A midwestern music competition awarded 38 ribbons. The number of blue ribbons awarded was 1 less than the number of white ribbon
s. The number of red ribbons was 3 more than the number of white ribbons. How many of each kind of ribbon was awarded?
1 answer:
Starting from what I know (the difference between ribbons), I decided to go from the bottom and work my way up. I then noticed a pattern (each sum was three more of the previous one), and decided to keep my pattern of the three numbers but not have to do any major mental work and instead add three to the previous sum until I got to 38.

Answer:
The calculated |t| = |-26.517|=26.517 > 2.326 at 0.01 level of significance
Null hypothesis is rejected at 0.01 level of significance
There is difference between mean savings account balance in 2013 is different from the mean savings account balance in 2012
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Step(i)</em></u>:-
Mean of the Population = 1900
Given random sample size 'n' = 45
Mean of the sample x⁻ = 1000
Standard deviation of the sample = 225
<u><em>Null Hypothesis</em></u>:-
There is no difference between mean savings account balance in 2013 is different from the mean savings account balance in 2012.
<u><em>Alternative Hypothesis</em></u> :-
There is difference between mean savings account balance in 2013 is different from the mean savings account balance in 2012
<u><em>Step(ii</em></u>):-
Test statistic
t = -900 /33.54 = -26.517
|t| = |-26.517|=26.517
Degrees of freedom
γ = n-1 = 45-1 =44
t₍₀.₀₁ , ₄₄₎ = 2.326
The calculated |t| = |-26.517|=26.517 > 2.326 at 0.01 level of significance
Null hypothesis is rejected at 0.01 level of significance
There is difference between mean savings account balance in 2013 is different from the mean savings account balance in 2012
