Answer:

Distance between the police station and the fire station be 4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let distance between the police station and the fire station be x miles.

The distance between the library and the police station is 3 miles less than twice the distance between the police station and the fire station.

Distance between the library and the police station $=2x-3$

Also, distance between the library and the police station is 5 miles.

$2x-3=5\\2x=3+5\\2x=8\\x=\frac{8}{2}\\ x=4\,\,miles$

Complete the sentence. the roots of the equation x^2 - 8x - 48 = 0 are -4 and *blank*

prisoha [69]

Answer:

12 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to get the roots of the equation is to factorize the equation but when the factors are not possible then we should apply the quadratic equations formula to get the value of x.

Now we will try to factorize

x² - 8x -48 = 0

Now we multiply coefficient of highest degree term and constant term

48×1 = 48 which may be factored in 12×4. 8×6, 24×2.

Now we will choose 12×4 out of three because the 12-4 = 8 which is the coefficient of x.

Now its simple.

x²-12x + 4x -48 = 0

x(x -12) + 4(x-12) = 0

(x +4)(x-12) = 0

Therefore roots are x + 4 = 0

x = -4

and x - 12 = 0

x = 12

So the answer is 12.

Answer:

Option A , should not be rejected

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Sample 1 $n=25$

Standard deviation 1 $\sigma_1=30$

Sample 2 $n=16$

Standard deviation 2 $\sigma_2=20$

Level of confidence $\alpha=95\%=>0.95$

Generally The Hypothesis are given as

$H_0:\sigma_1^2=\sigma_1^2$

$H_1:\sigma_1^2\neq \sigma_1^2$

Generally the equation for test Statistics is mathematically given by

$T=\frac{\sigma_1^2}{\sigma_2^2}$

$T=\frac{30^2}{20^2}$

$T=2.25$

Therefore

Critical Value

$X=(\alpha,df_1)$

$X'=(\alpha,df_2)$

Where

$df=n-1$

Therefore

$X=(0.95,24)$

$X'=(0.95,15)$

From Table

$T_{Critical}=T_x,T_{x'}$

$T_{Critical}=0.41,2.701$

Therefore

$T_x$

Hence,We fail to reject the Null Hypothesis $H_0$

Option A , should not be rejected
