An old man wanted to leave all of his money to one of his three sons, but he didn't know which one he should give it to. He gave

each of them a few coins and told them to buy something that would be able to fill their living room. The first man bought straw, but there was not enough to fill the room. The second bought some sticks, but they still did not fill the room. The third man bought two things that filled the room, so he obtained his father's fortune. What were the two things that the man bought?

Think of things that can fill an entire area. Air can fill a room, light can also fill a room.

The 3rd son bought a candle and a lighter, he lit the candle and the light from the candle filled the room.

Solve the system by using the combination method<br> 4x+9y=7 <br> 4x-9y=9
harkovskaia [24]
The two original functions are 4x+9y=7 and 4x-9y=9
To use the combination method, add all the values of the two equations together to cancel out one of the variables
4x+4x+9y-9y=7+9
8x=16
8x/8=16/8
x=2
4(2)+9y=7
8+9y=7
8-8+9y=7-8
9y=-1
y=-\frac{1}{9}

The local public transport authority is conducting research into commuter behaviour. A previous census indicated that the mean c
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

H_0:\mu  = 45 and H_a:\mu  < 45

T = 34.88

The null hypothesis is not rejected

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Random sample of 50 commuter times

Solving (a): The null and alternate hypothesis

From the question, a previous census shows that:

\mu =45 and \sigma= 9.1

This is the null hypothesis i.e.

H_0:\mu  = 45

Reading further, a new test was to show whether the average has decreased.

This is the alternate hypothesis, and it is represented as:

H_a:\mu  < 45

Solving (b) and (c): The test statistic (T).

This is calculated using:

T = \frac{\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt n}

In this case:

n = 50   \mu =45 and \sigma= 9.1

So:

T = \frac{45}{9.1/\sqrt{50}}

T = \frac{45}{9.1/7.07}

T = \frac{45}{1.29}

T = 34.88

Solving (c): Accept or reject null hypothesis

\alpha = 0.05

First calculate the degrees of freedom (df)

df = n - 1 = 50 - 1

d f = 49

From the t distribution table,

At: d f = 49,  \alpha = 0.05 and T = 34.88

the t score is:

p = 1.676

p > 0.05

<em>So, the null hypothesis is not rejected</em>

A rocket travels in a trajectory given by the equation s = -4.9t 2 + v0t, where s is meters above ground, t is time in seconds a
Reptile [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

s = -4.9t² + 49t

The vertex of the parabola is at t = -b/(2a).

t = -49 / (2 × -4.9)

t = 5

The rocket reaches its maximum height after 5 seconds.
