Answer:\frac{5}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

In this situation

there are 5 apples together with 7 peaches, with 4 of the apples and 2 of the peaches being rotten

this leaves us with 1 apple and 5 fresh peaches

Thus, the probability of selecting fresh fruit is =\frac{6}{12}

and the probability of selecting an apple is =\frac{5}{12}

The combined probability is =\frac{1}{12}

Thus, the probability of selecting either a fresh piece of fruit or an apple is=\frac{6}{12}+\frac{5}{12}-\frac{1}{12}

=\frac{5}{6}

A new weight-watching company, Weight Reducers International, advertises that those who join will lose an average of 10 pounds a
Inessa [12160]

Answer:

The value calculated is Z = 2.53, which exceeds 1.96 at a significance level of 0.05

This leads to the rejection of the null hypothesis H₀

Thus, we accept the alternative hypothesis

This implies that individuals participating in Weight Reducers will lose more than 10 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

The size of the random sample 'n' = 50

The new weight-loss program, Weight Reducers International, claims that members will shed an average of 10 pounds within the initial two weeks, with a standard deviation of 2.8 pounds.

Population mean 'μ' = 10 pounds

Population standard deviation 'σ' = 2.8 pounds

Sample mean 'x⁻' = 9

Significance level ∝ = 0.05

Step(ii):-

Null hypothesis: H₀: μ < 10

Alternative hypothesis: H₁: μ > 10

Test statistic calculation

z= \frac{x^{-} - mean}{\frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } }

z= \frac{9 - 10}{\frac{2.8}{\sqrt{50} } } = \frac{-1}{0.395} = 2.53

The determined Z value is 2.53

In this case, the critical value Z is 1.96 at the 0.05 significance level

Step(iii):-

Calculated Z value of 2.53 is greater than 1.96 at a significance level of 0.05

Consequently, we reject the null hypothesis H₀

We accept the alternative hypothesis

Conclusion:-

We determine that individuals who sign up for Weight Reducers will experience a weight loss exceeding 10 pounds

A manufacturer of a certain brand of appliance estimates that he can sell 5000 units a year at Php 900.00 each and that he can s
lawyer [12109]

To start, calculate the return for each price per unit

Return = quantity sold x price per unit

Return1 = 5000 units x Php 900

Return1 = Php 4,500,000

Next, figure out the return for the other price per unit

Return2 = quantity sold x price per unit

Return2 = (5000 + 1500 units) x ( Php 900 – 100)

Return2 = Php 5,200,000

Thus, a price of Php 800 per unit will result in a higher return.

Angie baked 100 cookies and 20 brownies. She wants to  split them into equal groups  for the big sale. Each group must have the
zzz [11851]
Avoid repeating the question as it can be perplexing.

Given 100 cookies and 20 brownies,
What is the highest number you can divide them equally by?

To find the greatest common factor,
Factor them:
100 = 2*2*5*5
20 = 2*2*5
Thus, the greatest common factor, which is shared between them, is 2*2*5 or 20.

Calculating further, 100/20=5
20/20=1

This means there are 20 groups, each containing 5 cookies and 1 brownie.

If the area of the vegetable garden is 170 square feet which equation could be of use to find the length of the tomato patch? 0=
Svet_ta [12291]

Answer:

The equation 0 = 3x² + 17x - 160 might be useful in determining the length.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the vegetable garden is specified as 170 ft².

Now, regarding the provided equations;

1) For 0 = 3x² + 2x + 180, applying the quadratic formula results in:

x = [-2 ± √(3² - 4(3 × 180)]/(2 × 3)

x = [-2 ± √(-2151)]/6

The square root value is negative, indicating no real solution for x.

Thus, this equation does not help find the length.

2) For the equation 0 = 3x² + 10x + 180, employing the quadratic formula, the square root value is also negative, hence there's no natural root for x. This means this equation can't be used to determine the length.

3) For 0 = 3x² + 17x - 160, the roots when using the quadratic formula yield -10.67 or 5. The value 5 is viable since it is a whole number. Considering the area is also a whole number, this equation can be applied to ascertain the length.

4) For 0 = 3x² - 160, simplifying gives;

3x² = 160

x² = 160/3

x = ±√(160/3)

x = ±7.303

Since the area is a whole number but this length isn't, this equation may not accurately determine the length.
