Answer:

The space between the plants is approximately 1.26ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Circular Garden

Number of plants = 20

Diameter of garden = 8ft

First, the circumference of the garden needs to be calculated; This is so because the plants that will be placed at the edge of the garden will occupy the circumference of the circle.

Calculating the circumference....

Circumference = 2πr

Where r = radius

r = ½ * diameter.

r = ½ * 8ft

r = 4ft

So,

Circumference = 2π * 4

Circumference = 8π ft

Given that the plants will be spaced evenly.

The distance between them = Circumference ÷ Number of plants

Distance = 8π/20

Distance = 0.4π ft.

Solving further to get actual distance (take π as 22/7)

Distance = 0.4 * 22/7

Distance = 8.8/7

Distance = 1.2571428571 ft

Distance = 1.26ft (Approximated)

Hence, the space between the plants is approximately 1.26ft

One number is 23 more than another. If the sum of the two numbers is 163, find the two numbers.
kipiarov [429]

ANSWER

93 and 70

EXPLANATION

We have that one number is 23 more than another.

Let the first number be x.

Let the second number be y.

This means that:

x = 23 + y ____(1)

The sum of the two numbers is 163. This means that:

x + y = 163 ____(2)

Put (1) in (2):

23 + y + y = 163

23 + 2y = 163

2y = 163 - 23

2y = 140

y = 140 / 2

y = 70

From (1):

x = 23 + 70

x = 93

The two numbers are 93 and 70.

GreenBeam Ltd. claims that its compact fluorescent bulbs average no more than 3.50 mg of mercury. A sample of 25 bulbs shows a m
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

(a) Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \leq 3.50 mg  

     Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu > 3.50 mg

(b) The value of z test statistics is 2.50.

(c) We conclude that the average mg of mercury in compact fluorescent bulbs is more than 3.50 mg.

(d) The p-value is 0.0062.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Green Beam Ltd. claims that its compact fluorescent bulbs average no more than 3.50 mg of mercury. A sample of 25 bulbs shows a mean of 3.59 mg of mercury. Assuming a known standard deviation of 0.18 mg.

<u><em /></u>

<u><em>Let </em></u>\mu<u><em> = average mg of mercury in compact fluorescent bulbs.</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \leq 3.50 mg     {means that the average mg of mercury in compact fluorescent bulbs is no more than 3.50 mg}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu > 3.50 mg     {means that the average mg of mercury in compact fluorescent bulbs is more than 3.50 mg}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>One-sample z test</u> <u>statistics</u> as we know about the population standard deviation;

                          T.S. =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \bar X = sample mean mg of mercury = 3.59

            \sigma = population standard deviation = 0.18 mg

            n = sample of bulbs = 25

So, <em><u>test statistics</u></em>  =  \frac{3.59-3.50}{\frac{0.18}{\sqrt{25} } }

                               =  2.50

The value of z test statistics is 2.50.

<u>Now, P-value of the test statistics is given by;</u>

         P-value = P(Z > 2.50) = 1 - P(Z \leq 2.50)

                                             = 1 - 0.9938 = 0.0062

<em />

<em>Now, at 0.01 significance level the z table gives critical value of 2.3263 for right-tailed test. Since our test statistics is more than the critical values of z, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which </em><em><u>we reject our null hypothesis</u></em><em>.</em>

Therefore, we conclude that the average mg of mercury in compact fluorescent bulbs is more than 3.50 mg.

3. Simplify.<br><br> 312⋅312 <br><br> 4. Rewrite n√xm<br><br> using a rational expression.
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Left

As near as I can tell, the question is x^(1/2) * x^(1/2) = The bases are the same, so all you do is add the powers.

x^(1/2 + 1/2) = x^1 which is just x.

Right

The is another one where the work is hard to show. The numerator (m) of the fraction is the power and the denominator (n) is the root. That sentence is all the work there is.

So you would write \sqrt[m]{x^{n} } = x^{\frac{m}{n} }

NEED ANSWER ASAP TYY SO MUCH IN ADVANCE
ratelena [41]

Answer:

13.70

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2

a = side 1

b = side 2

c = hypotenuse

9.2^2 + b^2 = 16.5^2

272.25 - 84.64 = 187.61 =b^2

√187.61 = b = 13.697 = 13.70
