Duval County Landscaping uses two different sized trucks to deliver mulch. The first truck can transport x cubic yards of mulch,

and the second can transport y cubic yards of mulch. The first truck makes 12 trips to a job site, while the second makes 14 trips. Create an expression that represents the difference in the total number of cubic yards that the first truck delivers compared to the second.

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
 We have then:
 x: number of cubic yards of mulch that first truck can transport
 y: number of cubic yards of mulch that second truck can transport
 Now we write the expression.
 The first truck makes 12 trips to a job site:
 12x

 The second makes 14 trips:
 14y

 The difference between the first truck and the second truck is:
 12x - 14y
 Answer:
 
An expression that represents the difference in the total number of cubic yards that the first truck delivers compared to the second is:
 
12x - 14y

Uber simple. You're trying to find the difference in amount that truck one can carry compared to truck two. Truck two can make 14 trips and truck one can make twelve. To show the DIFFERENCE (Huge hint), you use the equation 12x-14y.

Assume that the helium porosity (in percentage) of coal samples taken from any particular seam is normally distributed with true
aev [14]
A) 4.85\pm0.29
B) 4.56\pm0.45

We first find the z-score associated with the level of confidence.  For 95% confidence:
Convert 95% to a decimal:  0.95
Subtract from 1:  1-0.95 = 0.05
Divide by 2 (this is the area in the tails):  0.05/2 = 0.025
Subtract from 1 (we don't want the tails, we want the area in the middle):  1-0.025 = 0.975

Using a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we find the z-score for this is 1.96.  We now use the formula
\overline{x} \pm z*(\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})&#10;=4.85\pm 1.96*(\frac{0.75}{\sqrt{25}})=4.85\pm0.294\approx 4.85\pm 0.29

For a 98% confidence level:
Convert 98% to a decimal:  0.98
Subtract from 1:  1 - 0.98 = 0.02
Divide by 2:  0.02/2 = 0.01
Subtract from 1:  1 - 0.01 = 0.99

Using the z-table we see the closest number to this is for the z-score 2.33:
\overline{x} \pm z* (\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})&#10;=4.56\pm 2.33*(\frac{0.75}{\sqrt{15}})=4.56\pm0.45
