we know that Bob can do the whole job in 14 hours, how much of the work has he done in 1 hour only?  well since he can do the whole lot in 14 hours in 1 hour he has only done 1/14 th of the job.

we know that James can do it in 18 hours, a bit slower, so in 1 hour he has done only 1/18 th of the job.

let's say it takes both of them working together say "t" hours, so in 1 hour Bob has done (1/14) of the work whilst James has done (1/18) of the work, the whole work being t/t or 1 whole, so for just one hour that'd 1/t done by both Bob and James.

\bf \stackrel{Bob}{\cfrac{1}{14}}~~+~~\stackrel{James}{\cfrac{1}{18}}~~=~~\stackrel{total~for~1~hour}{\cfrac{1}{t}} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{using an LCD of 126}}{\cfrac{9+7}{126}=\cfrac{1}{t}}\implies \cfrac{16}{126}=\cfrac{1}{t}\implies 16t=126\implies t=\cfrac{126}{16} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{7 hrs, 52 minutes and 30 seconds}}{t=\cfrac{63}{8}\implies t=7\frac{7}{8}}\implies \stackrel{\textit{rounded up}}{t=7.88}

Answer:

m<Q = 133°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

m<P = (x + 13)°

m<Q = (10x + 13)°

m<R = (2x – 2)°

m<Q =?

Next, we shall determine the value of x. This can be obtained as follow:

m<P + m<Q + m<R = 180 (sum of angles in a triangle)

(x + 13)° + (10x + 13)° + (2x – 2)° = 180

x + 13 + 10x + 13 + 2x – 2 = 180

x + 10x + 2x + 13 + 13 – 2 = 180

13x + 24 = 180

Collect like terms

13x = 180 – 24

13x = 156

Divide both side by 13

x = 156 / 13

x = 12

Finally, we shall determine m<Q. This can be obtained as follow:

m<Q = (10x + 13)°

x = 12

m<Q = 10(12) + 13

m<Q = 120 + 13

m<Q = 133°

Below are three different hypothesis tests about population proportions. For each test, use StatKey and the information given to
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

1a) p-hat=0.38

1b) P=0.08

1c) The null hypothesis is not rejected

2a) p-hat=0.64

2b) P=0.0027

2c) The null hypothesis is rejected

3a) p-hat=0.55

3b) P=0.153

3c) The null hypothesis is not rejected

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) H0: p = 0.3 vs Ha: p ≠ 0.3. In their survey, they had a count of 38 using a sample size n=100.

1a) The p-hat is p-hat=38/100=0.38.

1b) The standard deviation is

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.3*0.7}{100}}=0.046

The sample size is n=100.

The z-value is:

z=\frac{\hat{p}-p}{\sigma}=\frac{0.38-0.3}{0.046}=\frac{0.08}{0.046}= 1.74

As it is a two-sided test, the p-value considers both tails of the distribution.

The p-value for this |z|=1.74 is P=0.08.

1c) The null hypothesis is not rejected.

(2) H0: p = 0.7 vs Ha: p ≠ 0.7. In their survey, they had a count of 320 using a sample size n=500.

2a) The p-hat is p-hat=320/500=0.64.

2b) The standard deviation is

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.7*0.3}{500}}=0.02

The sample size is n=500.

The z-value is:

z=\frac{\hat{p}-p}{\sigma}=\frac{0.64-0.7}{0.02}=\frac{-0.06}{0.02}=-3

As it is a two-sided test, the p-value considers both tails of the distribution.

The p-value for this |z|=3 is P=0.0027.

2c) The null hypothesis is rejected.

(3) H0: p = 0.6 vs Ha: p < 0.6. In their survey, they had a count of 110 using a sample size n=200.

2a) The p-hat is p-hat=110/200=0.55.

2b) The standard deviation is

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.6*0.4}{200}}=0.035

The sample size is n=200.

The z-value is:

z=\frac{\hat{p}-p}{\sigma}=\frac{0.55-0.6}{0.035}=\frac{-0.05}{0.035}=-1.43

As it is a two-sided test, the p-value considers both tails of the distribution.

The p-value for this |z|=1.43 is P=0.153.

2c) The null hypothesis is not rejected.

What is the radius of a sphere which area is equal to the sum of the areas of four circles of radius 7?
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

radius = 7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Radius = 7 units

Find area of 4 circles:

1 circle = π (7)² = 49π units²

4 circles = 49π x 4 = 196π units²

Find radius of sphere:

4πr²  = 196π

r² = 49

r = 7
