Let no. of pens be x.

Pens : x
Pencils: x+8

Total: 2x+8

Student takes 1 pen and 5 pencils.

Remainder: 2x+8 - 5 -1 = 2x+2
2x+2 = 26
2x= 24
x = 12 (original no. of pens)
x+ 8 = 20 (original no of pencils)

There are 12 pens at first and 20 pencils.
After 1 pen is taken, 11 pens are left.
After 5 pencils are taken, 20-5=15 pencils are left.

42 of the 150 employees at Carlo's Car Repair wear contact lenses. What percent of the employees wear contact lenses?
antiseptic1488 [7]
\frac{42}{150} ÷ 2 = \frac{21}{75}

\frac{21}{75} ÷ 3 = \frac{7}{25}

\frac{42}{150}= \frac{7}{25}

Then, divide 7 by 25 because 25 is the divisor

7 ÷ 25 = 0.28

28% is the answer (:

Rewa Delta Union Rugby CEO has become concerned about the slow pace of the rugby games played in the current union rugby, fearin
ozzi

Answer:

We conclude that the mean duration of 15-sided union rugby games has decreased after the meeting.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Before the meeting, the mean duration of the 15-sided rugby game time was 3 hours, 5 minutes, that is, 185 minutes.

A random sample of 36 of the 15-sided rugby games after the meeting showed a mean of 179 minutes with a standard deviation of 12 minutes.

Let \mu = <em><u>mean duration of 15-sided union rugby games after the meeting.</u></em>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \geq 185 minutes      {means that the mean duration of 15-sided union rugby games has increased or remained same after the meeting}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu < 185 minutes     {means that the mean duration of 15-sided union rugby games has decreased after the meeting}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>One-sample t test statistics</u> as we don't know about the population standard deviation;

                            T.S. =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample mean duration of 15-sided union rugby games = 179 min

            s = sample standard deviation = 12 minutes

            n = sample of 15-sided rugby games = 36

So, <u><em>the test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{179-185}{\frac{12}{\sqrt{36} } }  ~ t_3_5

                                       =  -3

The value of t test statistics is -3.

<u>Now, at 1% significance level the t table gives critical value of -2.437 at 35 degree of freedom for left-tailed test.</u>

Since our test statistic is less than the critical value of t as -3 < -2.437, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which <u>we reject our null hypothesis</u>.

Therefore, we conclude that the mean duration of 15-sided union rugby games has decreased after the meeting.

Please, Help.<br>the answer isn't 30°
vagabundo [1.1K]

The <em>missing</em> angle of the <em>right</em> triangle ABC has a measure of 30°. (Correct answer: A)

<h3>How to find a missing angle by triangle properties</h3>

Triangles are <em>geometrical</em> figures formed by three sides and whose sum of <em>internal</em> angles equals 180°. There are two kind of triangles existing in this question: (i) <em>Right</em> triangles, (ii) <em>Isosceles</em> triangles.

<em>Right</em> triangles are triangles which one of its angles equals 90° and <em>isosceles</em> triangles are triangles which two of its sides have <em>equal</em> measures.

According to the statement, we know that triangle BQR is an <em>isosceles</em> triangle, whereas triangles ABC, ANB and NBC are <em>right</em> triangles. Based on the figure attached below, we have the following system of <em>linear</em> equations based on <em>right</em> triangles ABC and NBC:

<em>2 · x + 90 + θ = 180</em>   (1)

<em>(90 - x) + 90 + θ = 180</em>   (2)

By equalizing (1) and (2) we solve the system for <em>x</em>:

<em>2 · x = 90 - x</em>

<em>3 · x = 90</em>

<em>x = 30</em>

And by (1) we solve the system for <em>θ</em>:

<em>θ = 180 - 2 · x - 90</em>

<em>θ = 30</em>

<em />

The <em>missing</em> angle of the <em>right</em> triangle ABC has a measure of 30°. (Correct answer: A) \blacksquare
