Answer:

The height of the tree is 30 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

h ----> the height of the tree

we know that

The tree casts a shadow that is 27 feet long

Your friend is 5 feet tall and casts a shadow that is 4.5 feet long

so

using proportion

Find out the height of the tree

\frac{h}{27}=\frac{5}{4.5}\\\\h=27(5)/4.5\\\\h=30\ ft

It is desired to compare the hourly rate of an entry-level job in two fast-food chains. Eight locations for each chain are rando
notka56 [123]

Answer:

It can be concluded that at 5% significance level that there is no difference in the amount paid by chain A and chain B for the job under consideration

Step by Step Solution:

The given data are;

Chain A 4.25, 4.75, 3.80, 4.50, 3.90, 5.00, 4.00, 3.80

Chain B 4.60, 4.65, 3.85, 4.00, 4.80, 4.00, 4.50, 3.65

Using the functions of Microsoft Excel, we get;

The mean hourly rate for fast-food Chain A, \overline x_1 = 4.25

The standard deviation hourly rate for fast-food Chain A, s₁ = 0.457478

The mean hourly rate for fast-food Chain B, \overline x_2 = 4.25625

The standard deviation hourly rate for fast-food Chain B, s₂ = 0.429649

The significance level, α = 5%

The null hypothesis, H₀:  \overline x_1 = \overline x_2

The alternative hypothesis, Hₐ:  \overline x_1 ≠ \overline x_2

The pooled variance, S_p^2, is given as follows;

S_p^2 = \dfrac{s_1^2 \cdot (n_1 - 1) + s_2^2\cdot (n_2-1)}{(n_1 - 1)+ (n_2 -1)}

Therefore, we have;

S_p^2 = \dfrac{0.457478^2 \cdot (8 - 1) + 0.429649^2\cdot (8-1)}{(8 - 1)+ (8 -1)} \approx 0.19682

The test statistic is given as follows;

t=\dfrac{(\bar{x}_{1}-\bar{x}_{2})}{\sqrt{S_{p}^{2} \cdot \left(\dfrac{1 }{n_{1}}+\dfrac{1}{n_{2}}\right)}}

Therefore, we have;

t=\dfrac{(4.25-4.25625)}{\sqrt{0.19682 \times \left(\dfrac{1 }{8}+\dfrac{1}{8}\right)}} \approx -0.028176

The degrees of freedom, df = n₁ + n₂ - 2 = 8 + 8 - 2 = 14

At 5% significance level, the critical t = 2.145

Therefore, given that the absolute value of the test statistic is less than the critical 't', we fail to reject the null hypothesis and it can be concluded that at 5% significance level that chain A pays the same as chain B for the job under consideration

Help!!

Answer:

(b)\ 2x - 9 = -1

(c)\ -2x + 12 = 4

(e)\ 2(x - 10) = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Which equals x = 4

(a)\ 2x + 6 = 2

Collect like terms

2x  = 2 - 6

2x  = -4

Divide both sides by 2

x = -2

(b)\ 2x - 9 = -1

Collect like terms

2x = -1 + 9

2x = 8

Divide both sides by 2

x = 4

(c)\ -2x + 12 = 4

Collect like terms

-2x =- 12 + 4

-2x =-8

Divide both sides by -2

x = 4

(d)\ 2(x + 2) = 10

Divide both sides by 2

x + 2 =5

Collect like terms

x = 5-2

x = 3

(e)\ 2(x - 10) = -12

Divide both sides by 2

x - 10 = -6

Collect like terms

x = 10 - 6

x = 4

Hence, the equations with the required solution are:

(b)\ 2x - 9 = -1

(c)\ -2x + 12 = 4

(e)\ 2(x - 10) = -12

Six chicken nuggets have 204 calories. How many calories are in 9 chicken nuggets
professor190 [17]

Answer:

306 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

By looking at the problem, we can conclude the number of chicken nuggets and the calories are directly related, when the amount of chicken nuggets go up, the calories also go up, proportionally. Because of this, we can set up an equation:

6 / 204 = 9 / x

Where x is the amount of calories in 9 chicken nuggets.

Now, we can simplify by cross multiplying:

6x = 1836

x = 306 calories
