Answer:

x>7 or x ≤ -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving the 1st inequality

-6x +14 < -28 --------------- (Collect like terms)

-6x < -28 - 14

-6x < - 42 -------------------- (Divide both sides by -6)

Note: If you decide an inequality expression by a negative value, the inequality sign changes)

-6x/-6 > -42/-6

x > 7

Solving the 2nd inequality

9x + 15 ≤ −12 ----------- (Collect like terms)

9x ≤ −12 - 15

9x ≤ −27 ------------------(Divide both sides by 9)

9x/9 ≤ −27/9

x ≤ -3

Bring both results together, we get

x>7 or x ≤ -3

The final result is complex (i.e. can't be combined together).

A physicist examines 25 water samples for nitrate concentration. The mean nitrate concentration for the sample data is 0.165 cc/

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

The 80% confidence interval for the the population mean nitrate concentration is (0.144, 0.186).

Critical value t=1.318

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate a 80% confidence interval for the mean.

The population standard deviation is not known, so we have to estimate it from the sample standard deviation and use a t-students distribution to calculate the critical value.

The sample mean is M=0.165.

The sample size is N=25.

When σ is not known, s divided by the square root of N is used as an estimate of σM:

$s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{N}}=\dfrac{0.078}{\sqrt{25}}=\dfrac{0.078}{5}=0.016$

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

$df=n-1=25-1=24$

The t-value for a 80% confidence interval and 24 degrees of freedom is t=1.318.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

$MOE=t\cdot s_M=1.318 \cdot 0.016=0.021$

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

$LL=M-t \cdot s_M = 0.165-0.021=0.144\\\\UL=M+t \cdot s_M = 0.165+0.021=0.186$

The 80% confidence interval for the population mean nitrate concentration is (0.144, 0.186).

Omari and his two cousins received the same amount of money to go to the movies. Each boy spent $15. Afterward, the boys had $30

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Each boy recieved $25.25 each

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you add up all the money the 3 boys spent.

15+15+15=45

Then you add the sum of the equation to the amount all the boys had afterward.

45+30.75=75.75

Finally, you divide that product to 3 boys.

75.75/3=25.25

Therfore the answer is $25.25 each.

Find X (Its a circle question, PLEASE HELP)

mario62 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since angles in the same segment are equal, Angle ABC (x) = Angle AOC.

Since Angles AOC and COD are supplementary, Angle AOC = 180° - 130° = 50°

Therefore x = 50°.
