A consumer group is investigating two brands of popcorn, R and S. The percent of kernels that will pop for the population of ker

nels in Brand R is 90% (PK - 0.90). The percent of kernels that will pop for the population of kernels in Brand S is 85% (ps = 0.85). Two independent random samples were taken from the population. The following table shows the sample statistics.
Number of Kernels in Samples Proportion from Sample that Popped
Brand R 100 0.92
Brands 200 0.89

Consider the sampling distribution for the difference in all samples of size 100 kernels from Brand Rand 200 kernels from Brand S (Brand R - Brand S). A consumer group claims that the difference in proportions has a mean of 0.03. Is this correct?

The consumer group's claim that the difference in proportions has a mean of 0.03 is incorrect

<h3>How to calculate the difference in proportion</h3>

The table entries are given as:

              Kernels    Proportion that Popped

Brand R   100          0.92

Brand S   200          0.89

The proportions of the samples that will pop for both brands are given as:

P_k = 0.90

P_s = 0.85

Calculate the difference of both proportions

d =P_k - P_s

So, we have:

d =0.90 - 0.85

d =0.05

This means that:

The difference in proportions has a mean of 0.05

Hence, the claim of the consumer group is incorrect

Answer:

Answer 3.59

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

This is called an extraneous information question. That means you have a piece of information you don't need. You'll get a lot of these in math courses yet to come. The piece of information you don't need is 79.95.

All you need are the other two numbers.

Givens

sale price= 62.79

Pocket money = 59.20

Formula

Amount needed = Sale price - Pocket money

Solution

Amount needed = 62.79 - 59.20

Amount needed = 3.59

Find the value of x.<br> B<br> X+5<br> 4<br> D<br> E<br> 2x<br> 3<br> А<br> x = [?]
Greeley [361]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ BDE and Δ BAC are similar triangles, thus the ratio of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{BD}{BA} = \frac{BE}{BC}, substitute values

\frac{x+5}{3x+5} = \frac{4}{7} ( cross- multiply )

4(3x + 5) = 7(x + 5) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides )

12x + 20 = 7x + 35 ( subtract 7x from both sides )

5x + 20 = 35 ( subtract 20 from both sides )

5x = 15 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 3
