Justin weighs 15 pounds less than Greg weighs. Half of Greg’s weight is 75 pounds less than Justin’s weight. How much does each

of them weigh?

Lets take Gregs weight as “x”. This means that Justins weight is x-15, and x/2 = (x-15)-75.

If we take that last equation, lets combine like terms:

x/2 = x - 15 - 75
x/2 = x - 90
Now multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the fraction
x = 2x - 180
Subtract 2x from both sides
x - 2x = -180
-x = -180
x = 180 — this is Gregs weight

Justins weight is x-15, so 180-15, which is 165 pounds. Hope this helped.

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

She wrote 9 pages per day on average

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of pages that Carolyn wrote in her journal each day from Monday to Friday is shown below:

Monday = 9

Tuesday =8

Wednesday = 12

Thursday = 6

Friday = 10

Mean = \frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{No. of observations}}\\Mean =\frac{9+8+12+6+10}{5}

Mean=9

Hence She wrote 9 pages per day on average

A pharmaceutical company proposes a new drug treatment for alleviating symptoms of PMS (premenstrual syndrome). In the first sta
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

95% confidence interval for p, the true proportion of all women who will find success with this new treatment is [0.238 , 0.762].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a pharmaceutical company proposes a new drug treatment for alleviating symptoms of PMS (premenstrual syndrome).

In the first stages of a clinical trial, it was successful for 7 out of the 14 women.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the true proportion is given by;

                             P.Q. = \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \hat p = sample proportion of women who find success with this new treatment = \frac{7}{14} = 0.50

          n = sample of women = 14

<em>Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used One-sample z proportion statistics.</em>

So, 95% confidence interval for the true proportion, p is ;

P(-1.96 < N(0,1) < 1.96) = 0.95  {As the critical value of z at 2.5%

                                            level of significance are -1.96 & 1.96}  

P(-1.96 < \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } < 1.96) = 0.95

P( -1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } < {\hat p-p} < 1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } ) = 0.95

P( \hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } < p < \hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } ) = 0.95

<u />

<u>95% confidence interval for p</u> = [\hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } , \hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }]

= [ 0.50-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.50(1-0.50)}{14} } } , 0.50+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.50(1-0.50)}{14} } } ]

 = [0.238 , 0.762]

Therefore, 95% confidence interval for p, the true proportion of all women who will find success with this new treatment is [0.238 , 0.762].

Divide rs 350 in ratio 2:5​
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

100 : 250

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum the parts of the ratio, 2 + 5 = 7 parts

Divide the quantity by 7 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

350 ÷ 7 = 50 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus

2 parts = 2 × 50 = 100

5 parts = 5 × 50 = 250

350 = 100 : 250 in the ratio 2 : 5

The owner of a toy store received a shipment of 1552 party favors came in 28 boxes the same number of party favors were in 27 of
klemol [59]

Answer : (13)

Let x be the number of party favors in each (27 boxes)

Let y be the number of favors in last box

Given : total of party favors = 1552

27 boxes + last box = 1552

27x + y = 1552

We divide 1552 by 27, the quotient will be our x and the remainder will be y(number of party favors in last box)

Use long division

= 57 and remainder is 13

the number of party favors in each of (27 boxes) = 57

the number of party favors in last box = 13

So, there are 13 party favors in last box.

There are 527 pencils 646 erasers 748 sharpeners there are to be put in seperate packets containing the same number of items fin
blsea [12.9K]

Step 1

<u>Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF)</u>

the prime factorization of each number is equal to

527=17*31\\ 646=2*17*19\\ 748=2^{2} *11*17

The GCF is 17

That means that the maximum number of packets is 17 and the maximum number of the items possible in each packet is

Number of pencils=527/17=31 pencils in each packet

Number of erasers=646/17=38 erasers in each packet

Number of sharpeners=748/17=44 sharpeners in each packet
