Answer:

He is reasonable to an extent, but he is not. He can saw 8 posts with the given materials.

Step-by-step explanation:

To make 9 posts. He would need 108 inches of material. He can only make 8 posts with the materials he has. With the remainder of the material he could possibly make 6/10ths of a post.

From a train station, one train heads north, and another heads east. Some time later, the northbound train has traveled 27 kilom
galben [10]

Answer: the eastbound train had travelled 12 miles
Explanation: using Pythagoras theorem, we know that
X^2 = a^2 + b^2
Where ^ stands for raised to power.
Let
a stand for the train going towards North and
b stands for the train going towards east.
X stands for the total distance between train a and b = 20 miles.
By Pythagoras rule
X^2 = a^2 + b^2
20^2 = 16^2 + b^2
400 = 256 + b^2 so that
b^2 = 400 - 256 = 144
b = √144
b = 12 miles.

A study is conducted to determine whether a new cancer drug increases the mean survival time by at least 30 days for a certain t
anygoal [31]

Answer:

H0: The new cancer drug increases the mean survival time by 30 days

Ha: The new cancer drug increases the mean survival time by 30 or more than 30 days.

If fail to reject H0 (the null hypothesis), the conclusion is that the new cancer drug increases the mean survival time by 30 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is a statement from a population parameter which is either rejected or accepted (fail to reject) upon testing. It is expressed using the equality sign.

The alternate hypothesis is also a statement from a population parameter which negates the null hypothesis and is accepted if the null hypothesis is rejected. It is expressed using any of the inequality signs.

The test is a two-tailed test because the alternate hypothesis is expressed using more than or equal to.

If I fail to reject H0, it means the test statistic falls within the region bounded by the critical values.

It would therefore be concluded that the new cancer drug increases the mean survival time by 30 days.

The thompson's need their garage door opener repaired. the table shows the service charge and hourly labor fees for two repair c
pentagon [3]
All you need to do here is know where and how to plug in the numbers. In each equation, you'll have an initial fee, and an hourly fee, so your equation will be
y = i + hx, where i = the initial fee, and h = the hourly fee

So, after plugging them in, here's what you get:
Doors Galore: y = 40 + 50x
G&H: y = 60 + 40x
