64+(2x)=35(x-1)
expand
64+2x=35x-35
minus 2x from both sides
64=33x-35
add 35 to both sides
99=33x
divide both sides by 33
3=x
the number is 3

A recent study of 26 city residents showed that the time they had lived at their present address has a mean of 10.3 years with t

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval is $9.15< \mu < 11.45$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is n = 26

The mean is $\= x = 10.3$

The standard deviation is $s = 3$

From the question we are told the confidence level is 95% , hence the level of significance is

$\alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%$

=> $\alpha = 0.05$

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96$

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

$E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }$

=> $E = 1.96 * \frac{3}{\sqrt{26} }$

=> $E = 1.1532$

Generally 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as

$\= x -E < \mu < \=x +E$

=> $10.3 -1.1532 < \mu < 10.3 + 1.1532$

=> $9.15< \mu < 11.45$

there are 320 seats in the airplane. passengers are taking 3/5 of the seats. There are 47 seats being used by flight attendants.

iogann1982 [59]

Answer: 124

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 320 by 3/5 (.6) and you will get 192. Then you subtract 320 by 47 and get 316. You subtract 192 from 316 and get 124.

A spray irrigation system waters a section of a farmer’s field. If the water shoots a distance of 85 feet, what is the area that

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

3,781

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we will find the area of the whole circle and use that to find teh area of the 60º section.

First, recognize the formula for the area of a circle:

A = 3.14 $r^{2}$

In this scenario, the radius (<em>r</em>) is 85 feet:

A = 3.14(85 $)^{2}$

A circle is 360º and we only require the area of 60º. 360º / 60º = 6 so we will divide by 6:

A = $\frac{3.14(85)^{2} }{6}$

Finally, we will simplify and round:

A = 3,781
