He multiplyed 3x8 and 5x8 when it should be 3x8 and 5x1 because you but 1 under the 8 to make it into a fraction.

Emerson is making a punch that contains 60% grape juice and the rest lemon-lime soda. The punch has 2 liters of lemon-lime soda.

valina [46]

Part A.

Consider a punch containing L liters.

60% of these that is $\frac{60}{100}L=0.6L$ is grape juice, and the rest, 0.4 L is lemon-soda.

so, for the variable L, the total amount of punch, the total amount of grape juice is 0.6 L
and the amount of lemon soda in the punch is 0.4L

Part B.

For L=2, we substitute and get:

0.6 L=0.6 * 2 liters = 1.2 liters of grape juice

0.4 L = 0.4 * 2 liters = 0.8 liters of lemon soda.

Add. Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction or as a whole or mixed number. 9/ 10 + 4/ 5 =

Serjik [45]

Before adding dissimilar fractions (fractions with different denominator), you have to make the fractions similar first. To make the fractions similar, find the Least Common Multiple of the denominator. In this case, the LCM is 10. Then rewrite the fractions using the LCM as the denominator.
9/10 = 9/10; 4/5 = 8/10
You can now proceed with addition -
9/10 + 8/10 = 17/10 or 1 7/10

A recent study found that 51 children who watched a commercial for Walker Crisps (potato chips) featuring a long-standing sports

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

The claim is that the mean amount of Walker Crisps eaten was significantly higher for the children who watched the sports celebrity- endorsed Walker Crisps commercial

The kind of test to use is a t -test because a t -test is used to check if there is a difference between means of a population

$t = 3.054$

The p-value is $p-value = P(Z > 3.054) = 0.0011291$

The conclusion is

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean amount of Walker Crisps eaten was significantly higher for the children who watched the sports celebrity- endorsed Walker Crisps commercial

The test statistics is

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The first sample size is $n_1 = 51$

The first sample mean is $\mu_1 = 36$

The second sample size is $n_2 = 41$

The second sample size is $\mu_2 = 25$

The first standard deviation is $\sigma _1 = 21.4 \ g$

The second standard deviation is $\sigma _2 = 12.8 \ g$

The level of significance is $\alpha = 0.05$

The null hypothesis is $H_o : \mu_1 = \mu_ 2$

The alternative hypothesis is $H_a : \mu_1 > \mu_2$

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

$t = \frac{\= x_1 - \= x_2}{ \sqrt{ \frac{s_1^2}{n_1} + \frac{s_2^2}{n_2} } }$

=> $t = \frac{ 36 - 25}{ \sqrt{ \frac{ 21.4^2}{51} + \frac{ 12.8^2}{41} } }$

=> $t = 3.054$

The p-value is mathematically represented as

$p-value = P(Z > 3.054)$

Generally from the z table

$P(Z > 3.054) = 0.0011291$

=> $p-value = P(Z > 3.054) = 0.0011291$

From the values obtained we see that $p-value < \alpha$ so the null hypothesis is rejected

Thus the conclusion is

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean amount of Walker Crisps eaten was significantly higher for the children who watched the sports celebrity- endorsed Walker Crisps commercial
