Answer:

option C

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

$\bar{x_1} = 158.706, \sigma_1 = 25.36 , n_1= 17$

$\bar{x_1} = 122.471, \sigma_1 = 25.183 , n_2= 17$

α = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

degree of freedom (df) = 17 -1 = 16

critical value $= t_{\alpha/2},df = t_{0.025},16 =2.120$ (from t-table)

margin of error = $t_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{s_1^2}{n_1}+\dfrac{s_2^2}{n_2}}$

=2.120\times \sqrt{\dfrac{25.36^2}{17}+\dfrac{25.183^2}{17}}[/tex]

= 2.120 x 8.6467

= 18.33

Margin of error = 18.33

Point estimation of difference = $\bar{x_1} - \bar{x_2}$

= 36.235

lower limit = 36.235 - 18.33 = 17.91

upper limit = 36.235 + 18.33 = 54.57

hence, the nearest option near to answer is option C

Answer: Choice D

(a-e)/f

=======================================

Explanation:

Points D and B are at locations (e,f) and (a,0) respectively.

Find the slope of line DB to get

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (0-f)/(a-e)

m = -f/(a-e)

This is the slope of line DB. We want the perpendicular slope to this line. So we'll flip the fraction to get -(a-e)/f and then flip the sign from negative to positive. That leads to the final answer (a-e)/f.

Another example would be an original slope of -2/5 has a perpendicular slope of 5/2. Notice how the two slopes -2/5 and 5/2 multiply to -1. This is true of any pair of perpendicular lines where neither line is vertical.

36.25= 45.5% of ____

aev [14]

Answer:

36.25 is equal to the 45.5% of 79.67

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this you just have to find the value that represents the 100%.

To do this, you can use the Rule of Three that allows you to solve problems of proportions.

In this case, you know that the 45.5% of the magnitude <em>X </em>is 36.25, now you have to find the value which corresponds to the 100%.

Mathematically it will be:

$\frac{X}{36.25} =\frac{100}{45.5}$

Then you have to solve the equation to find <em>X</em>:

$X=\frac{100}{45.5}*36.25$

And finally, the answer is:

$X=79.67$

Three consecutive integers have a sum of 72. find the integers

mariarad [96]

Set the first number as x.

Note that three consecutive integers are 3 numbers that are 1 greater than the previous.

(x) + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 72

Simplify. Combine like terms

3x + 3 = 72

Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First, subtract 3 from both sides

3x + 3 (-3) = 72 (-3)

3x = 69

Next, divide 3 from both sides

3x/3 = 69/3

x = 23

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

23 is your first answer

Plug in 23 for each x.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(x) + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 72

(x) = 23

(x + 1) = 23 + 1 = 24

(x + 2) = 23 + 2 = 25

23, 24, 25 are your answers
