Answer:

13x

Step-by-step explanation:

you would just add the 2 numbers together and then keep the variable. if you know the variable (if there’s a sheet to go off of) then multiply and add but otherwise it’s just 8 + 5 then add an x. 13x

<h3>Answer: 13x</h3>

=====================================================

Explanation:

x is a placeholder for a number. Think of it like a box holding a number. Conveniently, the letter 'x' is in the word 'box', so its naturally fitting to use x here.

Writing 8x could represent the idea of us having 8 boxes that are identical. Adding on 5x means we add on 5 more boxes. This leads to 8+5 = 13 boxes in total.

This is one way to see how 8x+5x = 13x

Another way is to write it like this: 8x+5x = (8+5)x = (13)x = 13x. I used the distributive property here.

Combining these terms is possible because 8x and 5x are like terms. They have the same variable and same exponent. We're adding two of the same type of object together.

solong [7]

Answer:

Height of tomato plant is the dependent variable

Presence of walnut leaves in the soil is the independent variable

Tomato plants grown without walnut leaves is the control

Step-by-step explanation:

An independent variable is the variable in an experiment that can be altered to test for a certain result. It is independent, or does not change with change in other factors in the experiment. In this case, the presence or absence, or quantity of walnut available in the soil is the independent variable in the experiment.

A dependent variable varies, and depends on the independent variable. It is what is measured in the experiment. In this case, the height of the tomato plants is the dependent variable that depends on the presence, absence or quantity of walnut in the soil.

A control in an experiment, is a replicate experiment, that is manipulated in order to be able to test a single variable at a time. Controls are variables are held constant so as to minimize their effect on the system under study. In this case, some of the tomato plants are planted without walnut in the soil, to test the effect of the absence of the walnut in the soil.

Find the measures of the numbered angles in each kite.

Vlad [161]

Answer:

x = 19°

y = 31°

Step-by-step explanation:

5x = 7x - 38

2x = 38

x = 19

y = 180 - 54 - 5(19)

y = 31

aev [14]

Answer:

a) $29.4-1.96\frac{7}{\sqrt{10}}=25.06$

$29.4+1.96\frac{7}{\sqrt{10}}=33.74$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (25.06;33.74)

b) $z=\frac{29,4-25}{\frac{7}{\sqrt{10}}}=1.988$

$p_v =P(z>1.988)=0.0234$

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=Step-by-step explanation:Previous conceptsA confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval". 
The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval. 
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean". 
Part a
Data given: 30 30 42 35 22 33 31 29 19 23
We can calculate the sample mean with the following formula:[tex] \bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}= 29.4$ the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma=7$ represent the population standard deviation

n=10 represent the sample size

95% confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$29.4-1.96\frac{7}{\sqrt{10}}=25.06$

$29.4+1.96\frac{7}{\sqrt{10}}=33.74$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (25.06;33.74)

Part b

What are H0 and Ha for this study?

Null hypothesis: $\mu \leq 25$

Alternative hypothesis : $\mu>25$

Compute the test statistic

The statistic for this case is given by:

$z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$z=\frac{29,4-25}{\frac{7}{\sqrt{10}}}=1.988$

Give the appropriate conclusion for the test

Since is a one side right tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(z>1.988)=0.0234$

Conclusion

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.
