A school district held a meeting for all its physical education teachers.The number of women attending was 5 more than twice the

number of men attending. A total of 53 teachers attended the meeting. Which system of equations could be used to find the number of men attending the meeting? How many men attended the meeting?

Answer:

The system of equation is w+m=53 and w=2m+5.

There are 16 men who are attended the meeting.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total number of teachers = 53

Solution,

Let the total number of women teachers be 'w'.

And also let the total number of men teachers be 'm'.

So, total number of teachers is the sum of total number of women teachers and total number of men teachers.

This can be framed in equation form as;

w+m=53\ \ \ \ equation\ 1

The system of equation is w+m=53.

Now according to question,

The number of women attending was 5 more than twice the number of men attending the meeting.

So this can be framed in equation form as;

w=2m+5\ \ \ equation\ 2

Now we insert the value of w from equation 2 in equation 1, we get;

2m+5+m=53\\\\3m+5=53\\\\3m=53-5=48\\\\m=\frac{48}{3}=16

Now we solve for 'w';

w=2m+5=2\times16+5=32+5=37

Hence there are 16 men who attended the meeting.

And also there are 37 women who attended the meeting.

A survey of 225 students showed the mean number of hours spent studying per week was 20.6 and the standard deviations was 2.7
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

The margin of error is approximately 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The following information has been provided;

The sample size, n =225 students

The sample mean number of hours spent studying per week = 20.6

The standard deviation = 2.7

The question requires us to determine the margin of error that would be associated with a 90% confidence level. In constructing confidence intervals of the population mean, the margin of error is defined as;

The product of the associated z-score and the standard error of the sample mean. The standard error of the sample mean is calculated as;

\frac{sigma}{\sqrt{n} }

where sigma is the standard deviation and n the sample size. The z-score associated with a 90% confidence level, from the given table, is 1.645.

The margin of error is thus;

1.645*\frac{2.7}{\sqrt{225}}=0.2961

Therefore, the margin of error is approximately 0.3

The perimeter of a rectangular construction site is 124 meters. The width is eight meters more than 5 times the length. Find the
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of both lengths and both widths, which is equal to 54 meters. Let's call Length L and Width W.

The question is saying this: L = 3 meters + 3(W). We have 2 variables, which means we need at least 2 equations to solve. So far we have one, our second equation is from the perimeter.

2 lengths + 2 Widths = 54. Now, it's just a plug and chug.

2(3 + 3W) + 2W = 54.

6 + 6W + 2W = 54

8W = 48

W=6

L = 3 + 3(6) = 21

To double check: 2(21) + 2(6) = 42 + 12 = 54

The Width is 6 meters, and the Length is 21 meters.
