Step-by-step explanation:

let the younger person be x and older be y

4x + 9 = 24

4x = 15

x = 3.75

y = 24 - 3.75

y = 20.25

Hannah claims that people who live in southern states spend 9 hours more per week outside than do people in northern states. She
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

b. Hannah is likely to be incorrect because 9 is not contained in the interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Hannah estimated per CI the difference between the average time that people spend outside in southern states and the average time people spend outside in northern states.

The CI is a method of estimation of population parameters that propose a range of possible values for them. The confidence level you use to construct the interval can be interpreted as, if you were to calculate 100 confidence interval, you'd expect that 99 of them will contain the true value of the parameter of interest.

In this example, the 99%CI resulted [0.4;8.0]hs

Meaning that with a 99% confidence level you'd expect the value of the difference between the average time people from southern states spend outside than the average time people from northern states spend outside is included in the interval [0.4;8.0]hs.

Now, she claims that people living in southern states spend 9 more hours outside than people living in northern states, symbolized μ₁ - μ₂ > 9

Keep in mind that if you were to test her claim, the resulting hypothesis test would be one-tailed

H₀: μ₁ - μ₂ ≤ 9

H₁: μ₁ - μ₂ > 9

And that the calculated Ci is tow-tailed, so it is not valid to use it to decide over the hypotheses pair. This said, considering that the calculated interval doesn't contain 9, it is most likely that Hannah's claim is incorrect.

I hope this helps!

John and Jane went to a bakery to get cookies for a party. Jane bought x cookies that were $3 each. John bought x cookies that w
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

They spent $15.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's given that Jane bought x cookies, so 3x.

John spent $1 on each of the x cookies he got, and also an extra $10, so x+10.

3x=x+10

2x=10

x=5

So they got 5 cookies each.

5 cookies x $3= $15 (check with $5(1)+$10= $5+$10= $15 )

A theater has 56 rows of seats. If there are 13 seats in the first row, 18 in the 2nd row, 23 in the 3rd row. How many seats are
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

8428

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

  • Given, A theater has 56 rows of seats. If there are 13 seats in the first row, 18 in the 2nd row, 23 in the 3rd row.

We have a number sequence  13, 18, 23, ...

  • We can say that this is an arithmetic sequence because of the common difference 'd', is equal to 5, and the first term 'a1' is equal to 13.
  • The formula for the sum of an arithmetic sequence with n terms is given is S_n= \frac{n}{2} [2a_1+(n-1)d]S .

Substitute the given values into the equation to solve for the sum of the 56 rows of seats.

S_56= \frac{56}{2}[2(13)+(56-1)(5)]\\S_{56}=28\left[26+275\right]\\S_{56}=28\left[301\right]\\S_{56}=8428

Therefore, there are 8428 seats in all.
