Gordon's friend, Kendrick, selected Myopia. He read eight pages in class on October 19th and begins reading again on October 23r

d. He needs to read at least 350 pages by the end of the day on October 28th. Write and solve an inequality to represent this situation and graph the solution on a number line. Let p represent the number of pages read per day. How many pages must Kendrick read per day to accomplish his goal?

First off, how many pages did Kendrick read? 8. How many days does Kendrick have left until he needs to have read 350 pages? 6. Using those facts, write an equation; 8 + 6p = 350. 

To solve that equation, first subtract 8 from 350 to get 342. Doing this will isolate the variable, which is 6p. You will end up with this; 6p = 342. With this equation, divide both sides of the equation by 6. 

In conclusion, your final answer should be 57 pages.

Assume the blood pressures of 10 people were measured before and after sleeping for the night. What is the corresponding critica
NeX [460]

Answer:

For the critical value we need to calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

df = n-1= 10-1=9

And since we have a one tailed test we need to look in the t distribution with 9 degrees of freedom a quantile who accumulates 0.05 of the area on a tail and we got:

|t_{crit}| =1.833

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A paired t-test is used to compare two population means where you have two samples in which observations in one sample can be paired with observations in the other sample. For example if we have Before-and-after observations (This problem) we can use it.  

Let put some notation  

x=test value with right arm , y = test value with left arm  

The system of hypothesis for this case are:  

Null hypothesis: \mu_y- \mu_x = 0  

Alternative hypothesis: \mu_y -\mu_x \neq 0  

The first step is calculate the difference d_i=y_i-x_i

The second step is calculate the mean difference  

\bar d= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n d_i}{n}= \frac{361}{5}  

The third step would be calculate the standard deviation for the differences, and we got:  

s_d =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (d_i -\bar d)^2}{n-1}  

The 4 step is calculate the statistic given by :  

t=\frac{\bar d -0}{\frac{s_d}{\sqrt{n}}}  

For the critical value we need to calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

df = n-1= 10-1=9

And since we have a one tailed test we need to look in the t distribution with 9 degrees of freedom a quantile who accumulates 0.05 of the area on a tail and we got:

|t_{crit}| =1.833

Elizabeth lives in San Francisco and works in Mountain View. In the morning, she has 333 transportation options (take a bus, a c
matrenka [14]
All transportation (bus, cab, train) are all similarly likely to be selected, and 1 of them must be selected at morning and evening, so we get: P (bus) = P (cab) = P (train) = 1/3. We also have P(no cab in evening) = P(no cab at morning) = 2/3 
Now, P(using cab exactly once) = P(cab at morning and no cab in the evening) + P(no cab at morning and cab in the evening)
= P(cab, no cab) + P(no cab, cab) 
= 1/3 * 2/3 + 2/3 * 1/3 
= 2/9 + 2/9 
= 4/9 
Probability that Elizabeth uses a cab only once is 4/9.

Mustafa, Heloise, and Gia have written more than a combined total of 22 articles for the school newspaper.
Ghella [55]

Answer:  The required inequality is x+\dfrac{1}{4}x+\dfrac{3}{2}x>22. and its solution is x>8.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Mustafa, Heloise, and Gia have written more than a combined total of 22 articles for the school newspaper.

Also, Heloise has written \frac{1}{4} as many articles as Mustafa has and Gia has written \frac{3}{2} as many articles as Mustafa has.

We are to write an inequality to determine the number of articles, m, Mustafa could have written for the school newspaper.  Also, to solve the inequality.

Since m denotes the number of articles that Mustafa could have written. Then, according to the given information, we have

x+\dfrac{1}{4}x+\dfrac{3}{2}x>22.

And the solution of the above inequality is as follows :

x+\dfrac{1}{4}x+\dfrac{3}{2}x>22\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{4x+x+6x}{4}>22\\\\\\\Rightarrow 11x>88\\\\\Rightarrow x>\dfrac{88}{11}\\\\\Rightarrow x>8.

Thus, the required inequality is x+\dfrac{1}{4}x+\dfrac{3}{2}x>22. and its solution is x>8.

A supervisor records the repair cost for 17 randomly selected stereos. A sample mean of $66.34 and standard deviation of $15.22
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Critical value: T = 1.337

The 80% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the stereos is between $45.991 and $86.689

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample. So we use the t-distribution to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 17 - 1 = 16

80% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 16 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.8}{2} = 0.9. So we have T = 1.337, which is the critical value

The margin of error is:

M = T*s = 1.337*15.22 = 20.349

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 66.34 - 20.349 = $45.991

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 66.34 + 20.349 = $86.689

The 80% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the stereos is between $45.991 and $86.689
