Answer:

Length\ of\ the\ long\ piece=40\ meters\\\\Length\ of\ the\ short\ piece=17\ meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "s" the length in meters of the short piece and "l" the lenght in meters of the long piece.

Set up a system of equations:

\left \{ {{s+l=57} \atop {s=l-23}} \right.

Apply the Substitution Method to solve the system. Substitute the second equation into the first equation and solve for "l":

(l-23)+l=57\\\\2l=80\\\\l=\frac{80}{2}\\\\l=40

Susbstitute the value of "l" into the second equation in order to find the value of "s". This is:

s=40-23\\\\s=17

Which equation has the same graph as 4x + 8y = 12?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

4x + 8y = 12  \\ 4(x + 2y) = 12 \\  \frac{4(x + 2y)}{4}  =  \frac{12}{4}  \\ x + 2y = 3

Consider the following sets: R = {x | x is the set of rectangles} P = {x | x is the set of parallelograms} T = {x | x is the set
Liula [17]
"T is a subset of P"

Not true since triangle has three sides but parallelogram has four sides.

"E is a subset of I"

True since equilateral triangles are isosceles triangles with all angles equal.

"S is a subset of T"

True since scalene triangles are still triangle.

"I ⊂ E"

False since there are isosceles triangles those are not equilateral triangles. Namely triangle with angles 20°, 20°, 140°

"T ⊂ E"

False since not all triangles are equilateral. Scalene triangle is one of counterexamples.

"R ⊂ P"

True since rectangles are parallelograms with right angles.

Final answer: <span>E is a subset of I, </span>S is a subset of T, and R ⊂ P.

Hope this helps.

A restaurant chain has two locations in a medium-sized town and, believing that it has oversaturated the market for its food, is
scoray [572]

Answer:

Yes, since the test statistic value is greater than the critical value.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

\bar X_{1}=360000 represent the mean for the downtown restaurant

\bar X_{2}=340000 represent the mean for the freeway restaurant

s_{1}=50000 represent the sample standard deviation for downtown

s_{2}=40000 represent the sample standard deviation for the freeway

n_{1}=36 sample size for the downtown restaurant

n_{2}=36 sample size for the freeway restaurant

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

\alpha=0.05 significance level provided

Develop the null and alternative hypotheses for this study?

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean of revenue for downtown is higher than for freeway restaurant, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis:\mu_{1}\leq \mu_{2}

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_{1} > \mu_{2}

Since we don't know the population deviations for each group, for this case is better apply a t test to compare means, and the statistic is given by:

t=\frac{\bar X_{1}-\bar X_{2}}{\sqrt{\frac{s^2_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{s^2_{2}}{n_{2}}}} (1)

t-test: Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine whether the means of two groups are equal to each other.

Determine the critical value.

Based on the significance level\alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2=0.025 we can find the critical values from the t distribution dith degrees of freedom df=36+36-2=55+88-2=70, we are looking for values that accumulates 0.025 of the area on the right tail on the t distribution.

For this case the value is t_{1-\alpha/2}=1.66

Calculate the value of the test statistic for this hypothesis testing.

Since we have all the values we can replace in formula (1) like this:

t=\frac{360000-340000}{\sqrt{\frac{50000^2}{36}+\frac{40000^2}{36}}}}=1.874

What is the p-value for this hypothesis test?

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:

p_v =P(t_{70}>1.874)=0.033

Based on the p-value, what is your conclusion?

Comparing the p value with the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we reject the null hypothesis, and the true mean for the downtown revenue restaurant seems higher than the true mean revenue for the freeway restaurant.

The best option would be:

Yes, since the test statistic value is greater than the critical value.
