The capacities of two trucks are 3 tons and 4 tons respectively. If the smaller truck makes 18 more trips than the larger, it ca

n deliver 12 more tons of freight than the larger. How many trips does each truck make? Let x represent the number of trips that the larger truck makes. Which of the following equations could be used to solve the problem?
4x - 3(x + 18) = 12
3(x + 18) - 4x = 12
3x - 4(x + 18) = 12

Let's assume

x represent the number of trips that the larger truck makes

so, we are given

If the smaller truck makes 18 more trips than the larger

so,

number of trips for larger truck =x

number of trips for smaller  truck =x+18

The capacities of two trucks are 3 tons and 4 tons respectively

so, capacity of smaller truck per trip =3 tons / trip

total ton carried by smaller truck = (number of trips for smaller  truck)*(capacity of smaller truck per trip)

now, we can plug values

total ton carried by smaller truck =3*(x+18)

total ton carried by larger truck = (number of trips for larger  truck)*(capacity of larger truck per trip)

total ton carried by larger truck =4x

it can deliver 12 more tons of freight than the larger

so, we get

3(x+18)=4x+12

we can move 4x on left side

we get

3(x+18)-4x=12...............Answer

Use a spinner to find the theoretical probability of spinning an even number. What is the theoretical probability of spinning an
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

4/8

Step-by-step explanation:

There are half even and half odd numbers on a spinner so it is 1/2 of 8 which is 4. Then you put the 4 over 8 to gain your probability.

laila [671]

Answer:

17-2.262\frac{1.9}{\sqrt{10}}=15.641    

17+2.262\frac{1.9}{\sqrt{10}}=18.359    

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (15.641;18.359)    

And since the lower limit for the confidence interval is higher than 15 we can conclude that at 5% of significance the true mean is higher than 15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

\bar X=17 represent the sample mean

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s=1.9 represent the sample standard deviation

n=10 represent the sample size  

Confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

In order to calculate the critical value t_{\alpha/2} we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

df=n-1=10-1=9

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,9)".And we see that t_{\alpha/2}=2.262

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

17-2.262\frac{1.9}{\sqrt{10}}=15.641    

17+2.262\frac{1.9}{\sqrt{10}}=18.359    

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (15.641;18.359)    

And since the lower limit for the confidence interval is higher than 15 we can conclude that at 5% of significance the true mean is higher than 15 cm

On a coordinate plane, a circle has a center at (negative 2, 0). Point (negative 2, 4) lies on the circle.
wlad13 [49]

The correct answer to where the point(1, StartRoot 7 EndRoot) lies on the circle is A. Yes, the distance from (–2, 0) to (1, StartRoot 7 EndRoot) is 4 units

<h3>What is a Coordinate Plane?</h3>

This refers to the tool that is used to graph points on a two-dimensional plane that intersects two number lines.

Hence, given the information in the given diagram, there is a coordinate plane that shows a circle at the center that has certain values on the y and x-axis.

We can state that the point (1, StartRoot 7 EndRoot) lies on the circle shown because the distance from (–2, 0) to (1, StartRoot 7 EndRoot) is 4 units.
