Answer:

2 or 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer that we will use this equation 1/t1 +1/t2=1/ttotal

where t1 is the time of smaller pipe while t2 is the of the larger pipe

Given t total =4 while t2 is equal to t2=t1-6

So know you can solve the problem by changing it into (2t1-6)/(t1*(t1-6))=1/4

8( t1-3)=(t1^2-6t1)

t1^2-14t1+24=0

t1=2 or 12

Conduct the appropriate hypothesis test and compute the test statistic. A company that produces fishing line undergoes random te

andre [41]

Answer:

Option D) Yes, because the test statistic is -2.01

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 30 pound

Sample mean, $\bar{x}$ = 29.1 pounds

Sample size, n = 20

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation, s = 2 pounds

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

$H_{0}: \mu = 30\text{ pounds}\\H_A: \mu < 30\text{ pounds}$

We use one-tailed(left) t test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

$t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} }$

Putting all the values, we have

$t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{29.1 - 30}{\frac{2}{\sqrt{20}} } = -2.012$

Now,

$t_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance, 19 degree of freedom } = -1.729$

Since,

$t_{stat} < t_{critical}$

We fail to accept the null hypothesis and reject it. We accept the alternate hypothesis. Thus, there were enough evidence to conclude that the fishing line breaks with an average force of less than 30 pounds.

Option D) Yes, because the test statistic is -2.01

A bookshelf is 42 inches long. How many books of length 1\frac{1}{2}1 2 1 inches will fit on the bookshelf? Explain your reaso

Blababa [14]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question isn't well written but I saw an identical question:

A bookshelf is 42 inches long. Each book is 1 1/4 inches wide. How many books will fit on the shelf?

For us to solve this, we would divide the length of the bookshelf by the width of each book. This would be:

= 42 ÷ 1 1/4

= 42 ÷ 5/4

= 42 × 4/5

= 33 3/5

Therefore, the number of books that will fit on the shelf is 33.

The function Q(x)=2x^2-kx+18. For what value of k does Q(x) have one distinct real solution? (NEEDS TO BE DONE WITHIN 2 HOURS!)

Aliun [14]

Answer:

k = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The equation $Q(x)=2x^2-kx+18$

To find:

Value of $k = ?$ for which the given equation has one distinct real solution.

Solution:

The given equation is a quadratic equation.

There are always two solutions of a quadratic equation.

For the equation: $ax^{2} +bx+c=0$ to have one distinct solution:

$b^2 - 4ac = 0$

Here,

a = 2,

b = -k and

c = 18

Putting the values, we get:

$(-k)^2 - 4\times 2\times 18 = 0\\\Rightarrow k^2 = 18\times 8\\\Rightarrow k^2 =144\\\Rightarrow k = 12$

The equation becomes:

$Q(x)=2x^2-12x+18$

And the one root is:

$2(x^2-6x+9 ) = 0\\\Rightarrow 2(x-3)^2=0\\\Rightarrow x = 3$
