Answer:
$0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that
Number of bags of popcorn bought = 4
Total money spent = $3.00
To find:
Unit rate per bag of popcorn = ?
i.e. price of one bag of popcorn is to be find out.
Solution:
We can use ratio here to find the rate of one bag of popcorn.
4 bags bought at $3
4 bags : $3
Let us divide both the sides with 4.
[tex]\frac{4}4[/tex] bags : $ [tex]\frac{3}4[/tex]
OR
1 bag bought at $ 0.75
We can alternatively use unitary method.
4 bags are bought at $ 3
1 bag is bought at $ [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
1 bag is bought at $0.75.
So, unit rate per bag of popcorn is $0.75.
) A jar contains 4 white balls and 6 black balls. A ball is chosen at random, and its color noted. The ball is then replaced, along with 3 more balls of the same color. Then, another ball is drawn at random from the jar. (a) Find the chance that the second ball drawn is white. (b) Given that the second ball drawn is white, what is the probability that the first ball drawn is black
Answer:
The answer is "[tex]\bold{\frac{2}{5}\ \ and \ \ \frac{6}{13}}[/tex]".
Step-by-step explanation:
You have 4/10 opportunities to choose a white ball, and there'll be 7 white balls and 6 black balls out of 13, and so the second time they choose a white one is 7/13, as well as the second time they choose a black, 6/13. people will also have a 4/10 chance.
There are 6/10 chances which users pick its black ball and 4 white balls would still be picked, but 9 black balls and out 13 balls and thus, its second and third time you select the white one is 4/13 but you are likely to pick a black for the second time is 9/13.
Taking the diagram of the next tree. The very first draw is marked with a and the second draw is marked with b.
[tex]\to P(a) = \frac{4}{10}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ P(b) = \frac{6}{10}\\\\\to P(\frac{a2}{a1}) = \frac{7}{13} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ P(\frac{a}{b}) = \frac{4}{13}\\\\\to P(\frac{b2}{a1}) = \frac{6}{13} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ P(\frac{b2}{b1}) = \frac{9}{13}[/tex]
Calculating the second drawn ball is white:
[tex]\to P(b2)=P(a)P(\frac{a2}{b1})+P(b)P(\frac{a}{b})\\[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{4}{10}\frac{7}{13}+\frac{6}{10}\frac{4}{13}\\\\=\frac{28}{130}+\frac{24}{130}\\\\=\frac{28+24}{130}\\\\=\frac{52}{130}\\\\=\frac{2}{5}\\\\[/tex]
In point b:
[tex]\to P(\frac{b}{a1})= \frac{P(B)P(\frac{a}{b})}{P(a)P(\frac{a2}{b1})+P(b)P(\frac{a}{b})\\}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{\frac{6}{10} \frac{4}{13}}{\frac{52}{130}}\\\\=\frac{\frac{24}{130}}{\frac{52}{130}}\\\\=\frac{24}{130} \times \frac{130}{52}\\\\=\frac{24}{52}\\\\=\frac{6}{13}\\[/tex]
The following argument is an instance of one of the five inference forms MP, MT, HS, DS, Conj. Identify the form.
[(P ≡ T) • (H • N)] ⊃ (T ⊃ ~S)
(T ⊃ ~S) ⊃ [(H ∨ E) ∨ R]
[(P ≡ T) • (H • N)] ⊃ [(H ∨ E) ∨ R]
a. MP
b. DS
c. MT
d. Conj
e. HS
Answer:
e. HS
Step-by-step explanation:
The argument:
[(P ≡ T) • (H • N)] ⊃ (T ⊃ ~S)
(T ⊃ ~S) ⊃ [(H ∨ E) ∨ R]
[(P ≡ T) • (H • N)] ⊃ [(H ∨ E) ∨ R]
is an instance of one of hypothetical syllogism (HS).
Hypothetical syllogism contains conditional statements for its premises.
Let
p = [(P ≡ T) • (H • N)]
q = (T ⊃ ~S)
r = [(H ∨ E) ∨ R]
The this can be interpreted as:
p ⊃ q
q ⊃ r
p ⊃ r
This interprets that:
If p then q
but if q then r
therefore if p then r
Thus, in logic HS is a valid argument form:
p → q
q → r
∴ p → r
Note that ⊃ symbol is used to symbolize implication relationships. This is used in conditional statements which are represented in the if...then... form. For example p ⊃ q means: if p then q. So the type of Hypothetical syllogism used in this is conditional syllogism.
