JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The bigger avocado will be a better deal if the ratio of the sizes of the bigger one to the smaller one is less than the ratio of the prices of the bigger one to the smaller one.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that two sizea of avocados are being sold, since the regular size is being sold for $0.84 each, let the price for the bigger avocado be $x.

Then note the following:

1. How bigger than the smaller avocado is the bigger one?

This would determine if the price for the bigger one is a bargain, or a mistake.

If for instance, the bigger avocado is double the size of the smaller one, then for any price, $x less that $1.68 (twice of $0.84), it is a bargain.

The bigger avocado will be a better deal if the ratio of the sizes bigger one to the smaller one is less than the ratio of the prices of the bigger one to the smaller one.

The U.S. Department of Transportation provides the number of miles that residents of the75 largest metropolitan areas travel per

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

a. The point estimate of the difference between the mean number of miles that Buffalo residents travel per day and the mean number of miles that Boston residentstravel per day is 88

b. The 95% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means is (0.58171,7.21829)

Step-by-step explanation:

a. According to the given data we have the following:

Buffalo residents mean=22.5

Standard deviation=8.4

n=50

Boston residents mean=18.6

Standard deviation=7.4

n=40

Hence, the point estimate is the difference of the means=22.5-18.6=3.9

The standard error=√((s1∧2/n1)+((s2∧2/n2))=√((8.4∧2/50)+(7.4∧2/40))=1.67

Therefore, the difference of miles=n1+n2-2=50+40-2=88

The point estimate of the difference between the mean number of miles that Buffalo residents travel per day and the mean number of miles that Boston residentstravel per day is 88.

b. The critical value of t at 95% confidence level and DoF=88 is 1.987

The interval:(x1-x2)+ (critical value* std error)

=3.9-(1.987*1.67),3.9+(1.987*1.67)

Difference between mean=(0.58171,7.21829)

The 95% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means is (0.58171,7.21829)

8x^-9+(-3x^-3y-2)(5/x^6y-2)

DaniilM [7]

$8x^{-9}+(-3x^{-3}y^{-2})(\frac{5}{x^6y^{-2}})$

the first step is to deal with the negative exponents, which causes numbers to go to the other side of the fraction

8x^{-9}+(-3x^{-3}y^{-2})(\frac{5}{x^6y^{-2}})

goes to

$\frac{8}{x^9}+(\frac{-3}{x^3y^2})(\frac{5y^2}{x^6})$

now we can simplify the multiplied terms

$\frac{8}{x^9}+(\frac{-15}{x^9})$

Now that we have common bases, we can add the 2 fractions together to get

$\frac{-7}{x^9}$

Does anyone know how to solve this?

masya89 [10]

Answer:

b = -125/9

Step-by-step explanation:

1 + log5 ( -9b) = 4

Subtract 1 from each side

1 -1+ log5 ( -9b) = 4-1

log5 ( -9b) = 3

Raise each side to the base 5

5^ log5 ( -9b) = 5^3

This will cancel the log5

-9b = 125

Divide each side by 9

-9b/-9 = 125/-9

b = -125/9
