Wallet = belt + 31
jacket = 3 · belt

176 = belt + wallet + jacket

176 = belt + (belt + 31) + (3 · belt)
176 = (2 · belt) + 31 + (3 · belt)
176 = (5 · belt) + 31
5 ·belt = 145
belt = 29

Answer:  The required cost of the wallet is $60.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Mr Wong spent a total of $176 on a jacket a belt and a wallet.

The wallet cost $31 more than a belt and the jacket cost 3 times as much as the belt.

We are to find the cost of the wallet.

Let x, y and z represents the cost of the jacket, the belt and the wallet respectively.

Then, according to the given information, we have

x+y+z=176~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\z=y+37~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)\\\\x=3y~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

Substituting the values of z and x from equations (ii) and (iii) in equation (i), we get

3y+y+y+31=176\\\\\Rightarrow 5y=176-31\\\\\Rightarrow 5y=145\\\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{145}{5}\\\\\Rightarrow y=29.

From equation (ii), we get

z=31+29=60.

Thus, the required cost of the wallet is $60.

Find the size of each of two samples (assume that they are of equal size) needed to estimate the difference between the proporti
lesya [120]

Answer:

a) the sample size (n) = 156.25≅ 156

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step1 </u>:-

Given the two sample sizes are equal so n_{1} =n_{2} = n

Given the standard error (S.E) = 0.04

The standard error of the proportion of the given  sample size

S.E = \sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} }

Step 2:-

here we assume that the proportion of boys and girls are equally likely

p= 1/2 and q= 1/2

S.E = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} } \leq \frac{\frac{1}{2} }{\sqrt{n} }

\sqrt{n} = \frac{\frac{1}{2} }{S.E}

squaring on both sides, we get

n = \frac{1}{(2X0.04)^{2} }

on simplification, we get

n= 156.25 ≅ 156

sample size (n) = 156

<u>verification</u>:-

S.E = \sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} }= \sqrt{\frac{1}{4X156} } =\sqrt{0.0016}  

Standard error = 0.04

An insurance company reported that, on average, claims for a certain medical procedure are $942. An independent organization con
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

An insurance company reported that, on average claims for a certain medical procedure are $942. an independent organization constructed a 95% confidence interval of ($930, $950) for the average amount claimed for the particular medical procedure. what conclusion best evaluates the truthfulness of the number reported by the insurance company?

a) with 95% certainty, the average claim for this medical procedure is $942.

b) with 95% certainty, the average claim for this medical procedure is not $942.

c) the confidence interval is consistent with an average claim of $942 for this medical procedure

Solution:

Confidence interval is used to express how confident we are that the population parameter that we are looking for is contained in a range of given values. Looking at the given confident interval, the lower limit is $930 and the upper limit is $950. We can see that the population mean, $942 lies within these values. The correct option would be

c) the confidence interval is consistent with an average claim of $942 for this medical procedure

The function H(t) = −16t2 + 48t + 12 shows the height H(t), in feet, of a cannon ball after t seconds. A second cannon ball move
Thepotemich [5.8K]
Part A:
To determine the values of the times to which the height of the two cannon balls are the same, we equate the given functions.
    H(t) = g(t)
Substitute the expressions for each.
  -16t² + 48t + 12 = 10 + 15.2t

Transpose all the terms to the left-hand side of the equation.
 -16t² + (48 - 15.2)t + (12 - 10) = 0

Simplifying,
   -16t² + 32.8t + 2 = 0

The values of t from the equation are 2.11 seconds and -0.059 seconds

Part B:
In the context of the problem, only 2.11 seconds is acceptable. This is because the second value of t which is equal to -0.059 seconds is not possible since there is no negative value for time.
