Answer:

charles 4 years

adam 20 years

Step-by-step explanation:

charles present = x

adams present age 5x

8 years later

charles x+8

adam 5x+8

ATQ

x+8+5x+8=10x

4x=16

x=4

5x=20

Geometry, SEMI-EASY question. I will give brainliest. Just want to double-check.
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the point O is the origin.

Then the coordinates of the vertices A,B and C will be,

A → (-12, -8)

B → (-8, 0)

C → (-6, -4)

Rule for the dilation of a point (x, y) by scale factor 'k' about the origin is,

(x, y) → (kx, ky)

By this rule, coordinates of the vertices of the image triangle will be,

If k = \frac{1}{2},

A(-12, -8) → A'(-6, -4)  

B(-8, 0) → B'(-4, 0)

C(-6, -4) → C'(-3, -2)

From the given options,

Option B is the answer.

Advertising expenses are a significant component of the cost of goods sold. Listed below is a frequency distribution showing the
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The table can be computed as:

Advertising Expenses ($ million)     Number of companies

25 up to 35                                                    4

35 up to 45                                                    19

45 up to 55                                                    27

55 up to 65                                                    16

65 up to 75                                                     9

TOTAL                                                            75

Let's find the probabilities first:

P(25 - 35) = P \Big(\dfrac{25-50.93}{10.80}

For 35 up to 45

P(35 - 45) = P \Big(\dfrac{35-50.93}{10.80}

For 45 up to 55

P(45 - 55) = P \Big(\dfrac{45-50.93}{10.80}

For 55 up to 65

P(55 - 65) = P \Big(\dfrac{55-50.93}{10.80}

For 65 up to 75

P(65 - 75) = P \Big(\dfrac{65-50.93}{10.80}

Chi-Square Table can be computed as follows:

Expense   No of   Probabilities(P)  Expe                (O-E)^2   \dfrac{(O-E)^2}{E}

             compa                                 cted E (n*p)

             nies (O)  

25-35           4      0.0612    75*0.0612 = 4.59        0.3481       0.0758

35-45           19     0.2218   75*0.2218 = 16.635     5.5932       0.3362

45-55           27     0.3568   75*0.3568 = 26.76     0.0576      0.021

55-65           16      0.2552   75*0.2552 = 19.14      9.8596      0.5151

65-75           9      0.0839     75*0.0839 = 6.2925   7.331         1.1650

                                                                                           \sum \dfrac{(O-E)^2}{E}= 2.0492                                                                                                      

Using the Chi-square formula:

X^2 = \dfrac{(O-E)^2}{E} \\ \\ Chi-square  \ X^2 = 2.0942

Null hypothesis:

H_o: \text{The population of advertising expenses follows a normal distribution}

Alternative hypothesis:  

H_a: \text{The population of advertising expenses does not follows a normal distribution}

Assume that:

\alpha = 0.02

degree of freedom:

= n-1

= 5 -1

= 4

Critical value from X^2 = 11.667

Decision rule: To reject H_o  \  if \  X^2  test statistics is greater than X^2 tabulated.

Conclusion: Since X^2 = 2.0942 is less than critical value 11.667. Then we fail to reject H_o

A cooler holds 20 cups of water. There are 12 3/4 cups of water in the cooler. Can the cooler hold an additional 6 5/6 cups of w
Fantom [35]
Yes. Since 12 3/4 cups can be rounded up to 13 and 6 5/6 can be rounded up to seven, and 13+7 equals 20, so you would be able to put the additional amount if cups into the cooler.
