Answer:

360 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

15 times 8= 120 miles I. September

Times 3 in August=360 miles

Based on the results of the two-sample t-test, which yielded a p-value of 0.058 (larger than the significance level of 0.05), there isn't strong enough evidence to conclude that the mean delivery time from Japan to Texas is greater than that from Texas to Japan.

From the computer output of the two-sample t-test, we can see that the p-value given is 0.058. This p-value is used to determine the statistical significance of the results. Since the p-value is greater than the chosen significance level of 0.05, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. Keep in mind, that failing to reject the null hypothesis does not prove it to be true, it simply suggests that we do not have strong enough evidence against it.

Therefore, the conclusion that can be made from the data is: There is not convincing evidence that the mean delivery time from Japan to Texas is greater than the mean delivery time from Texas to Japan.

This means that while Frank and Lilly may have observed different delivery times, according to this data and the chosen significance level, those differences may as well be due to chance and not due to a true difference in mail delivery times.

Median = 42  pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the following are the weights,in pounds, of some dogs at a kennel: 36,45,29,39,51,49.

Arrange the data in ascending order.

29, 36, 39, 45, 49, 51

Total number of terms = 6 (even)

So, the formula for median is

[tex]Median=\dfrac{\frac{n}{2}\text{th term}+(\frac{n}{2}+1)\text{th term}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Median=\dfrac{\frac{6}{2}\text{th term}+(\frac{6}{2}+1)\text{th term}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Median=\dfrac{3\text{rd term}+4\text{th term}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Median=\dfrac{39+45}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Median=42[/tex]

Hence, the median weight is 42 pounds.

To find the median, units of the data should be same. If one of the weights were given in kilograms, then we cannot find median.

The distance of the foot of the ladder to the building is 14 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of ladder = 20 ft

Angle formed by ladder with level ground, θ = 46

We are required to find out the distance of the foot of the ladder from the building

The above question can be found out by using trigonometric relations as follows;

[tex]Cos\theta = \frac{Adjacent\, side \, to\, angle}{Hypothenus\, side \, of\, triangle}[/tex]

The adjacent side of the right triangle formed by the ladder the building and the ground is the distance of the foot of the ladder from the building

The hypotenuse side is the length of the ladder = 20 ft

Therefore;

Adjacent side of triangle = Hypotenuse × cosθ

∴ Distance of the foot of the ladder from the building = Hypotenuse × cosθ

Distance of the foot of the ladder from the building = 20 ft × cos(56)

Distance of the foot of the ladder from the building = 13.893 ft

To the nearest foot, the distance of the foot of the ladder to the building = 14 ft.

Answer:

Bethanie and Laney walked a total of = 0.66 miles or ([tex]\frac{33}{50}[/tex]th of a mile)

Step-by-step explanation:

Bethanie walked 3/10th of a mile

Laney walked 36/100th of a mile

Lets divide and convert them to decimal:

3 divided by 10 gives us 0.30

36 divided by 100 gives 0.36

Total they walked:

0.30 + 0.36 = 0.66 miles

That would be (in fraction):

66/100 = 33/50 of a mile

Approximately 95.44% of people take between 123 and 171 minutes to read the book.

To find the percentage of people who take between 123 and 171 minutes to read the book, we'll use the properties of the normal distribution.

First, we need to find the z-scores for both 123 and 171 minutes using the formula:

[tex]\[ z = \frac{{X - \mu}}{{\sigma}} \][/tex]

Where:

-[tex]\( X \)[/tex] is the value (in minutes),

-[tex]\( \mu \)[/tex] is the mean (147 minutes),

- [tex]\( \sigma \)[/tex] is the standard deviation (12 minutes).

For 123 minutes:

[tex]\[ z_1 = \frac{{123 - 147}}{{12}} = -2 \][/tex]

For 171 minutes:

[tex]\[ z_2 = \frac{{171 - 147}}{{12}} = 2 \][/tex]

Now, we'll use a standard normal distribution table or calculator to find the percentage of values between these z-scores. For a standard normal distribution, approximately 95.44% of the data falls within ±2 standard deviations from the mean.

So, to find the percentage of people who take between 123 and 171 minutes, we subtract the percentage outside this range from 100%:

[tex]\[ \% = 100 - (100 - 95.44) = 95.44\% \][/tex]

Approximately 95.44% of people take between 123 and 171 minutes to read the book.

Given:

In ΔPQR, ∠Q = 90°

PQ = 8 cm

QR = 15 cm and

PR = 17 cm

To find the value of ∠P.

Formula

By Trigonometric ratio we get,

[tex]tan \theta=\frac{opp}{adj}[/tex]

Now let us take ∠P = θ

With respect to θ, QR be the opposite side and PQ be the adjacent side.

So,

tan θ = [tex]\frac{QR}{PQ}[/tex]

tan θ = [tex]\frac{15}{8}[/tex]

θ = [tex]tan^{-1} (\frac{15}{8} )[/tex]

θ = 61.93° (approx)

Hence, the value of ∠P is 61.93° (approx).

