Answer:

a) 18 button a buttons are required to fill the bag.

b) 12 button b buttons are required to fill the bag.

c) There are 11 buttons of each type in the box containing 220 g of buttons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete Question

Two button types, button a weighing 8 grams and button b weighing 12 grams. The buttons are sold in bags. Each bag contains 144 grams of buttons.

a) How many of button a are needed to fill one bag?

b) How many of button b are needed to fill one bag?

c) A box of buttons contains the same number of each type of button it contains 220g of buttons. How many of each type of button are in the box.

Solution

a) A bag contains 144 grams of buttons.

Button a weighs 8 grams per button.

Total number of button a buttons required to fill up the bag = (144/8) = 18 button a buttons.

b) A bag contains 144 grams of buttons.

Button b weighs 12 grams per button.

Total number of button b buttons required to fill up the bag = (144/12) = 12 button a buttons.

c) A box of buttons weighing 220 g contains the same number of each type of button.

Let this number be n.

This means the Total weight of button a buttons in this box = 8n

total weight of button b buttons in this box = 12n

Sum total of the weight of the buttons = 8n + 12n = 20n

20n = 220

n = (220/20) = 11.

This means there are 11 buttons of each type in the box containing 220 g of buttons.

The height of statue is 12.2 inches in Troy's drawing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Actual height of statue = 305 feet

Scale used by Troy;

25 feet = 1 inch

1 feet = $\frac{1}{25}\ inches$

305 feet = $\frac{1}{25}*305 \ inches$

305 feet = $\frac{305}{25}\ inches\\$

305 feet = 12.2 inches

The height of statue is 12.2 inches in Troy's drawing.

A sand dune stands 5 feet above sea level. The hill is eroding at a rate of 1 foot per 20 years. Let y represent the height of t

Andrews [41]

The situation will be represented by linear equation, this is given by:
y=ax+b
where:
a=slope=rate
b=y-intercept
from our situation:

a=-1/20
b=5 ft
thus the equation modeling the situation will be:
y=-1/20x+5

Answer: y=-1/20x+5

A statistics practitioner in a large university is investigating the factors that affect salary of professors. He wondered if ev

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Given the linear regression of Y: "Annual salary" as a function of X: "Mean score on teaching evaluation" of a population of university professors. It is desired to study whether student evaluations are related to salaries.

The population equation line is

E(Y)= β₀ + β₁X

Using the information of a n= 100 sample, the following data was calculated:

R²= 0.23

Coefficient Standard Error

Intercept 25675.5 11393

x 5321 2119

The estimated equation is

^Y= 25675.5 + 5321X

Now if the interest is to test if the teaching evaluation affects the proffesor's annual salary, the hypotheses are:

H₀: β = 0

H₁: β ≠ 0

There are two statistic you can use to make this test, a Student's t or an ANOVA F.

Since you have information about the estimation of β you can calculate the two tailed t test using the formula:

$t= \frac{b - \beta }{\frac{Sb}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ $t_{n-2}$

$t= \frac{ 5321 - 0 }{\frac{2119}{\sqrt{100} } }$ = 25.1109

The p-value is two-tailed, and is the probability of getting a value as extreme as the calculated $t_{H_0}$ under the distribution $t_{98}$

p-value < 0.00001

I hope it helps!
