The weight of a person on or above the surface of the earth varies inversely as the square of the distance the person is from th

e center of the earth. A particular person weighs 179 pounds on the surface of the earth and the radius of the earth is 3900 miles. Determine the equation that relates weight, W, to the distance from the center of the earth, d, for this person.

Jeremy opens a chocolate shop in the city. He pays $1,500 a month for rent and maintenance of the shop. The price of raw materia
KATRIN_1 [288]
Amount of money paid by Jeremy as rent and maintenance of shop per month = $1500
Cost of raw materials and manufacturing per month = $6000
Total cost that Jeremy has to spend per month = (1500 + 6000) dollars
                                                                            = 7500 dollars
Number of individual chocolates sold = 2400
Number of chocolates sold in boxes = 50 boxes
                                                           = (12 * 50) chocolates
                                                           = 600 chocolates
Then
Total number of chocolates sold by Jeremy = 2400 + 600
                                                                       = 3000
Now
Price of each chocolate = 7500/3000 dollars
                                       = 75/30 dollars
                                       = 5/2 dollars
                                       = 2.5 dollars
Price of 600 chocolates = 600 * (5/2) dollars
                                       = 300 * 5 dollars
                                       = 1500 dollars
Price of 12 chocolates = (1500/600) * 12
                                     = 15 * 2
                                     = 30 dollars
Then
We can say that each box of chocolate should be sold at $30. All the loose chocolates should be sold at $2.5 each.

Jerry's Fish Shack claims that 16% of its employees are late to work once a week. The manager surveyed 25 employees and found th
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion of employess are late to work is 0.16, so we need to apply a one sample proportion test:  

Null hypothesis:p=0.16  

Alternative hypothesis:p \neq 0.16  

z=\frac{0.20 -0.16}{\sqrt{\frac{0.16(1-0.16)}{25}}}=0.546  

p_v =2*P(z>0.546)=0.585  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=25 represent the random sample taken

\hat p=0.2 estimated proportion  

p_o=0.16 is the value that we want to test

\alpha represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion of employess are late to work is 0.16, so we need to apply a one sample proportion test:  

Null hypothesis:p=0.16  

Alternative hypothesis:p \neq 0.16  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:  

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion \hat p is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o.

Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.20 -0.16}{\sqrt{\frac{0.16(1-0.16)}{25}}}=0.546  

Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(z>0.546)=0.585

Pedro has created the function f(x)= 4x-3/2 to represent the number of assingments he has completed where x represents the numbe
Law Incorporation [45]
The given function is
f(x) = 4x - 3/2
where
f(x) = number of assignments completed
x =  number of weeks required to complete the assignments

We want to find f⁻¹ (30) as an estimate of the number of weeks required to complete 30 assignments.
The procedure is as follows:

1. Set y = f(x)
   y = 4x - 3/2

2. Exchange x and y
   x = 4y - 3/2

3. Solve for y
   4y = x + 3/2
   y = (x +3/2)/4

4. Set y equal to f⁻¹ (x)
  f⁻¹ (x) = (x + 3/2)/4

5. Find f⁻¹ (30)
  f⁻¹ (30) = (30 + 3/2)/4 = 63/8 = 8 (approxmately)

Answer:
Pedro needs about 8 weeks to complete 30 assignments.
