If it takes 5 hours to do 2/3 of a job, how long will it take to complete a job?

1 answer:

7 0

I set it up as a ratio with hours on the top and the fraction of the job on the bottom. It looks like this: 5/(2/3) / x/1, because 1 is the whole job if 2/3 is only a fraction of it. Cross multiplying gives you 2/3x = 5. Solving for x gives you that it will take 7.5 hours to complete a whole job if it takes 5 hours to complete 2/3 of it.

What is the answer I have been Stuck on this question for the longest

Ainat [17]

-3(x - 3) > 5 - 5x
use the distributive property

-3x + 9 > 5 - 5x
subtract 5 from both sides

-3x + 4 > -5x
add -3x to both sides

4 > -2x
divide both sides by -2 to isolate x

x > -2

The correct answer is D. x > -2.

Does the equation below represent a relation, a function, both a relation and a function, or neither a relation nor function

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

A. neither a relation nor a function

Step-by-step explanation:

A relation between two sets is a collection of ordered pairs containing one object from each set.

A function is a relation from a set of inputs to a set of possible outputs where each input is related to exactly one output.

Quadratic equations are not functions. Quadratic equations are not a function because they touch two points that is on the same y-axis. Furthermore, if they are two points that have the same x axis, then it is not a function either. It doesn't have a relation either because there are two outputs that are the same by the x axis for 3x^2 - 9x + 20. Those are x = 1 and x = 2. For proof, you can plug both of them in.

3(1)^2 - 9(1) + 20 = 14

3(2)^2 - 9(2)+ 20 = 14

Both answers have 14 as the y-axis/output. This proves that this quadratic equation is not a relation either. Therefore, this equation is neither a relation nor a function.

A company employs two shifts of workers. Each shift produces a type of gasket where the thickness is the critical dimension. The

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

a) $[-0.134,0.034]$

b) We are uncertain

c) It will change significantly

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Since the variances are unknown, we use the t-test with 95% confidence interval, that is the significance level = 1-0.05 = 0.025.

Since we assume that the variances are equal, we use the pooled variance given as

$s_p^2 = \frac{ (n_1 -1)s_1^2 + (n_2-1)s_2^2}{n_1+n_2-2}$ ,

where $n_1 = 40, n_2 = 30, s_1 = 0.16, s_2 = 0.19$ .

The mean difference $\mu_1 - \mu_2 = 10.85 - 10.90 = -0.05$ .

The confidence interval is

$(\mu_1 - \mu_2) \pm t_{n_1+n_2-2,\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{s_p^2}{n_1} + \frac{s_p^2}{n_2}} = (-0.05) \pm t_{68,0.025} \sqrt{\frac{0.03}{40} + \frac{0.03}{30}}$

$= -0.05\pm 1.995 \times 0.042 = -0.05 \pm 0.084 = [-0.134,0.034]$

b) With 95% confidence, we can say that it is possible that the gaskets from shift 2 are, on average, wider than the gaskets from shift 1, because the mean difference extends to the negative interval or that the gaskets from shift 1 are wider, because the confidence interval extends to the positive interval.

c) Increasing the sample sizes results in a smaller margin of error, which gives us a narrower confidence interval, thus giving us a good idea of what the true mean difference is.

8n-13=13-8n can someone answer with steps, please?

NARA [144]

Answer:

1.625

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 13 to both sides

8n = 26 - 8n

Add 8n to both sides

16n = 26

Divide both sides by 16

Your answer is 1.625

Hope I helped :)
