A recipe calls for 3 cups of flour to make 2 batches of dinner rolls. One batch makes 15 rolls. Laura is making dinner for 12 pe

ople and only needs one roll per person.
What proportion will help Laura find how much flour is needed to make 12 dinner rolls?
A. 3/30 = x/12
B. 3/2 = x/12
C. 3/15 = x/12
D. 12/15 = x/3

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

3 cups of flour produces 2 batches of dinner rolls. So, if one batch makes 15 rolls, then 2 batches makes 30 rolls. Therefore, 3 cups of flour produces 30 rolls.

Laura wants to find how much flour she needs to make 12 rolls.

Here's the setup:

Let x be the number of cups of flour needed. Then,

(3 cups of flour)/(30 rolls)=(x cups of flour)/(12 rolls)

This is the set up for all equations involving ratios. The units should be consistent. Notice how I have flour/rolls=flour/rolls.

It is not necessary to solve the equation, but you should to make sure your answer makes sense. By cross-multiplying, we get x=(3*12)/30 or 1.2 cups.

This solution makes sense. Because 3 cups of flour produces 30 rolls, one cup produces 10 rolls. We need slightly more than 1 cup to get 12 rolls.

The Johnson twins were born nine years after their older sister. This year, the product of the three siblings ages is exactly 18
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: The age of the twins is 10 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the age of older sister be x

Let the age of twins sister be x-9, as they are born after 9 years.

Product of their ages be

x(x-9)(x-9)\\\\=x(x^2-18x+81)\\\\=x^3-18x^2+81x

Sum of their ages will be

x+x-9+x-9\\\\=3x-18

According to question,

1861+3x-18=x^3-18x^2+81x\\\\x^3-18x^2+81x-3x+18-1861=0\\\\x^3-18x^2+78x-1843=0\\\\x=19

So, Age of older sister will be 19 years.

Age of the twins will be

19-9=10\ years

Hence, the age of the twins is 10 years.

A manufacturer produces light bulbs that have a mean life of at least 500 hours when the production process is working properly.
denpristay [2]

Answer:

We conclude that the population mean light bulb life is at least 500 hours at the significance level of 0.01.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a manufacturer produces light bulbs that have a mean life of at least 500 hours when the production process is working properly. The population standard deviation is 50 hours and the light bulb life is normally distributed.

You select a sample of 100 light bulbs and find mean bulb life is 490 hours.

Let \mu = <u><em>population mean light bulb life.</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \geq 500 hours      {means that the population mean light bulb life is at least 500 hours}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu < 500 hours     {means that the population mean light bulb life is below 500 hours}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>One-sample z test statistics</u> as we know about the population standard deviation;

                           T.S. =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \bar X = sample mean bulb life = 490 hours

           σ = population standard deviation = 50 hours

           n = sample of light bulbs = 100

So, <u><em>the test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{490-500}{\frac{50}{\sqrt{100} } }

                                     =  -2

The value of z test statistics is -2.

<u>Now, at 0.01 significance level the z table gives critical value of -2.33 for left-tailed test.</u>

Since our test statistic is higher than the critical value of z as -2 > -2.33, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which <u>we fail to reject our null hypothesis.</u>

Therefore, we conclude that the population mean light bulb life is at least 500 hours.
