Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the Physics book costs $x

The Chemistry book will cost $x - $6

Two such Chemistry books will cost;

2($x - $6) = $(2x - 12)

Three such Physics books cost $3x

$(2x - 12) + $3x = $123

$5x - $12 = $123

$5x = $111

x = $22\frac{1}{5}

So the Physics book costs;  $22\frac{1}{5}

and the Chemistry book costs  $22\frac{1}{5} - 6 =  $16\frac{1}{5}

Answer:

For 99% of confidence interval is 67.5±1.3524

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mean height =67.5 inches

Standard deviation:2.1 inches

Z at 99%.

No of samples 16.

To find:

confidence interval

Solution:

We have formula for confidence interval,

=mean ±Z*{standard deviation/sqrt(no.of observation)}

Now

Z=99%

has  standard  value as ,

Z=2.576

Confidence interval= mean±Z{standard deviation/sqrt(No. of samples)}

=67.5±2.57{(2.1/sqrt(16)}

=67.5±2.576(2.1/4)

=67.5±1.3524

42/50 in simplest form
gulaghasi [49]
To find the simpliest form of a fraction, all you need to do is divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, in which in this case, is 2. And so all you need to do is divide the numerator(42) and the denominator(50) by 2, to get 21/25. This means that the simpliest form of 42/50 is 21/25.
