Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The only one of these possible answers that could be correct is the fourth one:

The product of a constant factor 5 and a 2-term factor x + 2. That '5' in front of (x+2) multiplies (x+2), and so the result is a product.

Answer: Correct critical value = 2.2622

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval for population mean when population standard deviation is unknown:

$\overline{x}\pm t_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ , where $\overline{x}$ = sample mean, n= sample size, s= sample standard deviation, $t_{\alpha/2}$ = two-tailed t value.

As per given: n= 10

degree of freedom : df = n-1=9

$\overline{x}=242.6\\\\s=73.33\\\\\alpha=5\%=0.05$

Critical t-value : $t_{\alpha/2,df}=t_{0.05/2,9}=t_{0.025,9}=2.2622$

So, the 95 percent confidence interval estimate for the mean :

$242.6\pm (2.2622)\dfrac{73.33}{\sqrt{10}}\\\\=242.6\pm (2.2622)(23.19)\\\\\approx242.6\pm52.46\\\\=(242.6-52.46,\ 242.6+52.46)\\\\=(190.14,\ 295.06)$

The 95 percent confidence interval estimate for the mean:(190.14, 295.06)

Luis skates 2/3 mile from his home to school. Isabella skates 2/4 mile to get to school. Who skates father?

iogann1982 [59]

In order to figure out whether Luis or Isabella skates farther to get to school, we have to create a common denominator between the two fractions that represent the distance that each person walks.

The least common denominator of 3 and 4 is 12. This means that we have to change both fractions into equal fractions with denominators of 12.

To figure this out, we must set up a proportion.
2/3 = x/12
To solve this proportion, we must cross-multiply the fractions. We get:
24 = 3x
If we divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 3, to get the variable x alone, we get:
x = 8

Therefore, 2/3 = 8/12, so Luis skates 8/12 mile from his home to school.

If we do the same process for the 2/4 mile to get to school for Isabella, we get 6/12, because both fractions are equal to 1/2.

Therefore, we know that Luis skates 8/12 mile to school and Isabella skates 6/12 mile to get to school. Because they have the same denominator, we can just compare the numerators. We know that 8 is greater than 6, thus Luis skates farther to get to school.

one number is four times as large as another if the numbers are added together the result is six less than seven times the small

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

The numbers are 12 and 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem by working with the information we have and setting up some equations.

We know that one number is four times as large as another. So, let the smaller number be represented by the variable x and the bigger number be represented by 4x, since it is four times as large.

Now, we know that if the numbers are added together, then the result is six less than seven times the smaller number. This can also be represented by the equation 4x + x = 7x - 6.

Let's solve that equation like so:

$4x + x = 7x - 6\\5x = 7x - 6\\-2x = -6\\x = 3$

So, the smaller number must be 3 (remember that x represented the smaller number). To find the bigger number, all we need to do is multiply 3 by 4, which gives us 12. Therefore, the numbers are 12 and 3.
