The length of the shorter wire that the electrician cuts so that the difference between those two is of 5 m is 22.5.

Given to us

An electrician needs to cut a 49 m piece of wire into two pieces so that one piece is 5 m longer than the other piece.

<h3>What are the two equal parts of the wire?</h3>

We know that the length of the wire is 49 m, therefore, to cut the wire in two equal parts divide the total length of the wire by two,

\dfrac{49}{2} = 24.5

Thus, the length of each side will be 24.5.

<h3>What is the length of the shorter piece of wire?</h3>

Since we need to cut the wire such that one side of the wire is 5 less than the other, we already know the length of the equal sides deduct (5/2) from both sides to create a difference between the length of the wire.

Length of the shorter wire = 24.5 -2.5 = 22.5

Length of the longer wire = 22.5 + 5 = 27.5

Hence, the length of the shorter wire that the electrician cuts so that the difference between those two is of 5 m is 22.5.

Based on a random sample of 25 units of product X, the average weight is 102 lbs., and the sample standard deviation is 10 lbs.
Alex

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that for a sample size of 25, sample mean = 102 lbs. and sample std deviation = 10 lbs.

H_0: \bar x = 100\\H_a: \bar x >100

(Right tailed test)

Given that we assume population is normally distributed

Test statistic:

Mean difference = +2

Std error of sample = \frac{10}{\sqrt{25} } =2

t = test statistic = Mean diff/Std error = 1

degree of freedom= n-1 =24

Critical value of t = 1.711

Our test statistic >1.71

Accept alternate hypothesis

Because there is significant difference between the test statistic and test statistic lies above critical value.

What role do animals have in the carbon cycle?
Tresset [83]

Answer:

use sugar and release carbon

Step-by-step explanation:

Animals they eat and then release carbon through respiration. Nitrogen is only in the nitrogen cycle, and the only living organisms that can release oxygen are plants because humans and animals cannot photosynthesize. LOL!

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

24) A

22) B

Step-by-step explanation:

24)

Original Price: d      

Sale: 30%    

A sale means that a value is subtracted from the original price

d - 30% = 0.7d

All options given:

A) 0.3d

B) 0.7d

C) d - 0.3d = 0.7d

D) (1.0 - 0.3)d = 0.7(d) = 0.7d

All of these options are equal to the price after the sale, except A.

A is the answer to question 24

22)  m > 0, n > 0    Use an example to represent m and n

m = 1,  n = 2 = -0.5

-0.5 is a rational, negative number

The answer to question 22 is B

Hope this helps :)
