We know that 10 printers print 10 pages of paper for 10 seconds.
In order to calculate how many seconds are needed for 50 printers to print out 50 pages  of paper -denoted with X, we should compare these situation with the situation we know (10 printers print 10 pages).
The number of printers is 5 times bigger and the number of pages is also 5 times bigger, which means we can write:
X=5*(seconds needed <span>10 printers to print 10 pages)
X=5*10seconds
X=50 seconds
</span><span>It takes 50 seconds for 50 printers to print out 50 pages of paper.</span>

Lets use the formula RWT=J to solve this, where,

  • R is the rate
  • W is the number of workers/things
  • T is time
  • J is number of jobs/things

<em><u>"If it takes 10 seconds for 10 printers to print out 10 pages of paper"</u></em> - here -

W is 10 printers, T is 10 seconds,  and J is 10 pages. We can write:

R(10)(10)=10\\R(100)=10\\R=\frac{10}{100}\\R=0.1


<u><em>"how many seconds will it take 50 printers to print out 50 pages of paper"</em></u><em> - here we use R=0.1 (previously found) to figure out T.</em>

<em>RWT=J\\(0.1)(50)T=50\\5T=50\\T=\frac{50}{5}\\T=10</em>

So it will take 10 seconds for 50 printers to print 50 pages.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The point estimate is the mean, 47 days.

b. The margin of error is the critical value times the standard error.

At 31 degrees of freedom and 98% confidence, t = 2.453.

The margin of error is therefore:

MoE = 2.453 × 10.2 / √32

MoE = 4.42

c.  The confidence interval is:

CI = 47 ± 4.42

CI = (42.58, 51.42)

d. We can conclude with 98% confidence that the true mean is between 42.58 days and 51.42 days.

e. We can reduce the margin of error by either increasing the sample size, or using a lower confidence level.

Liam uses 2 quarts of yellow paint and adds 3 1/4 Jars of blue paint.Evan uses 1/2 quarts of yellow paint and adds 5 1/2 of red
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

2 + (13/4)x = 1/2 + (11/2)y

Step-by-step explanation:

Let each jar of paint used by Liam be x

Let each jar of paint used by Evan be y.

Liam uses 2 quarts of yellow paints and adds 3 1/4 jars of blue paint. so we have

2 + 3 1/4x

= 2 + (13/4)x

Since Evan also uses 1/2 quarts of yellow paints and add 5 1/2 jar of red paint, we have

1/2 + 5 1/2y

= 1/2 + (11/2)y

Since they end up with the same volume of paint, we have

2 + (13/4)x = 1/2 + (11/2)y
