Answer:

The answer is " red cups is "5.25""

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

red paint= 3\frac{1}{2}= \frac{7}{2} =3.5

yellow paint= 4\frac{1}{2}= \frac{9}{2} =4.5

total cups=12        

i) The Ratio of red and yellow  is= 3.5 : 4.5

If the red cups are= \frac{3.5}{8}

number of red cups:

\to \frac{3.5}{8}\times 12\\\\\to \frac{3.5}{2}\times 3\\\\\to 3.5\times 1.5\\\\\to 5.25

ii)

\to 3.5x+4.5x=12......(a)\\\\\to 8x=12\\\to x=\frac{12}{8}\\\\\to x=\frac{3}{2}\\\\

put the value of x in equation (a):

\to 3.5 \times \frac{3}{2}+4.5\times  \frac{3}{2}=12\\\\\to 35 \times \frac{3}{20}+45\times  \frac{3}{20}=12\\\\\to 5.25+6.75=12

iii)

if \frac{4.5}{8} \times 12= 6.75 yellow cups used in making orange paint

so, red paint +yellow paint = total cups

let, red paint cups =x

⇒x+6.75=12

⇒x=12-6.75

⇒x=5.25

The value of red cups is 5.25.

In an experiment, some diseased mice were randomly divided into two groups. One group was given an experimental drug, and one wa
damaskus [11]

Answer:

D)Yes, because the difference in the means in the actual experiment was more than two standard deviations from 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will test the hypothesis on the difference between means.

We have a sample 1 with mean M1=18.2 (drug group) and a sample 2 with mean M2=15.9 (no-drug group).

Then, the difference between means is:

M_d=M_1-M_2=18.2-15.9=2.3

If the standard deviation of the differences of the sample means of the two groups was 1.1 days, the t-statistic can be calculated as:

t=\dfrac{M_d-(\mu_1-\mu_2)}{s_{M_d}}=\dfrac{2.3-(0)}{1.1}=2.09

The critical value for a two tailed test with confidence of 95% (level of significance of 0.05) is t=z=1.96, assuming a large sample.

This is approximately 2 standards deviation (z=2).

The test statistict=2.09 is bigger than the critical value and lies in the rejection region, so the effect is significant. The null hypothesis would be rejected: the difference between means is significant.

A triangle has side lengths of (2b+c)(2b+c) centimeters, (7b+4d)(7b+4d) centimeters, and (6d+2c)(6d+2c) centimeters. Which expre
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

(9b + 3c + 10d)cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sides of a triangle expressed as (2b+c), (7b + 4d) and (6d+2c). The perimeter of the triangle is the sum of all the sides of the triangles.

Perimeter of the triangle = 2b+c + 7b+4d + 6d+2c

Perimeter of the triangle = 2b + 7b + c + 2c + 4d + 6d

Perimeter of the triangle = 9b + 3c + 10d

Hence the perimeter of the triangle is (9b + 3c + 10d)cm
