Please help I don’t understand this math question

You can factor this by taking out the GCF (greatest common factor).

In the expression, the greatest common factor between the two terms is 5.

Take out 5:

5(2b + 5)

Is it possible to factor 2b + 5 even more?

No. So, your answer is D. 5(2b + 5).

Because of safety considerations, in May 2003 the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) changed its guidelines for how small com

Rasek [7]

Answer:

a) The 95% confidence interval for the mean summer weight (including carry-on luggage) of Frontier Airlines passengers is between 179 and 187 pounds. This means that we are 95% sure that the mean summer weight of all Frontier Airlines passengers is between these two values.

b)

The 95% confidence interval for the mean winter weight (including carry-on luggage) of Frontier Airlines passengers is between 185.4 pounds and 194.6 pounds. This means that we are 95% sure that the mean winter weight of all Frontier Airlines passengers is between these two values.

c) They are respected, as the upper bound of both intervals is below the new FAA recommendations.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve these questions.

Question a:

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 100 - 1 = 99

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 99 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of $1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975$ . So we have T = 1.9842

The margin of error is:

$M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.9842\frac{20}{\sqrt{100}} = 4$

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 183 - 4 = 179 pounds.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 183 + 4 = 187 pounds.

The 95% confidence interval for the mean summer weight (including carry-on luggage) of Frontier Airlines passengers is between 179 and 187 pounds. This means that we are 95% sure that the mean summer weight of all Frontier Airlines passengers is between these two values.

Question b:

Critical value is the same(same sample size and confidence level).

The margin of error is:

$M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.9842\frac{23}{\sqrt{100}} = 4.6$

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 190 - 4.6 = 185.4 pounds.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 190 + 4.6 = 194.6 pounds.

The 95% confidence interval for the mean winter weight (including carry-on luggage) of Frontier Airlines passengers is between 185.4 pounds and 194.6 pounds. This means that we are 95% sure that the mean winter weight of all Frontier Airlines passengers is between these two values.

c. The new FAA recommendations are 190 pounds for summer and 195 pounds for winter. Comment on these recommendations in light of the confidence interval estimates from Parts (a) and (b).

They are respected, as the upper bound of both intervals is below the new FAA recommendations.

A 20% solution of fertilizer is to be mixed with a 50% solution of fertilizer in order to get 180 gallons of a 40% solution. How

anyanavicka [17]

Answer: 60 gallons of the 20% solution and 120 gallons of the 50% solution should be mixed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of gallons of 20% solution that should be mixed.

Let y represent the number of gallons of 50% solution that should be mixed.

A 20% solution of fertilizer is to be mixed with a 50% solution of fertilizer in order to get 180 gallons of a 40% solution. This means that

0.2x + 0.5y = 0.4×180

0.2x + 0.5y = 72- - - - - - - - - - - -1

Since the total number of gallons is 180, it means that

x + y = 180

Substituting x = 180 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.2(180 - y) + 0.5y = 72

36 - 0.2y + 0.5y = 72

- 0.2y + 0.5y = 72 - 36

0.3y = 36

y = 36/0.3

y = 120

x = 180 - y = 180 - 120

x = 60

The figure shows a triangle with an angle bisector. If angle SUT= 34°, find the measurement of angle 1?

Burka [1]

The ANGLE BISECTOR mentioned in the problem is simply just a line that separates an angle in half.

Meaning if it bisects ∠SUT which is 34. It just means that it divides the angle 34 into 2 equal parts.

Therefore ∠1 is just one-half of the ∠SUT.

$\begin{gathered} m\angle1=\frac{\angle SUT}{2} \\ m\angle1=\frac{34}{2} \\ m\angle1=17 \end{gathered}$

Therefore the measurement of ∠1 is 17°.
