Answer:

1/3 of the kids are boys

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 9 kids total and 3 boys, 3 out of 9 kids are boys. We can turn this statement into a fraction like so:

3/9

Now we need to simplify. In order to do so, we need to find a number that goes into both the numerator and denominator. Well, 3 goes into 3 one time and 3 goes into 9 three times. Now we can simplify the fraction like this:

1/3

So, 1/3 of the kids are boys.

Hope this helped! Let me know if you have any more questions! :)

Answer:

f (3) is equal to 31

Step-by-step explanation:

f (3) means that x is equal to 3 [hence f (x) ---> f (3)]

Plugin 3 into all the x values to solve:

4(3)^2 - 2(3) + 1

4(9) - 6 + 1

36 - 6 + 1

30 + 1

31

f (3) is equal to 31

Hypothesis Testing for Means with Small Samples
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The variable of interest is

X: volume of root beer in a Windsor Bottling Company can.

A sample of n=24 cans was taken and their contents measured, resulting:

X[bar]= 11.4 oz

S= 0.62 oz

Assuming that the variable has a normal distribution X~N(μ;σ²), the parameter of interest is the average contents of the root beer cans of the Windsor Bottling Company (μ)

The claim is that the population mean content of the cans is different from 12 oz, symbolically: μ ≠ 12

The statistical hypothesis (Null and alternative) have to be complementary, exhaustive and mutually exclusive. The null hypothesis is the "no change" hypothesis and always carries the "=" sign.

If the claim is μ ≠ 12, its complement is μ = 12, the expression carrying the "=" sign will be the null hypothesis and its complement will be the alternative hypothesis:

H₀: μ = 12

H₁: μ ≠ 12

α: 0.05

To test the population mean of this normal population, you have to apply a one sample t-test, with statistic:

t= \frac{X[bar]-Mu}{\frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } } ~t_{n-1}

t_{H_0}= \frac{11.4-12}{\frac{0.62}{\sqrt{24} } } = -4.74

This test is two-tailed, using the critical value approach, you have to determine two rejection regions. Meaning, you'll reject the null hypothesis to small values of the statistic or to high values of the statistic.

t_{n-1;\alpha /2}= t_{23;0.025}= -2.069

t_{n-1;1-\alpha /2}= t_{23;0.975}= 2.069

The decision rule is:

If t_{H_0} ≤ -2.069 or if t_{H_0} ≥ 2.069, then you reject the null hypothesis.

If -2.069 < t_{H_0} < 2.069, then you do not reject the null hypothesis.

The value is less than the left critical value, the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

Then you can say that with a 5% significance level, there is significant evidence to reject the null hypothesis, then the average amount of root beer of the Windsor Bottling Company is different from 12 oz, this means that the claim about the amount of root beer in the cans is correct.

I hope it helps!

The triangles below are similar. Find x showing the proportion and all work.
zavuch27 [327]

we are given that

two triangles are similar

so, the  ratio of their sides must be same

we get

\frac{2}{6} =\frac{x}{x+2}

now, we can solve for x

step-1: Cross multiply both sides

2(x+2) =6x

step-2: Simplify left side

2x +4 =6x

step-3: Subtract both sides by 2x

2x +4-2x =6x-2x

4 =4x

step-4: Divide both sides by 4

x=1

so,

x=1............Answer

R^2+8r=-7<br>solve the equation with the quadratic formula showing work
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

r²+8r=−7

Step 1: Subtract -7 from both sides.

r²+8r−(−7)=−7−(−7)

r²+8r+7=0

Step 2: Use quadratic formula with a=1, b=8, c=7.

r=r=\frac{-b+or-\sqrt{-4ac}  }{2a}

r=\frac{-8+or-\sqrt{(8})^2-4(1)(7) }{2(1)}

Please help! you have to find the surface area of the inage below!
viva [34]
Your answer would be 64 in².

To find the surface area, you just need to find the area of each of the shapes shown and add them together.
We can find the area of one of the triangles by doing:
(base × height)/2
(6 × 4)/2 = 24/2 = 12

As there are 4 identical triangles, the area of all of them would be 12 × 4 = 48 in².

Now we need to find the area of the square in the middle, which would be 4 × 4 = 16 in².

Adding these together gives us 16 + 48 = 64 in²

I hope this helps!
