Answer:

(1,6), (2,6), (3,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you  travel 6 miles per hour when paddling and 2 miles per hour when drifting, and the total distance covered is 24 miles, we find the times t and t' of paddling and drifting respectively in which the product 6t + 2t' = 24.

So, for the first values of t and t' , we have t = 1 and t' = 9

So, 6t + 2t' = 6 × 1 + 2 × 9 = 6 + 18 = 24

As an ordered pair (1, 9)

For the second set of values of t and t' , we have t = 2 and t' = 6

So, 6t + 2t' = 6 × 2 + 2 × 6 = 12 + 12 = 24

As an ordered pair (2, 6)

For the third set of values of t and t' , we have t = 3 and t' = 3

So, 6t + 2t' = 6 × 3 + 2 × 3 = 18 + 6 = 24

As an ordered pair (3, 3)

So, the three different combinations of paddling and drifting times are (1,6), (2,6), and (3,3)

An equation is shown below:
IrinaK [193]
5(2x - 8) + 15 = -15
               -15      -15     subtract 15 from each side
5(2x - 8) = -30
  ÷5             ÷5             divide both sides by 5
2x - 8 = -6
     +8    +8                   add 8 to each side
2x=2
÷2  ÷2                          divide both sides by 3
x = 1

Checking:
5(2(1)-8) + 15 = -15
5(-6) + 15 = -15
-30 + 15 = -15
-15 = -15             Correct! x=1

One of your friends is testing the effect of drinking coffee on the duration of cold symptoms. The common cold lasts, on average
Goshia [24]

Answer: 0.0930

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given , we have

H0: μcoffee = 6

Ha: μcoffee < 6

She finds z = −1.68 with one-sided P-value P = 0.0465.

The P-value for two-tailed test is calculated by :

2P(Z>|z|)

For z= -1.68 , we have

2P(Z>|-1.68|)=2P(Z>1.68)

=2(1-P(z\leq1.68))\ \ [\because\ P(Z>z)=1-P(Z\leq z)]

=2(1-0.9535213)\ \ \ [\text{ NORM.S.DIST(z, TRUE}]\\\\=2( 0.0464787)=0.0929573\approx0.0930  

Hence, the correct two-sided P-value for z = −1.68 is 0.0930 .
