Answer: The perimeter is 30ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define:

L = length of the longer side.

S = length of the shorter side.

P = perimeter

we know that for a common rectangle:

P = 2*S + 2*L

We aso know that:

L = 2ft + (1/3)*P

S = (1/10)*P

L = S + 9ft.

So we have a system, let's find the perimeter only using this system (So i will ignore the equation for the perimeter of a rectangle)

First, we can replace the third equation in the first equation, now we have a system with only two equations:

S + 9ft = 2ft + (1/3)*P

S = P/10

Now we can replace the second equation in the first equation, and get:

P/10 + 9ft = 2ft + P/3

Now let's solve this for P.

9ft - 2 ft = P/3 - P/10

7ft = P( 1/3 - 1/10) = P*( 10/30 - 3/30) = P*(7/30)

(30/7)*7ft = P = 30ft.

The perimeter is 30ft.

PLS , help me asap :(( , im so frustrated , idk how to do these :c
kolezko [41]

Answer:

y intercept = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

In analytic geometry, using the common convention that the horizontal axis represents a variable x and the vertical axis represents a variable y, a y-intercept or vertical intercept is a point where the graph of a function or relation intersects the y-axis of the coordinate system. As such, these points satisfy x = 0.

How many pounds of a 15% copper alloy must be mixed with 700lb of a 30% copper alloy to maybe a 25.5% copper alloy
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

300\; \rm lb.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the mass (in pounds) of that 15\% copper alloy required, such that the final mixture would contain 25.5\% copper by mass.

Consider: if x pounds of that 15\% copper alloy is mixed with 700 pounds that 30\% copper alloy, what would be the mass of copper in the mixture?

  • Mass of copper in x pounds of that 15\% copper alloy: (0.15\, x)\; \rm lb.
  • Mass of copper in 700 pounds of that 30\% copper alloy: 700 \times 0.30 = 210\; \rm lb.

Therefore, the mixture would contain (210 + 0.15\, x) \; \rm lb of copper.

The mass of that mixture would be (700 + x)\; \rm lb. The mass fraction of copper in that mixture would be:

\displaystyle \frac{(210 + 0.15\, x)\; \rm lb}{(700 + x)\; \rm lb} \times 100\%.

This ratio is supposed to be equal to 25.5\%. These two pieces of equations combine to give an equation about x:

\displaystyle \frac{(210 + 0.15\, x)\; \rm lb}{(700 + x)\; \rm lb} \times 100\% = 25.5\%.

\displaystyle \frac{210 + 0.15\, x}{700 + x} = 0.255.

Simplify and solve for x:

210 + 0.15\, x= 0.255\, (700 + x).

(0.255 - 0.15)\, x= 210 - 0.255 \times 700.

\displaystyle x = \frac{210 - 0.255 \times 700}{0.255 - 0.15} = 300.

Therefore, 300\; \rm lb of that 15\% alloy would be required.

The authors of a paper concluded that more boys than girls listen to music at high volumes. This conclusion was based on data fr
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

Since the calculated value of z= 2.82  does not lie in the critical region  the null hypothesis is accepted and it is concluded that the sample data support the authors' conclusion that the proportion of the country's boys who listen to music at high volume is greater than this proportion for the country's girls.

The value of p is 0 .00233. The result is significant at p < 0.10.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Let the null and alternate hypothesis be

H0:  μboys − μgirls > 0

against the claim

Ha: μboys − μgirls ≤ 0

2) The significance level is set at 0.01

3) The critical region is z  ≤  ± 1.28

4) The test statistic

Z= p1-p2/ sqrt [pcqc( 1/n1+ 1/n2)]

Here p1= 397/768= 0.5169  and p2= 331/745=0.4429

pc = 397+331/768+745

pc= 0.4811

qc= 1-pc= 1-0.4811=0.5188

5) Calculations

Z= p1-p2/ sqrt [pcqc( 1/n1+ 1/n2)]

z= 0.5169-0.4429/√ 0.4811*0.5188( 1/768+  1/745)

z= 2.82

6) Conclusion

Since the calculated value of z= 2.82  does not lie in the critical region  the null hypothesis is accepted and it is concluded that the sample data support the authors' conclusion that the proportion of the country's boys who listen to music at high volume is greater than this proportion for the country's girls.

7)

The value of p is 0 .00233. The result is significant at p < 0.10.

Four of the 7 students got a sticker, so you need to turn that into a percent. To do that, divide 7 by 4, which gives you .57. That means that 57% of students got a sticker.
