Answer:

In 7 Years

Step-by-step explanation:

Ellen's age = x

Joan's age = x + 5

3 Years ago

(x-3)+(x+5-3)=17

2x+5-6=17

2x=18

x=9

Hence Joan's age is 9+ 5 = 14

21 - 14 = 7

In 7 years Joan will be 21 years old

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
 We have then:
 x: number of years of Joan y: number of years of ellen We now write the system of equations:
 y = x + 5

 (x-3) + (y-3) = 17
 Solving the system we have:
 x = 9

 y = 14
 So that Joan is 21 years old then:
 j + 9 = 21

 j = 21 - 9

 j = 12
 Answer:
 joan will be 21 years old in 12 years

A manufacturer considers his production process to be out of control when defects exceed 3%. In a random sample of 100 items, th
pochemuha

Answer:

The p-value of the test is of 0.2776 > 0.01, which means that the we accept the null hypothesis, that is, the manager's claim that this is only a sample fluctuation and production is not really out of control.

Step-by-step explanation:

A manufacturer considers his production process to be out of control when defects exceed 3%.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the production process is in control, that is, the defective proportion is of 3% or less. So

H_0: p \leq 0.03

At the alternate hypothesis, we test if the production process is out of control, that is, the defective proportion exceeds 3%. So

H_1: p > 0.03

The test statistic is:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, \sigma is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.03 is tested at the null hypothesis

This means that \mu = 0.03, \sigma = \sqrt{0.03*0.97}

In a random sample of 100 items, the defect rate is 4%.

This means that n = 100, X = 0.04

Value of the test statistic:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

z = \frac{0.04 - 0.03}{\frac{\sqrt{0.03*0.97}}{\sqrt{100}}}

z = 0.59

P-value of the test

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample proportion above 0.04, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of z = 0.59.

Looking at the z-table, z = 0.59 has a p-value of 0.7224

1 - 0.7224 = 0.2776

The p-value of the test is of 0.2776 > 0.01, which means that the we accept the null hypothesis, that is, the manager's claim that this is only a sample fluctuation and production is not really out of control.

Factor this polynomial expression.
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor x^2+8x+16, you have to find two numbers that add up to 8 and multiply to your constant, 16. 4 and 4 fit these requirements so you can factor them as (x+4)(x+4). Hope I explained it okay :)
