Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The range = 2 = (greatest number in the set) - (lowest number in the set)

→ If we took x < 1 then the range would be 3 - x > 3 - 1 then 3 - x > 2 which is impossible ,therefore x could not be less than 1

→ If we took x > 3 then the range would be x - 1 > 3 - 1 then x - 1 > 2 which is impossible ,therefore x could not be higher than 3

<h3><u><em>Conclusion</em></u>: </h3>

1 ≤ x ≤ 3

then

x = 1 or x = 2 or x = 3

Karolina [17]

A. How many kilowatt hours of electricity did the Smiths use during February?

Kilowatt hours of electricity the Smiths used during February:
Meter read on March 1 - meter read on February 1 =
20,288 kilowatt hours - 19,423 kilowatt hours =
865 kilowatt hours
Answer: The Smiths used 865 kilowatt hours of electricity during February

b. How many kilowatt hours did they use during March?

Kilowatt hours of electricity the Smiths used during March:
Meter read on April 1 - meter read on March 1 =
21,163 kilowatt hours - 20,288 kilowatt hours =
875 kilowatt hours
Answer: The Smiths used 875 kilowatt hours of electricity during March

A random sample of 10 single mothers was drawn from a Obstetrics Clinic. Their ages are 22, 17, 27, 20, 23, 19, 24, 18, 19, and

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

The two-tailed P value equals 0.2308

By conventional criteria, this difference is considered to be not statistically significant.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a random sample of 10 single mothers

the ages are given as

22, 17, 27, 20, 23, 19, 24, 18, 19, and 24 years

H0: Mean = 20

Ha: Mean not equals 20

(two tailed test at 5% significance level)

The hypothetical mean is 20.00

The actual mean is 21.30

The difference between these two values is 1.30

The 95% confidence interval of this difference:

From -0.99 to 3.59

t = 1.2851

df = 9

standard error = 1.012

The two-tailed P value equals 0.2308

By conventional criteria, this difference is considered to be not statistically significant.

I NEED HELP WITH NUMBER 4

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

4.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the height in inches of the model, you need to change the ration into a fraction:

$\frac{1}{50}$

Then try to figure out the value of the denominator in terms of the ratio:

$\frac{1}{50} =\frac{x}{725}$

In this equation we need to figure out how much the denominator of the fraction is changing by, by dividing 725 by 50. Then, multiply that by one:

$4.5$
