Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

12/(x+2) = 4/(x-2)

Cross-multiply to get:

12x-24 = 4x+8

8x = 32

x = 4

A cheetah can run 70 mph. What is this speed in feet per hour
Rasek [7]
To answer this question you have to determine how many feet are in a mile and multiply it by 70. There are 5280 feet in a mile, so 5280 x 70= 369600. So he can run 369600ft in an hour. (im pretty sure lol, i feel like i may have misunderstood this question, are there any answer choices?)

Para embalar una caja se emplea 4,2 m de cinta adhesiva. ?Cuántas cajas se podrán embalar con tres rollos que tienen 3 hm, 7 dam
kompoz [17]

For this case, we perform the conversions:

First roll:

1 \ Hectometer --------> 100 \ meters\\3 \ Hectometer --------> x

x = \frac {3 * 100} {1}\\x = 300 \ meters.

We make a rule of three to determine the number of "c" boxes that can be packed with 300 meters of adhesive tape.

1 -----------> 4.2

c -----------> 300

c = \frac {300 * 1} {4.2}\\c = 71.42857143\\c = 71

You can pack 71 boxes.

Second roll:

1 \ Decametro --------> 10 \ meters\\7 \ Decameter --------> x\\x = \frac {7 * 10} {1}\\x = 70 \ meters.

We make a rule of three to determine the number of "c" boxes that can be packed with 70 meters of adhesive tape.

1 -----------> 4.2

c -----------> 70

c = \frac {70 * 1} {4.2}\\c = 16.66666667\\c = 16

You can pack 16 boxes.

Third roll:

1 -----------> 4.2

c -----------> 50

c = \frac {50 * 1} {4.2}\\c = 11.9047619\\c = 11

You can pack 11 boxes.

Thus, in total you can pack11 + 16 + 71 = 98 \ boxes

Answer:

98 boxes

According to an article in Newsweek, the natural ratio of girls to boys is 100:105. In China, the birth ratio is 100:114 (46.7%
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

z=\frac{0.42 -0.467}{\sqrt{\frac{0.467(1-0.467)}{150}}}=-1.154  

p_v =2*P(z  

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of girls born is not significantly different from 0.467

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=150 represent the random sample taken

X=63 represent the number of girls born

\hat p=\frac{63}{150}=0.42 estimated proportion of girls born

p_o=0.467 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion if girls is 0.467.:  

Null hypothesis:p=0.467  

Alternative hypothesis:p \neq 0.467  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:  

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion \hat p is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o.

Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.42 -0.467}{\sqrt{\frac{0.467(1-0.467)}{150}}}=-1.154  

Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level provided \alpha=0.05. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(z  

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of girls born is not significantly different from 0.467

If P = {3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19), what is n(P)?
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

the n(P) of P = {3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19} is "128".

Step-by-step explanation:

n(P) is the <u>Cardinality</u> of the set P. Its formula is 2^k.

where k = number of elements in the set.

Hope this helps :)
