Answer:

The length of the short part is 37 inches, and the length of the other part is 74 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total length of the stick = 111 inches.

One piece is twice as long as the other.

To Find:

Length of the two pieces=?

Solution:

Let the length of one piece be n,

Then the other piece will be 2n.

Now, total length of stick = n + 2n

=>111 inches = 2n + n

=>111 = 3n

=> $n =\frac{111}{3}$

So, length of short path is 37 inches,

Then length of other part is

=> 2(n)

=>2(37)

=> 74 inches.

Hence, the length of the short part is 37 inches, and the length of the other part is 74 inches.

Let’s say that the other one is described as X. So if one piece is twice as long as the other one, it’ll be 2x.

2x + X =111
3x = 111
3x divided by 3= 111 divided by 3
X= 37

So 2x = 2(37) = 74
X = 37

74
+ 37

Answer:

$\text{Null hypothesis}: H_0:\mu=90\\\\\text{Alternative Hypothesis}:\mu\neq 90$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given claim : From the time shoots are planted 90 days on average are required to obtain the first berry.

. The sample mean is 92.3 days. The corporation wants to know if the mean number of days is different from the 90 days claimed.

As we know that the null hypotheses shows there is no statistical difference between the groups but the alternative hypothesis is opposite to it, it shows there is difference.

Thus , the correct hypotheses will be :-

$\text{Null hypothesis}: H_0:\mu=90\\\\\text{Alternative Hypothesis}:\mu\neq 90$

What is the coefficient of the x^5y^5- term in the biomial expansion of (2x-3y)^10

jasenka [17]

Answer:

The coefficient of $x^{5} \times y^{5} \text { is }=\left(252 \times 2^{5} \times(-3)^{5}\right)=252 \times 32 \times 243=1959552$

Solution:

The given expression is $(2 x-3 y)^{10}$

As per binomial theorem, we know,

$(x+y)^{n}=\sum n C_{k} x^{n-k} y^{k}$

Now here a = 2x, b = (- 3y) and n = 10 and k = 0,1,2,….10

Now $x^{5}\times y^5$ will be the 6 term where k =5

Now, $\mathrm{T}_{6}=10 \mathrm{C}_{5} \times(2 \mathrm{x})^{(10-5)} \times(-3 \mathrm{y})^{5}=10 \mathrm{C}_{5} 2^{5} \times \mathrm{x}^{5} \times(-3)^{5} \times \mathrm{y}^{5}$

So, the coefficient of $x^{5} \times y^{5} \text { is }=10\left(5 \times 2^{5} \times(-3)^{5}\right$ .

$10 \mathrm{C}_{5}=\frac{10 !}{5 ! \times(10-5) !}=\frac{10 !}{5 !+5 !}=\frac{10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 !}{5 ! \times 5 !}=\frac{10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6}{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}=\left(\frac{30240}{120}\right)=252$

The coefficient of $x^{5} \times y^{5} \text { is }=\left(252 \times 2^{5} \times(-3)^{5}\right)=252 \times 32 \times 243=1959552$
