We'll let x represent the weight of Ian's dog.

So we can make the formula Ian's dog (x) + Stephen' dog (5x) = 72

So:
 x+5x=72
6x=72
x=12

So ian's dog is 12 pounds, but we're trying to find stephen's dog (5x)

We need to multiply x by 5 so:

5(12)=60

Therefore, Stephen's dog is 60 pounds

If x was Ian's dog, you could then out it into an equation, looking like :
x + 5x = 72
Then you would simplify:
6x = 72
And then you can solve
6x = 72
÷ 6
x = 12
Now we know that Ian's dog is 12 pounds, if we multiply 12 by 5 we get Stephen's dog, which is 60 pounds. Hope this helps!

Determine the density in g/cm3 of a mineral that has a volume of 3.8 cm3 and a mass of 22.4 g.
kherson [118]

Answer:

5.89 g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

givens,

Mass = 22.4 g

volume = 3.8 cm³

Density = mass / volume

= 22.4 / 3.8

= 5.89 g/cm³

Mr. Woo wants to ship a fishing rod to his son that is 42 inches long. He has a box that measures 10 inches by 10 inches by 40 i
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

The 42 inches long fishing rod will fit in the box.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal of a cuboidal box is the largest measurement inside the box.

Now, the dimensions of the box are 10 inches by 10 inches by 40 inches.

Therefore, the diagonal length of the box is \sqrt{10^{2} + 10^{2} + 40^{2}} = 42.42 inches which is greater than 42 inches.

Hence, the 42 inches long fishing rod will fit in the box. (Answer)

A large manufacturing plant has analyzed the amount of time required to produce an electrical part and determined that the times
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

We conclude that the new procedure will not decrease the population mean amount of time required to produce the part.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a large manufacturing plant has analyzed the amount of time required to produce an electrical part and determined that the times follow a normal distribution with mean time μ = 45 hours.

A random sample of 25 parts will be selected and the average amount of time required to produce them will be determined. The sample mean amount of time is = 43.118 hours with the sample standard deviation s = 5.5 hours

<em>Let </em>\mu<em> = population mean amount of time required to produce an electrical part using new procedure</em>

SO, <u>Null Hypothesis</u>, H_0 : \mu \geq  45 hours   {means that the new procedure will remain same or increase the population mean amount of time required to produce the part}

<u>Alternate Hypothesis,</u> H_a : \mu < 45 hours   {means that the new procedure will decrease the population mean amount of time required to produce the part}

The test statistics that will be used here is <u>One-sample t test statistics </u>because we don't know about the population standard deviation;

              T.S.  = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } }  ~ t_n_-_1

where,  \mu = sample mean amount of time = 43.118 hours

             s = sample standard deviation = 5.5 hours

             n = sample of parts = 25

So, <u><em>test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{43.118-45}{{\frac{5.5}{\sqrt{25} } } }  ~ t_2_4

                               =  -1.711

<em>Now at 0.025 significance level, the t table gives critical value of -2.064 at 24 degree of freedom for left-tailed test. Since our test statistics is more than the critical value of t so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region.</em>

Therefore, we conclude that the new procedure will remain same or increase the population mean amount of time required to produce the part.

The starting salaries of individuals with an mba degree are normally distributed with a mean of $40,000 and a standard deviation
horsena [70]
<span>With the mean of 40k and standard deviation of 5k, we need to find P(x>=30k). P((30k-40k)/5k) = P(z<-2) = 1-0.0228 which is equal to 0.9772. There is a 97.72% chances that the starting salary will be at least 30k.</span>
