1 penny is just 1c
one nickel is 5 pennies or 5c

alrite...

p = amount of pennies in the jar
n = amount of nickels in the jar

we know there are 56 coins in the jar, thus whatever "p" and "n" are,

p + n = 56

we also know, the total value of all pennies and nickels is one buck and 52 cents, or 1.52.. that's 152 pennies.

now, we know there are 5 pennies in one nickel, so in "n" nickels, there are 5*n pennies, or 5n, thus

p + 5n = 152

\bf \begin{cases}
p+n=56\implies \boxed{n}=56-p\\
p+5n=152\\
----------\\
p+5\left( \boxed{56-p} \right)=152
\end{cases}

solve for "p", to see how many penny coins are there.

what about the nickels? well, n = 56 - p.

The owner of a local nightclub has recently surveyed a random sample of n = 250 customers of the club. She would now like to det
seraphim [82]

Answer:

The required hypothesis to test is H_0: \mu\leq 30 and H_1: \mu>30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that the nightclub has recently surveyed a random sample of n = 250 customers of the club.

She would now like to determine whether or not the mean age of her customers is over 30.

Null hypotheses is represents as H_0. Thus the null hypotheses is shown as:

H_0: \mu\leq 30

The alternative hypotheses is represents as H_1. Thus the alternative hypotheses is shown as:

H_1: \mu>30

Hence, the required hypothesis to test is H_0: \mu\leq 30 and H_1: \mu>30.

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval is given by (25.71536 ;28.32464)

And if we need to round we can use the following excel code:

round(lower,2)

[1] 25.72

round(upper,2)

[1] 28.32

And the interval would be (25.72; 28.32)  

Step-by-step explanation:

Notation and definitions  

n=50 represent the sample size  

\bar X= 27.2 represent the sample mean  

s=5.83 represent the sample standard deviation  

m represent the margin of error  

Confidence =88% or 0.88

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

Calculate the critical value tc  

In order to find the critical value is important to mention that we don't know about the population standard deviation, so on this case we need to use the t distribution. Since our interval is at 88% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.88=0.12 and \alpha/2 =0.06. The degrees of freedom are given by:  

df=n-1=50-1=49  

We can find the critical values in R using the following formulas:  

qt(0.06,49)

[1] -1.582366

qt(1-0.06,49)

[1] 1.582366

The critical value tc=\pm 1.582366  

Calculate the margin of error (m)  

The margin of error for the sample mean is given by this formula:  

m=t_c \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}  

m=1.582366 \frac{5.83}{\sqrt{50}}=14.613  

With R we can do this:

m=1.582366*(5.83/sqrt(50))

m

[1] 1.304639

Calculate the confidence interval  

The interval for the mean is given by this formula:  

\bar X \pm t_{c} \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}  

And calculating the limits we got:  

27.02 - 1.582366 \frac{5.83}{\sqrt{50}}=25.715  

27.02 + 1.582366 \frac{5.83}{\sqrt{50}}=28.325

Using R the code is:

lower=27.02-m;lower

[1] 25.71536

upper=27.02+m;upper

[1] 28.32464

The 95% confidence interval is given by (25.71536 ;28.32464)  

And if we need to round we can use the following excel code:

round(lower,2)

[1] 25.72

round(upper,2)

[1] 28.32

And the interval would be (25.72; 28.32)
