Answer:

Rounded down to the nearest foot, the length of the garden is nine feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We're told that the length of the chicken coop, 3x + 12 feet, is equal to the length of the garden, 6x - 16 feet.  Let's put them together then and solve for x:

3x + 12 = 6x - 16

First, we'll subtract 6x from both sides

3x - 6x + 12 = 6x - 6x - 16

-3x + 12 = -16

Now we subtract 12 from both sides:

-3x + 12 - 12 = -16 - 12

-3x = -28

Finally divide both sides by -3

-3x / -3 = -28 / -3

x = 28/3

x = 9 and 1/3

As the question asks for the number of feet only (not inches), the answer is nine feet.

A third of a foot though is four inches, so the more exact answer is nine feet and four inches, or 9'4"

According to a Washington Post-ABC News poll, 331 of 502 randomly selected U.S. adults interviewed said they would not be bother
k0ka [10]

Answer:

z=\frac{0.659 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{502}}}=7.124  

p_v =P(z>7.124)=5.24x10^{-13}  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of interest is significantly higher than 0.5.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=502 represent the random sample taken

X=331 represent the adults that said they would not be bothered if the NAtional security agency

\hat p=\frac{331}{502}=0.659 estimated proportion of people who would not be bothered if the NAtional security agency

p_o=0.5 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.01 represent the significance level

Confidence=99% or 0.99

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion is higher than the majority of 0.5:  

Null hypothesis:p\leq 0.5  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.5  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:  

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion \hat p is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o.

Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.659 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{502}}}=7.124  

Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level provided \alpha=0.01. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(z>7.124)=5.24x10^{-13}  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of interest is significantly higher than 0.5.

11.REINFORCE The lengths of three sides of a triangle are 2x, 3x - 4, and x+4. Find a value of x that makes the triangle equilat
mash [69]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

It suffices to equate any two sides and then check whether the solution is valid for the third side.

Taking 2x and 3x-4 and equating:

2x = 3x-4

x = 4

This means the sides are both of length 8. Now check whether for x=4 the third side is also of length 8:

x+4=4+4=8

which indeed works out confirming x=4 being a valid solution

Is the expression x3•x3•x3 equivalent to x3•3•3
avanturin [10]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

So I'll assume that x3 is 3x -->

so 3x • 3x • 3x =? to 3x • 3 • 3?

You can first simplify this to 3^3x =? to 3x • 9 -->

27x =? to 3x • 9 => so there are many solutions but if per say x = 5 then yes it would be equal.

Check with another number per instance 8

27(8) = 216 => 24(9) = 126

Yes they are equal

Hope this helps!