There are three parts of syllogism:
major premise
minor premise
conclusion
An example is:
If ABC is hardworking, then ABC will go to a good college.
Major premise: ABC is hardworking.
Minor premise: Because ABC is hardworking , ABC will score well.
Conclusion: ABC will go to a good college.
Example of Hypothetical syllogism:
If AB is a CD, then EF is a GH
if WX is a YZ, then AB is a CD
therefore if WX is a YZ, then EF is a GH
This can be understood with the help of an example:
If you study the topic, then you will understand the topic.
If you understand the topic, then you will pass the quiz.
Therefore, if you study the topic, then you will pass the quiz.
4x + 1 -5x =2x +4(x-5)
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer for x first distribute the 4 in the parenthesis
4x + 1 - 5x = 2x +4x - 20
Next add or subtract the x's
-x + 1 = 6x - 20
Now subtract 6x and 1 on both sides to get x on the left and the rest on the right
-7x = -21
Lastly, divide -7 on both sides
x = 3

Find an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has slope –9 and passes through point A(-9,-1)
Answer:
y = -9x - 82
Step-by-step explanation:
Line with slope m=-9 passing through A(x1, y1) =A(-9,-1)
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
Substitute values
y-(-1) = -9(x-(-9)
y+1 = -9x -81
y = -9x - 82

Arbitron Media Research Inc. conducted a study of the iPod listening habits of men and women. One facet of the study involved the mean listening time. It was discovered that the mean listening time for a sample of 13 men was 35 minutes per day. The standard deviation was 8 minutes per day. The mean listening time for a sample of 11 women was also 35 minutes, but the standard deviation of the sample was 18 minutes. Use a two-tailed test and at 0.10 significance level, can we conclude that there is a difference in the variation in the listening times for men and women?
Answer:
Since the critical f-value of the test statistic is less than the f value of 2.9130, we will fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there's no sufficient evidence to support the claim that there is a difference in the variation in the listening times for men and women
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given;
Sample size for men; n1 = 13
Sample size for women; n2 = 11
standard deviation for men; s1 = 8 minutes
Standard deviation for women; s2 = 18 minutes.
Significance level; α = 0.1
Let's state the hypothesis;
Null hypothesis;H0: (μ1)² = (μ2)²
Alternative hypothesis;Ha: (μ1)² ≠ (μ2)²
The value of the test statistic would be;
F = (s1)²/(s2)²
F = 8²/18² = 0.1975
Now, degree of freedom for n1 is;
DF1 = n1 - 1
DF1 = 13 - 1
DF1 = 12
Also, degree of freedom for n2 is;
DF2 = 11 - 1
DF2 = 10
Now, since it's two tailed, we will make use of α/2 for the F-distribution table.
Thus, α/2 = 0.1/2 = 0.05
So,from the f-table attached, at df1 = 12 and df2 = 10,the F-Critical value is;
F_α/2 = 2.9130
Since,the critical f-value of the test statistic is less than 2.9130, we will fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there's no sufficient evidence to support the claim that there is a difference in the variation in the listening times for men and women
If each interior angle of a regular polygon measures 160°, how many sides does it have?
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
Each exterior angle is the supplement of the adjacent interior angle, so is ...
180° -160° = 20°
The total of all n of these exterior angles is 360°, so we have ...
n(20°) = 360°
n = 18 . . . . . . . . . divide by 20°
The polygon is an 18-gon. It has 18 sides.
Answer:
18 Sides
Step-by-step explanation:
Each interior angle = 160°
Each exterior angle = 180° - 160° = 20°
The sum of the exterior angles = 360°
Hence the number of exterior angles =360°/20°
= 18
The polygon has 18 sides (since it has 18 exterior angles).

The data given below consists of the number of children with food allergies at a sample of elementary schools: 3, 9, 5, 5, 14, 10, 5, 11, 9, 6, 1, 8, 10, 7, 9, 13, 18, 9, 8, 11, 9, 7, 6, 14, 12. Find the z-score corresponding to the median of school allergies. You may use your calculator to find the mean and standard deviation.
Answer:
z -score = 0.0459
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
the number of children with food allergies at a sample of elementary schools: 3, 9, 5, 5, 14, 10, 5, 11, 9, 6, 1, 8, 10, 7, 9, 13, 18, 9, 8, 11, 9, 7, 6, 14, 12.
