3.6}{\frac{1.4}{\sqrt{16}}}=1.714$

Reject the null hypothesis if the observed "t" value is less than -2.131 or higher than 2.131

Rejection Zone: $t_{calculated}$ or $t_{calculated}>2.131$

In our case since our calculated value is not on the rejection zone we don't have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts and data given

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X=4.2$ represent the sample mean

$s=1.4$ represent the sample standard deviation

n=16 represent the sample selected

$\alpha=0.05$ significance level

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is different from 3.6, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu = 3.6$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 3.6$

If we analyze the size for the sample is < 30 and we know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$t=\frac{4.2-3.6}{\frac{1.4}{\sqrt{16}}}=1.714$

Critical values

On this case since we have a bilateral test we need to critical values. We need to use the t distribution with $df=n-1=16-1=15$ degrees of freedom. The value for $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2=0.025$ so we need to find on the t distribution with 15 degrees of freedom two values that accumulates 0.025 of the ara on each tail. We can use the following excel codes:

"=T.INV(0.025,15)" "=T.INV(1-0.025,15)"

And we got $t_{crit}=\pm 2.131$

So the decision on this case would be:

Reject the null hypothesis if the observed "t" value is less than -2.131 or higher than 2.131

Rejection Zone: $t_{calculated}$ or $t_{calculated}>2.131$

Conclusion

In our case since our calculated value is not on the rejection zone we don't have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance.
