If you divide 380 by 20, you get 19. To check this, multiply 20 x 19 to see 380. Hope this helps :D

Answer:

It take 11 days to read the first part of the book.

Step-by-step explanation:

As I can see the book has two parts, the total of the book is 380 pages and the second part is 160, so the pages of the first part of the book will be:

$1part=380-160=220$

From this we can see, that the first part will take:

$\frac{220}{20}=11days$

The first part will take 11 days.

Now from the equation proposed in the argument, we can see that we can calculate also the days that the first part took:

$380-20d=160$

Clearing it:

$380-160=20d\\d=\frac{380-160}{20}\\ d=\frac{220}{20}\\ d=11\\$

It take 11 days to read the first part of the book.

A hypothesis regarding the weight of newborn infants at a community hospital is that the mean is 6.6 pounds. A sample of seven i

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

$t=\frac{7.557-6.6}{\frac{1.177}{\sqrt{7}}}=2.151$

$p_v =2*P(t_{6}>2.151)=0.075$

If we compare the p value and a significance level assumed $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, we don't have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean is different from 6.6 pounds.

Based on this the best conclusion is:

a. Fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

Data: 9.0, 7.3, 6.0, 8.8, 6.8, 8.4, 6.6

We can calculate the sample mean and standard deviation with these formulas:

$\bar X =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

$s =\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}$

The results obtained are given below:

$\bar X=7.557$ represent the sample mean

$s=1.177$ represent the standard deviation for the sample

$n=7$ sample size

$\mu_o =6.6$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

State the null and alternative hypotheses to be tested

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to determine if the mean is 6.6, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu = 6.6$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 6.6$

Compute the test statistic

We don't know the population deviation, so for this case is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$t=\frac{7.557-6.6}{\frac{1.177}{\sqrt{7}}}=2.151$

Now we need to find the degrees of freedom for the t distirbution given by:

$df=n-1=7-1=6$

What do you conclude?

a. Use the critical value approach.

Assuming 95% of confidence and $\alpha=0.05$ we can use the t distribution with 6 degrees of freedom in order to calculate a critical value that accumulates 0.025 of the area on the tails of the distribution. We can use excel and the code to do this is given by: "=T.INV(1-0.025,6)". And we got the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}=2.446$ .

Since our calculates value < critical value. We fail to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say that at 5% of significance, we don't have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean is different from 6.6 pounds.

b. Use the p-value approach

Since is a two tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(t_{6}>2.151)=0.075$

If we compare the p value and a significance level assumed $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, we don't have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean is different from 6.6 pounds.

Based on this the best conclusion is:

a. Fail to reject the null hypothesis.

How is the process of dividing integers similar to the process of multiplying integers

GaryK [48]

<span>When you multiply two integers with different signs, the result is always negative. Just multiply the absolute values and make the answer negative. When you divide two integers with the same sign, the result is always positive.</span>

A store sells a 33-pound bag of oranges for \$ 3.60$3.60 and a 55-pound bag of oranges for \$ 5.25$5.25. What is the difference

katrin [286]

Answer:

0.01364

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

A store sells a 33-pound bag of oranges for $3.60 and a 55-pound bag of oranges for $5.25.

Price per pound of 33 pound bag is 3.60/33 = 0.10909 price per pound

Price per pound of 55 pound bag of oranges is 5.25/55 = 0.09545 price per pound

Difference between price per pound for the 33-pound bag of oranges and the price per pound for the 55-pound bag of oranges is :

D = 0.10909 - 0.09545

D = 0.01364

Therefore, this is the required solution.
