Answer:

Equation: 3x + 2 = 50

# of friends: 16

Step-by-step explanation:

3 chocolates each or 3x because what "each" means is not known yet-

3x

<em>Note: Always use x for an unknown value</em>

2 remaining chocolates-

3x + 2

50 total chocolates-

3x + 2 = 50

Remove two to keep the x alone-

3x = 48

Remove the 3 or the "Coefficient" by dividing-

48/3 = 16

x = 16

Equation: 3x + 2 = 50

# of friends: 16

A line segment has endpoints A(4, 8) and B(2, 10). The point M is the midpoint of AB. What is an equation of a line perpendicula
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
I)

The Midpoint M of the line segment AB is found using the Midpoint formula:

M=( \frac{4+2}{2} , \frac{8+10}{2})=(3, 9)

ii)

the slope of the line through A and B is found by the slope formula:

m= \frac{y_1-y_2}{x_2-x_1}= \frac{10-8}{2-4}= \frac{2}{-2}=-1

iii)

the product of the slopes of 2 perpendicular lines is -1, so the slope of the line perpendicular to the line through A and B is -1/(-1)=1

iv) 

the equation of the line with slope 1, which contains point M(3, 9) is found by the slope point form equation of a line:

y-9=1(x-3)

y-9=x-3

y=x+6


Answer: y=x+6

Answer:

The  test statistic is  t  = 3.744

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The population mean is  \mu  =  140

  The  The  level of significance is  \alpha  =  0.05

  The  sample size is  n =  18

   The  null hypothesis is  H_o :  \mu =  140

    The  alternative hypothesis is  H_a  :  \mu > 140

    The sample mean is  \= x  =  155

     The  standard deviation is  \sigma  =  17

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

       t  =  \frac{\= x  - \mu }{ \frac{ \sigma}{ \sqrt{n} } }

substituting values

      t  =  \frac{ 155  - 140 }{ \frac{ 17 }{ \sqrt{18} } }

      t  = 3.744