Answer:

61.93°

Step-by-step explanation:

Using cosine law:

15² = 8² + 17² - 2(8)(17)cosP

225 = 353 - 272cosP

cosP = 8/17

P = 61.92751306

The measure of angle 1 in the rhombus is determined as 74⁰.

How to calculate the measure of angle 1?

The measure of angle 1 is calculated by applying the following formula as shown below;

Each diagonal of a rhombus bisects the angle through which it passes.

Also, the opposite angles of a rhombus are equal.

The missing angles of the rhombus is calculated as follows;

(32 + 32) + 4(∠1) = 360 (sum of angles in a rhombus)

64 + 4∠1 = 360

4∠1 = 360 - 64

4∠1 = 296

∠1 = 296 / 4

∠1 = 74⁰

From the diagonal of the rhombus given, we calculated the value of angle 1 as ∠1 = 74⁰.

Kevin's Salary is $45,000.

Final answer:

To solve the system of equations, you can substitute the value of y in terms of x from the third equation into the first two equations.

Explanation:

The system of equations given is:

Y = ½x + 1

Y = -½x - x + 1

y = x - 1

To solve these equations, we can substitute the value of y in terms of x from the third equation into the first two equations:

Substituting y = x - 1 into Y = ½x + 1:

Y = ½(x - 1) + 1

Simplifying, we get:

Y = ½x - ½ + 1

Substituting y = x - 1 into Y = -½x - x + 1:

Y = -½(x - 1) - (x - 1) + 1

Simplifying, we get:

Y = -½x + ½ + 1

Therefore, the system of equations can be simplified to:

Y = ½x - ½ + 1

Y = -½x + ½ + 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Kyle has picked 5 1/3 bushels of apples

He want to pick b more bushels of apple to have 9 bushels in all

A) 5[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] + b = 9 bushels

b) b = 9 - 5 [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] = 3 [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

- Part A: The equation is [tex]\(\frac{16}{3} + b = 9\).[/tex]

- Part B: Kyle needs to pick [tex]\(3 \frac{2}{3}\)[/tex] more bushels of apples.

Let's break down the problem step by step.

Part A: Write an Equation

Kyle has already picked 5 1/3 bushels of apples. He wants to have a total of 9 bushels. We need to find out how many more bushels, b , he needs to pick.

First, convert the mixed number 5 1/3 into an improper fraction:

[tex]\[ 5 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{5 \times 3 + 1}{3} = \frac{15 + 1}{3} = \frac{16}{3} \][/tex]

Now we can write the equation for the total number of bushels he wants:

[tex]\[ \frac{16}{3} + b = 9 \][/tex]

Part B: Solve the Equation

To find b, we solve the equation:

[tex]\[ \frac{16}{3} + b = 9 \][/tex]

Subtract [tex]\(\frac{16}{3}\)[/tex] from both sides of the equation to isolate b :

[tex]\[ b = 9 - \frac{16}{3} \][/tex]

Convert 9 to a fraction with the same denominator as [tex]\(\frac{16}{3}\):[/tex]

[tex]\[ 9 = \frac{9 \times 3}{3} = \frac{27}{3} \][/tex]

Now perform the subtraction:

[tex]\[ b = \frac{27}{3} - \frac{16}{3} = \frac{27 - 16}{3} = \frac{11}{3} \][/tex]

Convert [tex]\(\frac{11}{3}\)[/tex] back to a mixed number if needed:

[tex]\[ \frac{11}{3} = 3 \frac{2}{3} \][/tex]

So, Kyle needs to pick:

[tex]\[ b = 3 \frac{2}{3} \text{ bushels} \][/tex]

Summary

- Part A: The equation is [tex]\(\frac{16}{3} + b = 9\).[/tex]

- Part B: Kyle needs to pick [tex]\(3 \frac{2}{3}\)[/tex] more bushels of apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance of point A from the top of the pole that will make the pole be  perpendicular position to the ground

so, for the pole to be in perpendicular position it must obey Pythagorean theorem

Then, using Pythagoras theorem

c² = a² + b²

x² = 10² + 6²

x² = 100 + 36

x² = 136

x = √136

x = 11.662ft

To nearest tenth

x = 11.7 ft.

So, the pole must be at a distance of 11.7 ft from the top of the pole to point A.

To justify,

10 font long board and an 18 foot long board. To make the ramp right triangle. How long should ramp

So, to calculate the ramp, which is the hypotenuse we will still apply Pythagorean theorem

Then, using Pythagoras theorem

c² = a² + b²

x² = 10² + 18²

x² = 100 + 324

x² = 424

x = √424

x = 20.59 ft

To nearest tenth

x = 20.6 ft.

So, the ramp is 20.6 ft long

Jalen needs to measure 8 feet from point A to the base of the pole to set it perpendicularly to the ground.

To make the pole perpendicular to the ground, Jalen needs to measure the distance from point A to the base of the pole, which forms a right angle at point B.

Using the Pythagorean theorem: Distance AB = √((10)^2 - (6)^2) = √(100 - 36) = √64 = 8 feet.

Therefore, Jalen needs to measure 8 feet from point A to the base of the pole for it to be positioned perpendicularly.
