X=number of miles

$329=$175+$0.70x
329-175=.70x
154=.70x
154/.70=x
220miles =x

He drove 220 miles because 329-175 is a number then that divided by.7 is 220

A United Nations report shows the mean family income for Mexican migrants to the United States is $27,000 per year. A FLOC (Farm
disa [49]

Answer:

We conclude that the mean family income for Mexican migrants to the United States is $27,000 per year and the provided information is consistent with the United Nations report.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a United Nations report shows the mean family income for Mexican migrants to the United States is $27,000 per year.

A FLOC  evaluation of 25 Mexican family units reveals a mean to be $30,000 with a sample standard deviation of $10,000.

Let \mu = <em><u>true mean family income for Mexican migrants.</u></em>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu = $27,000     {means that the mean family income for Mexican migrants to the United States is $27,000 per year}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu \neq $27,000     {means that the mean family income for Mexican migrants to the United States is different from $27,000 per year}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>One-sample t test statistics</u> as we don't know about the population standard deviation;

                          T.S. =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample mean family income = $30,000

            s = sample standard deviation = $10,000

            n = sample of Mexican family = 25

So, <u><em>the test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{30,000-27,000}{\frac{10,000}{\sqrt{25} } }  ~ t_2_4

                                     =  1.50

The value of t test statistics is 1.50.

Since, in the question we are not given the level of significance so we assume it to be 5%. <u>Now, at 5% significance level the t table gives critical values of -2.064 and 2.064 at 24 degree of freedom for two-tailed test.</u>

Since our test statistic lies within the range of critical values of t, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which <u>we fail to reject our null hypothesis</u>.

Therefore, we conclude that the mean family income for Mexican migrants to the United States is $27,000 per year and the provided information is consistent with the United Nations report.

How would the expression x^3-8 be written using difference of cubes
ludmilkaskok [199]

we can use formula

a^3-b^3=(a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)

we can compare

we get

a=x

b=2

now, we can plug that in formula

and we get

x^3-2^3=(x-2)(x^2+2x+2^2)

now, we can simplify it

x^3-8=(x-2)(x^2+2x+4)...........Answer

1. There are 50 contestants signed up for a TV show. There are 36 more female contestants than male contestants. How many female
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

males = 7

females = 43

Step-by-step explanation:

whilst it may seem intuitive to simply subtract 36 from 50, it is not saying "there are 36 males, how many females?" but instead, "the difference between the number of males and females is 36".

You can solve this equation most easily algebraically. For example:

Number of males = x

number of females = y

the question states that the total number of people = 50

therefore we can say that the total number of males (x) + the total number of females (y) = 50 people

therefore: x + y = 50

similarly, the question says that the number of males (x) + 36 = the total number of females (y)

therefore: x + 36 = y

we now have two equations:

x + y = 50

x + 36 = y

whilst both equations have two unknowns (x and y), therefore we can't simple solve for x or y, with the combination, we can see a pattern.

focusing on the second equation: x + 36 = y

we can add x to both sides, because you can pretty much do anything to the equation as long as you do it to both sides.

x + 36 + x = y + x

now this may seem very random, but you now see that one side of the equation equals y + x, and remember from the other equation, x + y = 50. Therefore we can substitute x + y in the second equation for 50.

our two equations:

x + 36 + x = y + x

x + y = 50

therefore:

x + 36 + x = 50

for the sake of clarity, we can combine like terms...

x + x = 2x

therefore:

x + 36 + x = 50

2x + 36 = 50

solve for x by subtracting 36 from both sides, then dividing both sides by 2

2x + 36 - 36 = 50 - 36

2x = 14

2x / 2 = 14 / 2

x = 7

now remember:

Number of males = 7 (we now know x = 7)

now that we've solved for x, we can go back to our original equation:

x + 36 = y

and substitute x...

7 + 36 = y

43 = y

Now remember:

Number of females = 43 (we now know y = 43)

therefore there are 7 males and 43 females. we can proof this by adding 7 and 43, and you'll see you reach 50, which is the correct total number of people.

hope this helps :)
