at a country concert,the ratio of number of the Boys to the number of girls is 2:7 if there are 250 more girls than boys how man

sergey [27]

Answer:

100

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio is a fraction, so ratio of boys to girls would be written as [let boys be "b" and girls be "g"]:

$\frac{b}{g}=\frac{2}{7}$

Also, there are 250 more girls than boys, so we can write:

g = 250 + b

Lets substitute this into "g" of the ratio we wrote and cross mulitply and solve for b:

$\frac{b}{g}=\frac{2}{7}\\\frac{b}{250+b}=\frac{2}{7}\\7b=2(250+b)\\7b=500+2b\\5b=500\\b=\frac{500}{5}=100$

The number of boys = 100

A study was conducted in order to estimate μ, the mean number of weekly hours that U.S. adults use computers at home. Suppose a

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The point estimate for $\mu$ is 8.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

In this problem

We are working with a sample of 81 adults, so the point estimae of the mean is the mean number of weekly hours that U.S. adults use computers at home.

So, the point estimate for $\mu$ is 8.5 hours.

The longest side in a right triangle is 24 cm, and the second longest side is 20 cm. Find the length of the shortest side

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

13.3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem:

hyp² = (2nd longest side)² + (shortest side)². Here the numbers are:

(24 cm)² = (20 cm)² + (shortest side)², or

576 - 400 = 176 = hyp²
