If Ian uses 1/20 of the ketchup 4 times, this is equal to 4/20, or $\frac{4}{20}$ .

$\frac{4}{20}$ can be simplified to $\frac{1}{5}$ , which means we need to work out $\frac{1}{5}$ of 12.2

$\frac{1}{5}$ is equivalent to 20%, which as a decimal is 0.2

0.2 x 12.2 = 2.44 - however, this is how much he has used, and we need to figure out how much is left.

12.2 - 2.44 = 9.76

So, Ian has 9.76 oz remaining :)

Statistics In the manual “How to Have a Number One the Easy Way,” it is stated that a song “must be no longer than three minutes

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

We conclude that the sample is from a population of songs with a mean greater than 210 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a simple random sample of 40 current hit songs results in a mean length of 252.5 seconds.

Assume that the standard deviation of song lengths is 54.5 sec.

Let $\mu$ = <u><em>population mean length of the songs</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $\mu$ $\leq$ 210 seconds {means that the sample is from a population of songs with a mean smaller than or equal to 210 seconds}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : $\mu$ > 210 seconds {means that the sample is from a population of songs with a mean greater than 210 seconds}

The test statistics that will be used here is <u>One-sample z-test statistics </u>because we know about population standard deviation;

T.S. = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\bar X$ = sample mean length of songs = 252.5 seconds

$\sigma$ = population standard deviation = 54.5 seconds

n = sample of current hit songs = 40

So, <u><em>the test statistics</em></u> = $\frac{252.5-210}{\frac{54.5}{\sqrt{40} } }$

= 4.932

The value of z-test statistics is 4.932.

Now, at 0.05 level of significance, the z table gives a critical value of 1.645 for the right-tailed test.

Since the value of our test statistics is more than the critical value of z as 4.932 > 1.645, so <u><em>we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis</em></u> as it will fall in the rejection region.

Therefore, we conclude that the sample is from a population of songs with a mean greater than 210 seconds.

The sanitation department calculated that last year each city resident produced approximately 1.643 × 103 pounds of garbage. The

bija089 [108]

Given that, according to sanitation departments report; the samount of garbage produced by 1 resident $= 1.643 \times 10^3$ pound.

Given that population of the city $= 2.61 \times 10^5$

Now we have to find how much garbage did the city sanitation department collect last year.

To find that we just need to multiply the garbage produced by 1 resident with the population of the city.

Total garbage collected $= (2.61 \times 10^5 ) * (1.643 \times 10^3 )$ pounds

Total garbage collected $= (2.61*1.643) \times 10^{5+3}$ pounds

Total garbage collected $= 4.28823 \times 10^8$ pounds

Hence final answer is $4.28823 \times 10^8$ pounds.

No, Aileen's mom is incorrect. Aileen can read 30 pages in the same time period as her friend reads 20 pages.

To get this answer, you multiply 20 by 1.5

20 x 1.5 = 30

For each of the following, decide if the given series is a geometric series. A. 5+25x+125x2+625x3+3125x4+⋯ : Is this a geometric

Westkost [7]

Answer:

A. Yes.

B. Yes.

C. No.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Yes. The sum of the series, $5 + 25x + 125x^{2} + 625x^{3} + 3125x^{4} + ...........$ is the sum of a geometric series.

The first term of the series $a_n$ = 5.

The common ration or the ratio between successive terms (r) = $\frac{25x}{5} = 5x$ (Answer)

B. Yes. The sum of the series, $5x^{7} + 5x^{8} + 5x^{9} + 5x^{10} + ............$ is also the sum of a geometric series.

The first term of the series $a_n = 5x^{7}$ .

The common ration or the ratio between successive terms (r) = $\frac{5x^{8} }{5x^{7} } = x$ (Answer)

C. No. The sum of the series, $5 + 5x + 5x^{2} + 5x^{4} + 5x^{8} + ...........$ is not the sum of a geometric series.

The first term of the series $a_n = 5$ .
