Answer:

He has 30 penguins and 10 cats.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the variables:

C =  number of cats.

P = number of penguins.

We know that he has a total of 40 pets, then:

C + P = 40

We also know that the total heads (40 heads, each animal has one) plus the number of wings (P*2, each penguin has 2) is equal to the number of feet of his pets (4*C + 2*P, because each cat has 4 paws, and each penguin has 2)

Then we have the equation:

40 + 2*P = 4*C + 2*P

Notice that in the second equation we have the term 2*P in both sides of the equation, then we can just subtract 2*P in both sides to get:

(40 + 2*P) - 2*P = 4*C + 2*P - 2*P

40 = 4*C

Now with this, we can find the value of C.

40/4 = C = 10

Then he has 10 cats.

Now we can replace this in the equation:

P + C = 40

to find the value of P

P + 10 = 40

P = 40 - 10 = 30

P = 30

He has 30 penguins.

The difference between a number and five equals three. Translate this sentence to an equation and then find the number .
MAXImum [283]
Let:
x = Desired Number
The information put into numbers would look like this:
x - 5 = 3
All we have to do is add 5 to both sides to get x on its own on the left and a single number on the right side, so:
x = 3 + 5
x = 8

You conduct a simulation regarding which team spectators at a football game support. Your null hypothesis is that there are equa
Llana [10]

Answer:

As the <em>p</em>-value is too small the null hypothesis will be rejected concluding that there is a higher proportion of people supporting the home team.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypothesis to determine which team spectators at a football game support is:

<em>H₀</em>: There are equal proportions of people supporting the home team and the visiting team, i.e. <em>p</em>₁ = <em>p</em>₂.

<em>Hₐ</em>: There is a higher proportion of people supporting the home team than the visiting team, i.e. <em>p</em>₁ > <em>p</em>₂.

A <em>z</em>-test for difference between proportions can be used to perform the test.

The test statistic is:

z=\frac{\hat p_{1}-\hat p_{2}}{\sqrt{P(1-P)\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}}}}}

Th decision rule is:

If the <em>p</em>-value of the test is less than the significance level <em>α </em>then the null hypothesis will be rejected and vice-versa.

The commonly used significance levels are 0.01, 0.05 and 0.10.

The <em>p</em>-value of the test is computed as, <em>p</em> = 0.002.

The <em>p</em>-value of the test is less than all the significance level.

Thus, the null hypothesis will be rejected at any of the three significance level.

Conclusion:

As the <em>p</em>-value is too small the null hypothesis will be rejected concluding that there is a higher proportion of people supporting the home team.
