Denzel can mow 1/8 of his yard every 7 minutes. If he had 40 minutes to mow 3/4 of the yard, will he have enough time

Mathematics

Answer:

No. He is short by 2 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Denzel can mow 1/8 of his yard every 7 minutes.

Hence he can mow the full yard in 7(8) = 56 minutes.

Now he has to do 3/4 of his yard and time is 40 minutes

For 3/4 of yard time taken would be = 3/4 (56) = 42 minutes.

If he had 40 minutes to mow 3/4 of the yard, he will not have enough time since he is short of time by 2 minutes.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Area of triangle = (1/2) * base * height = 0.5 * 8 * 6 = 24 ft²

Area of square = 8 ft * 8 ft = 64 ft²

The area of the triangle is 24 ft² while the area of the square is 64 ft²

2 The value of y is directly proportional

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

y = 17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y is directly proportional to x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of proportion

To find k use the condition y = 35 when x = 140, then

35 = 140k ( divide both sides by 140 )

0.25 = k

y = 0.25x ← equation of proportion

When x = 70, then

y = 0.25 × 70 = 17.5

An SRS of 350 high school seniors gained an average of x¯=21 points in their second attempt at the SAT Mathematics exam. Assume

Lynna [10]

Answer:

a) $21-2.58\frac{52}{\sqrt{350}}=13.83$

$21+2.58\frac{52}{\sqrt{350}}=28.17$

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (13.83;28.17)

b) $ME=2.58\frac{52}{\sqrt{350}}=7.17$

c) $ME=2.58\frac{52}{\sqrt{100}}=13.42$

d) D. Decreasing the sample size increases the margin of error, provided the confidence level and population standard deviation remain the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Part a

$\bar X=21$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma=52$ represent the population standard deviation

n=350 represent the sample size

99% confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

Since the Confidence is 0.99 or 99%, the value of $\alpha=0.01$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.005,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=2.58$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$21-2.58\frac{52}{\sqrt{350}}=13.83$

$21+2.58\frac{52}{\sqrt{350}}=28.17$

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (13.83;28.17)

Part b

The margin of error is given by:

$ME=2.58\frac{52}{\sqrt{350}}=7.17$

Part c

The margin of error is given by:

$ME=2.58\frac{52}{\sqrt{100}}=13.42$

Part d

As we can see when we reduce the sample size we increase the margin of error so the best option for this case is:

D. Decreasing the sample size increases the margin of error, provided the confidence level and population standard deviation remain the same.

Seven increased by the<br> product of two numbers

Kobotan [32]

Answer: x ≥ 5

Step-by-step explanation:

7 is increased by the product of a number and 3: 7 + 3x

Is at least 22: ≥ 22

Your equation is: 7 + 3x ≥ 22

subtract 7 from both sides

3x ≥ 15

divide both sides by 3

x ≥ 5
