Answer: 13 (and Sally will always be 3 years older than Jill)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let S and J stand for Sally and Jill's ages.  We are told:

  • (S-5) = (J-5)+3  [Sally is 3 years older than Jill was <u>5 years ago</u>] The 5 years ago is the reason for the (S-5) and (J-5) expressions.

If Jill is 10, how old is Sally?

 (S-5) = (J-5)+3

 (S-5) = (10-5)+3

 S-5 = 8

 S = 13

We actually don't really need an equation for solving this, other than the question asks us to write one.  It doesn't matter how many years later, since Sally is 3 years older, she will always remain 3 years older, if we ignore the likelihood that the statement doesn't hold true for the period between their actual birthdays.

A company sells cans of caviar that say they each contain 100g. of product with a standard deviation of 1g. A consumer advocacy
marin [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would set up the hypothesis test. This is a test of a single population mean since we are dealing with mean

For the null hypothesis,

µ = 100g

For the alternative hypothesis,

µ < 100g

Due to the <, It means that it is left tailed test.

Since the number of samples is large, the population standard deviation is given, the z test would be used. The formula is

z = (x - µ)/(σ/√n)

Where

x = sample mean

µ = population mean

σ = population standard deviation

n = number of samples

From the information given,

µ = 100g

x = 99 g

σ = 1g

n = 30

z = (99 - 100)/(1/√30) = - 5.48

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is less than 0.00001

P value < 0.00001
