It is 6 units because if you divide 9 by 3 you get 3 and you multiple that by 2 to make it 6:9 which is equal to 2:3

What is the product of the tens on 14 and 42

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

The product of the tens in these two numbers is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

TO find this, first we need to find the number in the tens place for each of them. The tens place is the second from the decimal point.

14

42

Now we take these two and multiply them together to get the product.

1 * 4 = 4

Answer: second option

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a quadratic equation is:

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

Then, to write the quadratic equation given in the problem in standard form, you must substract 1 from both sides of the equation. Then you have:

$2x^2+5x-1=0$

Given the quadratic equation above, to find the value of $b^2-4ac$ you must substitute:

a=2; b=5 and c=-1 into $b^2-4ac$

Thenrefore, you obtain the following result:

$5^2-4(2)(-1)=33$

If Jim works at Fire Fighting Equipment, has $32,874 in sales in one week,

maria [59]

Gross income= $813.61
Step-by-step explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales= $32,874
Fixed salary= $452
Commission= 1.1% paid on sales in excess of $25,000.
To calculate the gross income, we need to use the following formula:
Gross income= 452 + y*x
y= percentage comission
x= sales
For $32,874 sales:
Gross income= 452 + 0.011*32,874
Gross income= $813.61

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

The critical t-value for such a test given an alpha level of 0.05 is 2.26

Step-by-step explanation:

Null hypothesis : $H_0:\mu = 7.5$

Alternate hypothesis : $H_a:\mu \neq 7.5$

Population mean = $\mu = 7.5$

Data : 10, 9, 6, 11, 13, 14, 9, 9, 9, and 10

Mean = $\bar{x}=\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{no. of observations}}$

Mean = $\frac{10+9+6+11+13+14+9+9+ 9+ 10}{10}$

Mean =10

Standard deviation : $\sqrt{\frac{\sum(x-\bar{x})^2}{n}}$

Standard deviation : $\sqrt{\frac{(10-10)^2+(9-10)^2+(6-10)^2+(11-10)^2+(13-10)^2+(14-10)^2+(9-10)^2+(9-10)^2+(9-10)^2+(10-10)^2}{10}}$

Standard deviation s :2.144

$t = \frac{x-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}t = \frac{10-7.5}{\frac{2.144}{\sqrt{10}}}t=3.687$

Df = n-1 = 10-1 = 9

T critical = $t_{(df,\alpha)}=t_(9,0.05)=2.26$

T calculated > T critical

So, We failed to accept null hypothesis

Hence the critical t-value for such a test given an alpha level of 0.05 is 2.26
