Answer: The answer is (C) 324 cubic cm.

Step-by-step explanation: As given in the question, given a solid oblique pyramid with a regular hexagonal base and area 54√3 cm². Also, the edge length of the base is 6cm and ∠BAC = 60°.

We are to find the volume of the pyramid.

The formula for finding the volume of a pyramid is given by

$V=\dfrac{1}{3}b\times h,$

where, 'b' is the base area and 'h' is the perpendicular height of the pyramid.

Here, b = 54√3 cm², h = ?

Now, from the right-angled triangle ABC, we have

$\dfrac{\textup{BC}}{\textup{AC}}=\tan 60^\circ\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{h}{6}=\sqrt 3\\\\\Rightarrow h=6\sqrt 3.$

Therefore, the volume of the pyramid is

$V=\dfrac{1}{3}b\times h=\dfrac{1}{3}\times 54\sqrt 3\times 6\sqrt 3=324.$

Thus, the required volume is $V=324~\textup{cm}^3.$ This makes (C) as the correct option.

Answer:

The Decision Rule

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion

There is no sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean age of the cars is greater than that of taxi

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The data is

Car Ages 4 0 8 11 14 3 4 4 3 5 8 3 3 7 4 6 6 1 8 2 15 11 4 1 6 1 8

Taxi Ages 8 8 0 3 8 4 3 3 6 11 7 7 6 9 5 10 8 4 3 4

The level of significance $\alpha = 0.05$

Generally the null hypothesis is $H_o : \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 0$

the alternative hypothesis is $H_a : \mu_1 - \mu_2 > 0$

Generally the sample mean for the age of cars is mathematically represented as

$\= x_1 = \frac{\sum x_i }{n}$

=> $\= x_1 = \frac{4+ 0+ 8 +11 + \cdots + 8
}{27}$

=> $\= x_1 = 5.56$

Generally the standard deviation of age of cars

$\sigma _1 = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x_i - \= x)^2}{n_1} }$

=> $\sigma _1 = \sqrt{\frac{(4 - 5.56)^2 + (0 - 5.56)^2+ (8 - 5.56)^2 + \cdots + 8}{ 27} }$

=> $\sigma _1 = 3.88$

Generally the sample mean for the age of taxi is mathematically represented as

$\= x_2 = \frac{\sum x_i }{n}$

=> $\= x_2 = \frac{8 +8 +0 + \cdots + 4
}{20}$

=> $\= x_2 = 5.85$

Generally the standard deviation of age of taxi

$\sigma _2 = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x_i - \= x)^2}{n_1} }$

=> $\sigma _2 = \sqrt{\frac{(8 - 5.85)^2 + (8 - 5.85)^2+ (0 - 5.85)^2 + \cdots + 8}{ 20} }$

=> $\sigma _2 = 2.83$

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

$t = \frac{(\= x_ 1 - \= x_2 ) - 0}{\sqrt{\frac{\sigma^2_1}{n_1} + \frac{\sigma^2_2}{n_2} } }$

=> $t = \frac{(5.56 - 5.85 ) - 0}{\sqrt{\frac{(3.88)^2}{27} + \frac{(2.83)}{20} }}$

=> $t = -0.30$

Generally the degree of freedom is mathematically represented as

$df = n_1 + n_2 -2$

$df = 27 + 20 -2$

$df = 45$

From the t distribution table the $P(t > t )$ at the obtained degree of freedom = 45 is

$P(t > -0.30 ) = 0.61722067$

So the p-value is

$p-value = P(t > T) = 0.61722067$

From the obtained values we see that the p-value > $\alpha$ hence we fail to reject the null hypothesis

Hence the there is no sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean age of the cars is greater than that of taxi

A company owns two manufacturing plants with daily production levels of 8x + 17 widgets and 5x - 7 widgets, where x represents a

pogonyaev

Answer:

3x + 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

Company owns two manufacting plants with the following daily production levels :

PLANT A:

8x + 17 widgets

PLANT B:

5x - 7 widgets

Where x = minimum quantity

How many more items does the first plant produce daily than the second plant?

Subtract the Plant B's production level from plant A

8x + 17 - (5x - 7)

8x + 17 - 5x + 7

Collecting like terms

8x - 5x + 17 + 7

3x + 24

Hence, the number of items the first plant produce daily than the second plant is :

3x + 24
