I found that Joe has 28 red pepper plants and 8 green pepper plants.
to find this, I first set up a proportion:
7/2 = (20+x)/x
then you cross multiply giving you:
7x = 40 + 2x
Subtract 2x from both sides:
5x = 40
solve for x:
x = 8 (which is the amount of green pepper plants)
to find how many red pepper plants he has, plug in x for (20 + x) giving you 28 red pepper plants
Hope I helped :)
Answer:
30 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
A ratio of 4:3 means that if one part can be represented by x, the original height is equal to 4 * x and the mural height is equal to 3 * x. This is because the ratio of original : mural is 4 : 3, so if one part = x, we have 4 * x : 3 * x. Therefore,
original mast height = 40 feet
4 * x = original mast height = 40 feet
divide both sides by 4 to get x
x = 10 feet
3 * x = mural mast height = 3 * 10 feet = 30 feet
Answer:
just remember this:
negative x negative = positive
positive x positive = positive
postive x negative = negative
negative x postive= negative

Answer:
There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the technique performs differently than the traditional method.
Step-by-step explanation:
The null hypothesis is:
The alternate hypotesis is:
The test statistic is:
In which X is the sample mean, 
is the value tested at the null hypothesis, 
is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.
A researcher used the technique with 260 students and observed that they had a mean of 94 hours. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 6.
This means, respectively, that 
The test-statistic is:
The pvalue is:
2(P(Z < -2.69))
P(Z < -2.69) is the pvalue of Z when X = -2.69, which looking at the z-table, is 0.0036
2*(0.0036) = 0.0072
0.0072 < 0.01, which means that the null hypothesis is accepted, that is, there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the technique performs differently than the traditional method.
Answer:
3 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
If pay is for full quarter hours, then the worker won't get paid for work intervals of less than 15 minutes.
Subtract 7:34 from 11:48: we get 3:14 hours. Because the 14 minutes is less than the 15 minutes of a full quarter hour, the worker won't get paid for those 14 minutes.
So the 'number of hours worked' is 3 hours.
Note that 3:14 would be 3 hours 14 minutes.
