Answer: 2.5 pounds of beef  and 3.25 pounds of pork

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, the answer is incomplete because is lacking how much more pork she bought. <em>She bought 0.75 pounds more pork than beef and spends $15.25</em>, is the complete form.

So, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

  • <em>Beef: $3.50 per pound </em>
  • <em>Pork: $2.00 per pound </em>
  • <em>Pounds of beef = x </em>
  • <em>Pounds of pork = x + 0.75 </em>
  • <em>Total cost : $15.25</em>

So, the equation is:

3.50x + 2 (x+0.75) = 15.25

3.50x +2x + 1.5 =15.25

5.50 x = 15.25 -1.5

5.50x = 13.75

x = 13.75/5.50  

x = 2.5 pounds of beef

Replacing the value of x in the Pork's equation:

Pounds of pork = x +0.75 = 0.75 +2.5 = 3.25 pounds of pork

A quality control technician works in a factory that produces computer monitors. Each day, she randomly selects monitors and tes
jeka94

Answer:

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the true proportion of monitors with dead pixels is greater than 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 300

p = 5% = 0.05

Alpha, α = 0.05

Number of dead pixels , x = 24

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis  

H_{0}: p = 0.05\\H_A: p > 0.05

This is a one-tailed(right) test.  

Formula:

\hat{p} = \dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{24}{300} = 0.08

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

Putting the values, we get,

z = \displaystyle\frac{0.08-0.05}{\sqrt{\frac{0.05(1-0.05)}{300}}} = 2.384

Now, we calculate the p-value from excel.

P-value = 0.00856

Since the p-value is smaller than the significance level, we fail to accept the null hypothesis and reject it. We accept the alternate hypothesis.

Conclusion:

Thus, there is enough evidence to support the claim that the true proportion of monitors with dead pixels is greater than 5%.

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

0.8894 is the probability that the test result comes back negative if the disease is present .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

P(Disco Fever) = P( Disease) =

P(D) = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 1\% = 0.5 \times 0.01 = 0.005

Thus, we can write:

P(No  Disease) =

P(ND) =1 - P(D)= 0.995

P(Test Positive given the presence of the disease) = 0.99

P(TP | D ) = 0.99

P( false-positive) = 4%

P( TP | ND) = 0.04

We have to evaluate the probability that the test result comes back negative if the disease is present, that is

P(test result comes back negative if the disease is present)

By Bayes's theorem, we can write:

P(ND|TP) = \dfrac{P(ND)P(TP|ND)}{P(ND)P(TP|ND) + P(D)P(TP|D)}\\\\P(ND|TP) = \dfrac{0.995(0.04)}{0.995(0.04) + 0.005(0.99)} = 0.8894

0.8894 is the probability that the test result comes back negative if the disease is present .

If you add $15 + $27 because that's how much it costs for each student, you get $42. Then you divide $714 by $42, you get 17 and that's how many students are in the class this month.
