Answer: Value of x is used to consider unknown value. The letter “x” is commonly used in algebra to indicate an unknown value. It is referred to as a “variable” or, in some cases, a “unknown.” In x + 2 = 7, x is a variable. ... A variable need not be “x,” but might be “y,” "w," or any other letter, name, or symbol
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's list the lengths of the sides in descending order.
Lengths of sides of quadrilateral ABCD: 20, 18, 14, a
Lengths of sides of quadrilateral EFGH: b, c, 6, 5
From the listings above, we see that he sides measuring 14 and 6 are corresponding.
We are looking for c which corresponds to 18.
14 is to 6 is as 18 is to c
14/6 = 18/c
7/3 = 18/c
7c = 3 * 18
7c = 54
c = 54/7 = 7 5/7
Answer: 7 5/7 feet
Solution :
Let
and
represents the proportions of the seeds which germinate among the seeds planted in the soil containing
and
mushroom compost by weight respectively.
To test the null hypothesis
against the alternate hypothesis
.
Let
denotes the respective sample proportions and the
represents the sample size respectively.




The test statistic can be written as :

which under
follows the standard normal distribution.
We reject
at
level of significance, if the P-value
or if 
Now, the value of the test statistics = -1.368928
The critical value = 
P-value = 

= 0.171335
Since the p-value > 0.05 and
, so we fail to reject
at
level of significance.
Hence we conclude that the two population proportion are not significantly different.
Conclusion :
There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the
of the seeds that
with the percent of the
in the soil.
Answer:
y = 20x + 25
Step-by-step explanation:
y is the total
25 dollars to start plus the 20 dollars per month
Given:
n = 27, sample size
df = n-1 = 26, degrees of freedom
xb = 11.8, sample mean
s = 2.3, sample standard deviation.
Because population statistics are not known, we should use the Student's t-distribution.
At 99% confidence interval, the t-value = 2.779 (from tables).
The confidence interval is
11.8 +/- 2.779*(2.3/√(27)) = 11.8 +/- 1.23 = (10.57, 13.03)
Answer: (10.6, 13.0) to the nearest tenth
