Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The time for each canoe is 3.5 hours

The total distance traveled by the first canoe is not known. Nor is the distance for the second canoe. We do know that the difference is 5.25 miles.

So let the rate of the slower canoe = x

Let the rate for the second canoe = 2x

The first canoe goes a distance of 2*x * 3.5 = 7x

The second canoe goes a distance of 3.5x

The difference = 7x - 3.5x = 5.25

3.5x = 5.25                                       divide by 3.5

x = 5.25/3.5

x = 1.5 which is the rate of the slower canoe

2x = 3  which is the rate of the faster canoe

A 99% confidence interval for the mean μ of a population is computed from a random sample and found to be 6 ± 3. We may conclude
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

A. there is a 99% probability that μ is between 3 and 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

From a random sample, we build a confidence interval, with a confidence level of x%.

The interpretation is that we are x% sure that the interval contains the true mean of the population.

In this problem:

99% confidence interval.

6 ± 3.

So between 6-3 = 3 and 6 + 3 = 9.

So we are 99% sure that the true population mean is between 3 and 9.

So the correct answer is:

A. there is a 99% probability that μ is between 3 and 9.

Graph the solution on the number line |x-3| <5
Anettt [7]

Answer:

-2<x<8

see below for graph

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to solve the inequality.

Inequality: |x-3|<5

Split into two equations:

x-3<5

x-3>-5 (notice how the sign is flipped when we make the number negative)

let's start with x-3<5

add 3 to both sides

x<8

now

x-3>-5

add 3 to both sides

x>-2

The graph is below

the intersection is the solution.

Notice how I made the maroon line go to the right- which shows that it's greater than (for x>-2) and the silver line go to the left, which shows that it's less than (for x<8)

the equation is -2<x<8

Hope this helps!

elixir [45]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

X = 5 goes to two different values of y so it is not a one to one correspondence.  This is a relation not a function.
