Answer:

6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

i used a proportional approach

2 (the double)/ 4 years (the time it takes to double)

then compared it to

3(the triple)/ x amount of years

(like this)

\frac{2}{4}  \  \frac{3}{x}

then cross multipled

4 times 3= 12

then divided the 12 by the remaining 2 above the 4

16. A triangle has side lengths of 6, 8, and 10. Is it a right triangle? Explain. (2 points)
timurjin [86]

Answer:

Yes, because when the side lengths of a triangle are in the ratio 3: 4: 5, then it is a right triangle. These sides are 6: 8: 10, then the triangle is a right one.

You earn $7.50 per hour at a fast food restaurant. You earned $123.75 last week. How many hours did you work last week?
ladessa [460]
I believe you would need to divide 123.75 by 7.50.

The equation would look something like this:
7.50x=123.75
Where x = # of hours worked
123.75 / 7.50 = 16.5
so x = 16.5
You worked for 16.5 hours

Researchers measured the data speeds for a particular smartphone carrier at 50 airports. The highest speed measured was 75.6 Mbp
olga55 [171]

Answer:

a) 59.98

b) 2.99

c) 2.99

d) Significantly High

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a)

Highest speed measured = x = 75.6 Mbps

Average/Mean speed = \overline{x} = 15.62 Mbps

Standard Deviation = s = 20.03 Mbps

We need to find the difference between carrier's highest data speed and the mean of all 50 data​ speeds i.e. x - \overline{x}

x - \overline{x} = 75.6 - 15.62 = 59.98 Mbps

Thus, the difference between​ carrier's highest data speed and the mean of all 50 data​ speeds is 59.98 Mbps

Part b)

In order to find how many standard deviations away is the difference found in previous part, we divide the difference by the value of standard deviation i.e.

\frac{59.98}{20.03}=2.99

This means, the difference is 2.99 standard deviations or in other words we can say, the Carrier's highest data speed is 2.99 standard deviations above the mean data speed.

Part c)

A z score tells us that how many standard deviations away is a value from the mean. We calculated the same in the previous part. Performing the same calculation in one step:

The formula for the z score is:

z=\frac{x-\overline{x}}{s}

Using the given values, we get:

z=\frac{75.6-15.62}{20.03}=2.99

Thus, the Carriers highest data is equivalent to a z score of 2.99

Part d)

The range of z scores which are neither significantly low nor significantly​ high is -2 to + 2. The z scores outside this range will be significant.

Since, the z score for carrier's highest data speed is 2.99 which is well outside the given range, i.e. greater than 2, we can conclude that the  carrier's highest data speed​ is significantly higher.
