Answer:

x-intercept: (-5,0)

y-intercept: (0,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

y-intercept: when x = 0

-3(0) + 5y = 15

5y = 15

y = 3

x-intercept: when y = 0

-3x + 5(0) = 15

-3x = 15

x = -5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x-intercept of – 3x + 5y = 15, let y = 0 and solve the remaining equation for x: – 3x + 5(0) = 15

Then -3x = 15, and x = -5. Thus, the x-intercept is (-5, 0).

to find the y-intercept of – 3x + 5y = 15, set x = 0 and solve the remaining equation for y: 5y = 15, so that y = 3. The y-intercept is (0, 3).

Answer:

$t_{\alpha/2} = t_{0.05/2} = t_{0.025} = 2.0322$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a sample of size n = 35, $\bar{x} = 92$ and $s = 5$ . As we want to construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate the value of the true population mean $\mu$ , we should use the pivotal quantity given by $T = \frac{\bar{X}-\mu}{S/\sqrt{n}}$ which comes from the t distribution with n - 1 = 35 - 1 = 34 degrees of freedom. Besides we should use the t-value $t_{\alpha/2} = t_{0.05/2} = t_{0.025} = 2.0322$ , i.e., regarding the t-distribution with 34 degrees of freedom, we have an area of 0.025 above 2.0322 and below the probability density function. The rationale behind this is that $P(-2.0322\leq T\leq 2.0322) = 0.95$ because of the simmetry of the t distribution.

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

$32.30 each week

Step-by-step explanation:

Deposit = 15% = $34.20

⇒ total cost of camp = (34.20 ÷ 15) x 100 = $228

Balance left after deposit = 228 - 34.20 = $193.80

If paying the remaining balance in 6 weekly installments,

⇒ weekly payment = 193.80 ÷ 6 = $32.30

Jaleel's house is 18 feet high. Jaleel, who is 5 feet tall, stands next to his house on a sunny day. How long is the shadow of J

viktelen [127]

Answer:

21 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

First you find the difference between Jadeel's height and Jadeel's shadow

8-5=3

So the difference is 3

Then you add it to the house shadow because it is how much extra foot high it is

So the house shadow is 21 feet
