Answer: x= -189, y =252

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x and second number be y

x + y = 63

x = 63-y

now

1/9 of x + 1/6 of y = 21

x/9 + y/6 = 21

substituting x's value from equation i

(63-y)/9 + y/6 = 21

(378-6y+9y)/54 = 21

378+3y = 1134

3y = 1134-378

so, 3y = 756

so, y = 756/3

so, y = 252

now

x = 63-252

so, x = -189

Suppose that the mean time that visitors stay at a museum is 94.2 minutes with a standard deviation of 15.5 minutes. The standar

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

$94.2 -0.994*3.1 = 91.1186$

$94.2 +0.994*3.1 = 97.2814$

And the 68% confidence interval is given by (91.1186, 97.2814)

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know that mean time that visitors stay at a museum is given by:

$\bar X = 94.2$

The standard deviation is given by:

$s= 15.5$

And the standard error is given by:

$SE = \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} =3.1$

And we want to interval captures 68% of the means for random samples of 25 scores and for this case the critical value can be founded like this using the normal standard distribution or excel:

$z_{\alpha/2}= \pm 0.994$

We can find the interval like this:

$\bar X \pm ME$

And replacing we got:

$94.2 -0.994*3.1 = 91.1186$

$94.2 +0.994*3.1 = 97.2814$

And the 68% confidence interval is given by (91.1186, 97.2814)

If f(x) = -3x + 4, find f(3x + 3)

Alex17521 [72]

Remark

What this is telling you to do is put 3x + 3 in the question wherever there was an x to start with.

Solution

f(x) = -3x + 4

f(3x + 3) = - 3(3x + 3) + 4

f(3x + 3) = -3*3x + (-3)*(3) + 4

f(3x + 3) = - 9x - 9 + 4

f(3x + 3) = -9x - 5 <<<<< Answer

A study has shown that the daily amount of milk produced by a dairy cow is normally distributed, with a mean of 6.2 gallons and

V125BC [204]

Answer:

5.5 gallons to 6.9 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Daily a cow

produces a mean of 6.2 gallons (average

of 6.2 gallons, meaning they already

found the mean, "averaged" it out for

you) with a deviation of 7 gallons ("give

or take" .7 gallons). On any given day

(throw these words out) 68% of the cows

(don't need this information to answer

the question either, thrown in to confuse

you) will produce an amount of milk

within which of the following ranges?

Just subtract the deviation ("give or

take number").7 gallons from the mean

(average (already determined)) 6.2

gallons which is 5.5 gallons THEN add

the deviation ("give or take number").

7 gallons to the mean (average (already

determined)) 6.2 gallons which is 6.9

gallons. Your answer is A 5.5 gallons to

6.9 gallons. You don't even have to go

crazy on the math on this question you

can rule them all out but A immediately

with subtracting .7 from 6.2.

hope it helps!
