Answer:

First number: 20

Second number: 30

Step-by-step explanation:

First#: x

Second#: y

Constraints:

x + y = 50

1/4x + 2/3y = 25

Isolate variable y:

x + y = 50

-1/4 (x + y = 50 )

-1/4x - 1/4y = -12.5

Add equations the two equations to eliminate x:

-1/4x - 1/4y = -12.5

1/4x + 2/3y = 25

_________________

5/12y = 12.5

5y = 150

y = 30

Substitution to find x:

x + y = 50

x + 30 = 50

x = 20

The class sizes of elementary school classes in a public school district are normally distributed with an unknown population mea

weqwewe [10]

Answer: $(17.14,\ 22.86)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval estimate for the population mean is given by :-

$\overline{x}\pm ME$ , where $\overline{x}$ is the sample mean and ME is the margin of error.

Given : Sample mean: $\overline{x}=20$

The margin of error for a 98% confidence interval estimate for the population mean using the Student's t-distribution : $ME=2.86$

Now, the confidence interval estimate for the population mean will be :-

$20\pm2.86=(20-2.86,\ 20+2.86)=(17.14,\ 22.86)$

Hence, the 98% confidence interval estimate for the population mean using the Student's t-distribution = $(17.14,\ 22.86)$

The roof of a house seen from the front is an isosceles triangle \Delta ABC ΔABC with base 14.5 m and sides of length 8.5 m. Fin

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

4.4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw the height of the triangle (perpendicular line from point A to line BC). Since ABC is an isosceles triangle, the height is a perpendicular bisector, so it splits the triangle into two congruent right triangles.

Use Pythagorean theorem to find the height.

c² = a² + b²

(8.5 m)² = (14.5/2 m)² + h²

h ≈ 4.4 m
