Answer:

Red = 10 cm, blue = 14 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Let the length of each red rod be </em><em>r </em><em>and each blue rod be </em><em>b</em>

<u>Then we have:</u>

  • 3r - 2b = 2
  • 3b - 4r = 2

<u>Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second one by 2:</u>

  • 9r - 6b = 6
  • 6b - 8r = 4

<u>Add the equations to eliminate one of variables:</u>

  • 9r - 8r = 6 + 4
  • r = 10 cm

<u>Find the value of b:</u>

  • 3*10 -2b = 2
  • 30 - 2 = 2b
  • 2b = 28
  • b = 14 cm

What is the slope of the line below
Fofino [41]

Answer:

C. \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the formula to find the slope: \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }

(-1.5, 1.5) & (1.5, 0)

\frac{0-(-1.5)}{1.5-(-1.5)} =\\\\\frac{0+1.5}{1.5+1.5} =\\\\\frac{1.5}{3} =\\\\\frac{1}{2}

The slope is \frac{1}{2}

Your boss tells you that she knows the length of the widgets your company makes is normally distributed with a mean of 25 inches
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Mean of sampling distribution = 25 inches

Standard deviation of sampling distribution = 4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 25 inches

Standard Deviation, σ = 12 inches

Sample size, n = 9

We are given that the distribution of length of the widgets is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

a) Mean of the sampling distribution

The best approximator for the mean of the sampling distribution is the population mean itself.

Thus, we can write:

\bar{x} = \mu = 25\text{ inches}

b) Standard deviation of the sampling distribution

s = \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \dfrac{12}{\sqrt{9}} = 4\text{ inches}
