Answer:

Total number of pages is 540.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let mark read x be he number of pages per day and d be the number of days to finish the book.

Total number of pages = xd

Mark reads 18 pages less per day than originally planned, he will need 5 extra days to finish the book.

$(x-18)(d+5)=xd$

$xd+5x-18d-90=xd$

$5x-18d=90$ .... (1)

He reads 24 pages less per day, he will need 8 extra days to finish.

$(x-24)(d+8)=xd$

$xd+8x-24d-192=xd$

$8x-24d=192$

$x-3d=24$ ... (2)

Subtract 5 times of equation (2) from equation (1).

$5x-18d-5(x-3d)=90-5(24)$

$5x-18d-5x+15d=90-120$

$-3d=-30$

$d=10$

Substitute d=10 in equation (1).

$5x-18(10)=90$

$5x-180=90$

$5x=90+180$

$5x=270$

Divide both sides by 5.

$x=54$

Total number of pages

$xd=(54)(10)=540$

Therefore , the total number of pages is 540.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer: 166.67π

Step-by-step explanation:

150/360 x π x 20²

Because the answer is in pi, we times 150/360 by 20² and pop the pi sign next to it

150/360 x 20² = 166.66667

and when we put the pi sign it is

166.67 π

Tell whether the relation is a function.

pshichka [43]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to tell if a relation is a function is to look at the x coordinates. If none of them are the same in the set, then the relation is a function. If any of the x values are used more than once in the set, it is only a relation. This set uses -3 two times, so it is a relation.

20=8+3(12+4x) Please help<br> It's really hard

nataly862011 [7]

So first, you have to remember the order of operations. That means that whatever is in the parentheses is what has to be done first
However, because one of the numbers in the parentheses is a variable and the other isn't, we can distribute instead
Therefore, 3(12+4x) distributes by multiplying the 3 into both numbers in the parentheses. So we get 36+12x
Now the equation is 20=8+36+12x
Now, bring all numbers without variables on the left side

20-8-36=8-8+36-36+12x
20-8-36=12x

Now simplify

20-8-36=12x
12-36=12x
-24=12x

Divide both sides by 12, and you get x=-2

Hope this helped!!! :D

A county is considering rasing the speed limit on a road because they claim that the mean speed of vehicles is greater than 30 m

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

No, at alpha equals 0.10, we do not have enough evidence to support the county's claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a county is considering raising the speed limit on a road because they claim that the mean speed of vehicles is greater than 30 miles per hour.

A random sample of 15 vehicles has a mean speed of 31 miles per hour and a standard deviation of 4.7 miles per hour.

<em><u>Let </u></em> $\mu$ <em><u> = true mean speed of the vehicles.</u></em>

SO, <u>Null Hypothesis</u>, $H_0$ : $\mu \leq$ 30 miles per hour {means that the mean speed of vehicles is lesser than or equal to 30 miles per hour}

<u>Alternate Hypothesis,</u> $H_A$ : $\mu$ > 30 miles per hour {means that the mean speed of vehicles is greater than 30 miles per hour}

The test statistics that will be used here is <u>One-sample t test statistics</u> as we don't know about the population standard deviation;

T.S. = $\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ $t_n_-_1$

where, $\bar X$ = sample mean speed of 15 vehicles = 31 mph

s = sample standard deviation = 4.7 mph

n = sample of vehicles = 15

So, <em><u>test statistics</u></em> = $\frac{31-30}{\frac{4.7}{\sqrt{15} } }$ ~ $t_1_4$

= 0.824

<u><em>Hence, the value of test statistics is 0.824.</em></u>

<em />

<em>Now at 0.10 significance level, the t table gives critical value of 1.345 at 14 degree of freedom for right-tailed test. Since our test statistics is less than the critical value of t as 0.824 < 1.345, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region.</em>

<em />

Therefore, we conclude that the mean speed of vehicles is lesser than or equal to 30 miles per hour which means that the county's claim is not supported.
