The number of "destination weddings" has skyrocketed in recent years. For example, many couples are opting to have their wedding

Andru [333]

Answer:

There is no sufficient evidence to support the claim that wedding cost is less than $30000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Values (x) ∑(Xi-X)^2

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

29.1 0.1702

28.5 1.0252

28.8 0.5077

29.4 0.0127

29.8 0.0827

30.1 0.3452

30.6 1.1827

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

236.1 3.4088

Mean = 236.1 / 8 = 29.51

$S_{x}=\sqrt{3.4088/(8-1)}=0.6978$

Statement of the null hypothesis:

H0: u ≥ 30 the mean wedding cost is not less than $30,000

H1: u < 30 the mean wedding cost is less than $30,000

Test Statistic:

$t=\frac{X-u}{S/\sqrt{n}}=\frac{29.51-30}{0.6978/\sqrt{8}}= \frac{-0.49}{0.2467}=-1.9861$

Test criteria:

SIgnificance level = 0.05

Degrees of freedom = df = n - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7

Reject null hypothesis (H0) if

$t$

Finding in the t distribution table α=0.05 with df=7, we have

$t_{0.05,7}=2.365$

$t>-t_{0.05,7}$ = -1.9861 > -2.365

Result: Fail to reject null hypothesis

Conclusion: Do no reject the null hypothesis

u ≥ 30 the mean wedding cost is not less than $30,000

There is no sufficient evidence to support the claim that wedding cost is less than $30000.

Hope this helps!

An expression is given: 2 open parentheses square root of k minus 1 close parenthesis plus square root of 8. If on adding negati

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Possible value of k is √2

Step-by-step explanation:

The information given are;

The expression, 2·(√k - 1) + √8 to which may be added -6·√2 to obtain a rational number, we therefore have;

2·(√k - 1) + √8 - 6·√2 = R

Therefore, simplifying gives;

2·√k - 2 + 2·√2 - 6·√2 = 2·√k - 2 - 4·√2 = R

2·√k - 2 - 4·√2 + 2= R + 2 = R

2·√k - 2+ 2 - 4·√2 = R

2·√k + 0 - 4·√2 = 2·√k - 4·√2 = 2·(√k - 2·√2) = R

(√k - 2·√2) = R/2 = R

Therefore, √2 is a factor of √k such that √k - 2·√2 = R

Which gives k = x·√2, where x = a rational number

When x = 1, k = √2.

Therefore, a possible value of k is √2

Two wires with lengths of 448 cm and 616 cm are to be cut into pieces of all the same length without a remainder. Find the great

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

56 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We need ro find the GCD of these numbers. In finding the GCD, we list the multiples of the number, beginning with the smallest number. Here, the

The factors of 616=2*2*2*7*11

The factors of 448 =2*2*2*2*2*2*7

Common factors in both are 2*2*2*7=56

Therefore, the greatest possible length is 56 cm

An animal park has lions, tigers and zebras. 20% of the animals are lions and half of the animals are zebras. If there are 120 a

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

$36\ tigers$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of lions

y ----> the number f tigers

z ----> the number of zebras

we know that

$x+y+z=120$ ----> equation A

Remember that

$20\%=20/100=0.20$

$50\%=50/100=0.50$

To find out the number of lions, multiply the total animals by the percentage of lions

$x=0.20(120)=24\ lions$

To find out the number of zebras, multiply the total animals by the percentage of zebras

$z=0.50(120)=60\ zebras$

Substitute the value of x and the value of z in equation A and solve for y

$24+y+60=120$

$y+84=120$

$y=36\ tigers$
