x + 3 < 4x - 12 or 4x - 12 < 20

-x -x +12 +12

3 < 3x - 12 or 4x < 32

+12 +12 ÷4 ÷4

15 < 3x or x < 8

÷3 ÷3

5 < x

5 < x < 8

Graph: 5 o---------------o 8

Answer:

5<x<8

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 3 < (4x – 12) < 20

Solve the inequality

x + 3 < 4x – 12 < 20

We break the inequality

x+3<4x-12 and 4x-12<20

solve it separately

x+3<4x-12

subtract 4x on both sides

-3x +3< -12

subtract 3 on both sides

-3x < -15

divide by -3 on both sides

x> 5

4x-12<20

add 12 on both sides

4x <32

divide by 4

x<8

x>5 and x<8

so x lies between 5 and 8, 5<x<8

the graph is attached below

a veterinary researcher takes an srs of 60 horses presenting with colic whose average age is 12 years. the average age of all ho

Ghella [55]

Answer:

The value 10 years is the population mean

Step-by-step explanation:

A sample consists of some observations drawn from the population, so a part or a subset of the population which in this case is the number of horses with colic.

A sample mean is the mean of the statistical samples while a population mean is the mean of the total population.

Thus, in this case, the sample mean is the mean age of the horses with colic while the population mean age is the mean age of all the horses found at the clinic.

Therefore, the mean age of 10 of the horses seen at the clinic would be the population mean.

Which of the following is the graph of 2x+3y=6

Bond [772]

Taking point (0,-2) of graph one and replacing in the equation;

2x+3y=6

2(0)+3(-2)=6

-6=6

So graph isn't the required graph.

Taking point (0,2) of graph 2;

2x+3y=6

2(0)+3(2)=6

6=6

So, graph 2 is the required graph.

Assume every 10-digit natural number is a possible telephone number except those that begin with 0, 1 or 2. What fraction of tel

lana [24]

Answer: 1/70

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a question that can also be interpreted as what is the probability of having the first number of a phone number to be 8 and the last number of the phone number to also be 8. This answer gives the fraction of the phone numbers that starts with 8 and end with 8.

Since three numbers (0,1,2) cannot start a phone number and we are left to pick from 7 numbers,

then the probability of figure "8" starting phone number = 1/7

Since all 10 numbers can possibly end a phone number,

then the probability of having figure "8" as the last digit of a phone number = 1/10

Hence probability of having "8" as the first and last digit of a phone number = fraction of total telephone numbers that begin with digit 8 and end with digit 8 = 1/7 × 1/10 = 1/70.

Jeff and Kirk can build a 75-ft retaining wall together in 4 hours. Because Jeff has more experience, he could build the wall

oee [108]

It will take Kirk about 8 hours 32 minutes to build the wall by himself.

<h3>What is Quadratic Polynomial?</h3>

Quadratic equations are second-degree algebraic expressions and are of the form ax² + bx + c = 0.

Here, Let k represent Kirk's time (in hours) to build the wall by himself. Then (k-1) is the time it takes for Jeff to build it. Their working-together rate in "walls per hour" is ...

1/k +1/(k -1) = 1/4

Multiplying by 4k(k-1), we have ...

4(k-1) +4k = k(k -1)

k² -9k = -4 . . . . . . . . subtract 8k and simplify

k² -9k +20.25 = 16.25 . . . . . add (9/2)² to complete the square

k -4.5 = √16.25 . . . . . . . . . take the square root

k = 4.5 +√16.25 ≈ 8.531129 . . . hours

The fractional hour is ...

0.531129 × 60 min ≈ 31.9 min ≈ 32 min

Thus, It will take Kirk about 8 hours 32 minutes to build the wall by himself.
