Answer:

  • premium: 165 gallons
  • water: 120 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'a' represent the amount of 95% antifreeze in the mix. Then the amount of water is (285 -a). The mix has this amount of antifreeze in it:

  0.95a +0(285 -a) = 0.55(285)

  a = 0.55/0.95(285) = 165 . . . gallons of 95%

  285 -a = 285 -165 = 120 . . . . gallons of water

There are 120 gallons of water and 165 gallons of premium antifreeze in the mixture.

Brad wants to open a new savings account. He finds one that returns 3% on his investment each year. Use the variable to write a
Jet001 [13]
Return rate, r = 3% = 0.03
x = initial investment
b = final balance

After 1 year, the balance i
b = initial investment + interest
b = x + r*x = (1 + r)*x

Because r = 0.03,
b = 1.03x   (after 1 year)

The form of the alternative hypothesis can be: A. neither one nor two-tailed B. two-tailed C. one or two-tailed D. one-tailed
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

The answer is "Option C"

Step-by-step explanation:

  • It is the hypothesis which would be opposed to just the null hypothesis, that is used in its testing.
  • In this, we generally believed that the results derive from a particular effect with some superimposed variance of chance.
  • It is nothing but an option in contrast to the null and its original test starts by considering its two hypotheses, that's why the only option C is correct.
