Answer:

Silver car

Step-by-step explanation:

It seems pretty hard but it's actually REALLY easy. gas mileage means the number of miles you can go on a particular amount of gallons. But the gallons have to be the same for both cars so that it's fair.

so let's go with 10 gallons. pretty broad number right?

so to get 12 gallons(the gallons for the blue car) to 10, We divide it by 12 then multiply it by 10. Try it yourself, (12/12)*10=???

then we do that to 384 (the miles for the blue car)

(384/12)*10=320

so 320 is the mileage for the first car. Repeat the steps for the silver car!

(14/14)*10=10

so then: (504/14)*10= 360.

So which is bigger, 320 or 360?

360 is bigger, meaning it has better gas mileage.

According to a 2014 research study of national student engagement in the U.S., the average college student spends 17 hours per w
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would set up the hypothesis test. This is a test of a single population mean since we are dealing with mean

For the null hypothesis,

µ = 17

For the alternative hypothesis,

µ < 17

This is a left tailed test.

Since the population standard deviation is not given, the distribution is a student's t.

Since n = 80,

Degrees of freedom, df = n - 1 = 80 - 1 = 79

t = (x - µ)/(s/√n)

Where

x = sample mean = 15.6

µ = population mean = 17

s = samples standard deviation = 4.5

t = (15.6 - 17)/(4.5/√80) = - 2.78

We would determine the p value using the t test calculator. It becomes

p = 0.0034

Since alpha, 0.05 > than the p value, 0.0043, then we would reject the null hypothesis.

The data supports the professor’s claim. The average number of hours per week spent studying for students at her college is less than 17 hours per week.

Use completing the square to solve for x in the equation (x minus 12) (x + 4) = 9. x = –1 or 15 x = 1 or 7 x = 4 plus-or-minus S
Scrat [10]

Answer:

x = 4 ± \sqrt{73}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x - 12)(x + 4) = 9 ← expand the left side using FOIL

x² - 8x - 48 = 9 ( ad 48 to both sides )

x² - 8x = 57

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 4)x + 16 = 57 + 16

(x - 4)² = 73 ( take the square root of both sides )

x - 4 = ± \sqrt{73} ( add 4 to both sides )

x = 4 ± \sqrt{73}