The objective is to find the z- score , but before we can do that , we need to determine the mean and the standard deviation of the sample.
Mean = sum of the sample/ total number of the sample
Mean = (3+9+ 5+ 5+ 14+ 10+ 5+ 11+ 9+ 6+ 1+ 8+ 10+ 7+ 9+13+ 18+ 9+ 8+11+ 9+ 7+ 6+ 14+ 12)/25
Mean = 219/25
Mean = 8.76
Standard deviation = [tex]\sqrt{\dfrac {\sum (x_i - \mu)^2}{N}}[/tex]
Mean (in order )= 1, 3,5,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,9,9,9,10,10,11,11,12,13,14,14,18)
Standard deviation = [tex]\sqrt{\dfrac { (8.76 - 1)^2}{25} + \dfrac { (8.76 - 3)^2}{25} +\dfrac { (8.76 - 5)^2}{25} +...+ \dfrac { (8.76 - 18)^2}{25} }[/tex]
Standard deviation = 5.2174
The standard z score formula is:
[tex]z = \dfrac{X- \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
where X = median (13th observation ) = 9
[tex]z = \dfrac{9- 8.76}{5.2174}[/tex]
[tex]z = \dfrac{0.24}{5.2174}[/tex]
z -score = 0.0459
The blue dot is at what value on the number line?
Answer:
-19
Step-by-step explanation:
By looking at the 2 numbers provided, -10 and -4, you can work out that there is a gap of 6 numbers as(-4) - (-10) = 6
There are 2 intervals between -10 and -4, so each interval is
6/2 = 3
a gap of 3
This means the number to the left of -4 is -7, then -10 which works.
From there, you count how many intervals there is between -10 and the ?
There are 3 intervals, so you have to decrease -10 by -3x3 or -9
Therefore the ? is -19
Another way is to just count it directly
The number directly left of -10 is going to be -13, then -16 and finally -19

A machine used to fill gallon-sized paint cans is regulated so that the amount of paint dispensed has a mean of ounces and a standard deviation of ounce. You randomly select cans and carefully measure the contents. The sample mean of the cans is ounces. Does the machine need to be reset? Explain your reasoning. ▼ Yes No , it is ▼ very unlikely likely that you would have randomly sampled cans with a mean equal to ounces, because it ▼ lies does not lie within the range of a usual event, namely within ▼ 1 standard deviation 2 standard deviations 3 standard deviations of the mean of the sample means.
Complete question is;
A machine used to fill gallon-sized paint cans is regulated so that the amount of paint dispensed has a mean of 128 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.20 ounce. You randomly select 35 cans and carefully measure the contents. The sample mean of the cans is 127.9 ounces. Does the machine need to be? reset? Explain your reasoning.
(yes/no)?, it is (very unlikely/ likely) that you would have randomly sampled 35 cans with a mean equal to 127.9 ?ounces, because it (lies/ does not lie) within the range of a usual? event, namely within (1 standard deviation, 2 standard deviations 3 standard deviations) of the mean of the sample means.
Answer:
Yes, we should reset the machine because it is unusual to have a mean equal to 127.9 from a random sample of 35 as the mean of 127.9 doesn't fall within range of a usual event with 2 standard deviations of the mean of the sample means.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given;
Mean: μ = 128
Standard deviation; σ = 0.2
n = 35
Now, formula for standard error of mean is given as;
se = σ/√n
se = 0.2/√35
se = 0.0338
Normally, the range of values should be within 2 standard deviations of mean. In this case, normal range of values will be;
μ ± 2se = 128 ± 0.0338
This gives; 127.9662, 128.0338
So, Yes, we should reset the machine because it is unusual to have a mean equal to 127.9 from a random sample of 35 as the mean of 127.9 doesn't fall within range of a usual event with 2 standard deviations of the mean of the sample means.
A state lottery randomly chooses balls numbered from through without replacement. You choose numbers and purchase a lottery ticket. The random variable represents the number of matches on your ticket to the numbers drawn in the lottery. Determine whether this experiment is binomial. If so, identify a success, specify the values n, p, and q and list the possible values of the random variable x. Is the experiment binomial? A. Yes, there are a fixed number of trials and the trials are independent of each other. B. No, because the probability of success is different for each trial. C. No, there are more than two outcomes for each trial. D. Yes, the probability of success is the same for each trial.
