Answer:

He bought 544 oranges and 1,360 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the number of oranges and apples bought

Let the number of oranges be x and the number of apples be y

Looking at their ratios;

x:y = 2:5

so;

x/y = 2/5

2y = 5x ••••••(i)

Now, he lost 3/4 of the apples ( by giving out)

What would be left with him is (1-3/4) = 1/4 * y = 0.25y

What is left with him out if the oranges will be; x-34

So now;

0.25y/x-34 = 2/3

3(0.25y) = 2(x-34) •••••••(ii)

From i, y = 5x/2 = 2.5x

Putting this into ii above, we have

3(0.25)(2.5x) = 2x - 68

1.875x = 2x-68

2x-1.875x = 68

0.125x = 68

x = 68/0.125

x = 544

But y = 2.5x

y = 2.5 * 544 = 1,360

Point C is the center of dilation. Line segment B A is dilated to create line segment B prime A prime. The length of C A is 4. T
saw5 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for figure

CA = 4

CA' = 16

Required

The scale factor (k)

Since point C is the center of dilation, the scale factor (k) is calculated using:

k = \frac{CA + CA'}{CA}

So, we have:

k = \frac{4+16}{4}

k = \frac{20}{4}

k = 5

You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of voters who prefer Candidate A is significantly different from 0.36. With
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion is 0.36 so then we need to conduct a two tailed test, the system of hypothesis are.:  

Null hypothesis:p=0.36  

Alternative hypothesis:p \neq 0.36  

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(z>2.074)=0.0381  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation n  

n represent the random sample taken

\hat p estimated proportion of interest

p_o=0.36 is the value that we want to test

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion is 0.36 so then we need to conduct a two tailed test, the system of hypothesis are.:  

Null hypothesis:p=0.36  

Alternative hypothesis:p \neq 0.36  

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  is significantly different from a hypothesized value .

Calculate the statistic  

For this case the statistic is given:

z = 2.074

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 bilateral test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(z>2.074)=0.0381
