Answer:

B = 68° and C = 22°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let angle B's measure be B and angle C's measure be C.

Also note that complementary means that they sum to 90.

Now:

The m∠B is two more than three times the measure of ∠C:

we can write:

B = 3C + 2

If ∠B and ∠C are complementary angles:

B + C = 90

Putting 1st equation in 2nd, we get:

B + C = 90

3C + 2 + C = 90

4C = 90 - 2

4C = 88

C = 88/4 = 22

Now B = 3C + 2, so

B = 3(22) + 2 = 68

Hence, B = 68 degrees and C = 22 degrees

For the following hypothesis test, determine the null and alternative hypotheses. Also, classify the hypothesis test as two-tail

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Option B:

$H_0: \mu = 22.1$

$H_a: \mu \neq 22.1$

Classification:

The hypothesis test is Two-tailed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean length of imprisonment for motor-vehicle theft offenders in this country is 22.1 months.

This means that the null hypothesis is that the mean is of 22.1 months, that is:

$H_0: \mu = 22.1$

A hypothesis test is to be performed to determine whether the mean length of imprisonment for motor-vehicle theft offenders in this city differs from the national mean of 22.1 months.

At the alternate hypothesis, we test if this mean is different of 22.1, that is:

$H_a: \mu \neq 22.1$

Which means that the answer is given by option b).

Which of the following is the correct classification of the hypothesis test?

We test if the mean is different from a value, which means that the hypothesis test is Two-tailed.

1) 1

2) 11

3) 4

4) D) Yes, the constant of variation is 3

Explanation

The slope of a line is given by

Slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (0 - -2)/(-4 - -6)

= 2/2

= 1

Slope = Δy/Δx

= (8 - -3)/(2 - 1)

= 11/1

= 11

Y varies directly as X. This is written as,

Y ∞ X

Put and equal sign then introduce the constant of proportionality, K.

Y = KX

K = Y/X

K = 6/18 = 1/3

∴ Y = (1/3)X

Y = (1/3) × 12

Y = 4

32Y = 96X

Dividing both sides by 32,

Y = 96/32 X

Y = 3X

3 been the constant, Y varies directly as X.

So, the equation 32y = 96x is a direct variation.

Constant of variation = 3

Solve for g in the proportion. 42/g = 14/10 g =

NeX [460]

Cross mutiply. 42*10= 420. 14*g= 14g

14g= 420

divide by 14 for both sides

14g/14= 420/14

g= 30

Check answer by using substitution method

42/30. Divide by 3 . 42/3= 14 , 30/3= 10

14/10 and 14/10 equal to each other by dividing 2.

14/2= 7 , 10/2= 5

7/5= 7/5

Answer: g= 30
