Answer:

15 360 people in State A and 58 560 in State B

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two conditions:

(1) A + B = 73 920

(2)      B = 3A + 12 480

Solve the system of equations. Substitute (2) into (1).

A + 3A + 12 480 = 73 920     Subtract 12 480 from each side

                     4A = 61 440

(3)                   A = 15 360      Substitute (3) into (2)

                       B = 3×15 360 + 12 480

                          =   46 080    + 12 480

                          = 58 560

There are 15 360 people in State A and 58 560 in State B.

<em>Check: </em>

(1) 15 360 + 58 560 = 73 920     (2) 58 560 = 3×15 360 + 12 480

                   73 920 = 73 920          58 560 =    46 080  + 12 480

                                                         58 560 =    58 560

Among 320 randomly selected airline travelers, the mean number of hours spent travelling per year is 24 hours and the standard d
Ostrovityanka [42]

The margin of error of the random selection is 0.29

The given parameters are:

n = 320 --- the sample size

\sigma = 2.9 --- the standard deviation

\bar x = 24 --- the mean

\alpha = 90\% --- the confidence level.

The margin of error (E) is calculated as follows:

E = z \times \sqrt{\frac{\sigma^2}{n}}

So, we have:

E = z \times \sqrt{\frac{3.2^2}{320}}

E = z \times \sqrt{\frac{10.24}{320}}

The z-value for 90% confidence level is 1.645.

Substitute 1.645 for z

E = 1.645 \times \sqrt{\frac{10.24}{320}}

E = 1.645 \times \sqrt{0.032}

Take square roots

E = 1.645 \times 0.1789

Multiply

E = 0.2943

Approximate

E = 0.29

Hence, the margin of error is 0.29

How to find the height of a 30-60-90 triangle with hypotenuse = 8, and base = 8sqrt.3. Please help find answer fast!
Daniel [21]
For a 30-60-90 triangle
if the shorter leg (oposite 30 degrees) is x then the other leg is x√3 and the hyptonuse is 2x

so
hyptonuse=8
8=2x
4=x

longer leg is 4√3, yep
so shorter leg or height will be 4 units

4 - 3x = 8 - 4x Plz answer this question
timurjin [86]

Answer:x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4−3x=8−4x

4+−3x=8+−4x

−3x+4=−4x+8

Step 2: Add 4x to both sides.

−3x+4+4x=−4x+8+4x

x+4=8

Step 3: Subtract 4 from both sides.

x+4−4=8−4

x=4

A circle with circumference 20 has an arc with 72 degree central angle what is length of the arc
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

<h2>4</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Look at the picture.</em>

<em />

<em>At the beginning we have to calculate what part of the angle 360° is the given angle 75°.</em>

<em />\dfrac{75}{360}=75:360=0.2<em />

<em>The same part of the circumference of the circle is the arc defined by this central angle.</em>

The circumference <em>C = 20</em>.

Therefore

x=0.2\cdot20=4
