5:3....added = 8

5/8(144) = 720/8 = 90 adults
3/8(144) = 432/8 = 54 children

Answer: are you sure you did ask a question instead of answer it, I’m answering yours like this. Maybe you hit something different. You get points when you answer people. And you use points when you ask a question

Quadratic Equation

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of ages of two friends is 13 years.

The product of their ages is 42.

Let the age of 1st friend and 2nd friend is x, y respectively.

1 st condition= The sum of ages of two friends is 13 yrs.

i.e x+y = 13........ (I)

2nd condition= The product of their ages is 42.

i.e X*y = 42........(ii)

From equation (I)

X+y = 13

or, X = 13-y........ (iii)

Putting the equation (iii) in equation (ii).

X*y= 42

(13-y) * y = 42

13y - y^2 = 42

${y}^{2} - 13y + 42 = 0$

${y}^{2} - (7 + 6)y + 42= 0$

${y}^{2} - 7y - 6y + 42 = 0$

$y(y - 7) - 6(y - 7) = 0$

$(y - 6) (y - 7) = 0$

Either; y-6 = 0

y = 6

Or;

y-7=0

y = 7

Keeping the value of y as "7" in equation (ii)

x*y = 42

7x = 42

X = 42/7

Therefore, the value of X is 6.

Therefore, either 1st friend is 6 years and 2nd is 7 years.

Hope it helps...

Tacoma's population in 2000 was about 200 thousand, and has been growing by about 8% each year. If this continues, what will Tac

Brums [2.3K]

Answer: The population will be 408,000 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

So in 2000 there were 200,000 people and it started to grow 8% every year so up to 2013.

so find 8% of 200,000 and then multiply it by the the number of years.

8% * 200,000 = 16,000

Find the difference between the years.

2013 - 2000 = 13 years

13 * 16000 = 208000 This is the amount of new people from 2000 to 2013 so add it to the original population.

208,000 + 200,000 = 408,000

Fizzy Waters has been involved in multiple lawsuits regarding the alkaline substance concentration in their product and getting

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For the sample, n = 12

Mean, x = (158.2 + 162.8 + 161.5 + 161.2 + 166.5 + 160.1 + 158.4 + 175.6 + 159.9 + 168.8 + 161.9 + 163.7)/12 = 163.22

Variance, s² = (summation(x - mean)²/n

Summation(x - mean)² = (158.2 - 163.22)^2 + (162.8 - 163.22)^2 + (161.5 - 163.22)^2 + (161.2 - 163.22)^2+ (166.5 - 163.22)^2 + (160.1 - 163.22)^2 + (158.4 - 163.22)^2 + (175.6 - 163.22)^2 + (159.9 - 163.22)^2 + (168.8 - 163.22)^2 + (161.9 - 163.22)^2 + (163.7 - 163.22)^2 = 273.5368

Variance, s² = 273.5368/12 = 22.79

This is a test for a single variance. We would set up the test hypothesis.

For the null hypothesis,

H0: σ² ≥ 25

For the alternative hypothesis,

H1: σ² < 25

The formula for determining the test statistic,x² is

x² = (n - 1)s²/σ²

Where n - 1 is the degree of freedom, df.

df = 12 - 1 = 11

x² = (11 × 22.79)/25 = 10.0276

For a test of 90% reliability, Confidence level = 0.9

Cl = 1 - alpha(level of significance)

alpha = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1

The critical value from the chi-square distribution table is 17.28. Since 17.28 > 10.0276, we would reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, the filling machine does not need repair because the variance of the process is not more than 25 oz.
