Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let    pickle bought by alexa =x

then according to given condition ,

pickle bought by Tom= (1/3) of Alexa

pickle bought by Tom= (1/3) x

hence also given

totall pickle cost = Tom cost + alexa cost = 56p

(1/3)x+x=56

taking L.C.M

(4/3)x=56

x=56*3/4

x=42 p

so it means,

<h2>Alexa cost = x = 42p</h2><h2>Tom cost = (1/3)x= (1/3)*42 = 14 p</h2>

Suppose that the exam scores for students in a large university course are normally distributed with an unknown mean and standar
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Critical value t-score=2.701.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we calculate a confidence interval with an unknown population standard deviation, we estimate it from the sample standard deviation and use the t-score instead of the z-score.

The critical value for t depends on the level of confidence and the degrees of freedom.

If the sample size is 42, the degrees of freedom are:

df=n-1=42-1=41

For a confidence level of 99% and 41 degrees of freedom, the critical value of t is t=2.701.

What is the answer to 8x-9=12+11x
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

8x - 9 = 12 + 11x

Subtract 11x to both sides of the equation. Then, it will look like this:

-3x - 9 = 12

Add 9 to both sides of the equation. After that, it will look like this:

-3x = 21

Divide both sides of the eqution by -3. Your answer is:

x = -7
