Answer:

$12.1 < Y < 35.1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Sides: 11.5 and 23.6

Required

Determine the range of the third side

Let the third side with Y

<em>Two of the following conditions must be satisfied to calculate the range of the third side</em>

<em></em> $11.5 + Y > 23.6$

$23.6+ Y > 11.5$

$11.5 + 23.6 > Y$

We'll solve one after other

1. $11.5 + Y > 23.6$

$Y > 23.6 - 11.5$

$Y > 12.1$

2. $23.6+ Y > 11.5$

$Y > 11.5- 23.6$

$Y > -12.1$

3. $11.5 + 23.6 > Y$

$35.1 > Y$

$Y < 35.1$

Inequalities with negative can't be used' So, we have

$Y > 12.1$ and $Y < 35.1$

Rewrite inequality

$12.1 < Y$ and $Y < 35.1$

Combine inequality

$12.1 < Y < 35.1$

The graph represents the speed at which Pete’s marble travels.

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we simply want to know who will reach the 6-foot mark sooner

Mathematically, we need to get the slope from the graph

Looking at the graph, we can see that the 3 ft mark was reached at exactly 2 seconds

So what this mean is that, in 4 seconds, the 6 ft mark will be reached

This makes up the fact that the speed for Pete’s travel is 1.5 ft/ secs

Now compare this with what Stephano has, which is 2.25 ft/ s

we can see that stephano is traveling at a better speed and will reach the 6 ft mark first

So the correct option is B

The water works commission needs to know the mean household usage of water by the residents of a small town in gallons per day.

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer: 387

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Standard deviation: $\sigma=2.3$

Margin of error : 0.15

Critical value for 80% confidence interval = 1.2816

Required minimum sample size : $n=(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \sigma}{E})^2$

$\\\\=(\dfrac{1.2816\times2.3}{0.15})^2\\\\=386.16966144\approx387$

Hence, the minimum sample size required to estimate the mean usage of water = 387

A waitress works 1.75 hours less in the afternoon than in the evening. If she works 5 1/8

gayaneshka [121]

Let $x$ be the number of hours that the waitress works in the evening.

We know for our problem that she works $5 \frac{1}{8}$ in the afternoon and that she works <span>1.75 hours less in the afternoon than in the evening, so:
</span> $x=5 \frac{1}{8} -1.75$
<span>Since </span> $\frac{1}{8} =0.125$ , we can rewrite our expression:
$x=5.125-1.75$
$x=3.375$

We can conclude that she works 3.375 hours in the evening, or expressed as a mixed fraction: $3 \frac{3}{8}$ hours.
