Answer:

x=48

Step-by-step explanation:

x-3 15

------------ = ----------

6 2

We can use cross products to solve this problem

(x-3) *2 = 6*15

Distribute

2x-6 = 90

Add 6 to each side

2x-6+6 = 90+6

2x=96

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 96/2

x = 48

Matt gets paid an hourly rate of $12.50 for the first 40 hours he works in a week. After 40 hours , Matt gets paid at an overtim

lukranit [14]

12.50 x 40 = 500; this is his first week pay from $12.50 an hour for 40 hours

(15 x 55) + 100 = 925; this is the second pay from $15 an hour for 55 hours and an additional $100

Hope this helps! (If not correct me if its wrong xd)

A public bus company official claims that the mean waiting time for bus number 14 during peak hours is less than 10 minutes. Kar

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

We conclude that the mean waiting time is less than 10 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a public bus company official claims that the mean waiting time for bus number 14 during peak hours is less than 10 minutes.

Karen took bus number 14 during peak hours on 18 different occasions. Her mean waiting time was 7.8 minutes with a standard deviation of 2.5 minutes.

Let $\mu$ = mean waiting time for bus number 14.

So, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $\mu \geq$ 10 minutes {means that the mean waiting time is more than or equal to 10 minutes}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : $\mu$ < 10 minutes {means that the mean waiting time is less than 10 minutes}

The test statistics that would be used here One-sample t test statistics as we don't know about the population standard deviation;

T.S. = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ $t_n_-_1$

where, $\bar X$ = sample mean waiting time = 7.8 minutes

s = sample standard deviation = 2.5 minutes

n = sample of different occasions = 18

So, test statistics = $\frac{7.8-10}{\frac{2.5}{\sqrt{18} } }$ ~ $t_1_7$

= -3.734

The value of t test statistics is -3.734.

Now, at 0.01 significance level the t table gives critical value of -2.567 for left-tailed test.

Since our test statistic is less than the critical value of t as -3.734 < -2.567, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which we reject our null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that the mean waiting time is less than 10 minutes.

PLZ HELP What is the mode interval for the histogram? Science Test Scores Frequency No Бел о об - 1 50-59 60-69 70-79 80-89 90-1

Ksju [112]

Answer: You are correct. The mode is between 90 and 100

This is because the tallest bar corresponds to this interval. The mode is the most frequent value.
