Answer:

40 pens

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of pens Ron had be x.

We need to find the fraction of the pen that were blue.

3/8 of them were black and 1/4 of them were red. This means that the fraction of the pens that were blue is:

1 - (3/8 + 1/4) = 1 - 5/8 = 3/8

There were 15 blue pens. This means that 3/8 of x is 15:

3/8 * x = 15

x = 15 * 8/3 = 40 pens

Ron had 40 pens.

Kenneth, a competitor in cup stacking, claims that his average stacking time is 8.2 seconds. During a practice session, Kenneth
never [62]

Answer:

The data does not provide sufficient evidence to conclude that Kenneth's mean stacking time is less than 8.2 seconds.

Do not reject the null hypothesis because the p-value 0.0401 is greater than the significance level.

Step-by-step explanation:

Null hypothesis (H0): mu = 8.2 seconds

Alternate hypothesis (Ha): mu < 8.2 seconds

Significance level = 0.04

p-value = 0.0401

Using the p-value approach for testing hypothesis, do not reject H0 because the p-value 0.0401 is greater than the significance level 0.04.

There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that Kenneth's mean stacking time is less than 8.2 seconds.

For the first one:
2x + 2 = 3x - 52
2x + 2 + 52 = 3x - 52 + 52
2x + 54 = 3x
2x - 2x + 54 = 3x -2x
54 = x
For the second:
124 + 2x + 4 = 180
124 + 4 + 2x = 180
128 + 2x = 180
128 - 128 + 2x = 180 - 128
2x = 52
2x/2 = 52/2
x = 26

2x +5 &gt; -1 on the number line​
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 5 > -1

Treat the equality sign (ex. < >) as the costumary equal sign (=).

2x + 5 + (-5) > -1 + (-5)  ---- -5 will cancel out the 5 on the left

2x/2 > -6/2  ------ divide by 2 to single out the x

x > -3

Remember to draw an open dot. Draw an arrow from -3 to the extreme right.
