The probability of correctly guessing which pies were sold on the first day is  near to 2/3.

The Fundamental Counting Principle states that if there are m number of ways to do an activity and n number of ways for a second activity, then there are m x n ways to do the two activities together.

In this case, there are 7 pies and 4 of them were sold on the first day. Therefore, the probability of correctly guessing which pies were sold on the first day is 4/7.

This can be written in simplest form as 2/3.

In conclusion, the probability of correctly guessing which pies were sold on the first day is 2/3.

Answer: X=3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the ellipse is:

x²/64 + y²/289 = 1

The standard form of the equation of an ellipse with centered at the origin and major axis parallel to the vertical is:

x²/b² + y²/a² = 1

Coordinates of covertices are ( ±b, 0) = (±8, 0)

Coordinates of foci are (0, ±c) = (0, ±15)

Also c²= a²-b²

a² = b² + c²

a² = 8² + 15²

a² =289

a = √289

a = 17

Using x²/b² + y²/a² = 1:

x²/8² + y²/17² = 1

x²/64 + y²/289 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We can rewrite 3^6 as the product of two whole-number powers of 3 as: [tex]3^4 . 3^2.[/tex]

To rewrite 3^6 as the product of two whole-number powers of 3, we need to find two exponents that add up to 6.

A way to do this is to use the fact that 3^4 = 81, which is close to 3^6.

Specifically, we have:

3^6 = 3^4 * 3^2

We can check that this is true by using the rule for multiplying exponents that states that a^m * a^n = a^(m+n).

Applying this rule, we get:

= 3^4 * 3^2

= 3^(4+2)

= 3^6.

Answer:

To calculate the monthly payments for each option, we can use the PMT function in Excel or a financial calculator.

For the new car option:

Loan amount = $31,000

Interest rate (annual) = 7.19%

Loan term = 3 years

Number of payments = 3 x 12 = 36

Using the PMT function in Excel, we get:

PMT(7.19%/12, 36, -$31,000) = $966.59

For the used car option:

Loan amount = $16,000

Interest rate (annual) = 5.89%

Loan term = 4 years

Number of payments = 4 x 12 = 48

Using the PMT function in Excel, we get:

PMT(5.89%/12, 48, -$16,000) = $385.36

The difference in monthly payments between the two options is:

$966.59 - $385.36 = $581.23

Therefore, the difference in monthly payments between financing the new car and financing the used car is $581.23.

Our calculated t-value of [tex]4.22[/tex] is greater than the critical t-value of 1.684, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean starting salary for college graduates who major in Statistics has increased.

We can use a one-sample t-test to test the claim that the mean starting salary for college graduates who major in Statistics has increased.

The null hypothesis is that the mean starting salary is still $[tex]54000[/tex], while the alternative hypothesis is that the mean starting salary is greater than $[tex]54000[/tex].

We can calculate the t-statistic as:

t = (sample mean - null hypothesis value) / (standard error of the mean)

= [tex](63500-54000)/(10540/\sqrt{40}[/tex]

= [tex]4.22[/tex]

where [tex]\sqrt{40}[/tex] is the sample size.

The degrees of freedom for the t-test is [tex](n-1) = 39[/tex], where n is the sample size.

Using a t-table or calculator with [tex]39[/tex] degrees of freedom, a one-tailed test, and a significance level of [tex]0.05[/tex], we find the critical t-value to be [tex]1.684[/tex]

Mean is gotten as :

(465 + 502 + 395 + 488 + 472 + 462 + 524 + 434 + 481 + 386) / 10

mean = 459.9

we then find the Standard Deviation:

Standard Deviation = √variance

variance = ((465-459.9)^2 + (502-459.9)^2 + (395-459.9)^2 + (488-459.9)^2 + (472-459.9)^2 + (462-459.9)^2 + (524-459.9)^2 + (434-459.9)^2 + (481-459.9)^2 + (386-459.9)^2) / 9

Answer:

we have to first start converting the given volume to liters, since the answer is expected in hectoliters.

36 liters + 4,000 milliliters = 36 liters + 4 liters = 40 liters

1 hectoliter = 100 liters

Therefore, we have:

40 liters = 0.4 hectoliters

So, we have 0.4 hectoliters of fuel.

Answer:

0.4 hectoliters of fuel

Step-by-step explanation:

We Know

You have 36 liters of fuel and just added 4,000 milliliters more.

How many hectoliters of fuel do you have?

1000 milliliters = 1 liters

4000 milliliters = 4 liters

We Take

36 + 4 = 40 liters of fuel

We Convert 40 liters to hectoliters

1 liter = 0.01 hectoliters

40 liters = 40 x 0.01 = 0.4 hectoliters

So, you have 0.4 hectoliters of fuel.

