From home, Mary’s work is two thirds along the way to training. Training is 2.5km from work. Mary normally goes to work, then tr

aining and then home again. However, today she forgot her shoes. How far will Mary travel in total today if she has to go home before training to get her shoes?

First thing to do is to illustrate the problem, Since it was mentioned that work was along the way to training, the order is shown in the picture. Mary's home and workplace are nearer compared to her training center. It is also mentioned that the distance between work and home, denoted as x, is 2/3 of the total distance from home to training. The total distance is (x + 2.5). Thus,

x = 2/3(x+2.5)
x = 2/3 x + 5/3
1/3 x = 5/3
x = 5 km

Thus, the distance from home to work is 5 km. This means that Mary has to walk this distance twice to return home to get her shoes. Then, she will travel again the total distance of 5+2.5 = 7.5 km to get to her training center. So,

Total distance = 2(5km) + 7.5 km
Total distance = 17.5 km

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

405

Step-by-step explanation:

To find sample size, use the following equation, where n = sample size, za/2 = the critical value, p = probability of success, q = probability of failure, and E = margin of error.

n=\frac{(z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} })^{2} *p*q  }{E^2}

The values that are given are p = 0.84 and E = 0.03.

You can solve for the critical value which is equal to the z-score of  (1 - confidence level)/2.  Use the calculator function of invNorm to find the z-score.  The value will given with a negative sign, but you can ignore that.

(1 - 0.9) = 0.1/2 = 0.05

invNorm(0.05, 0, 1) = 1.645

You can also solve for q which is 1 - p.  For this problem q = 1 - 0.84 = 0.16

Plug the values into the equation and solve for n.

n =\frac{(1.645)^2*0.84*0.16}{(0.03)^2}\\n= 404.0997333

Round up to the next number, giving you 405.

Volgvan

Answer: We reject the null hypothesis, and we use Normal distribution for the test.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

We claim that

Null hypothesis : H_0:\mu\geq 50000

Alternate hypothesis : H_1:\mu

There  is 5% level of significance.

\bar{X}=46800\\\\\sigma=9800\\\\n=29

So, the test statistic would be

z=\dfrac{\bar{X}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}\\\\z=\dfrac{46800-50000}{\dfrac{9800}{\sqrt{29}}}\\\\z=-1.75

Since alternate hypothesis is left tailed test.

So, p-value = P(z≤-2.31)=0.0401

And the P-value =0.0401 is less than the given level of significance i.e. 5% 0.05.

So, we reject the null hypothesis, and we use Normal distribution for the test.

Find the interest for each loan. $252 at 8% for 2 years: ________ $400 at 2% for 6 months:________ $5,000 at 3.5% for 1 year:___
prisoha [69]
Hi there! I can help you! Okay. So to find the amount of interest, we have to do the formula prt. That means multiply the principal, which is the initial amount of money, the rate, which is the interest rate, and the amount of time, which is usually in years. With that being said, here is how the answers turn out.

$252, 8% for 2 years: $40.32
$400, 2% for 6 months: $4
$5,000, 3.5% for 1 year: $175
$6,240, 10% for 9 months: $468

For the months, we just convert those numbers into decimal. 6 months is 1/2 a year, so it would be 0.5 and 9 months is 3/4 of a year, so that decimal would be 0.75. All you have to do is multiply the amount of money by percentage (you can do it by decimal form) by amount of time, and you’ll be good.
