Find the value of x from the equation

Jobisdone [24]

$\dfrac{8^{3x}}{2^{10}}=\dfrac{4^{2x}}{16} \\\dfrac{2^{3(3x)}}{2^{10}}=\dfrac{4^{2x}}{4^2} \\2^{9x-10}=4^{2x-2} \\2^{9x-10}=2^{2(2x-2)} \\2^{9x-10}=2^{4x-4} \\9x-10=4x-4 \\5x-6=0 \\5x=6 \\\boxed{x=\dfrac{6}{5}}$

Hope this helps.

In 2008, data from the Center for Disease Control revealed that 28.5% of all male teenagers, aged 18-19 and attending U.S. colle

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

a) H0 : u = 28.5%

H1 : u < 28.5%

b) critical value = - 1.645

c) test statistic Z= - 1.41

d) Fail to reject H0

e) There is not enough evidence to support the professor's claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

P = 28.5% ≈ 0.285

X = 210

n = 800

$p' = \frac{X}{n} = \frac{210}{800} = 0.2625$

Level of significance = 0.05

a) The null and alternative hypotheses are:

H0 : u = 28.5%

H1 : u < 28.5%

b) Given a 0.05 significance level.

This is a left tailed test.

The critical value =

$-Z_0.05 = -1.645$

The critical value = -1.645

c) Calculating the test statistic, we have:

$Z = \frac{p' - P}{\sqrt{\frac{P(1-P)}{n}}}$

$Z = \frac{0.2625 - 0.285}{\sqrt{\frac{28.5(1-28.5)}{800}}}$

Z = -1.41

d) Decision:

We fail to reject null hypothesis H0, since Z = -1.41 is not in the rejection region, <1.645

e) There is not enough evidence to support the professor's claim that the proportion of obese male teenagers decreased.

Naddik [55]

Answer:

Company A is 1.99 times B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Company A charges:

$A=70.50+0.50=\$71/mile$

Company B charges:

$B=35.50+0.09=\$35.59/mile$

We just need to divide A by B:

$x=A/B=1.99$

Therefore, company A is 1.99 times B.

I hope it helps you!

Trains headed for destination A arrive at the train station at 15-minute intervals tarting at 7am, where as trains headed for de

grandymaker [24]

Answer: a.) 2/3 ; b.) 7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following details :

Destination A trains arrives at station at 15 minutes interval starting from 7am

Destination B trains arrives at station at 15 minutes interval starting from 7.05am

A.) if a passenger arrives at station uniformly between 7am and 8am and gets on first train. What proportion of time does the passenger leave from destination A?

To leave for destination A. The passenger has to arrive before train to A departs and after train to B leaves.

Train to B leaves, starting at at 7.05 a.m and at interval of 15 minutes

Train to A leaves at 7.00 am and at interval of 15 minutes.

Therefore,

(Train B departs - train A arrives) (between 7 to 8am)

(7.05 - 7.15) + (7.20 - 7.30) + (7.35 - 7.45) + (7.50 - 8.00) = 40 minutes

Total time = 7.00 - 8.00 = 60 minutes

(40 ÷ 60) = 2/3 or 0.667

B.) If passenger arrives uniformly between 7.10am - 8:10am

(7.10 - 7.15) + (7.20 - 7.30) + (7.35 - 7.45) + (7.50 - 8)

5 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 35

35/60 = 7/12 or 0.583
