Answer:

Not that I'm a chemistry expert but mathematically,The total weight of the bar is directly proportional to the known weight of the bar and the given percentage. I worked it out and found that the the total weight of the bar is 30 ounces. This is how I did it

Step-by-step explanation:

80:24

100:n

80(n)=100×24

A little equation and after it's solve the variable (n) will be equal to 30

The unit is added after calculations so that's how the answer is <em><u>3</u></em><em><u>0</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>oun</u></em><em><u>ces</u></em>

Pie

Answer:

$x = 9.4$

$y = 17.7$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The figure

Required: Find x and y

The relationship between length x, length 15 and angle 32 is as follows:

$tan \theta = \frac{opp}{adj}$

So, we have:

$tan\ 32= \frac{x}{15}$

Cross multiply:

$x =15*tan\ 32$

$x = 15 * 0.6248693519$

$x = 9.3730402785$

$x = 9.4$ --- approximated

Similarly:

The relationship between length y, length 15 and angle 32 is as follows:

$cos \theta = \frac{adj}{hyp}$

So, we have:

$cos\ 32= \frac{15}{y}$

Cross Multiply:

$y * cos\ 32= 15$

Solve for y

$y = \frac{15}{cos\ 32}$

$y = \frac{15}{0.84804809615}$

$y = 17.6876760506$

$y = 17.7$ --- approximated

The director of a state agency believes that the average starting salary for clerical employees in the state is less than $30,00

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

The test statistics is $z = -1$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is n = 100

The null hypothesis is $H_o : \mu = \$30000$

The alternative hypothesis is $H_a : \mu < \$ 30000$

The sample mean is $\= x = \$29,750$

The standard deviation is $\sigma = \$2,500$

The level of significance is $\alpha =0.05$

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

$z = \frac{\= x - \mu }{ \frac{ \sigma}{ \sqrt{n} } }$

=> $z = \frac{29750 - 30000 }{ \frac{ 2500}{ \sqrt{100} } }$

=> $z = -1$

What is the following product?

Leona [35]

Answer:

First option: 6y^2sqrt(10) + 12sqrt(5y)

Step-by-step explanation:

3sqrt(10) * (2y^2 + 2sqrt(2y)

= 6y^2sqrt(10) + 6sqrt(20y)

= 6y^2sqrt(10) + 12sqrt(5y)

find the length of the base of a square pyramid if the volume is 1,024 cubic inches and has a height of 12 inches. (6 points) 4

Leokris [45]

To solve, we use the volume of a square pyramid formula which is expressed as the product of the area of the base (a²) and the height divided by three(h/3).

Volume = a² (h/3)
1024 in³ = (a²) (12 in/3)
a² = 1024 in³ · 3 /12
a = √256 in²
a = 16 in

Thus, the length of the base is 16 in.
