Answer:

Let the x = # of pies Larry ate

Jesse ate 2x-5 pies

Total = 16

Your equation is:

x + (2x-5)=16

3x-5=16

3x=21

x = 7

Larry ate 7 pies.

Which is bigger 40% of 200 or 1/3 of 150
Gnesinka [82]
First find out what 40% of 200 is
200 times .4 is 80

then find out what 1/3 of 150 is
divide 150 by three, which is 50
if it was 2/3 instead of 1/3, you would multiply 50 by 2

40% of 200 is greater

Answer: 1.25 square feet

This converts to the improper fraction 5/4

===========================================================

Explanation:

The area of the triangle on the left is base*height/2 = 0.5*2/2 = 0.5 square feet. Note that 1/2 = 0.5

The area of the triangle on the right side is base*height/2 = 0.2*3/2 = 0.75 square feet. This converts to the fraction 3/4

Add up the two results: 0.5+0.75 = 1.25 square feet

-----------

If you need the answer as an improper fraction, then,

1.25 = 1 + 0.25

1.25 = 1 + 1/4

1.25 = 4/4 + 1/4

1.25 = (4+1)/4

1.25 = 5/4

Suppose the parent population has an exponential distribution with a mean of 15 and standard deviation of 12. Use the Central Li
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The sampling distribution of the sample mean of size 30 will be approximately normal with mean 15 and standard deviation 2.19.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For the population, we have that:

Mean = 15

Standard deviaiton = 12

Sample of 30

By the Central Limit Theorem

Mean 15

Standard deviation s = \frac{12}{\sqrt{30}} = 2.19

Approximately normal

The sampling distribution of the sample mean of size 30 will be approximately normal with mean 15 and standard deviation 2.19.

I’m not sure with this question help!

Answer:  C.) 3 to the power of negative two, 1.3 x 10 to the power of negative one, 1/3, and 3 squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 to the power of negative 2 = 0.11111111111

3 squared is 1.73205080757

1.3 x 10 to the power of negative 1 = 0.13

1/3 converted to a decimal is 0.333

Now that we know what everything equals we know that anything that doesn't start with 3 squared is right and a little cheat is that only one of them start with 1/3 so we know that the second biggest is 1/3 so it is C.) 3 to the power of negative two, 1.3 x 10 to the power of negative one, 1/3, and 3 squared.
