Answer:

the machine is mixing the nuts are not  in the ratio 5:2:2:1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a machine is supposed to mix peanuts, hazelnuts, cashews, and pecans in the ratio 5:2:2:1.

A can containing 500 of these mixed nuts was found to have 269 peanuts, 112 hazelnuts, 74 cashews, and 45 pecans.

Create hypotheses as

H0: Mixture is as per the ratio 5:2:2:1

Ha: Mixture is not as per the ratio

(Two tailed chi square test)

Expected values as per ratio are calculated as 5/10 of 500 and so on

Exp        250      100    100       50        500

Obs       269      112       74       45         500

O-E          19        -12      -26       -5           0

Chi          1.343   1.286  9.135   0.556   12.318

square

df = 3

p value = 0.00637

Since p value < alpha, we reject H0

i.e. ratio is not as per the given

Gina has 5 2/6 feet of silver ribbon and 2 4/6 of gold ribbon. how much more silver ribbon does gina have than golden ribbon?
MrRissso [65]
To answer the question above, we are simply to subtract the length of the gold ribbon which is 2 4/6 ft from the length of the silver ribbon, 5 2/6 feet. Mathematically,
                                5 2/6 feet - 2 4/6 feet = 8/3 feet 
Therefore, Gina has 8/3 feet more of the silver ribbon than the golden ribbon.

Answer:

Sinister Stan needs 1/40 oz more slime for his evil plan.

Step-by-step explanation:

6 3/8-3 3/4-2 3/5 = 51/8-15/4-13/5 = 255/40-150/40-104/40 = 1/40

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a  researcher is using a repeated-measures design to test for mean differences among four treatment conditions.

The data for this study consist of 10 scores in each treatment.

We have to find the total subjects who participated in the study.

Each treatment has 10 scores

No of treatments = 4

Hence subjects participated in the study

= no of treatment x no of subjects

= 10*4=40

Compare a pay increase to the inflation rate. Assume that the inflation rate for the past year was 4 percent. You are worried th
Hoochie [10]

The New pay in current year is = $ 2225

The old pay in the last year was = $ 2176

percentage (%) increase formula = (new value- old value ) *100 / old value

which becomes,,

\frac{2225-2176}{2176} *100

which equals to 2.3% .

Hence, the average net pay per month increased is  2.3% .

Investigate the following harvesting model both qualitatively and analytically. If a constant number h of fish are harvested fro
zalisa [80]

Answer:

a. The population does not become extinct in finite time.

Step-by-step explanation:

The model for the population of the fishery is

dP/dt = P(a-bP)-h, P(0) = P_0

If we rearrange and replace the constants we have:

\frac{dP}{P(7-P)-49/4} =dt\\\\-4 (\frac{dP}{4(P-7)P+49}) =dt\\\\-4 \frac{dP}{(2P-7)^2} =dt\\\\-4 \int\frac{dP}{(2P-7)^2} =\int dt\\\\-4(-\frac{1}{2(2P-7)})=t+C\\\\\frac{2}{2P-7}=t+C\\\\ t=0 \,\,\, P(0)=P_0\\\\\frac{2}{2P_0-7}=0+C\\\\C=\frac{2}{2P_0-7}

Now we can calculate if the population become 0 in any finite time

\frac{2}{2P-7}=t+\frac{2}{2P_0-7}\\\\\frac{2}{2*0-7}=t+\frac{2}{2P_0-7}\\\\-\frac{2}{7}=t+\frac{2}{2P_0-7}\\\\

To be a finite time, t>0

t=-\frac{2}{7}-\frac{2}{2P_0-7}=0\\\\-\frac{2}{2P_0-7}=\frac{2}{7}\\\\7-2P_0=7\\\\P_0=0

We can conclude that the only finite time in which P=0 is when the initial population is 0.

Because P0 is a positive constant, we can say that the population does not become extint in finite time.
