Answer:

6 sacks

Step-by-step explanation:

Buying Price = $1200

Selling Price = $1500

Total profit = Selling price - Buying Price

= $1500 - $1200

= $300

Given that the profit on each sack of tea is $50

Number of Sacks of Tea = Total Profit ÷ profit per sack

= $300 ÷ 50

= 6 sacks

Answer:

6 sacks of tea

Step-by-step explanation:

$1500 - $1200 = $300

He makes $300 profit total. Now, divide by $50 because it is $50 per sack to see how many sacks he had.

$300 / $50 = 6 sacks of tea

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

0.0359

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided:

mean values of three independent times are 15, 30, and 20 minutes

the standard deviations are 2, 1, and 1.6 minutes

Now,

New Mean = 15 + 30 + 25 = 65

Variance = ( standard deviation )²

Variance = 2² + 1² + 1.6² = 7.56

therefore,

Standard deviation = √variance

Standard deviation = 2.75

Thus,

Z-value = $\frac{\textup{60 - 65}}{\textup{2.75}}$

Z-value = - 1.81

from the Z-table

the Probability of Z ≤ -1.81 = 0.0359

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding fuel efficiencies of manufacturer A's car and manufacturer B's car form matched pairs.

The data for the test are the differences between the efficiencies of manufacturer A's car and manufacturer B's car

μd = fuel efficiency of manufacturer A's car minus the fuel efficiency of manufacturer B's car.

A B diff

25 27 - 2

Sample mean, xd

= (4 + 5 - 1 + 2 + 1 + 4 + 3 - 2)/8 = 2

xd = 2

Standard deviation = √(summation(x - mean)²/n

n = 8

Summation(x - mean)² = (4 - 2)^2 + (5 - 2)^2 + (- 1 - 2)^2 + (2 - 2)^2 + (1 - 2)^2 + (4 - 2)^2 + (3 - 2)^2 + (- 2 - 2)^2 = 44

Standard deviation = √(44/8

sd = 2.35

For the null hypothesis

H0: μd = 0

For the alternative hypothesis

H1: μd ≠ 0

This is a two tailed test and the distribution is a students t. Therefore, degree of freedom, df = n - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7

2) The formula for determining the test statistic is

t = (xd - μd)/(sd/√n)

t = (2 - 0)/(2.35/√8)

t = 2.41

We would determine the probability value by using the t test calculator.

p = 0.047

Since alpha, 0.1 > the p value 0.047, then we would reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, at 1% significance level, we can conclude that there is a significant difference in the mean MPG (miles per gallon) when testing for the fuel efficiency of these two brands of automobiles.
