Answer:

<h2> $length = \frac{25}{28}$ </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle be l

Area of a rectangle = length × width

From the question

Area = 25/42

width = 5/6

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for the length

That's

<h3> $length = \frac{area}{width}$ </h3>

So we have

<h3> $length = \frac{25}{42} \div \frac{4}{6} \\ = \frac{25}{42} \times \frac{6}{4} \\ = \frac{25}{7} \times \frac{1}{4}$ </h3>

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Tickets to a musical cost $30 for adults and $12 for children. At one particular performance 960 people attended and $19 080 was

postnew [5]

In order to solve this, you have to set up a systems of linear equations.

Let's say that children = c and adults = a

30a + 12c = 19,080
a + c = 960

I'm going to show you how to solve this system of linear equations by substitution, the easiest way to solve in my opinion.

a + c = 960
- c - c
---------------------- ⇒ Step 1: Solve for either a or c in either equation.
a = 960 - c

20(960 - c)+ 12c = 19,080
19,200 - 20c + 12c = 19,080
19,200 - 8c = 19,080
- 19,200 - 19,200
---------------------------------- ⇒ Step 2: Substitute in the value you got for a or c
8c = -120 into the opposite equation.
------ ---------
8 8

c = -15

30a + 12(-15) = 19,080
30a - 180 = 19,080
+ 180 + 180
-------------------------------
30a = 19,260
------- -----------
30 30

a = 642

I just realized that there can't be a negative amount of children, so I'm sorry if these results are all wrong.

Chuck chooses an investment plan that requires him to make a one-time investment of $10,000, and then equal monthly investments

Pepsi [2]

As the function is

y = 10,000 + 350x , Here x is the number of months elapsed and y is the amount after x number of months.

This function is for the form

y = mx +b or y = b +mx

which is the form of a linear equation

So the given function is a linear function.

So a is true

a)The function is a linear function.

Also The function is increasing at a constant rate , So options C and E are also correct

A, C and E

In general, the probability that a blood donor has Type A blood is 0.40.Consider 8 randomly chosen blood donors, what is the pro

postnew [5]

Answer:

The probability that more than half of them have Type A blood in the sample of 8 randomly chosen donors is P(X>4)=0.1738.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be modeled as a binomial random variable with n=8 and p=0.4.

The probability that k individuals in the sample have Type A blood can be calculated as:

$P(x=k) = \dbinom{n}{k} p^{k}(1-p)^{n-k}\\\\\\P(x=k) = \dbinom{8}{k} 0.4^{k} 0.6^{8-k}\\\\\\$

Then, we can calculate the probability that more than 8/2=4 have Type A blood as:

$P(X>4)=P(X=5)+P(X=6)+P(X=7)+P(X=8)\\\\\\P(x=5) = \dbinom{8}{5} p^{5}(1-p)^{3}=56*0.0102*0.216=0.1239\\\\\\P(x=6) = \dbinom{8}{6} p^{6}(1-p)^{2}=28*0.0041*0.36=0.0413\\\\\\P(x=7) = \dbinom{8}{7} p^{7}(1-p)^{1}=8*0.0016*0.6=0.0079\\\\\\P(x=8) = \dbinom{8}{8} p^{8}(1-p)^{0}=1*0.0007*1=0.0007\\\\\\\\P(X>4)=0.1239+0.0413+0.0079+0.0007=0.1738$

A math teacher tells her students that eating a healthy breakfast on a test day will help their brain function and perform well

kogti [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

To test the claim that eating a healthy breakfast improves the performance of students on their test a math teacher randomly asked 46 students what did they have for breakfast before they took the final exam and classified them as:

<u>Group 1</u>: Ate healthy breakfast

X₁: Number of students that ate a healthy breakfast before the exam and earned 80% or higher.

n₁= 26

<u>Group 2: </u>Did not eat healthy breakfast

X₂: Number of students that did not eat a healthy breakfast before the exam and earned 80% or higher.

n₂= 20

After the test she counted the number of students that got 80% or more in the test for each group obtaining the following sample proportions:

p'₁= 0.50

p'₂= 0.40

The parameters of study are the population proportions, if the claim is true then p₁ > p₂

And you can determine the hypotheses as

H₀: p₁ ≤ p₂

H₁: p₁ > p₂

α: 0.05

$Z= \frac{(p'_1-p'_2)-(p_1-p_2)}{\sqrt{p'(1-p')[\frac{1}{n_1} +\frac{1}{n_2}] } } }$ ≈N(0;1)

pooled sample proportion: $p'= \frac{x_1+x_2}{n_1+n_2} =\frac{13+8}{46} = 0.46$

$Z_{H_0}= \frac{(0.5-0.4)-0}{\sqrt{0.46(1-0.46)[\frac{1}{26} +\frac{1}{20}] } } }= 0.67$

p-value: 0.2514

The decision rule is:

If p-value ≤ α, reject the null hypothesis.

If p-value > α, do not reject the null hypothesis.

The p-value: 0.2514 is greater than the significance level 0.05, the test is not significant.

At a 5% significance level you can conclude that the population proportion of math students that obtained at least 80% in the test and had a healthy breakfast is equal or less than the population proportion of math students that obtained at least 80% in the test and didn't have a healthy breakfast.

So having a healthy breakfast doesn't seem to improve the grades of students.

I hope this helps!
