Answer: 9

Step-by-step explanation: You can start by setting this up as an equation, where X is Brooke’s age.

X + 2(x)+ 3 = 30

The 2(X) + 3 signifies the part of the problems identifying that Mia is twice her sisters age plus 3 years.

Combine x’s

3x + 3 = 30

Subtract 3 from both sides to isolate the x term

3x= 27

Divide both sides by 3 to reduce to a single x

X= 9 , which is brooke’s age

James used a substitution to solve this system of equations. Which equation could be a result of his first step? 2x+3y=12 y=x+1.
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

x = 1.5

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this system of equation using the substitution methods we say let

2x+3y=12................................... equation 1

y=x+1.5..................................... equation 2

substitute equation 2  into equation 1

2x+3y=12................................... equation 1

2x + 3( x + 1.5) = 12

2x + 3x + 4.5 = 12

5x + 4.5 = 12

collect the like terms

5x = 12 - 4.5

5x = 7.5

divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 5

5x/5 = 7.5/5

x = 1.5

put x = 1.5 into equation 2

y=x+1.5..................................... equation 2

y = 1.5 + 1.5

y = 3

therefore the value of x = 1.5 and y = 3 respectively.

What is the 3rd term in the sequence?​
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the third term substitute n = 3 into the n th term formula

a(3) = \frac{3}{2}(-2)^{3-1}

      = \frac{3}{2}(-2)^{2}

      = \frac{3}{2} × 4 = 6

A sample of 12 radon detectors of a certain type was selected, and each was exposed to 100 pCI/L of radon. The resulting reading
valkas [14]

Answer:

Null hypothesis:\mu = 100  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 100  

t=\frac{98.375-100}{\frac{6.109}{\sqrt{12}}}=-0.921  

p_v =2*P(t_{11}  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation  

Data: 105.6, 90.9, 91.2, 96.9, 96.5, 91.3, 100.1, 105.0, 99.6, 107.7, 103.3, 92.4

We can calculate the sample mean and deviation for this data with the following formulas:

\bar X =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}

s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i- \bar X)^2}{n-1}}

The results obtained are:

\bar X=98.375 represent the sample mean  

s=0.6.109 represent the sample standard deviation  

n=12 sample size  

\mu_o =100 represent the value that we want to test  

\alpha represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

2) State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is equal to 100pCL/L, the system of hypothesis are :  

Null hypothesis:\mu = 100  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 100  

Since we don't know the population deviation, is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)  

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

3) Calculate the statistic  

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

t=\frac{98.375-100}{\frac{6.109}{\sqrt{12}}}=-0.921  

4) P-value  

First we need to find the degrees of freedom for the statistic given by:

df=n-1=12-1=11

Since is a two sided test the p value would given by:  

p_v =2*P(t_{11}  

5) Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level assumed \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the true mean is not significant different from 100 at 5% of significance.
