Answer: 8, 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sum of two numbers is 32 and one number is 3 times as large as the other, the first number can be defined as x and the second number is 3x.

Divide 32 by (3+1) = 4 and you get 8, which is x.

The second number is 3(8) = 24.

Answer:

about 9.80 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of half the segment (h) can be found from the Pythagorean theorem:

h² +5² = 7²

h² = 7² -5² = 49 -25 = 24

h = √24 = 2√6

This is half the segment length, so the whole segment length is ...

L = 2h = 2(2√6)

L = 4√6 ≈ 9.7980

The length of the segment is 4√6 ≈ 9.80 cm.

To compare two products such as colas, a random sample is selected to taste two types of colas (A and B). Each selected subject

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer: The sample size would be needed = 385

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the prior population proportion.

Margin of error = E

When not estimate of p is given , the formula to calculate the minimum sample size <em>n</em> = $0.25(\dfrac{z^*}{E})^2$ , where z* = critical value for given confidence interval.
