Find the value of x.

Lily, Louis, and Ben went to an arcade and won tokens for prizes. Louis won 4.5 times as many tokens as Ben. Lily won 8 more tok

lana66690 [7]

The expression that describes the number of tickets won by Lily is:

a = 8 + 4.5c where "a" is the number of tokens won by Lily and "c" is the number of tokens won by Ben

Solution:

Given that Lily, Louis, and Ben went to an arcade and won tokens for prizes

Let "a" be the number of tokens won by Lily

Let "b" be the number of tokens won by Louis

Let "c" be the number of tokens won by Ben

Given that Louis won 4.5 times as many tokens as Ben

So we can frame a equation as:

number of tokens won by Louis = 4.5 times as many tokens as Ben

number of tokens won by Louis = 4.5 x number of tokens won by Ben

$b = 4.5 \times c$

b = 4.5c

Given that Lily won 8 more tokens than Louis

number of tokens won by Lily = 8 + number of tokens won by Louis

a = 8 + b

Substituting the value of b = 4.5c in above expression

a = 8 + 4.5c

Thus the expression that describes how many tokens Lily won is found

Assume that body masses of Goldfinch birds follow a normal distribution with standard deviation equal to 0.04 oz. An ornithologi

il63 [147K]

Answer:

The formula to generate 70% confidence interval is: $[\overline{x} - 0.013, \overline{x} + 0.013]$ , in which $\overline{x}$ is the sample mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.7}{2} = 0.15$

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of $1 - \alpha$ .

That is z with a pvalue of $1 - 0.15 = 0.85$ , so Z = 1.037.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

Assume that body masses of Goldfinch birds follow a normal distribution with standard deviation equal to 0.04 oz.

This means that $\sigma = 0.04$ .

Sample of 10 birds:

This means that $n = 10$ .

The margin of error is of:

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$M = 1.037\frac{0.04}{\sqrt{10}}$

$M = 0.013$

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean of $\overline{x}$ subtracted by M.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean of $\overline{x}$ added to M.

Then, the formula to generate 70% confidence interval is: $[\overline{x} - 0.013, \overline{x} + 0.013]$ , in which $\overline{x}$ is the sample mean.

What is the vertex of the quadratic function given in the table?

likoan [24]

Answer:

The vertex is (-3,-2)

The vertex is basically the very top or very lowest, so you will notice how values around (-3,-2) are relatively the same in the y coordinate, but -2 is the "highest/lowest" so that's how you know it's a vertex.

If you try picturing the points in your head, you will see it make a U and at the bottom of the U is the vertex.