Answer:
B. No, because the probability of success is different for each trial.
The experiment is not binomial.
Step-by-step explanation:
The trials are not independent because they are chosen without replacement.
There are successes and failures but the trials are dependent.
So it is not binomial.
When the balls are not replaced the probability of success becomes different for each ball.
Suppose we have 10 balls and we pick out 1 so the p1 = 1/10
but when we again pick out another without replacement the p2= 1/9
This explains why it is not binomial. In binomial the n is fixed.

In a cumulative relative frequency curve, the interval with the highest proportion of measurements is the interval with the:_______
a. flattest slope.
b. steepest slope
c. backward slope.
d. negative slope.
Answer:
b. steepest slope
Step-by-step explanation:
The cumulative relative frequency curve also known as Ogive is used for reading the median, upper quartile, lower quartile from the curve and calculating the semi-interquartile range when needed.
From the cumulative relative frequency curve, the interval with the highest proportion of measurements is the interval with the steepest slope. This is because the cumulative relative frequency curve always have a positive slope, and given that the interval has the highest proportion, then the slope will be steepest.

Is the constant of proportionality in gallons per minute the same for every row? What does this say about the relationship of the amount of water to time?
Answer:
Yes, the constant of proportionality is the same for the three rows.
The relationship between amount of water (W) in terms of time (t) can be written as:
W = 16.5 t
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the constant of proportionality, find the number of gallons per minute for each row:
First row: 16.5 gal in 1 minute means: 16.5 Gal/min
Second row: 24.75 gallons in 1.5 minutes means 24.75/1.5 = 16.6 Gal/min (same proportionality as above)
Third row: 33 gallons in 2 minutes means: 33/2 = 16.5 Gal/min (again same proportionality)
Then: Yes, the constant of proportionality is the same for the three rows.
Therefore the amount (W) of water in gallons per time (t) in minutes can be written as the product of 16.5 times time (t):
W = 16.5 t
Answer:
The numbers prove that there is a proportional relationship between the gallons of water and the time in minutes. The bathtub fills at a constant rate.
Step-by-step explanation:
PART A: Suppose at another time you would like to use the same pancake recipe. You have plenty of all the ingredients except that you only have 3 eggs. Convert the recipe to use exactly 3 eggs. Blueberry Pancakes Recipe, makes 6 servings 2 cups flour 2 tablespoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 2 eggs 1 1/2 cups milk 1 1/4 cups blueberries Convert the recipe to use exactly 3 eggs. Hint: You may want to make use of the conversion factor 3/2. PART B: Suppose you would like to make pancakes according to the given recipe: Blueberry Pancakes Recipe, makes 6 servings 2 cups flour 2 tablespoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 2 eggs 1 1/2 cups milk 1 1/4 cups blueberries Convert the amount of each ingredient of the recipe to make 15 servings. Round any decimal answers to two places. Hint: You may want to make use of the conversion factor 15/6.
Answer:
see the attachment
Step-by-step explanation:
The repetitive scaling is best handled by a spreadsheet.
Part A
We know the scale factor is 3/2, so we can multiply the number of servings and everything else by 3/2. The scaled recipe will make 9 servings.
__
Part B
Since 15 = 6 + 9, we could arrive at this recipe by adding the Part A recipe to the original recipe. Instead, our spreadsheet uses the suggested 15/6 multiplier.
The formula used is shown in the spreadsheet attachment. It is filled to the right and down to cover all of the recipes and ingredients.
Find the probability that when a couple has four children, at least one of them is a boy. (Assume that boys and girls are equally likely.)
Answer:
The probability that at least, one of the four children the couple has is a boy is 0.8.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that boys and girls are equally likely, we want to find the probability of having at least, one boy, from four children..
Note that it is possible to have the following for 4 children:
1. 4 boys, 0 girls
2. 3 boys, 1 girl
3. 2 boys, 2 girls
4. 1 boy, 3 girls
5. 0 boys, 4 girls.
To have at least, one boy, out of the 5 options, only 4 is possible.
1. 4 boys, 0 girls.........YES
2. 3 boys, 1 girl ...........YES
3. 2 boys, 2 girls.........YES
4. 1 boy, 3 girls.............YES
5. 0 boys, 4 girls..........NO
The probability is therefore,
(Probability of event = 4) ÷ (Total possible outcome = 5)
P = 4/5 = 0.8
