Answer:

The waste management company employs 125000 workers and the recycling industry employs 1150000 workers.

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven:

The recycling industry employs approximately 1,025,000 more workers than the waste management company.

Together they provide 1,275,000 jobs.

Now, to find how many jobs does each industry provide.

Let the waste management company employs workers be x.

And the recycling industry employs be 1,025,000+x.

Total they provide = 1,275,000.

According to question:

x+(x+1025000)=1275000.

2x+1025000=1275000.

Subtracting both sides by 1025000 we get:

2x=250000.

Dividing both sides by 2 we get:

x=125000.

So, the waste management company employs workers = 125,000.

And, the recycling industry employs workers = 1,025,000+125,000=1150000.

Therefore, the waste management company employs 125000 workers and the recycling industry employs 1150000 workers.

  • Option C
  • Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let's simplify this further to get our answer.</u>

  • -5/6(12 - 6x + 18y)
  • => -60/6 + 30x/6 - 90y/6
  • => -10 + 5x - 15y

Looking at the options, we can say that Option C and B are correct.

A journal article reports that a sample of size 5 was used as a basis for calculating a 95% CI for the true average natural freq
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Lower = 231.134- 3.098=228.036

Upper = 231.134+ 3.098=234.232

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".

\bar X represent the sample mean for the sample  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n=5 represent the sample size  

Solution to the problem

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

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

And for this case we know that the 95% confidence interval is given by:

\bar X=\frac{233.002 +229.266}{2}= 231.134

And the margin of error is given by:

ME = \frac{233.002 -229.266}{2}= 1.868

And the margin of error is given by:

ME= t_{\alpha/2} \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df = n-1 = 5-1=4

And the critical value for 95% of confidence is t_{\alpha/2}= 2.776

So then we can find the deviation like this:

s = \frac{ME \sqrt{n}}{t_{\alpha/2}}

s = \frac{1.868* \sqrt{5}}{2.776}= 1.506

And for the 99% confidence the critical value is: t_{\alpha/2}= 4.604

And the margin of error would be:

ME = 4.604 *\frac{1.506}{\sqrt{5}}= 3.098

And the interval is given by:

Lower = 231.134- 3.098=228.036

Upper = 231.134+ 3.098=234.232

irinina [24]

Answer:6

Step-by-step explanation:

If we know that the formula of a rectangular prism is length * width * height, and we know the height and width are 7 and 9, the length is the only thing that is left. The volume is 378, and so now we have:

length * 7 * 9 = 378. Dividing the 9 and 7, we get 378/(9*7). The length is 6.
