Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 74 children in all, you'll subtract 74 from the total of girls, which is 38, to figure out how many boys there are. 74-38 = 36

3. Solve the inequality –2(z + 5) + 20 > 6.

12345 [234]

$\boxed{-2\left(z+5\right)+20>6\quad :\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:z$

Solution:

Given inequality is:

$-2(z+5)+20>6$

We have to solve the given inequality

$-2\left(z+5\right)+20>6\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}20\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\-2\left(z+5\right)+20-20>6-20\\\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\\\-2\left(z+5\right)>-14$

$Multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ -1\ \left(reverse\:the\:inequality\right)$

Whenever we multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number, we must flip the inequality sign

$\left(-2\left(z+5\right)\right)\left(-1\right)$

Thus the solution to inequality is:

$-2\left(z+5\right)+20>6\quad :\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:z$

The water works commission needs to know the mean household usage of water by the residents of a small town in gallons per day.

valina [46]

Answer:

A sample of 179 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.85}{2} = 0.075$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1 - \alpha$ .

That is z with a pvalue of $1 - 0.075 = 0.925$ , so Z = 1.44.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

A previous study found that for an average family the variance is 1.69 gallon?

This means that $\sigma = \sqrt{1.69} = 1.3$

If they are using a 85% level of confidence, how large of a sample is required to estimate the mean usage of water?

A sample of n is needed, and n is found for M = 0.14. So

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.14 = 1.44\frac{1.3}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.14\sqrt{n} = 1.44*1.3$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.44*1.3}{0.14}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.44*1.3}{0.14})^2$

$n = 178.8$

Rounding up

A sample of 179 is needed.

AC = Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

dusya [7]

Answer:

AC ≈ 5.03

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve the problem above using the trigonometric ratio, they are;

SOH CAH TOA

sin Ф = opposite / hypotenuse

cosФ= adjacent/ hypotenuse

tan Ф = opposite / adjacent

From the diagram above, in reference to angle B;

opposite =AC and adjacent =BC

Since we have opposite and adjacent, the best formula to use is

tanФ = opposite / adjacent

tan B = AC / BC

tan 40 = AC/ 6

Multiply both-side of the equation by 6

6× tan 40 = AC/ 6 × 6

At the right-hand side of the equation, 6 will cancel-out 6 leaving us with just AC

6×tan 40 = AC

5.034598 = AC

AC ≈ 5.03 to the nearest hundredths

What are the roots of the equation? x2−x−42=0 Enter your answers in the boxes.

Levart [38]

Answer:

x = 7 x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2−x−42=0

Factor

What two numbers multiply to -42 and add to -1

-7*6 = -42

-7+6 = -1

(x-7) (x+6) =0

Using the zero product property

x-7 =0 x+6 =0

x = 7 x = -6
