Answer:

The claim that the scores of UT students are less than the US average is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sample size = 64

           Standard deviation = 112

           Mean = 505

           Average score = 477

To Find : Test the claim that the scores of UT students are less than the US average at the 0.05 level of significance.

Solution:

Sample size = 64

n > 30

So we will use z test

H_0:\mu \geq 477\\H_a:\mu < 477

Formula : z=\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

z=\frac{505-477}{\frac{112}{\sqrt{64}}}

z=2

Refer the z table for p value

p value = 0.9772

α=0.05

p value > α

So, we accept the null hypothesis

Hence The claim that the scores of UT students are less than the US average is wrong

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

52%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the difference between this year's sales and the previous'. 1500-990=510.

Now we can divide 990 by 510 to find the percent increase. 510/990=0.515151515152, or 52%.

A music store sold a total of 27 used trumpets and clarinets in one month. Trumpets cost $149 and clarinets cost $99. If total s
vodomira [7]
Answer: 16

Solution:

1) Use letters to identify the variables:

Number of trumpets: t
Number of clarinets: c

2) Translate each statement into algebraic (mathematical) language.

2.1) Sold a total of 27 used trumpets and clarinets

=> t + c = 27

2.2) Trumpets cost $149 and clarinets cost $99

Total cost of the trumpets: 149t
Total cost of clarinets: 99c

Total cost = 149t + 99c

2.3) Total sales were $3223

=> 149t + 99c = 3223.

3) State the system of equations:

Equation (1) t + c = 27
Equation (2) 149t + 99c = 3223

4) Solve the system of equations:

4.1) Multiply equation 1 by 149:

=> 149t + 149c = 4023

4.2) Subtract the equation (2) from the equation obtained in 4.1

=> 149c - 99c = 4023 - 3223

=> 50c = 800

=> c = 800 / 50 = 16

5) Verify the solution:

From equation (1) t = 27 - 16 = 11

Total cost = 149*11 + 99*16 = 3223

Now you have a verified answer: they sold 16 clarinets

The measure of two vertical angles are 6x - 22 and 4x + 2. Find x.
maks197457 [2]
Vertical angles are congruent...they are equal....so set them equal to each other and solve for x

6x - 22 = 4x + 2
6x - 4x = 2 + 22
2x = 24
x = 24/2
x = 12 <==
