Answer:

Each cake cost £ 13.00

Step-by-step explanation:

We were given that, each cake costs 65p or £ 0.65

Andy buys x cakes.

Andy's cost is

£0.65x


Betty buys 4 times as many cakes as  Andy.

Betty's cost is

£0.65(4x)

£2.60x


Colin buys 3 more cakes than Andy

Colin's cost is

£0.65(x+3)


The total cost of the cakes is £ 52.65.


This implies that,

0.65x+0.65(x+3)+2.60x=52.65


We expand to get,

0.65x+0.65x+1.95+2.60x=52.65


We group like terms to get,


0.65x+0.65x+2.60x=52.65-1.95

This gives us,

0.65x+0.65x+2.60x=52.65-1.95


This implies that,


3.9x=50.7


x=\frac{50.7}{3.9}


x=13


Therefore each cake cost £ 13.00

Pete corporation produces bags of peanuts. It's fixed cost is $18,900. Each bag sells for $2.17 with a unit cost of $1.27. What
pentagon [3]

Answer:

in units: 18,900

in dollars: $ 41,013

Step-by-step explanation:

The break even point is the sales dollar amount or sales in unit at whichthe operating income of the firm equals to zero:\frac{Fixed\:Cost}{Contribution \:Margin} = Break\: Even\: Point_{units }

Where:

\frac{Contribution \: Margin}{Sales \: Revenue} = Contribution \: Margin \: Ratio

<em><u>Contribution margin:</u></em>

2.17 - 1.27 = 1 dollar per unit

Break even:

$18,900 fixed cost /  $1 per unit = 18,900 units

Then, in sales:

18,900 x $2.17 each = 41.013‬

break even point:

Test the given claim. Identify the null​ hypothesis, alternative​ hypothesis, test​ statistic, P-value, and then state the concl
never [62]

Answer:

a) Failed to reject the null hypothesis (P-value=0.09).

b) The 95% CI for the difference in proportions is:

-0.0599\leq\pi_1-\pi_2\leq0.0124

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We have to perform a hypothesis test for the difference of proportions.

The null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \pi_1\geq\pi_2\\\\H_1: \pi_1

The significance level is 0.05.

The proportion of the passenger cars owners is:

p_1=\frac{239}{2142} =0.1116

The proportion of commercial truck owners is:

p_2=\frac{54}{399}=0.1353

The weigthed average p is

p=\frac{n_1p_1+n_2p_2}{n_1+n_2}=\frac{239+54}{2142+399}=0.1153

The estimated standard deviation is

s=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n_1}+\frac{p(1-p)}{n_2}} =\sqrt{\frac{0.1153(1-0.1153)}{2142}+\frac{0.1153(1-0.1153)}{399}} =0.0174

We can calculate the z-value as:

z=\frac{\Delta p}{s}=\frac{0.1116-0.1353}{0.0174}=-1.362

The P-value for z=-1.362 is P=0.0866.

The P-value (0.09) is greater than the significance level (0.05), so it failed to reject the null hypothesis. There is no enough evidence to prove that commercial trucks owners violate laws requiring front license plates at a higher rate than owners of passenger cars.

b) We can construct a 95% CI, according to the significance level of 0.05.

The z-value for this CI is 1.96.

We have to recalculate the standard deviation:

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{p_1(1-p_1)}{n_1} +\frac{p_2(1-p_2)}{n_2}} =\sqrt{\frac{0.1116(1-0.1116)}{2142} +\frac{0.1353(1-0.1353)}{399}} =0.0184

The lower limit is then:

LL=(p_1-p_2)-z*\sigma=(0.1116-0.1353)-1.96*0.0184=-0.0238-0.0361\\\\LL=-0.0599

The upper limit is:

UL=(p_1-p_2)+z*\sigma=(0.1116-0.1353)+1.96*0.0184=-0.0238+0.0361\\\\UL=0.0124

The 95% CI for the difference in proportions is:

-0.0599\leq\pi_1-\pi_2\leq0.0124

In this case, we can conclude that the difference between the proportions, with 95% confidence, can still be equal or greater than zero, meaning that it is possible passenger car owners violate laws more than truck owners.
