Rose bought some spinach. She used 3/5 of the spinach on a pan of spinach pie for a party and 3/4 of the remaining spinach for a

pan for her family. She used the rest of the spinach to make a salad.
What fraction of the spinach did she use ti make the salad?

b. If Rose used 3 pounds of spinach to make the pan of spinach pie for the party , how many pounds of spinach did Rose use to make salad?

Amount of spinach purchased by Rose: x

Amount allocated for the spinach pie: (3/5)x

Remaining spinach afterward: x - (3/5)x = (1-3/5)x = (2/5)x

Amount used for the family pan: (3/4)(2/5)x = (6/20)x = (3/10)x

Remaining quantity for salad: x - (3/5)x - (3/10)x = (1 - 3/5 - 3/10)x
Quantity for making salad: [(10*1 - 2*3 - 1*3)/10]x = [(10 - 6 - 3)/10]x
So, the amount for salad is (1/10)x.

a. <span>The fraction she used for the salad is 1/10 of the spinach.
</span>b. If Rose used 3 pounds for the party's spinach pie, we calculate how much went to the salad:

Quantity for the pie: (3/5)x = 3 pounds
To find the salad amount: (1/10)x=?

To solve for x with the spinach pie used:
(3/5)x = 3 pounds
(5/3)(3/5)x = (5/3)(3 pounds)
x = 15/3 pounds = 5 pounds

Total spinach purchased: x = 5 pounds

Next, we determine what went into the salad:
(1/10)x = (1/10)(5 pounds) = (5/10) pounds = (1/2) pound = 0.5 pound

Answer: The amount used to prepare the salad equals 1/2 = 0.5 pound.

a. She utilized 1/10 of the spinach for a salad.

b. She allocated 1/2 pound of spinach for the salad.

We can tackle each segment of this issue with a "fraction strip," which visually represents the distribution of spinach used for the party, family, and salad. Refer to the attached image for a comprehensive step-by-step breakdown on how to multiply the fractions to uncover the accurate portions.

AnnZ [12381]

Response:

If there are "p" pounds of peanuts and "m" pounds of a mixture containing '20% peanuts and 80% almonds', then we can formulate the following equations:

p + m = 10 -----------(1) and

4m/5 = 4 ------------(2)

The solution yields 5 lb peanuts and 5 lb mixture.

Detailed explanation:

In the mixture that Delaney desires to create, there will be

\frac {10 \times 60}{100} lb

= 6 lb of peanuts

Thus, there will be (10 - 6) lb

= 4 lb of almonds

If Delaney has "p" pounds of peanuts and "m" pounds of the '20% peanuts and 80% almonds' mixture, then based on the problem statement,

p + m = 10 -----------(1) and

4m/5 = 4 ------------(2)

From equation (2), we derive

m = 5 --------------(3)

From (1) and (3), we find that

p = (10 - 5) = 5

tester [12383]

Answer:

a) Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 10

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 10

b) p_v =P(t_{17}

Given that the p-value is lower than the significance threshold in this situation, we have sufficient grounds to reject the null hypothesis.

c) p_v =P(t_{17}

In this case, since the p-value exceeds the significance threshold, we have adequate evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis.

d) p_v =P(t_{17}

Here again, with the p-value being less than the significance level, we can reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Provided data and references

\bar X represents the average of the samples

s denotes the standard deviation of the samples

n=18 indicates the number of samples

\mu_o =10 is the value we are examining

\alpha defines the significance level for the test.

t represents the specific statistic of interest

p_v indicates the p-value relevant to the test (the variable of concern)

Define the null and alternative hypotheses.

To assess if the true mean is at least 10 hours, we must set up a hypothesis:

Part a

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 10

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 10

If we consider the sample size being less than 30 and the population deviation unknown, it’s more appropriate to use a t-test to compare the actual mean with the reference value, calculated as:

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)

Part b

In this scenario t=-2.3, \alpha=0.05

Initially, we need to calculate the degrees of freedom df=n-1=18-1=17

Since this is a left-tailed test, the p-value is determined by:

p_v =P(t_{17}

In this instance, with the p-value being less than the significance level, we have sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

Part c

For this situation t=-1.8, \alpha=0.01

We need to find the degrees of freedom df=n-1=18-1=17

For the left-tailed test, the p-value is given by:

p_v =P(t_{17}

In this case, since the p-value is above the significance level, we have enough grounds to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis.

Part d

For this case t=-3.6, \alpha=0.05

Firstly, we find the degrees of freedom df=n-1=18-1=17

Since we are conducting a left-tailed test, the p-value is calculated as:

p_v =P(t_{17}

Here, with the p-value being lower than the significance threshold, we can reject the null hypothesis.

Complete Question

The complete question appears in the first uploaded image

Answer:

a) Yes, selecting 15 corresponds to a binomial experiment

b)

c)

d) P(r = 15) = 3.2768 *10^{-11}

Step-by-step explanation:

Regarding question a:

For an experiment to qualify as binomial

the trials have to be independent

each trial must yield one of two possible outcomes

Given that the selection of 15 individuals is random, we ascertain that the trials are independent and the outcomes are “either the individual saves for retirement or does not save for retirement.”

Therefore, we conclude that the selection of 15 people at random is indeed a binomial experiment.

In question b:

The probability that all selected adults do not save for retirement is mathematically modeled as

P(r = n) = ^nC_r * p^r * q^{n-r}

Here C signifies combination

r = 15 implies all selected adults

n refers to the population size equating to 15

From the problem, p = 0.20

and q can be calculated as

=>

=> q = 1 - p

Thus

P(r = 15) = ^{15}C_{15} * p^{15} * q^{15-15}

P(r = 15) = 3.2768 *10^{-11} Regarding question c:

The probability that exactly five of the selected adults do not save for retirement is mathematically modeled as

P(r = 5) = ^{15} C_5 * (0.20)^5 * (0.80)^{15}

P(r = 5) = 0.1032

In relation to question d:

The probability that at least one of the selected adults opts not to save for retirement can be mathematically expressed as

P(r \ge 1 ) = 1 - P (r = 0 )

P(r \ge 1 ) = 1 - [ ^{15} C _ 0 * (0.20)^{0} * (0.80 )^{15}]

P(r \ge 1 ) = 1 - 0.0352

P(r \ge 1 ) = 0.9648
