Answer:

The system of equations is

and

Fred's age is 36 years old and Nathan's age is 9 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

f -----> Fred's age

n ----> Nathan's age

we know that

-----> equation A

----> equation B

equate the equations and solve for n

Find the value of f

therefore

Fred's age is 36 years old and Nathan's age is 9 years old

Intellectual development (Perry) scores were determined for 21 students in a first-year, project-based design course. (Recall th

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval is (3.0493, 3.4907).

We are 99% sure that the true mean of the students Perry score is in the above interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

Our sample size is 21.

The first step to solve this problem is finding our degrees of freedom, that is, the sample size subtracted by 1. So

$df = 21-1 = 20$ .

Then, we need to subtract one by the confidence level $\alpha$ and divide by 2. So:

$\frac{1-0.99}{2} = \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.005$

Now, we need our answers from both steps above to find a value T in the t-distribution table. So, with 20 and 0.005 in the two-sided t-distribution table, we have $T = 2.528$

Now, we find the standard deviation of the sample. This is the division of the standard deviation by the square root of the sample size. So

$s = \frac{0.40}{\sqrt{21}} = 0.0873$

Now, we multiply T and s

$M = 2.528*0.0873 = 0.2207$

Then

The lower end of the interval is the mean subtracted by M. So:

$L = 3.27 - 0.2207 = 3.0493$

The upper end of the interval is the mean added to M. So:

$LCL = 3.27 + 0.2207 = 3.4907$

The 99% confidence interval is (3.0493, 3.4907).

Interpretation:

We are 99% sure that the true mean of the students Perry score is in the above interval.

Y=1/3x-3 Y=-x+5 How do I solve

ehidna [41]

Since both equations are equal to y, we can just combine them like this:

1/3x-3=-x+5

1/3x=-x+8

4/3x=8 (since x is 1x which is 3/3x)

x=6

Plug x back in:

y=-6+5

y=-1

So x=6 and y=-1

Hope this helped!

If two distinct planes intersect , then their intersection is a line . Which geometry term does the statement represent

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

POSTULATE

Step-by-step explanation:

A postulate is a statement that is assumed true without proof. A theorem is a true statement that can be proven

In geometry, the theorem is considered valid or correct with which its assertion is practically not refuted by almost anyone, whether it is really true or not.

This, in practice, implies that all students of the subject share the same criteria on the theory. Thus, the postulates, in short, have the following characteristics:

They are presumed true by most of the scholars in the field.

Its contradiction goes against the very essence of the subject.

Postulate 6: If two planes intersect, then their intersection is a line.

See Attachment for Details ^^

The image attached represents the statement given in the question (If two distinct planes intersect, then their intersection is a line)

Therefore,

The Geometry term that represents the statement above is POSTULATE
