Answer:

Their weights are:

Dorris = 5 lbs

Borris = 7 lbs

Morris = 9 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the weights of the frogs be:

Dorris = d

Borris = b

Morris = m

given:

d + b = 12 - - - (1)

b + m = 16 - - - (2)

d + m = 14 - - - (3)

from (3)

d + m = 14

m = 14 - d - - - (4)

putting the value of m into equation 2:

b + m = 16

b + (14 - d) = 16

b - d + 14 = 16

b - d = 16 - 14

b - d = 2

b = 2 + d - - - - (5)

putting the value of 'b' in equation 5 into equation (1)

d + b = 12 - - - (1)

where: b = 2 + d - - -  (5)

∴ d + (2 + d ) = 12

d + d + 2 = 12

2d = 12 - 2

2d = 10

∴ d = 10 ÷ 2 = 5

d = 5

putting the value of 'd' into eqn (5)

b = 2 + d - - - - (5)

where d = 5

b = 2 + 5 = 7

b = 7 lbs

to find 'm', let us use eqn (3)

d + m = 14 - - - (3)

where d = 5

∴ 5 + m = 14

m = 14 - 5 = 9

m = 9 lbs

Therefore their weights are:

Dorris = 5 lbs

Borris = 7 lbs

Morris = 9 lbs

​Claim: Most adults would not erase all of their personal information online if they could. A software firm survey of 677 random
Alika [10]

Answer: The value of test statistic is -0.052.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

n = 677

and

\bar {p}=0.499

Claim that Most of the adults erase all of their personal details online.

p = 0.5

q = 1-0.5 = 0.5

So, the test statistic would be

z=\dfrac{\bar{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{pq}{n}}}\\\\z=\dfrac{0.499-0.5}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.5\times 0.5}{677}}}\\\\z=\dfrac{-0.001}{0.0192}\\\\z=-0.052

Area of a triangle= 1/2base x height
Plug in information
30=1/2 x 4 x h
Solve 1/2 x 4 = 2
30= 2 x h
Divide both side by two
30/2=2 x h/2
Solve:
15= h

Write the corresponding sides ad equal ratios
Marta_Voda [28]
Notice the corners; the corner on each triangle with one line is equivalent, and the same goes for the corner on each triangle with two lines, and the corner on each triangle with three lines. this is just a way to know which angles match up!

this means the answer would be:

D!
