D = rt.  The first car's rate is r, and the other one, going faster, is r + 12.  The time they travel is 2 hours.  Since one is going faster than the other, he has gotten farther.  But, regardless of that, the distance between them is 232.  So the distance the first one travels, r*t, which 2r, plus the distance the second one travels, 2(r+12) = 232.  2r + 2r + 24 = 232.  Solve for r.  4r = 208 and r = 52.  The slower one goes 52 and the faster one goes 64

The first cars speed is X miles per hour.
 The 2nd cars speed is X + 12 miles per hour

X + X +12 = 232 / 2

2x +12 = 116

2x = 116-12

2x = 104

x = 104 / 2
x = 52

x+12 = 52+12 = 64


 The 2 cars are driving 52 and 64 miles per hour

Complete the point slope equation of the line through (-5, 7) and (-4, 0).​
IgorLugansk [536]

For this case we have that by definition, the point-slope equation of a line is given by:

y = mx + b

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

We have two points:

(x_ {1}, y_ {1}): (- 5,7)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}): (- 4,0)

We found the slope:

m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}} =  \frac {0-7} {- 4 - (- 5)} = \frac {-7} {-4 + 5} = \frac {-7} {1} = - 7

Thus, the equation is of the form:

y = -7x + b

We substitute one of the points and find "b":

0 = -7 (-4) + b\\0 = 28 + b\\b = -28

Finally, the equation is:

y = -7x-28

Answer:

y = -7x-28

A sociologist wants to determine if the life expectancy of people in africa is less than the life expectancy of people in asia.
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

The sample statistics are attached.

First, we need to determine the hypothesis.

The null hypothesis should be: H_{o} : u_{africa} \geq u_{asia}.

The alternative hypothesis should be: H_{a}: u_{africa}

The next step is about calculating the<em> t statistics </em>based on the samples. This <em>t test </em>will give the probability value or p-value, which determines if there's enough to reject the null hypothesis. The formula we need to use to find the t-value is: t=\frac{x_{1}-x_{2}  }{\sqrt{\frac{s_{1} ^{2} }{n_{1} } +\frac{s_{2} ^{2} }{n_{2} } } }

Replacing all the values into the formula, we have:

t=\frac{52.4-58.1}{\sqrt{\frac{(7.4)^{2} }{45}+\frac{(8.8)^{2} }{35}  } } \\t=\frac{-5.7}{\sqrt{1.2+2.2} } =\frac{-5.7}{1.8} =-3.2

Therefore, the t-value is -3.2.

Now, we using a level of significance of 0.01, and a degree of freedom (df) of 34, we use the t-table to find the p-value for this results. (df = N -1; in this case, we take the smaller sample, which is 35, giving us 34 of df).

Therefore, according to the table attached, <em>the p-value is less than 0.01,</em> which is less than our level of significance. This result means that the null hypothesis is rejected. In other words, there's enough evidence to say that <em>the life expectancy of people in Africa is less than the life of expectancy of people in Asia.</em>
