Answer: Jacob is 7 years old.

Step-by-step explanation: 5 years ago, Jacob was 2 years old and his brother was 12. Now, in three years, Jacob will be 10 and his brother will be 20. To find the answer, you need a system of equations. The first equation will be 6(J-5) = B - 5, where J is Jacob's current age and B is his brother's. The next equation will be 2(J + 3) = B + 3. Now, just solve the equation. I gave you the answer, but please work through the problem so you understand it :D

Ursula Works At A Print Shop. She Uses A Printer That Can Print 12 Pages Per Minute. Yesterday She Started Printing Flyers For A

BigorU [14]

Answer:

10:30 am.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Ursula uses a printer that can print 12 pages per minute.

Ursula started printing flyer for an order yesterday. Today at 8 am she continued working on the order, and by 9 a.m. she had 420 flyers for the order completed. The order was to print 1500 pages.

Let us find the number of pages left to print.

$\text{Number of the pages left to print}=1500-420$

$\text{Number of the pages left to print}=1080$

To find the time it will take to print 1080 pages we will divide number of pages left to print by number of pages printed per minute.

$\text{Time it will take to print 1080 pages}=\frac{1080\text{pages}}{\frac{\text{12 pages}}{\text{minute}}}}$

$\text{Time it will take to print 1080 pages}=\frac{1080\text{pages}}{12}\times \frac{\text{minute}}{\text{page}}}$

$\text{Time it will take to print 1080 pages}=90\text{ minutes}$

90 minutes will be 1.5 hours , so 1.5 hours after 9 am will be 10:30 am. Therefore, the job was finished at 10:30 am.

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval would be given by (57.006;62.994)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

$\bar X=60$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma=10$ represent the population standard deviation

n=30 represent the sample size

Assuming the X follows a normal distribution

$X \sim N(\mu, \sigma=10)$

The sample mean $\bar X$ is distributed on this way:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

The confidence interval on this case is given by:

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

The next step would be find the value of $\z_{\alpha/2}$ , $\alpha=1-0.90=0.1$ , $\alpha/2 =0.05$ and $z_\alpha/2=1.64$

Using the normal standard table, excel or a calculator we see that:

$z_{\alpha/2}=1.64$

Since we have all the values we can replace:

$60 - 1.64\frac{10}{\sqrt{30}}=57.006$

$60 + 1.64\frac{10}{\sqrt{30}}=62.994$

So on this case the 90% confidence interval would be given by (57.006;62.994)

part 3. Find the value of the trig function indicated, use Pythagorean theorem to find the third side if you need it.

Nat2105 [25]

Answer: $\bold{9)\ \sin \theta=\dfrac{1}{3}\qquad 10)\ \sin \theta = \dfrac{4}{5}\qquad 11)\ \cos \theta = \dfrac{\sqrt{11}}{6}\qquad 12)\ \tan \theta = \dfrac{17\sqrt2}{26}}$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Pythagorean Theorem is: a² + b² = c² , <em>where "c" is the hypotenuse</em>

<em />

$9)\ \sin \theta=\dfrac{\text{side opposite of}\ \theta}{\text{hypotenuse of triangle}}=\dfrac{4}{12}\quad \rightarrow \large\boxed{\dfrac{1}{3}}$

Note: 4² + (8√2)² = hypotenuse² → hypotenuse = 12

$10)\ \sin \theta=\dfrac{\text{side opposite of}\ \theta}{\text{hypotenuse of triangle}}=\dfrac{16}{20}\quad \rightarrow \large\boxed{\dfrac{4}{5}}$

Note: 12² + opposite² = 20² → opposite = 16

$11)\ \cos \theta=\dfrac{\text{side adjacent to}\ \theta}{\text{hypotenuse of triangle}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{11}}{6}\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{\sqrt{11}}{6}}$

Note: adjacent² + 5² = 6² → adjacent = √11

$12)\ \tan \theta=\dfrac{\text{side opposite of}\ \theta}{\text{side adjacent to}\ \theta}=\dfrac{17}{13\sqrt2}\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{17\sqrt2}{26}}$

Note: adjacent² + 7² = (13√2)² → adjacent = 17
