A quality control engineer at a potato chip company tests the bag filling machine by weighing bags of potato chips. Not every ba

g contains exactly the same weight. But if more than 15% of bags are over-filled then they stop production to fix the machine. They define over-filled to be more than 1 ounce above the weight on the package. The engineer weighs 100 bags and finds that 21 of them are over-filled. He plans to test the hypotheses H 0: p = 0.15 versus H a : p > 0.15. What is the test statistic?

Answer:

z=\frac{0.21 -0.15}{\sqrt{\frac{0.15(1-0.15)}{100}}}=1.68  

Step-by-step explanation:

Information provided

n=100 represent the random sample taken

X=21 represent the number of bags overfilled

\hat p=\frac{21}{100}=0.21 estimated proportion of overfilled bags

p_o=0.15 is the value that we want to test

z would represent the statistic

Hypothesis

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test if the true proportion of overfilled bags is higher than 0.15.:  

Null hypothesis:p =0.7  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.15  

The statistic for this case is:

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

And replacing the info given we got:

z=\frac{0.21 -0.15}{\sqrt{\frac{0.15(1-0.15)}{100}}}=1.68

Sasha has 3.20 in U.S. coins. She has the same number of quarters and nickels. What is the greatest number of quarters she could
RSB [31]

Answer:

10 quarters = $2.50

10 nickels = $0.50

that leaves $0.20 for other coins (dimes / pennies)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, suppose she has only quarters and nickels and no other coins.  Then if C is the identical number of coins of each type, then 5C + 25C = 320, so 30C = 320 and 3C = 32, but there is no integer solution to this.  So she must have at least one other type of coin.

Assume she has only quarters, nickels, and dimes.  Then if D is the number of dimes, 5C +  25C + 10D = 320, which means 30C + 10D = 320, or 3C + D = 32.  The smallest D can be is 2, leaving 3C = 30 and thus C = 10.  So in this scenario she would have 10 quarters, 10 nickels, and two dimes to make $2.50 + $0.50 + $0.20 = $3.20.

This has to be the highest number, because if she had 11 quarters and 11 nickels, that alone would add up to 11(0.25) + 11(0.05) = $3.30, which would already be too much.

A recipe calls for 2 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of pepper, and 4 tsp of garlic powder. How much pepper and garlic powder would you need
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

amount of pepper required= 7.5 tsp

amount of garlic powder required = 30 tsp

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

amount of salt used for small batch of the recipe = 2 tsp

amount of pepper used for small batch of the recipe = 1 tsp

amount of garlic powder used for small batch of the recipe = 4 tsp

amount of salt used for the larger batch = 15 tsp

                                                             = 2 x 7.5 tsp

                                                             = amount of salt used for small batch the recipe x 7.5

So,

the amount of pepper needed for the larger batch= 7.5 x amount of pepper used for the small batch of recipe

                                                                      = 7.5 x 1 tsp

                                                                       = 7.5 tsp

the amount of garlic powder needed for the larger batch= 7.5 x amount of garlic powder used for the small batch of recipe

                                                                                          = 7.5 x 4 tsp

                                                                                          = 30 tsp
