Answer:

x=11, y=8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider quadrilateral LMNO. If this quadrilateral MUST BE a parallelogram, then

LM=NO

and

LO=MN

Thus,

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}4x+4=5x-7\\ \\x-7=3y-4\end{array}\right.$

Solve this system of two equations. From the first equation:

$4x-5x=-7-4\\ \\-x=-11\\ \\x=11$

Substitute it into the second equation:

$11-7=3y-4\\ \\3y-4=4\\ \\3y=4+4\\ \\3y=8\\ \\y=\dfrac{8}{3}$

What is the volume of a sphere with a diameter of 7.9 ft

vovangra [49]

Answer:

V ≈ 258 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

I given the diameter d= 7.9 ft so the radius is r = d/2 = 7.9/2 ft

Volume of a sphere is

V = (4/3) π·r³ = (4/3) · π · (7.9/2)³ = 258.1546167 ft³

In a random sample of 18 families, the average weekly food expense was $95.60 with a sample standard deviation of $22.50. Determ

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

t-distribution should be used to construct a confidence interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a random sample of 18 families, the average weekly food expense was $95.60 with a sample standard deviation of $22.50.

We have to determine whether a normal distribution (Z values) or a t- distribution should be used or whether neither of these can be used to construct a confidence interval.

Since in this question we are provided with;

Sample average weekly food expense, $\bar X$ = $95.60

Sample standard deviation, s = $22.50

Sample of families, n = 18

The distribution that we will use here to construct a confidence interval will be t-distribution because in the question we don't know anything about population standard deviation $(\sigma)$ .
