When a = 2a
 a-2a = 0
<span>-a = 0
how can  a = 0  ????
  
must be A = 2a</span>

'a' can't be uniquely found without some more information about the triangle. With only the given information, all we can say is that 5a must be at least 17. Is there a picture of the triangle ? Is there maybe possibly an angle given ? ?

A movie theater has a seating capacity of 329. The theater charges $5.00 for children, $7.00 for students, and $12.00 of adults.
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

170 children

74 students

85 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let:

C = Children; S = Students; A = Adults

For the capacity, we have:

C + S + A = 329

For the tickets sold, we have:

5C + 7S + 12A = 2388

Half as many as adults are children implies that:

A = \frac{C}{2}

Required

Solve for A, C and S

The equations to solve are:

C + S + A = 329 -- (1)

5C + 7S + 12A = 2388 -- (2)

A = \frac{C}{2} -- (3)

Make C the subject in (3)

C = 2A

Substitute C = 2A in (1) and (2)

C + S + A = 329 -- (1)

2A + S + A = 329

3A + S = 329

Make S the subject

S = 329 - 3A

5C + 7S + 12A = 2388 -- (2)

5*2A + 7S + 12A = 2388

10A + 7S + 12A = 2388

7S + 22A = 2388

Substitute S = 329 - 3A

7(329 - 3A) + 22A = 2388

2303 - 21A + 22A = 2388

2303 +A = 2388

Solve for A

A = 2388 - 2303

A = 85

Recall that: C = 2A

C = 2 * 85

C = 170

Recall that: S = 329 - 3A

S = 329 - 3 * 85

S = 329 - 255

S = 74

Hence, the result is:

C = 170

S = 74

A = 85

A psychological experiment was conducted to investigate the length of time (time delay) between the administration of a stimulus
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

The P-value of this sample is 0 and is less than the significance level (0.05), so the effect is significant and the null hypothesis is rejected.

As there is significant evidence to reject H_0: \mu= 1.6, we can say that there is significant evidence to claim that the mean time delay for the hypothetical population of all persons who may be subjected to the stimulus differs from 1.6 seconds.

The significance level for this test is 0.05.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, we want to prove if there is significant evidence that the mean differs from 1.6 seconds. That is the same as having evidence to reject the the hypothesis H_0:\mu= 1.6 (the null hypothesis always have the equal sign).

We have to test the null hypothesis

H_0:\mu= 1.6

The significance level for this test is 0.05

Calculation of the t-statistic:

t=\frac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}} =\frac{2.2-1.6}{0.57/\sqrt{36}} =\frac{0.6}{0.063}= 9.47

If we look up in a t-table for t=9.47 and df=(36-1)=35, we get this value appears with a probability of zero. A large number like that is very unlikely to happen.

The P-value of this sample is 0 and is less than the significance level (0.05), so the effect is significant and the null hypothesis is rejected.

As there is significant evidence to reject H_0: \mu= 1.6, we can say that there is significant evidence to claim that the mean time delay for the hypothetical population of all persons who may be subjected to the stimulus differs from 1.6 seconds.
