Answer:        Lela's original score was 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright lets get started.

Suppose Lela score was L.

Suppose Pepe score was  P.

The ratio of Lela’s game score to Pepe's score is 2:5

So the equation will be

\frac{L}{P} = \frac{2}{5}

Cross multiplying

5\times L=2\times P

P=\frac{5\times L}{2}.................equation 1

Then Lela completes a quest and scores 12 bonus points. The new ratio becomes 7:10

\frac{L+12}{P} =\frac{7}{10}

Cross multiplying

10(L+12)=7P

Plugging value of P from equation 1

10(L+12)= 7\times\frac{5L}{2}

20L+240=35L

15L=240

L=16

Hence the score of Leela originally was 16.                Answer

Reika [66]

Answer: (a)

P - Value = 0.0981 is high, this indicates stronger evidence that we should fail to reject the null hypothesis: H0: pD = pR (There is no significant difference between the proportion of Democrats who plan to vote for the Democratic candidate in the upcoming election and the proportion of Republicans who plan to vote for the Republican candidate in the upcoming election). P - Value = 0.0981 is the probability of obtaining results at least as extreme as the observed results of the Hypothesis Test, assuming that the null hypothesis is correct.

(b)

Since P - Value = 0.0981 is greater than \alpha = 0.05, the difference is not significant. Fail to reject null hypothesis.

(c)

Since in the Hypothesis Test, we have failed to reject null hypothesis, we could have made: Type II Error: Failure to reject a false null hypothesis. One potential consequence of this error is as follows:

Suppose in reality there is significant difference between the proportion of Democrats who plan to vote for the Democratic candidate in the upcoming election and the proportion of Republicans who plan to vote for the Republican candidate in the upcoming election. But the political pollster wrongly concludes that there is no significant difference between the proportion of Democrats who plan to vote for the Democratic candidate in the upcoming election and the proportion of Republicans who plan to vote for the Republican candidate in the upcoming election. Type II Error is committed in this situation. The consequence of this Type II Error is that the political pollstar will that the political parties are loyal and will not do any follow up work whereas in reality it is not so.

Which expression represents the volume, in cubic
muminat

Given:

The composite figure.

To find:

The volume of the given composite figure.

Solution:

Given composite figure contains a cuboid and a pyramid.

Length, breadth and height of the cuboid are 8, 6 and 4 respectively.

Volume of a cuboid is

V_1=length\times breadth\times height

V_1=(8)(6)(4)

Length and breadth of the pyramid is same as the cuboid, i.e., 8 and 6 respectively.

Height of pyramid = 10 - 4 = 6

Volume of a pyramid is

V_2=\dfrac{1}{3}\times length\times breadth\times height

V_2=(\dfrac{1}{3})(8)(6)(6)

The volume of composite figure is

V=V_1+V_2

V=(8)(6)(4)+(\dfrac{1}{3})(8)(6)(6)

It can be written as

V=(\dfrac{1}{3})(8)(6)(6)+(8)(6)(4)

Therefore, the correct option is A.

My math final please help
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

m∠3 = 56

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for x, first:

x + 9 = 3x - 85

9 = 2x - 85

94 = 2x

94/2 = x

47 = x

Now that we have x-value, we can substitute it in any one of the given equation to find angle 3 since, angle 1, 7 and 3 all are congruent:

=> m∠7 = x + 9

=> m∠7 = 47 + 9

=> m∠7 = 56

Since m∠7 ≅ m∠3

and m∠7 = 56, then

<u>m∠3 = 56</u>

Hope this helps!
