On one day, 4 chefs and 5 helpers earned $650.

1 answer:

6 0

4c + 5h = 650 and

5c + 6h = 800 where c are chefs, h are helpers

Start by finding an expression for c

4c + 5h = 650
4c = 650 -5h
c = (650- 5h)/4

Then substitute that into the second equation and solve for a number value for h
5 (650-5h)/4 + 6h = 800
(3250-25h)/4 + 6h = 800
Multiply both sides by 4
3250-25h + 24h = 3200
-h = -50
h = 50

Take that 50 and substitute it into the expression we have for c to get a number value for c

C= 650-5(50)/4
C = 650-250/4
C = 400/4
C= 100

Check your first equations, substituting $50 for the helpers and $100 for the chefs.

4 (100) + 5(50) =
400 + 250 = 650

5(100) + 6(50) =
500 + 300 = 800

The temperature outside is currently 10°F. It will fall at a constant rate of 3°F per hour. Which temperature will it be in 4 ho

Elenna [48]

Answer:

The temperature in 4 hours = -2 °F

Thus, option (D) is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation is

$y = mx+b$

where m is the rate of change or slope and b is the y-intercept

Let 'y' be the temperature

Let 'x' be the time of the temperature in the hour

Given that the current temperature outside = 10°F.

Thus, the y-intercept = b = 10°F

Given that as the day went on, It will fall at a constant rate of 3°F per hour.

Thus, the slope or rate of change = -3°F

(The rate of change or slope is -3 because the temperature is reducing)

Thus, the rate of change = slope = m = -3

Thus, substituting m = -3 and b = 10 in the equation

$y = mx+b$

$y = -3x + 10$

Now, substituting x = 4 to determine the temperature after 4 hours.

y = -3(4) + 10

y = -12 + 12

y = -2 °F

Therefore, the temperature in 4 hours = -2 °F

Thus, option (D) is true.

Clara would like to buy a toy for her baby sister that sells for

trapecia [35]

So all you need to do is to multiply 12.49 by 1.13 ( since 1.00 is the price and 0.13 is the added tax rate), which gives you $14.11

A conical tent made of canvas has a base that is 34 feet across and a slant height of 12 feet to the nearest whole unit what is

RideAnS [48]

Check the picture below.

$\bf \textit{total surface area of a cone}\\\\
SA=\pi r\sqrt{r^2+h^2}+\pi r^2~~
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
h=height\\
-------\\
r=17\\
\sqrt{r^2+h^2}=12
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
SA=\pi (17)(12)+\pi (17)^2\implies SA=204\pi +289\pi \implies SA=493\pi$

The test statistic of zequals2.32 is obtained when testing the claim that pgreater than0.3. a. Identify the hypothesis test as b

Sonja [21]

Answer:

a) We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion p is greatr than 0.3, so then the system of hypothesis are.:

Null hypothesis: $p \leq 0.3$

Alternative hypothesis: $p > 0.3$

Right tailed test

b) $p_v =P(z>2.32)=0.0102$

c) So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.1$ we have $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 1% of significance the proportion of interest is higher than 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a: Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion p is greatr than 0.3, so then the system of hypothesis are.:

Null hypothesis: $p \leq 0.3$

Alternative hypothesis: $p > 0.3$

Right tailed test

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitc, and the is given by:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion $\hat p$ is significantly different from a hypothesized value $p_o$ .

Calculate the statistic

For this case the statistic is given by $z_{calc}= 2.32$

Part b: Statistical decision

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.

The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(z>2.32)=0.0102$

Part c

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.1$ we have $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 1% of significance the proportion of interest is higher than 0.3
