Answer:

get 1 … what? free? half-price? something else?

Let x= price of 1 item

Then 3x= price of 3 items

Buy 2 , get 1 free

Total cost =2x

Discount =3x−2x=x

Discount percentage =x/(3x)=0.333…=3313%

Buy 2 , get 1 half price

Total cost =2x+0.5x=2.5x

Discount =3x−2.5x=0.5x

Discount percentage =0.5x/(3x)=0.1666…=1623%

A manufacturer of banana chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 436.0 gram setting. It

Vilka [71]

Answer:

We conclude that the machine is under filling the bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 436.0 gram

Sample mean, $\bar{x}$ = 429.0 grams

Sample size, n = 40

Alpha, α = 0.05

Population standard deviation, σ = 23.0 grams

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

$H_{0}: \mu = 436.0\text{ grams}\\H_A: \mu < 436.0\text{ grams}$

We use one-tailed(left) z test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

$z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} }$

Putting all the values, we have

$z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{429 - 436}{\frac{23}{\sqrt{40}} } = -1.92$

Now, $z_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance } = -1.64$

Since,

$z_{stat} < z_{critical}$

We reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis. Thus, we conclude that the machine is under filling the bags.
