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

While on a walk in the country, you pass a field of goats and chickens. After a quick count, you determine there are 38 heads an
Neko [114]

Answer:there are 16 goats and 22 chickens.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of goats in the field.

Let y represent the number if chicken in the field.

After a quick count, you determine there are 38 heads and 108 feet in the field. A goat has one head. A chicken also has one head. It means that

x + y = 38

A goat has four legs. A chicken has 2 legs. It means that

4x + 2y = 108 - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 38 - y into equation 1, it becomes

4(38 - y) + 2y = 108

152 - 4y + 2y = 108

- 4y + 2y = 108 - 152

- 2y = - 44

y = - 44/ - 2

y = 22

x = 38 - y = 38 - 22

x = 16

If j = k, then j + 9 = k + 9 represents which algebraic property
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

c) The given  expression represents Addition Property of Equality.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is j = k

Now by ADDITION PROPERTY OF EQUALITY:

The property that states that if you add the same number to both sides of an equation, the sides remain equal.

So,  <u>  if A  = B  ⇒  A + </u><u>x </u><u> =  B + </u><u>x</u>

<u></u>

Now, here given that j = k

If we add the same number 9 on both the sides, the equation remains  undisturbed.

⇒   j + 9  = k + 9

Hence, the above expression represents Addition Property of Equality.

Can someone solve for x please:
Alecsey [184]
THe LCD is x(x^2 - 4)

so multiplying through by this we get:-

2x(x + 2) + 7x =  5(x^2 - 4)
2x^2 + 4x + 7x = 5x^2 - 20
3x^2 - 11x  - 20 = 0

(3x + 4)(x - 5 ) =  0

so x =  5 , -4/3

Its the second choice
