Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's create a table

\left[\begin{array}{cc}boys&girls\\2&5\\2x&5x\end{array}\right]

2 : 5 is the same as 2x : 5x because you multiply both sides in 2:5 by x

If the ratio is 2x : 5x, what is the total?

2x + 5x = 7x

The total is 7x

However, we are given that there are 42 students

So, 7x = 42

x = 6

As we said earlier, boys = 2x

We know that x = 6, so 2x must equal to 12

There are 12 boys.

Hope this helps :)

Have a nice day!

Give the null and alternative hypotheses in symbolic form that would be used in a hypothesis test of the following claim:
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is usually the default statement. The alternative is the opposite of the null and usually tested against the null hypothesis

In this case study,

The null hypothesis in would be that the mean time between clicks of the second hand on a particular clock is 1 second. In symbolic form it would be u = 1

The alternative hypothesis would be that the mean time between clicks of the second hand on a particular clock is 1 not second. In symbolic form, it would be: u =/ 1

PLEASE ANSWER THIS ASAP !!!!
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

y = (1/2)x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope:

Take the rise over run to find this- For every unit it goes up, it goes two units across, so it will be (1/2)

Find the y-intercept:

This is the value of y where the line intersects the y-axis- (0,2), so 2

Substitute these values in for m and b:

y = mx + b

y = (1/2)x + 2

Hope that helps! :)

In general, SSA does not always determine
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Knowing only side-side-angle (SSA) does not work because the unknown side could be located in two different places. Knowing only angle-angle-angle (AAA) does not work because it can produce similar but not congruent triangles. ... The same is true for side angle side, angle side angle and angle angle side.
