To solve this problem, all we have to do is to thoroughly analyze the situation step by step.

First let us work on the remaining 10 gallons of water in the tank. We are given that 2 / 3 of the water initially in the tank leaked out. Therefore this means that we are left with 1 / 3 the original amount of water which is 10 gallons, hence:

(1 / 3) Vi = 10 gallons

where Vi is the initial volume of water inside the tank, calculating for Vi:

Vi = 3 (10 gallons)

Vi = 30 gallons

 

We are also given that this initial volume of water is just 3 / 4 of the total capacity of the tank, therefore:

(3 / 4) Vc = Vi

where Vc is the volume capacity of the tank, calculating for Vc:

Vc = 4 Vi / 3

Vc = 4 (30 gallons) / 3

Vc = 40 gallons

 

Answer:

<span>Capacity of the fish tank is 40 gallons</span>

otez555 [7]

Answer: (0.132132, 0.274368)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A simple random sample of 123 people living in Gastown and finds that 25 have an annual income that is below the poverty line.

i.e. n= 123

\hat{p}=\dfrac{25}{123}\approx0.203252

Critical value for 95% confidence interval : z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

Confidence interval for population :

\hat{p}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}

i.e. 0.203252\pm (1.96)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.203252(1-0.203252)}{123}}

0.203252\pm (1.96)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.203252(1-0.203252)}{123}}\\\\\0.203252\pm0.071118\\\\=(0.20325-0.071118,\ 0.203252+0.071118)\\\\=(0.132132,\ 0.274368)

Hence, the 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of Gastown residents living below the poverty line : (0.132132, 0.274368)

In a science experiment, Shelly has to weigh a compound in grams. The balance in her school measures in milligrams (mg). Shelly
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
We know, 1 g = 1000 mg
so, 1 mg = 1/1000 g
then, 8,450 mg = 1/1000 * 8,450 = 8.450 g

In short, Your Answer would be: 8.450 Grams

Hope this helps!

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

No, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that true average task time with armor is less than 2 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.

The claim is that true average task time with armor is less than 2 seconds.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu=2\\\\H_a:\mu< 2

The significance level is 0.01.

The sample has a size n=52.

The sample mean is M=1.95.

As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=0.2.

The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:

s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{0.2}{\sqrt{52}}=0.028

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{1.95-2}{0.028}=\dfrac{-0.05}{0.028}=-1.803

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

df=n-1=52-1=51

This test is a left-tailed test, with 51 degrees of freedom and t=-1.803, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

P-value=P(t

As the P-value (0.039) is bigger than the significance level (0.01), the effect is not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that true average task time with armor is less than 2 seconds.
