We can list the amount of sugar and flour required into ratios then solve the questions by fractions. 

From the given information, the ratio of the amount of sugar to the amount of flour needed in the recipe should be 13:18.
This ratio can also be written as 13/18.

In the question, the ratio should not be changed, just that the amount of each turns different. 

So, let y be the amount of flour needed. 
13/18 = 10/y
Use cross method to solve this,
18 x 10 = 13y
180 = 13y
y = 180/13
y = <span>13.8461538462

the answer should be D, 14.

In a certain month, Oscar sells 6 cars more than Jackie. If together they sell 30 cars, how many cars did Jackie sell?
diamong [38]

Answer:

Jackie sold 12 cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we call the number of cars Oscar sold O, and the number of cars Jackie sold J, we can say the following:

O = J + 6

As Oscar sold 6 cars more than Jackie.

Together, they sold 30 cars.

O + J = 30

Since we know that:

O = J + 6

... we can put this into our previous equation.

O + J = 30

(J + 6) + J = 30

J + J + 6 = 30

2 * J + 6 = 30

Subtract 6 from both sides:

2 * J = 24

Divide both sides by 2:

J = 24 / 2

J = 12

Jackie sold 12 cars.

The number of calls coming per minute into a hotel reservation center is Poisson random variable with mean 3.
natima [27]

Answer:

a) 0.05

b) 0.9826

c) 0.000039308

Step-by-step explanation:

a) P_X(0) = \frac{e^{-3}3^0}{0!} = e^{-3} =  0.05

b) For two minutes, the mean is doubled, hence it is 6. In order to calculate the probability of al least two calls arriving, we calculate first the probability of the complementary event: At most 1 call will arrive. For that probability, we need to sum the probabilities of 0 and 1.

P_X(0) = e^{-6}

P_X(1) = \frac{e^{-6}*6^1}{1!} = 6*e^{-6}

Hence,

P(X \geq 2) = 1-P(X < 2) = 1- 7*e^{-6} = 0.9826

c) For five minutes the mean is 15. We need to sum the probabilities of 0, 1 and 2.

P_X(0) = e^{-15}

P_X(1) = e^{15}*15

P_X(2) = \frac{e^{-15}*15^2}{2!} = 112.5*e^{-15}

As a result,

P(X \leq 2) = e^{-15}(1+15+112.5) = 0.000039308

A manufacturing company produces valves in various sizes and shapes. One particular valve plate is supposed to have a tensile st
maxonik [38]

Answer:

z=\frac{5.0611-5}{\frac{0.2803}{\sqrt{42}}}=1.413    

p_v =2*P(z>1.413)=0.158  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the average tensile strength is different from 5lbs/mm at 10% of signficance

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=5.0611 represent the sample mean

\sigma=0.2803 represent the population standard deviation for the sample  

n=42 sample size  

\mu_o =5 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.1 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.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is different from 5, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu = 5  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 5  

If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 but and we know the population deviation so is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

z-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".  

Calculate the statistic

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

z=\frac{5.0611-5}{\frac{0.2803}{\sqrt{42}}}=1.413    

P-value

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

p_v =2*P(z>1.413)=0.158  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the average tensile strength is different from 5lbs/mm at 10% of signficance

PLS HALP ME!!!!!! You have $6.50 to make copies. Each copy costs $0.45. Write and solve an inequality that represents the number
serious [3.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Variable x = number of copies

6.50 <= 0.45x

Divide both sides by 0.45

6.50 ÷ 0.45 <= 0.45x ÷ 0.45

14.4444.... <= x

No more than 14 copies

6.50 <= 0.45x

6.50 <= 0.45(14.444)
