Answer:

The shorter piece is 10 in. and the longer one is 50 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's set the shorter piece to be length x. Then the longer piece is 5x, or 5 times longer than the shorter piece.

Since both pieces combined equals to the length of the entire board, we can set these two lengths equal to it:

x + 5x = 60

And now solve for x:

6x = 60

x = 10 in (length of shorter piece)

Now let's find the length of the longer piece:

Longer = 5x = 5(10) = 50 in.

mezya [45]

Answer:

The confidence interval is (24116.3878,24883.6122).

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Population mean, \mu = $23,500

Sample mean,\bar{x} = $24,500

Sample standard deviation,s = $2,800

Sample size, n =  146

Confidence interval:

\bar{x} \pm t_{critical}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}  

Putting the values, we get,

t_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = \pm 1.655436

24500 \pm 1.65543(\frac{2800}{\sqrt{146}} ) = 24500 \pm 383.6122 = (24116.3878,24883.6122)

The confidence interval is (24116.3878,24883.6122).

Alisiya [41]

Answer: They will charge same amount for 360 minutes of calls.

Step-by-step explanation:

A phone company offers two monthly plans plan A cost $9 Plus And additional 0.12 $ for each minute of calls. Plan B cost $27 plus an additional $0.07 for each minute of calls

For what amount of calling do the two plans cost the same?

Let the each minute of calls be 'x'.

So, for plan A would be

plan A cost $9 Plus And additional 0.12 $ for each minute of calls is expressed as

y_1=9+0.12x

Plan B cost $27 plus an additional $0.07 for each minute of calls is expressed as

y_2=27+0.07x

According to question, it becomes,

y_1=y_2\\\\9+0.12x=27+0.07x\\\\0.12x-0.07x=27-9\\\\0.05x=18\\\\x=\dfrac{18}{0.05}\\\\x=360

Hence, they will charge same amount for 360 minutes of calls.
