1 answer:

6 0

Go step by step

23 is decreased by : 23 -

The product of 44 and an unknown number

Let x represent the unknown number
And Product means multiplication

The product of 44 and an unknown number : 44x

Equals 199 : = 199

Now, put that all together

23 - 44x = 199

Now, begin to solve

Subtract 23 on both sides of the equation

-44x = 176

Divide both sides of the equation by -44 to isolate x

x = -4

The unknown number is -4

galben [10]

Answer: 1.8 s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The height of the spring mass system above the table is given by

$h(t)=6.85\cos (3.42t)+9$

The mass is performing S.H.M with frequency $\omega =3.42$

and $\omega T=2\pi$

$\therefore T=\dfrac{2\pi }{\omega}$

time when mass returns to its original position

$T=\dfrac{2\pi }{3.42}\\\\T=1.8\ s$

Ghella [55]

Answer:

The value 10 years is the population mean

Step-by-step explanation:

A sample consists of some observations drawn from the population, so a part or a subset of the population which in this case is the number of horses with colic.

A sample mean is the mean of the statistical samples while a population mean is the mean of the total population.

Thus, in this case, the sample mean is the mean age of the horses with colic while the population mean age is the mean age of all the horses found at the clinic.

Therefore, the mean age of 10 of the horses seen at the clinic would be the population mean.
