Answer:

Cost price of each cup = 1500/6 = 250

Selling price of each cup = 1650/5 = 330

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price of cups = 1500

Profit = 10%

Selling price of cups = ?

Profit and loss percentage are calculated based on cost price and the formula to calculate profit is mentioned as under:

Profit percentage (%) = Profit x 100/Cost price

10 = Profit x 100/1500

⇒ Profit = 10 x 1500/100

⇒ Profit = 150

The formula for finding selling price is mentioned as under:

Selling Price = Profit + Cost Price.

Selling Price = 150 + 1500

⇒ Selling Price = 1650.

Since one of the six cups was broken that means the seller earned profit based on only 5 cups, it implies that selling price of each cup will be 1650/5 = 330.

Sven is trying to find the maximum amount of time he can spend practicing the five scales of piano music he is supposed to be wo

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

He should spend 3 minutes or less on each scale

Sven made a mistake in the symbol of inequality, placing lesser or equal instead of greater or equal

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

t ------> is the number of minutes he spends on each scale

Remember that the phrase "at least" is equal to "greater than or equal"

so

The inequality that represent this scenario is

$70-5t \geq 55$

solve for t

$-5t \geq 55-70$

$-5t \geq -15$

Multiply by -1 both sides

$5t \leq 15$

Divide by 5 both sides

$t \leq 3$

Sven is incorrect

He should spend 3 minutes or less on each scale

Sven made a mistake in the symbol of inequality, placing lesser or equal instead of greater or equal

A recent study found that 51 children who watched a commercial for Walker Crisps (potato chips) featuring a long-standing sports

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

1

The claim is that the mean amount of Walker Crisps eaten was significantly higher for the children who watched the sports celebrity- endorsed Walker Crisps commercial

2

The kind of test to use is a t -test because a t -test is used to check if there is a difference between means of a population

3

$t = 3.054$

4

The p-value is $p-value = P(Z > 3.054) = 0.0011291$

5

The conclusion is

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean amount of Walker Crisps eaten was significantly higher for the children who watched the sports celebrity- endorsed Walker Crisps commercial

The test statistics is

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The first sample size is $n_1 = 51$

The first sample mean is $\mu_1 = 36$

The second sample size is $n_2 = 41$

The second sample size is $\mu_2 = 25$

The first standard deviation is $\sigma _1 = 21.4 \ g$

The second standard deviation is $\sigma _2 = 12.8 \ g$

The level of significance is $\alpha = 0.05$

The null hypothesis is $H_o : \mu_1 = \mu_ 2$

The alternative hypothesis is $H_a : \mu_1 > \mu_2$

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

$t = \frac{\= x_1 - \= x_2}{ \sqrt{ \frac{s_1^2}{n_1} + \frac{s_2^2}{n_2} } }$

=> $t = \frac{ 36 - 25}{ \sqrt{ \frac{ 21.4^2}{51} + \frac{ 12.8^2}{41} } }$

=> $t = 3.054$

The p-value is mathematically represented as

$p-value = P(Z > 3.054)$

Generally from the z table

$P(Z > 3.054) = 0.0011291$

=> $p-value = P(Z > 3.054) = 0.0011291$

From the values obtained we see that $p-value < \alpha$ so the null hypothesis is rejected

Thus the conclusion is

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean amount of Walker Crisps eaten was significantly higher for the children who watched the sports celebrity- endorsed Walker Crisps commercial