If in sample of 210 students from district and finds 35 have submitted "box-tops" this year, then

(a) Yes, data provide enough evidence regarding contest which has increased participation in "box-tops" for "education-program",

(b) the p-value is 0.0187.

Part(a) : To find if contest has increased the participation in "box-tops" for "education-program", we conduct a "hypothesis-test".

We use a "significance-level" of 0.05, which means we will accept a 5% chance of making a "Type I Error",

Let Null Hypothesis ⇒ The proportion of students submitting "box-tops" is = 12%,

Let Alternative Hypothesis ⇒ The proportion of students submitting "box-tops" for education is increased after contest,

To test above hypothesis, we use "one-sample" proportion-test.

We will use the sample proportion (p') = 35/210 = 0.1667, as estimate of  population proportion (p).

So, "test-statistic" (z) is ⇒ z = (p' - p₀)/√(p₀ × (1-p₀)/n),

where n = sample size,

In "Null-Hypothesis", the "expected-value" of the test statistic is 0, and  "standard-deviation" of the "test-statistic" is √(p₀×(1-p₀)/n),

Substituting, p₀ = 0.12 and n = 210,

We get,

⇒ z = (0.1667 - 0.12)/√(0.12 x 0.88/210) ≈ 2.08,

Now, we know that "right-tailed" critical value at 0.05 level is = 1.645,

Since, z (2.08) > 1.645, the Null-Hypothesis is Rejected.

So, above data provides enough evidence regarding contest has increased the participation in "box-tops" for "education-program".

Part(b) : We need to find the "p-value" for the test-statistic that we found in part(a),

So, p-value = P(z>2.08),

⇒ 1 - P(z ≤ 2.08),

⇒ 1 - 0.9813,

⇒ 0.0187,

8 + 13 + 15 + 3 + 13 + 28 + 4 + 12 + 4 + 26 + 29 + 3 + 10 + 3 + 17 + 13 + 15 + 15 + 23 + 13 = 258

So, the sample mean is 258/20 = 12.9 (rounded to the nearest tenth).

To find the percentage of employees who worked for at least 10 years, we need to count the number of employees who worked for 10 years or more.

From the data, we see that 7 employees worked for at least 10 years (Employee Number: 2, 3, 5, 10, 11, 15, and 19). So, 7 out of 20 employees worked for at least 10 years, which is 35%. Therefore, the answer is 35% (rounded to the nearest integer).

where A is the amount of the element remaining after time t, A₀ is the initial amount of the element, k is the decay constant, and t is the elapsed time.

In this case, we have A₀ = 420 grams, k = 0.118 (since the element decays by 11.8% per minute), and t = 16 minutes. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

Answer:

We should use 30 pints of the first drink and 120 pints of the second drink

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pints of the first drink used
Volume of fruit juice in x pints = 35% of x = 0.35x

Let y represent the number of pints of the second drink used
Volume of fruit juice in y pints = 85% of y= 0.85y

Since the final mixture volume is 150 pints we get
x + y = 150  ..... [1]

If the final mixture has to contain 75% pure fruit juice, the volume of fruit juice in the mixture = 0.75 x 150 = 112.5 pints

Therefore
0.35x + 0.85y = 112.5  ...[2]

We will solve this set of simultaneous equations by making the coefficients of one of the variables equal and then subtracting to eliminate that variable

Multiply equation [1] by 0.35 to get the x coefficients equal

0.35 x [1]
=>  0.35(x + y) = 0.35(150)

=> 0.35x + 035y = 52.5  ... [3]

Subtract [3] from [2]:

[3] - [2] =>

0.35x + 0.85y - (0.35x + 035y) = 112.5 - 52.5

0.35x + 0.85y - 0.35x - 0.35y = 60

0x + 0.5y = 60

0.5y = 60

y = 60/0.5

y = 120

Therefore x = 150 - 120 = 30

Therefore we should use 30 pints of the first drink and 120 pints of the second drink

To find the largest number of relief supplies that can be put in each box, we need to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 2250 and 144. We can do this by listing the prime factors of each number:

2250 = 2 * 3 * 3 * 5 * 5 * 5 * 2

144 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3

To find the GCF, we need to find the highest power of each common prime factor that appears in both numbers. In this case, the common prime factors are 2 and 3, so we take the highest power of each:

2 * 3 * 3 = 18

So the largest number of relief supplies that can be put in each box is 18. We can check that this works by dividing each quantity by 18:
