Lets say you have a bunch of pennies that you are dividing into different groups. How many pennies could you have when you break the pennies into groups of 2 , you have 1 penny left over

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: We have an odd number of pennies.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have N pennies.

When we wan to divide the N pennies into groups of 2, we have a penny left over.

This means that N is not divisible by 2.

The problem is that there are infinite natural numbers that are not divisible by two, this is the set of odd numbers.

And remember that an odd number can be written as:

N = 2*k + 1.

where k is an integer.

Then we want to divide this by 2 (divide N into groups of 2)

we have:

N/2 = (2*k + 1)/2 = 2*k/2 + 1/2 = k + 1/2.

So we have k groups of 2 pennies, and a penny leftover that we can not divide into two.

A manufacturer claims that the calling range (in feet) of its 900-MHz cordless telephone is greater than that of its leading competitor. A sample of 9 phones from the manufacturer had a mean range of 1260 feet with a standard deviation of 24 feet. A sample of 12 similar phones from its competitor had a mean range of 1230 feet with a standard deviation of 37 feet. Do the results support the manufacturer's claim? Let μ1 be the true mean range of the manufacturer's cordless telephone and μ2 be the true mean range of the competitor's cordless telephone. Use a significance level of α=0.1 for the test. Assume that the population variances are equal and that the two populations are normally distributed.
a. State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test.
b. Compute the value of the t test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places.
c. Determine the decision rule for rejecting the null hypothesis H0. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answer:

a

The null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : \mu_1 - \mu_2 \le 0[/tex]

c

Decision rule

    Reject the null hypothesis

d

There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the calling range (in feet) of Manufacturers 900-MHz cordless telephone is greater than that of its leading competitor

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The first sample  size is  [tex]n_1 = 9[/tex]

    The second sample size is [tex]n_2 = 12[/tex]

    The first sample mean is  [tex]\= x_1 = 1260 \ feet[/tex]

     The  second sample mean is  [tex]\= x_2 = 1230[/tex]

     The  first standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma_1 = 24[/tex]

     The second standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma_2 = 37[/tex]

      The significance level is [tex]\alpha = 0.10[/tex]

The null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : \mu_1 - \mu_2 \le 0[/tex]

The  alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_a : \mu_1 - \mu_2 > 0[/tex]   (Manufacturers claim)

Generally the degree of freedom is mathematically represented as

       [tex]df = n_1 + n_2 -2[/tex]

       [tex]df = 9 + 12 - 2[/tex]

       [tex]df = 19[/tex]

Generally the pooled standard deviation  is mathematically represented as

      [tex]\sigma_p = \sqrt{ \frac{(n_1 - 1)\sigma_1^2 + (n_2-1 )\sigma_2^2 }{ (n_1 - 1 ) + (n_2 - 1 )} }[/tex]

      [tex]\sigma_p = \sqrt{ \frac{(9 - 1)24^2 + (12-1 )37^2 }{ (9 - 1 ) + (12 - 1 )} }[/tex]

      [tex]\sigma_p =32.17[/tex]

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

      [tex]t = \frac{\= x_1 - \= x_2 }{\sqrt{\frac{\sigma_p^2}{n_1 } +\frac{\sigma_p^2}{n_2 } } }[/tex]

    [tex]t = \frac{1260 - 1230 }{\sqrt{\frac{32.17^2}{9 } +\frac{32.17^2}{12 } } }[/tex]

    [tex]t = 2.114[/tex]

Generally the p-value is obtained from the student t distribution table and the value is

    [tex]p-value = P(t > 2.11) = t_{2.11 , 19} = 0.024173[/tex]

Given that the  [tex]p-value < \alpha[/tex]

The null hypothesis is rejected

Hence we can conclude that there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the calling range (in feet) of Manufacturers 900-MHz cordless telephone is greater than that of its leading competitor

The square of a number is 3 less than four times the number. Which values could be the number?

Answers

Answer:

The numbers are 1 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

The statement

The square of a number is 3 less than four times the number is written as

x² = 4x - 3

Solve the quadratic equation

We have

x² - 4x + 3 = 0

Write - 4x as a difference

That's

x² - x - 3x - 3 = 0

Factorize the expression

That's

x( x - 1) - 3( x - 1) = 0

( x - 1)( x - 3) = 0

x - 1 = 0 x - 3 = 0

x = 1 x = 3

The numbers are 1 and 3

Answers

Answer:

a). Radius r of the small sector= 12cm

b). Perimeter of the shape= 68 cm

c). Angle= 47.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

a). Radius of the big sector= 24 cm

Arc if the big sector= 20 cm

Arc of the small sector= 10 cm

For the radius r of the small sector

r/10 = 24/20

r=(10*24)/20

r= 24/2

r= 12 cm

Radius r of the small sector= 12cm

b). Perimeter of the shape

= Total length of the shape

Let's note that the other side of the sector is also the radius= 24 cm

Perimeter= 20+24+24

Perimeter of the shape= 68 cm

c) the angle

Length of arc = 2πr*(angle/360)

Let angle = b

Length of arc = 20cm

20= 2*3.14*24*(b/360)

(20*360)/(2*3.14*24)= b

47.7°= b

Angle= 47.7°

Hannah and Zach together earn $950 for an
advertising drop. They earn equal hourly rates
of pay. If Hannah worked for 10 hours and
Zach for 9 hours, how much
did Zach earn?

Answers

Answer:

$450

Step-by-step explanation:

First, write out an equation.  We know that Hannah and Zach together earnes $950 and they get payed in equal hourly rates, so for now, in this step of solving the problem, we will be adding the number of hours each person worked together.

Hannah worked 10 hrs and Zach worked 9 hrs, so add 10+9 to get 19 hrs worked in all between the two of them.

Let "x" represent the amount of money made each hour, and form your equation.

Your equation would be: [tex]19x=950[/tex]

Then, just solve for "x".  Divide both sides by 19.

[tex]\frac{19x}{19}=\frac{950}{19}\\x=50[/tex]

The "x=50" means that Hannah and Zach each earn $50 per hour.

Now, the question asks us to find the amount of money that Zach made.  So, multiply 50 by only the number of hours Zach worked, which is 9.

[tex]50*9=450[/tex]

That means that Zach made a total of $450.

The price of a cup of coffee was $2.10 yesterday. Today, the price rose to $2.25. Find the percentage increase. Round your answer to the nearest tenth
of a percent.

Answers

Answer:

Easy-peasy.

Step-by-step explanation:

2.45/2.10 = 1.167 (rounded to the nearest tenth of a cent).

That is, 2.45 is 116.7% of 2.10

Since $2.10 is 100% of 2.10,

2.45 is a 16.7 increase.

The solution is 7.1 %

The percentage increase in the price of the coffee is 7.1 %

What is Percentage?

A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100. It is often denoted using the percent sign, %

Given data ,

Let the percentage increase in the price of the coffee be represented as A

Now , the value of A is calculated by

Let the initial price of the coffee be = P

The value of P = $ 2.10

The increased price of the coffee be = Q

The value of Q = $ 2.25

Now , the equation will be

The percentage increase in the price A = ( increased price of the coffee - initial price of the coffee / initial price of the coffee )  x 100

Substituting the values in the equation , we get

The percentage increase in the price A = ( ( 2.25 - 2.10 ) / 2.10  ) x 100

The percentage increase in the price A = ( 0.15 / 2.10 ) x 100

The percentage increase in the price A = 0.0714 x 100

The percentage increase in the price A = 7.14 %

Therefore , the percentage increase is 7.1 %

Hence , the percentage increase in the price is 7.1 %

(01.02 MC) Read the following passage carefully before you choose your answer. Mrs. Jennings was a widow, with an ample jointure.1 She had only two daughters, both of whom she had lived to see respectably married, and she had now therefore nothing to do but to marry all the rest of the world. In the promotion of this object she was zealously active, as far as her ability reached; and missed no opportunity of projecting weddings among all the young people of her acquaintance. She was remarkably quick in the discovery of attachments, and had enjoyed the advantage of raising the blushes and the vanity of many a young lady by insinuations of her power over such a young man; and this kind of discernment enabled her soon after her arrival at Barton decisively to pronounce that Colonel Brandon was very much in love with Marianne Dashwood. She rather suspected it to be so, on the very first evening of their being together, from his listening so attentively while she sang to them; and when the visit was returned by the Middletons' dining at the cottage, the fact was ascertained by his listening to her again. It must be so. She was perfectly convinced of it. It would be an excellent match, for he was rich and she was handsome. Mrs. Jennings had been anxious to see Colonel Brandon well married, ever since her connection with Sir John first brought him to her knowledge; and she was always anxious to get a good husband for every pretty girl. The immediate advantage to herself was by no means inconsiderable, for it supplied her with endless jokes against them both. At the park she laughed at the colonel, and in the cottage at Marianne. To the former her raillery was probably, as far as it regarded only himself, perfectly indifferent; but to the latter it was at first incomprehensible; and when its object was understood, she hardly knew whether most to laugh at its absurdity, or censure its impertinence, for she considered it as an unfeeling reflection on the colonel's advanced years, and on his forlorn condition as an old bachelor. Mrs. Dashwood, who could not think a man five years younger than herself, so exceedingly ancient as he appeared to the youthful fancy of her daughter, ventured to clear Mrs. Jennings from the probability of wishing to throw ridicule on his age. "But at least, mama, you cannot deny the absurdity of the accusation, though you may not think it intentionally ill-natured. Colonel Brandon is certainly younger than Mrs. Jennings, but he is old enough to be my father; and if he were ever animated enough to be in love, must have long outlived every sensation of the kind. It is too ridiculous! When is a man to be safe from such wit, if age and infirmity will not protect him?" "Infirmity!" said Elinor,2 "do you call Colonel Brandon infirm? I can easily suppose that his age may appear much greater to you than to my mother; but you can hardly deceive yourself as to his having the use of his limbs!" "Did not you hear him complain of the rheumatism? and is not that the commonest infirmity of declining life?" "My dearest child," said her mother laughing, "at this rate you must be in continual terror of my decay; and it must seem to you a miracle that my life has been extended to the advanced age of forty." "Mama, you are not doing me justice. I know very well that Colonel Brandon is not old enough to make his friends yet apprehensive of losing him in the course of nature. He may live twenty years longer. But thirty-five has nothing to do with matrimony."
