<span>We can safely assume that 1212 is a misprint and the number of seats in a row exceeds the number of rows by 12. Let r = # of rows and s = # of seats in a row. Then, the total # of seats is T = r x s = r x ( r + 12), since s is 12 more than the # of rows. Then r x (r + 12) = 1564 or r**2 + 12*r - 1564 = 0, which is a quadratic equation. The general solution of a quadratic equation is: x = (-b +or- square-root( b**2 - 4ac))/2a In our case, a = 1, b = +12 and c = -1564, so x = (-12 +or- square-root( 12*12 - 4*1*(-1564) ) ) / 2*1 = (-12 +or- square-root( 144 + 6256 ) ) / 2 = (-12 +or- square-root( 6400 ) ) / 2 = (-12 +or- 80) / 2 = 34 or - 46 We ignore -46 since negative rows are not possible, and have: rows = 34 and seats per row = 34 + 12 = 46 as a check 34 x 46 = 1564 = total seats</span>

Answer for 6x-31=11x+64
PIT_PIT [208]
6x - 31 = 11x + 64
6x cancels out and you take 6x away from 11x
-31 = 5x + 64
64 cancels out and you take 64 away from -31
-95 = 5x
Divide both sides by 5
-19 = x

80 people were asked which was their favourite animal.
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

(a)Cat

(b)8 animals

(c)6 people

Step-by-step explanation:

From the attached diagram:

Let the \square be x.

Half of \square =x/2

From the pictogram, we then have:

Cat = x+\frac{x}{4} \\Dog=x+\frac{3x}{4}\\Giraffe=2x+\frac{x}{2}\\Monkey =x+\frac{x}{2}\\Dolphin=3x

Therefore:

x+\frac{x}{4} +x+\frac{3x}{4}+2x+\frac{x}{2}+x+\frac{x}{2}+3x=80\\8x+\frac{x}{4}+\frac{3x}{4}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{x}{2}=80\\10x=80\\x=8

So we have the following numbers

Cat = x+\frac{x}{4} =8+\frac{8}{4}=10\\Dog=x+\frac{3x}{4}=8+\frac{3*8}{4}=14\\Giraffe=2x+\frac{x}{2}=2*8+\frac{8}{2}=20\\Monkey =x+\frac{x}{2}=8+\frac{8}{2}=12\\Dolphin=3x=3*8=24

(a)Cat was the least popular

(b) \square represents 8 animals

(c)

Number of People who preferred giraffe=20

Number of People who preferred dogs=14

Difference=20-14=6

Therefore, 6 more people preferred  giraffes than dogs.

The volume of a circumscribed cylinder is 1458π cm cubed. find the radius of a sphere.
Rufina [12.5K]
The volume of the cylinder is V = πr<span>²h.
For a circumscribed cylinder, we know that in a circumscribed cylinder, the height of a cylinder is twice of its radius as shown in the figure. So,
V = </span>πr²(2r) = 2πr<span>³
</span>Finally,
1458π = 2πr³
r³ = 729
r = 9 cm

That is the answer. Hope this helps <span>✌️</span>☺️✌️

Test the claim that the proportion of people who own cats is significantly different than 90% at the 0.1 significance level.
VikaD [51]

Answer:

1. H0 : p = 0.9

   H1 : p ≠ 0.9

2. The test is two tailed.

3. Reject the null hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that we have to test the claim that the proportion of people who own cats is significantly different than 90% at the 0.1 significance level.

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p = 0.90

Alternate Hypothesis, H_1 : p \neq 0.9

Here, the test is two tailed because we have given that to test  the claim that the proportion of people who own cats is significantly different than 90% which means it can be less than 0.90 or more than 0.90.

Now, test statistics is given by;

            \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } ~ N(0,1)   , where,  n = sample size = 100

                                                       \hat p = 0.94 (given)

So, Test statistics = \frac{0.94-0.90}{\sqrt{\frac{0.94(1-0.94)}{100} } } = 1.68

Now, P-value = P(Z > 1.68) = 1 - P(Z <= 1.68)

                                           = 1 - 0.95352 = 0.0465 ≈ 0.05 or 5%

Now, our decision rule is that;

       If p-value < significance level  ⇒ Reject null hypothesis

       If p-value > significance level  ⇒ Accept null hypothesis

Since, here p-value is less than significance level as 0.05 < 0.1, so we have sufficient evidence to reject null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that proportion of people who own cats is significantly different than 90%.

a cube has a surface area of 72in2. find the surface area of the scaled image with a scale factor of 1.5
zloy xaker [14]
so assuming scaled down it is
1:1.5 or
2:3
so
72 is the 3 units
divide 72 by 3
72/3=14
14 times 2=28

the surface area=28 in^2
