Answer:

1.1 quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount to be added, in quarts. Then the amount of anti-freeze in the resulting solution is ...

0.20(8) + 1.00(x) = 0.30(8 +x)

0.70x = 0.10(8) . . . . . . subtract 0.20(8)+0.30(x)

x = 8/7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

x ≈ 1.142857 ≈ 1.1

About 1.1 quarts of pure antifreeze must be added.

Raisins (x) that sell for $1.60 per pound are mixed with chocolate chips (y) that sell for $2.45 per pound to make 17 pounds of

Rasek [7]

Answer: B) x + y = 17

1.60x + 2.45y = 34

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of x = $1.60 per pound

Cost of y = $2.45 per pound

Total pounds of x and y = 17

Cost per pound of mixture = $2

Total number of pounds of the mixture :

x + y = 17

Since the cost per pound of the mixture = 2

Hence ;

(Cost of x * number of pounds of x) + (Cost of y * number of pounds of y)

(1.60 * x) + (2.45 * y) = (cost per pound of mixture * total number of pounds of the mixture)

1.60x + 2.45y = 2 * 17

1.60x + 2.45y = 34

13. Express the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis in symbolic form. Use the correct symbol (u, P, o) for the indica

liraira [26]

Answer:

Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : P = 4.1%

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : P > 4.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a psychologist claims that more than 4.1% of the population suffers from professional problems due to extreme shyness.

Let p = true percentage of the population that suffers from extreme shyness.

So, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : P = 4.1%

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : P > 4.1%

Here, null hypothesis states that % of the population who suffers from professional problems due to extreme shyness is equal to 4.1%.

On the other hand, alternate hypothesis states that more than 4.1% of the population suffers from professional problems due to extreme shyness.

So, the above hypothesis would be appropriate for conducting the test.
