Answer:

C. 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the brother's age be x.

Let the sister's age be y.

x = y + 12

x - 4 = 3y

Put x as y + 12 in the second equation.

y + 12 - 4 = 3y

y + 8 = 3y

8 = 3y - y

8 = 2y

y = 4

Put y as 4 in the first equation.

x = 4 + 12

x = 16

The brother is 16 years old and the sister is 4 years old.

Answer:

C. 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Brother - b years now.

Sister - s years now.

A brother is 12 years older than his sister.

b - s = 12

(b - 4) - brother 4 years ago.

Four years ago, the brother was 3 times as old as the sister is now.

b - 4 = 3s

b - s = 12 ----> s = b - 12

b - 4 = 3s

b - 4 = 3(b - 12)

b - 4 = 3b - 36

36 - 4 = 3b - b

32 = 2b

b = 16

Answer: x^4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Rewrite the expression in fraction form:

(3√x²)^6 = x^(2/3)^6

2 is the exponent, so when written in fraction form, it is the numerator. 3 is the index or root, so in fraction form it is the denominator.

2. Solve:

x^(2/3)^6 = x^(12/3) = x^4

Because the exponent 2/3 is raised to the power of 6, you can use the power rule, which basically just means that whenever an exponent is raised to an exponent, multiply them. So, 2/3 * 6 equals 12/3, and 12/3 equals 4, making your answer x^4.

A true/false test has 40 questions. Suppose a passing grade is 30 or more correct answers. Test the claim that a student knows m
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

z≈3.16

p≈0.001

we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the student knows more than half of the answers and is not just guessing in 0.05 significance level.

Step-by-step explanation:

As a result of step 2, we can assume normal distribution for the null hypothesis

<em>step 3:</em>

z statistic is computed as follows:

z=\frac{X-M}{\frac{\sqrt{p*(1-p)} }{\sqrt{N} } } where

  • X is the proportion of correct answers in the test (\frac{30}{40})
  • M is the expected proportion of correct answers according to the null hypothesis (0.5)
  • p is the probability of correct answer (0.5)
  • N is the total number of questions in the test (40)

z=\frac{0.75-0.50}{\frac{\sqrt{0.5*(0.5)} }{\sqrt{40} } } ≈ 3.16

And corresponding p value for the z-statistic is p≈0.001.

Since p<0.05, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the student knows more than half of the answers and is not just guessing in 0.05 significance level.
