Answer

Let x be the number of tickets sold to adults and y the number sold to students:

x + y = 315. But we know that y was double x, then :

y = 2x

Plug the value of y (in the 1st equation) by 2x:

x+ 2x = 315

3x = 315

and x = 105 (which is the number of tickets sold to adults

In how many ways can a committee of 5 people be chosen from a total of 30 possible people?

Stolb23 [73]

Answer: 142506

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The total number of choices for people in committee = 30

The number of people need to be chosen =5

Since , here order doesn't matter, so we use combination.

The combination of r things taking from n at a time is given by :-

$C(n,r)=\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}$

Now, the number of possible combinations of 5 people be chosen from a total of 30 possible people :-

$C(30,5)=\dfrac{30!}{(30-5)!5!}\\\\=\dfrac{30\times29\times28\times27\times26}{120}\\\\=142506$

Hence, the committee can be made in 142506 ways.

Consider a chemical company that wishes to determine whether a new catalyst, catalyst XA-100, changes the mean hourly yield of i

kolezko [41]

Answer:

Null hypothesis: $\mu = 750$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 750$

$t=\frac{811-750}{\frac{19.647}{\sqrt{5}}}=6.943$

$p_v =2*P(t_{4}>6.943)=0.00226$

If we compare the p value and a significance level assumed $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v$ so we can conclude that we reject the null hypothesis, and the actual true mean is significantly different from 750 pounds per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

Data: 801, 814, 784, 836,820

We can calculate the sample mean and sample deviation with the following formulas:

$\bar X =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

$s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}$

$\bar X=811$ represent the sample mean

$s=19.647$ represent the standard deviation for the sample

$n=5$ sample size

$\mu_o =750$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

State the null and alternative hypotheses to be tested

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to determine if the mean is different from 750 pounds per hour, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu = 750$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 750$

Compute the test statistic

We don't know the population deviation, so for this case 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".

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

$t=\frac{811-750}{\frac{19.647}{\sqrt{5}}}=6.943$

Now we need to find the degrees of freedom for the t distirbution given by:

$df=n-1=5-1=4$

What do you conclude?

Compute the p-value

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

$p_v =2*P(t_{4}>6.943)=0.00226$

If we compare the p value and a significance level assumed $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v$ so we can conclude that we reject the null hypothesis, and the actual true mean is significantly different from 750 pounds per hour.

If the points (-8, 7) and T (6,-3) are on a line segment, find the length of ST.

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>2√74 or 17.20 units</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of w line segment between two points can be found by using the formula

$d = \sqrt{ ({x1 - x2})^{2} + ({y1 - y2})^{2} } \\$

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

S(-8, 7) and T (6,-3)

The length of ST is

$|ST| = \sqrt{ ({ - 8 - 6})^{2} + ({7 + 3})^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{ ({ - 14})^{2} + {10}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{196 + 10} \\ = \sqrt{296} \\ = 2 \sqrt{74} \\ = 17.2046505...$

We have the final answer as

<h3>2√74 or 17.20 units</h3>

Hope this helps you
