three times one number minus a second is 8 and the sum of the number is 12

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

one number is 2

second number if 3 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

a = one number

b = second number

3a - b = 8

3a + b = 12

add together:

6a = 20

a = 20/6 or 10/3

find 'b':

3(10/3) - b = 8

10 - b = 8

-b = -2

b = 2

A certain store sells only T-shirts. Let the random variable X represent the number of T-shirts bought from the store on any day, with a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 20. Let the random variable Y be the total revenue from this store on a randomly selected day. If the store charges $15 per T-shirt, what are the mean and standard deviation of Y

Answers

Answer:

[tex](a)\ \mu_y = 1125[/tex]

[tex](b)\ \sigma_y = 300[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\mu_x = 75[/tex] -- Mean of T-shirts

[tex]\sigma_x = 20[/tex] -- Standard deviation of T-shirts

[tex]Rate = \$ 15[/tex]

Solving (a): The mean of the revenue [tex](\mu_y)[/tex]

To solve this, we use:

[tex]\mu_y = Rate * \mu_x\\[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]\mu_y = 15 * 75[/tex]

[tex]\mu_y = 1125[/tex]

Solving (b): The standard deviation of the revenue [tex](\sigma_y)[/tex]

To solve this, we use:

[tex]\sigma_y = \sqrt{Rate^2 * \sigma_2^2}[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]\sigma_y = \sqrt{15^2 * 20^2}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_y = \sqrt{90000}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_y = 300[/tex]

An army of clone warriors is quadrupling every year. If the army started with only one warrior
named Clone Alpha, how many clones will there be in a decade?
A) 262,144 clones
B) 4,194,304 clones
C) 1,048,576 clones
D 10,485,760 clones

Answers

Answer:

C) 1,048,576 clones

Step-by-step explanation:

An army of clone warriors is quadrupling every year.

This means that the amount of clone warriots after t years is given by:

[tex]A(t) = A(0)4^t[/tex]

Started with only one warrior:

This means that [tex]A(0) = 1[/tex], so:

[tex]A(t) = 4^t[/tex]

How many clones will there be in a decade?

A decade is 10 years, so this is A(10).

[tex]A(10) = 4^{10} = 1,048,576[/tex]

A triangular pyramid is 30 meters tall and has a base area of 500 square meters. What is the volume of the pyramid?

A) 7,500
B) 5,000
C) 15,000
D) 6,200

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

if it has a base area that means 500/4 = 125 so each side is 125 on the base.

The formula for the volume of a triangular pyramid is 1/3lwh.

if L=125 and w=125 and H= 30

we multiply 125·125·30=468750

and 468750/3=156250

so rounding that, our base would be C)15,000

Answer:

32 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

65 - 33 = 32 kilometers

Hope this helps

Answer:

b = 56km is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

a (Northbound train) = 33km

b (Eastbound train) = ?

c (Distance between them) = 65km

According to the Pythagorean theorem,

a² + b² = c²

33² + b² = 65²

1089 + b² = 4225

b² = 4225 - 1089

b² = 3136

b = 56km

∴ the eastbound train has travelled 56km.

8. The difference between two numbers is 33 and the ratio
between them is 5:2. Find the numbers

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x - y = 33

x/y = 5/2      Multiply both sides by y

y*x/y =5y/2

x = 5y/2       Multiply both sides by 2

2x = 5y        Multiply the top equation by 2. Bring 5y to the left

2x - 2y = 66

====================

2x - 5y = 0

2x - 2y = 66 Subtract

-3y = - 66      Divide by - 3

y = 22

x - y = 33

x - 22 = 33    Add 22 to both sides

x = 22 + 33

x = 55

267.4 divided by 1\10

Step-by-step explanation:

267.4 divided by 1/10 is the same as 267.4/.10 which you can use a calculator and solve that easly.

Or you can do 267.4/1 times 10/1 because when you are dividing, you flip the second number and mutply instead of divide. And when doing that, the answer is the same.

Please help!? Work out the size of angle x. 42 degrees and 123 degrees?

Answers

Answer:

x° = 99°

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of angles on a straight line is 180°.

180° - 123° = 57° (sum of angles on a straight line)

Sum of angles in a triangle is 180°. Let u be the value of the unknown angle in the triangle.

57° + 42° + u° = 180°

u° = 180° - 57° - 42°

u° = 81°

Sum of angles on a straight line is 180°.

x° + 81° = 180°

x° = 180° - 81°

x° = 99°

Answers

Complete question is;

State the null and alternative hypotheses for the situation described below for a statistical test. Testing to see if average sales are higher in stores where customers are approached by salespeople than in stores where they aren't. Let group 1 be the group of stores where customers are approached by salespeople and let group 2 be the group of stores where customers are not approached by salespeople

Answer:

Null hypothesis; H0; μ1 = μ2

Alternative hypothesis; Ha; μ1 > μ2

Step-by-step explanation:

Group 1 = the group of stores where customers are approached by salespeople

Group 2 = the group of stores where customers are not approached by salespeople

Now, we want to test to check if average sales are higher in stores where customers are approached by salespeople than in stores where they aren't.

Thus, defining the hypotheses, we have;

Null hypothesis; H0; μ1 = μ2

Alternative hypothesis; Ha; μ1 > μ2

As you can see, ABCD is similar to FECG which means its just a bigger or smaller version of the other. The sides change by a specific amount like times 2 or divided by 2

In this case abcd is 2x bigger thab fecg. You can see this by the side BC being 10 and it is the same side on the other shape being 5 so you know FECG is just ABCD x 1/2

Because of this since we know what FG is (4) on FECG we know y is 2x that side so it is 8.

The mean number of points in 1977 was 1189 points with standard deviation of 397 points. With a roughly normal distribution, what percent of performances would fall between 395 and 1983 points?
Your answer
A. 100%
B. 68%
C. 95%
D.99.7%

Answers

Answer:

C. 95%

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean of 1189 points, standard deviation of 397 points.

Percentage between 395 and 1983 points?

395 = 1189 - 2*397

1983 = 1189 + 2*397

So within 2 standard deviations of the mean, which by the Empirical Rule is approximately 95%, and the answer is option C.

Researchers collected data from 100 randomly chosen counties in Texas on pollution levels and asthma rates.

After confirming all relevant assumptions, they ran a linear model predicting asthma rates based on pollution level: Estimate Std.

Write an equation in slope and intercept form of the line (0,4) and (2,0)

Answers

Answer:

y = -2x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, find the slope of the line between the two points. Use the slope formula [tex]m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] and substitute the x and y values of (0,4) and (2,0) into it. Then, solve:

[tex]m = \frac{(0)-(4)}{(2)-(0)} \\m =\frac{0-4}{2-0} \\m = \frac{-4}{2} \\m = -2[/tex]

So, the slope is -2.

2) Now, identify the y-intercept of the line, or the point at which the line intersects the y-axis. All points on the y-axis have an x-value of 0. We're told that the line intersects (0,4), and that point has an x-value of 0. Thus, it must be the y-intercept.  

3) With the found information, write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form, represented by the equation [tex]y = mx + b[/tex]. The [tex]m[/tex] , or the coefficient of the x-term, represents the slope. So, substitute -2 in its place. The [tex]b[/tex] represents the y-intercept of the line, so substitute 4 in its place. This gives the following answer:

[tex]y = -2x + 4[/tex]
