The required, we can put 125 bottles of water or 8 cans of food in each box, and each box will contain the same number of items.

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:

2250/18 = 125

144/18 = 8

3.2 x 10^3  is considered to be a rational number.

A rational number is a numerical value expressed as a ratio between two non-zero integers. If any given number can be appropriately displayed in the form of 'a/b,' where both 'a' and 'b' guarantee integer input, it would signify that this specified number adheres to the classification of being labeled as rational.

As we can see from the given number of 3.2 x 10^3, when we write the number after solving it, we have:

3.2 x 10 ^ 3 = 3 .2 x 1, 000

= 3, 200

This can be expressed as 3, 200 / 1 so this is a rational number.

a) The number of weeks that she has been saving when she needs $277 is given as follows: 17 weeks.

b) The amount she will need after 5 weeks is given as follows: $505.

The function for this problem is defined as follows:

A(w) = 600 - 19w.

The output of the function is the amount remaining after w weeks.

Hence the number of weeks that she has been saving when she needs $277 is obtained as follows:

277 = 600 - 19w

19w = 600 - 277

w = (600 - 277)/19

w = 17 weeks.

The amount that she needs after 5 weeks is given as follows:

A(5) = 600 - 19 x 5

A(5) = $505.

Answer: B) their preferences for recreation

Step-by-step explanation:

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,

Therefore, the required "p-value" is 0.0187.

First, you need to find out how much ribbon she has total. Because there are two spools, you multiply 24 x 2. The answer for that is 48. Then you have to figure out how many bows she can make. Each bow uses 1/8 of a piece of yard of ribbon, so you can divide 48 by 8. Your answer would then be 6 bows.

Here are the equations.

[tex]24\times2 = \text{X}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{\text{X}}{8} =\text{B}[/tex]

Where X represents the yards of ribbon available and B represents the number of bows that Mari can make.

Complete Question:

Mari makes bows for floral arrangements. She uses 1/8 of a yard ribbon for each bow. How many bows can she make from 2 spools that each has 24 yards ribbon?

The correct option- B. the subtraction property of equality is used to arrive at the conclusion. If x + 8 = 10, then x = 2.

According to the equality's feature of subtraction, equality is unaffected when the same amount is subtracted from both sides of an equation.

Given data:

x + 8 = 10

To find the value of x, subtract 8 from both sides:

x + 8 -8 = 10 - 8

x = 2

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.

What is exponential decay?

The term "exponential decay" in mathematics refers to the process of a constant percentage rate reduction in an amount over time. It can be written as y=a(1-b[tex])^x[/tex], where x is the amount of time that has passed, an is the initial amount, b is the decay factor, and y is the final amount.

Here initial area a = 3500[tex]km^2[/tex] ,

Rate of decay = 4.25%= 4.25/100 = 0.0425

Now using exponential decay formula then,

=> [tex]y=a(1-b)^x[/tex] where x=13 years .

=> y = [tex]3500(1-0.0425)^{13}[/tex]

=> y = [tex]3500(0.9575)^{13}[/tex]

=> y = 1990.08 [tex]km^2[/tex]

The concept of Statistical significance as well as practical significance are known to be two different concepts in statistics.

Statistical significance refers to unlikely results not due to chance. P-values are utilized for ascertaining the statistical importance of a particular result by gauging the likelihood of procuring exceptional outcomes under the assumption that the null hypothesis holds true. A significance level of 0.05 or less for the p-value is deemed as statistically meaningful.

Since the Psychology instructor found SAT scores and amount of money carried had a correlation coefficient of r = 0.07 with a p-value of 0.001, showing a significant correlation. The chance of getting a correlation coefficient of 0.07 or greater, if no correlation exists in the population, is very low.

A second-order equation of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0 denotes a quadratic equation, where a, b, and c are real number coefficients and a 0.

The equation is x²+25x+136=0

For the given equation x² + 25x + 136 = 0, we can identify a = 1, b = 25, and c = 136.

Substituting these values in the quadratic formula, we get:

x = (-25 ± √(25² - 4(1)(136))) / 2(1)

x = (-25 ± √(625 - 544)) / 2
