Answer:

We fail to reject the null hypothesis, we accept H₀

Step-by-step explanation:

Population proportion        p₀   =  55 %    p₀   =  0,55

Sample  size         n  =  280

Sample mean     p =  51 %            p =  0,51       q = 0,49

n*p   and  n*q   are both bigger than 10 therefore we can approximate the binomial distribution to a normal distribution

Test  Hypothesis

Null Hypothesis                             H₀                   p   =  p₀

Alternative Hypothesis                Hₐ                    p   ≠  p₀

Significance level is  α  = 0,05    but we have a two-tail test then

α/2  =  0,025

z(c)  =  - 1,96

Computing  z(s)

z(s)  =  ( p - p₀ ) / √(p*q)/n

z(s)  =  ( 0,51 - 0,55 ) / √(0,51*0,49)/280

z(s)  =  - 0,04 * 16,73 / 0,5

z(s)  =  -  1,34

Comparing

z(s)   and z(c)

- 1,34    <    - 1,96

| z(s) | < | z(c)|

Then z(s) is in the acceptance region,  we accept H₀

Charlie knows that 3 blocks are needed to make a tower that is 0.5 foot high.
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

24 blocks will be needed to make the tower that is 4 feet high

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us use the ratio method to solve the question

∵ Charlie knows that 3 blocks are needed to make a tower that is

   0.5 foot high

∵ He needs to make a tower that is 4 feet high

→ By using the ratio method

→  Blocks  :  height (ft)

→   3          :   0.5

→   x          :   4

→ By using the cross multiplication

∵ x × 0.5 = 3 × 4

∴ 0.5x = 12

→ Divide both sides by 0.5 to find x

∵ \frac{0.5x}{0.5} = \frac{12}{0.5}

∴ x = 24

∵ x represents the number of blocks

∴ 24 blocks will be needed to make the tower that is 4 feet high

horsena [70]

Answer:

it si this

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

4y + -10 = 5 + -1y

Reorder the terms:

-10 + 4y = 5 + -1y

Solving

-10 + 4y = 5 + -1y

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add 'y' to each side of the equation.

-10 + 4y + y = 5 + -1y + y

Combine like terms: 4y + y = 5y

-10 + 5y = 5 + -1y + y

Combine like terms: -1y + y = 0

-10 + 5y = 5 + 0

-10 + 5y = 5

Add '10' to each side of the equation.

-10 + 10 + 5y = 5 + 10

Combine like terms: -10 + 10 = 0

0 + 5y = 5 + 10

5y = 5 + 10

Combine like terms: 5 + 10 = 15

5y = 15

Divide each side by '5'.

y = 3

Simplifying

y = 3
