Answer:

the answer is about 141.18 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

solve this problem by setting up a proportion. 85/100 = 120/x. then solve for x by cross-multiplying. 85x = 120*100. then simplify. x= 2400/17 or 141.18

Answer:

Area= 247 feet²

Volume= 1235 feet³

Step-by-step explanation:

A storage pod has a rectangular floor that measures 19 feet by 13 feet and a flat ceiling that is 5 feet above the floor.

Area of the floor= length*width

Length= 19 feet

Width= 13 feet

Area= 19*13

Area= 247 feet²

Volume of the pod= area*height

Height of the pod= 5 feet

Area= 247 feet²

volume= 247*5

Volume= 1235 feet³

A rental car company claims the mean time to rent a car on their website is 60 seconds with a standard deviation of 22 seconds.
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Since the calculated value of Z does not fall in the critical region we accept our null hypothesis that mean = 60 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

State the null hypothesis

H0: u = 60against the claim

Ha u≠   60   (this is a two tailed test)

Sample size n= 36

Sample mean=X`= 55

Population mean = u= 60

The significance level α = 0.05

Standard deviation= Sd = 22 seconds

Z= X`- u / Sd /√n

Z= 55- 60 / 22/√6

z= - 5/22/6

Z= -1.3635

The value of z from the table is Z∝/2= ±1.96

The critical region is less than - 1.96 and greater than 1.96.

Since the calculated value of Z does not fall in the critical region we accept our null hypothesis that mean = 60 seconds

1. Find ordered pairs ( 1 , -4 ) ( 3, 3)
The formula is
M= y2 - y1
_____
X2- X1
2. Replace the numbers
M = 3 - 4.
———
1-3
Subtract
3. You get -1/-2
4. Divide you get 0.5
( but if you need rise and run use -1/-2) rise top run bottom
Slope is 0.5 I think
