Answer:

140 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

let s == small box

m = medium box

= large box

the following 3 equations can be derived from the question

s + m = 20 equation 1

m + l = 28  equation 2

l + s = 24  equation 3

make m the subject of the formula in equation 1 and 2

m = 20 - s  equation 4

m = 28 - l  equation 5

equate equation 4 and 5

20 - s = 28 - l

l - s = 8  equation 6

solve equation 3 and 6 using simultaneous equation

l + s = 24  equation 3

l - s = 8  equation 6

subtract equation 6 from 3

2s = 16

s = 8

substitute for s in equation 1

8 + m = 20

m = 12

substitute for m in equation 2

12 + l = 28

l = 16

total weight = (4 x 8) + (5 x 12) + (16 x 3) = 140 pounds

An automobile manufacturer has given its van a 47.2 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted t
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

A

The  test statistics is  t  = -1.7

B

The  Null and  Alternative hypothesis are

      H_o  :  \mu = 47.2   and  H_a :  \mu \ne  47.2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The population mean is  \mu  =  47.2 miles/gallon(MPG)

    The sample size is  n =  250 \ van

     The  sample mean is  \= x  =  47.0

      The sample  standard deviation is  \sigma  =  1.9

      The level of significance is  \alpha  =  0.02

Given that the value which the manufacturer gave the automobile is  47.2 and  it is believed that this is not correct, then  

The  Null Hypothesis is  

        H_o  :  \mu = 47.2

The alternative Hypothesis  is  

        H_a :  \mu \ne  47.2

The test statistics can be mathematically evaluated as  

        t  =  \frac{\= x- \mu}{\frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} } }

substituting values

        t  =  \frac{\= 47- 47.2}{\frac{1.9 }{\sqrt{250} } }

       t  = -1.7

What is the expresion for (-1/2)(-1/2)(-1/2) as an exponent​
stellarik [79]

Answer:

-1/2 to the third power

Step-by-step explanation:

first you look and see -1/2 times -1/2 times -1/2 which is the same as -1/2 to the third power.

then if you have -1/2 to the 3rd power you just simply take -1/2*-1/2*-1/2 which is the same as the expression
