Solution:

Note that:

3x + 50 = 6x - 10 (Vertically opposite angles)

Simplify the equation to find x.

Add 10 both sides.

3x + 50 = 6x - 10
=> 3x + 50 + 10 = 6x - 10 + 10
=> 3x + 60 = 6x

Subtract 3x both sides.

3x + 60 = 6x
=> 3x - 3x + 60 = 6x - 3x
=> 60 = 3x

Divide 3 both sides.

60 = 3x
=> 60/3 = 3x/3
=> x = 20

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

opposite angles = equal angles

we solve with a proportion

3x + 50 = 6x - 10

50 + 10 = 6x - 3x

60 = 3x

x = 60 : 3

x = 20

Suppose that a recent article stated that the mean time spent in jail by a first-time convicted burglar is 2.5 years. A study wa

4vir4ik [10]

Using the z-distribution, it is found that since the test statistic is greater than the critical value, it can be concluded that the mean length of jail time has increased.

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if the mean length of jail time is still of 2.5 years, that is:

$H_0: \mu = 2.5$

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if it has increased, that is:

$H_1: \mu > 2.5$

We have the standard deviation for the population, thus, the z-distribution is used. The test statistic is given by:

$z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

The parameters are:

$\overline{x}$ is the sample mean.
$\mu$ is the value tested at the null hypothesis.
$\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the sample.
n is the sample size.

For this problem, the values of the parameters are: $\overline{x} = 3, \mu = 2.5, \sigma = 1.5, n = 26$

Hence, the value of the test statistic is:

$z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$z = \frac{3 - 2.5}{\frac{1.5}{\sqrt{26}}}$

$z = 1.7$

The critical value for a right-tailed test, as we are testing if the mean is greater than a value, with a significance level of 0.05, is of $z^{\ast} = 1.645$

Since the test statistic is greater than the critical value, it can be concluded that the mean length of jail time has increased.

A gardener has a container with 6 1/5 ounces of liquid plant fertilizer on Sunday the gardener uses 2 1/2 ounces on a flower gar

sergey [27]

Amount of liquid plant fertilizer in the container that the gardener has = 6 1/5 pounds
   = 31/5 pounds
We already know that 1 pound = 16 ounce
Then
Amount of liquid plant fertilizer in the
container that the gardener has = (31/5) * 16 ounce
= 496/5 pounds
Amount of liquid plant fertilizer that the gardener uses on Sunday = 2 1/2 ounces
   = 5/2 ounces
Then
The amount of liquid plant fertilizer that are left= (496/5) - (5/2) ounces
   = (992 - 25)/10 ounces
   = 967/10 ounces
   = 96.7 ounces
So the total amount of liquid plant fertilizer left is 96.7 ounces.
