<h3>Answer: B) 2</h3>

=============================================================

Explanation:

List out the multiples of each number until we find the LCM

  • multiples of 12 are: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, ...
  • multiples of 14 are: 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84, 98, ...
  • multiples of 21 are: 21, 42, 63, 84, 105, ...

We see that 84 shows up in the list and it is the smallest such common item. The LCM of the numbers {12,14,21} is 84.

-------------

Let's say there are 84 items to be moved in the warehouse.

  • If person A works alone, then their unit rate is 84/12 = 7 items per hour
  • If person B works alone, then their unit rate is 84/14 = 6 items per hour
  • If person C works alone, then their unit rate is 84/21 = 4 items per hour

We divide 84 over the respective time values given by your teacher, to find each unit rate.

Let x be the the length of time (in hours) that person A worked. They work alongside persons B and C to get a combined unit rate of 7+6+4 = 17 items per hour. This assumes no worker gets in the way of any others. They work the most efficiently together.

After x hours, they manage to move 17x items in the warehouse.

After x hours are up, there are 84-17x items left to move. Person A leaves B and C to finish up, so B and C's combined rate is 6+4 = 10 items per hour. These two remaining people move the 84-17x items at a rate of 10 items per hour. The time span they have left is 7-x hours.

This means we can form the following equation

(84-17x)/(10) = 7-x

Divide the number of items over the unit rate to find the time duration in hours.

-------------

Solve for x

(84-17x)/(10) = 7-x

84-17x = 10(7-x)

84-17x = 70-10x

84-70 = -10x+17x

14 = 7x

7x = 14

x = 14/7

x = 2

Person A works for 2 hours

-------------

If person A worked for 2 hours, then persons A,B,C moved 17*2 = 34 items. This leaves 84-34 = 50 items left. Person A takes off to leave persons B and C to handle the rest of the job. These two remaining people have a combined rate of 10 items per hour. So they take 50/10 = 5 hours when person A leaves. That gives the 2+5 = 7 hours total. This confirms the correct answer.

Using traditional methods, it takes 10.1 hours to receive a basic driving license. A new license training method using Computer
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the technique performs differently than the traditional method, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu =10.1  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 10.1

t=\frac{10.5-10.1}{\frac{1.4}{\sqrt{12}}}=0.990    

p_v =2*P(t_{(11)}>0.990)=0.343    

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL  reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the technique performs differently than the traditional method at 10% of signficance.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=10.5 represent the sample mean

s=1.4 represent the sample standard deviation

n=12 sample size  

\mu_o =10.1 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.1 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the technique performs differently than the traditional method, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu =10.1  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 10.1  

If we analyze the size for the sample is < 30 and we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

t=\frac{10.5-10.1}{\frac{1.4}{\sqrt{12}}}=0.990    

P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:  

df=n-1=12-1=11  

Since is a two sided test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(t_{(11)}>0.990)=0.343  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL  reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the technique performs differently than the traditional method at 10% of signficance.
