Answer:john weighs 375 pounds.

Karen weighs 125 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the weight of John.

Let y represent the weight of Karen.

John weighs three times as much as Karen. This means that

x = 3y

Two times John's weight plus Karen's weight is 875 pounds. This means that

2x + y = 875 - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 3y into equation 1, it becomes

2 × 3y + y = 875

6y + y = 875

7y = 875

y = 875/7 = 125

Substituting y = 125 into x = 3y. It becomes

x = 3 × 125 = 375

Answer:

John- 375

Karen- 125

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 1...

j =3k

2j + k = 875

substituting the first eqn into the 2nd

2(3k) + k = 875

6k+ k =875

7k = 875

k =875/7 =125

thus j = 3(125) =375

In 2008, there were 507 children in Arizona out of 32,601 who were diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) ("Autism and de

Naily [24]

Answer:

$z=\frac{0.0156-0.0114}{\sqrt{0.01554(1-0.01554)(\frac{1}{32601}+\frac{1}{88})}}=0.318$

$p_v =P(Z>0.318)=0.375$

So the p value is a very high value and using the significance level provided $\alpha=0.01$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the the proportion of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in arizona is not significantly higher than the national incident rate at 1% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

$X_{1}=507$ represent the number of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in Arizona

$n_{1}=32601$ sample elected from arizona

$\hat p_{1}=\frac{507}{32601} =0.0156$ represent the proportion of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in arizona

$p_{2}=\frac{1}{88}= 0.0114$ represent the proportion of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the nation

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the value for the test (variable of interest)

Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if that the incident of ASD is more in Arizona than nationally, the system of hypothesis are:

Null hypothesis: $p_{1} \leq p_{2}$

Alternative hypothesis: $p_{1} > p_{2}$

We need to apply a z test to compare proportions, and the statistic is given by:

$z=\frac{p_{1}-p_{2}}{\sqrt{\hat p (1-\hat p)(\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}})}}$ (1)

Where $\hat p=\frac{X_{1}+X_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}=\frac{507+1}{32601 +88}=0.01554$

Calculate the statistic

Replacing in formula (1) the values obtained we got this:

$z=\frac{0.0156-0.0114}{\sqrt{0.01554(1-0.01554)(\frac{1}{32601}+\frac{1}{88})}}=0.318$

Statistical decision

The significance level provided is $\alpha=0.01$ , and we can calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a one right sided test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(Z>0.318)=0.375$

So the p value is a very high value and using the significance level provided $\alpha=0.01$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the the proportion of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in arizona is not significantly higher than the national incident rate at 1% of significance.

Ryan is a wrestler trying to make weight. He currently weighs 200 lbs. If he cuts 2 lbs. per week, how many weeks will it take h

Varvara68 [4.7K]

The inequality for this problem is

200 - 2w < 175 => 2w > 200-175 => 2w > 25 => w > 12.5

The conclusion is that Ryan will have less than 175 lbs after 13-th week.

Good luck!!!

The number of State Parks in California is 36 more than one third the number of State Parks in Florida. There are 85 State Parks

Sidana [21]

The correct answer is 1/3f +36 = 85. You can figure this out by reading this "The number of State Parks in California is 36 more than one third the number of State Parks in Florida" and writing it as an equation.

85 = 1/3f + 36

Find the nth term for the<br> following sequences:<br> Q2)3, 9, 15, 21

elixir [45]

Answer:

$a_{n}$ = 6n - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common difference d between consecutive terms, that is

d = 9 - 3 = 15 - 9 = 21 - 15 = 6

This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with n th term

$a_{n}$ = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 3 and d = 6, then

$a_{n}$ = 3 + 6(n - 1) = 3 + 6n - 6 = 6n - 3

Finding an Equation of a Tangent Line In Exercise, find an equation of the tangent line to the graph of the function at the give

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Equation of tangent will be $y=\frac{x}{e}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given the function $y=x^2e^{-x}$

We have to find the equation of tangent at the point $(1,\frac{1}{e})$

Equation of tangent is equal to $\frac{dy}{dx}$

So $\frac{dy}{dx}=x^2\frac{d}{dx}e^{-x}+e^{-x}\frac{d}{dx}2x=-x^2e^{-x}+2e^{-x}$

Now we have given point $(1,\frac{1}{e})$

So putting these points in the equation of tangent

$\frac{dy}{dx}=-1^2e^{-1}+2e^{-1}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1}{e}$

Now equation of tangent passing through $(1,\frac{1}{e})$

$y-\frac{1}{e}=\frac{1}{e}(x-1)$

$y=\frac{x}{e}-\frac{1}{e}+\frac{1}{e}=\frac{x}{e}$
