The number of hours Jeremiah ironed = 10 hours

The number of hours Tristan ironed = 7 hours

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

  • Jeremiah can iron = 35 shirts per hour
  • Tristan can iron = 20 shirts per hour
  • Total work done by both = 490 shirts

Let 'x' be the number of hours Jeremiah ironed.

Let 'y' be the number of hours Tristan ironed.

x+y = 17   ------(1)

35x + 20y = 490  -------(2)

Multiply (1) by 20 and subtract (2) from (1),

 20x + 20y = 340

-(<u>35x + 20y = 490</u>)

 <u>-15x         = -150 </u>

x = 150/15

x = 10

Substitute x=10 in (1)

10+y = 17

y = 7

yanalaym [24]

Answer:the uncle is 54 years old.

The woman is 18 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the age of the uncle.

Let y represent the age of the woman that he married.

In the film, an actor played an elderly uncle character is criticized for marrying a woman when he is 3 times her age. This means that

x = 3y

He wittily replies, "Ah, but in 18 years time I shall only be twice her age. It means that

x + 18 = 2(y + 18)

x + 18 = 2y + 36 - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 3y into equation 1, it becomes

3y + 18 = 2y + 36

3y - 2y = 36 - 18

y = 18

x = 3y = 3 × 18

x = 54

The weight, y, in pounds, of kittens was tracked for the first 8 weeks after birth where t represents the number of weeks after
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The mentioned relationship for the weight, in pounds, of the kitten with respect to time, in weeks, is

\hat y =1.7 +1.48t

Weight of the kitten after 10 weeks

\hat y =1.7 +1.48\times 10

\hat y =16.5 pounds

This modeled equation is based on the observation of the early age of a kitten where the kitten is in its growth period, but in the early stage the growth rate in the weight of the kitten was the same but the growth of any living beings continues till the adult stage. So, after some time, in real life situation, this weekly change in weight will become zero, So, this model is not suitable to measure the weight of the kitten over the larger time period.

Here, t= 10 weeks is nearby the observed time period, so the linearly modeled equation can be used to predict the weight.

Hence, the weight of the kitten after 10 weeks is 16.5 pounds.

A random sample of 28 statistics tutorials was selected from the past 5 years and the percentage of students absent from each on
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

X: number of absences per tutorial per student over the past 5 years(percentage)

X≈N(μ;σ²)

You have to construct a 90% to estimate the population mean of the percentage of absences per tutorial of the students over the past 5 years.

The formula for the CI is:

X[bar] ± Z_{1-\alpha /2} * \frac{S}{\sqrt{n} }

⇒ The population standard deviation is unknown and since the distribution is approximate, I'll use the estimation of the standard deviation in place of the population parameter.

Number of Absences 13.9 16.4 12.3 13.2 8.4 4.4 10.3 8.8 4.8 10.9 15.9 9.7 4.5 11.5 5.7 10.8 9.7 8.2 10.3 12.2 10.6 16.2 15.2 1.7 11.7 11.9 10.0 12.4

X[bar]= 10.41

S= 3.71

Z_{1-\alpha /2}= Z_{0.95}= 1.645

[10.41±1.645*(\frac{3.71}{\sqrt{28} } )]

[9.26; 11.56]

Using a confidence level of 90% you'd expect that the interval [9.26; 11.56]% contains the value of the population mean of the percentage of absences per tutorial of the students over the past 5 years.

I hope this helps!

One of your employees has suggested that your company develop a new product. You decide to take a random sample of your customer
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

269

Step-by-step explanation:

The margin of Error is E = 0.05

The level of significance is, α = 1 - confidence level = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1

Assume that the proportion is, p =0.5

From the standard normal table, observe that the critical value of Z for two tail test and 10% level of significance is 1.64

The calculation of sample size is as follows: n = (Z/E)²p(1-p)

n = (1.64/0.05)²0.5 (1 - 0.5)

n = (1.64/0.05)² 0.25

n = 1075.84 × 0.25

n = 268.96 ≈ 269

The required sample size with the given margin of error approximately is 269. This value indicates the size of the customers who are using this company’s products.
