Let x represent gallons of $19 paint
let y represent gallons of $3 paint

first you make your 2 equations

x+y=16, y=16-x
(19x+3y) ÷ 16 = 14

then you use substitution

14 = (19x + 3(16-x) ) ÷16
224 = 19x + 48 - 3x
176 = 16x
11 = x, so there's 11 gallons of $19 paint
recall that x+y=16
11+y=16
5=y

so there are 11 gallons of $19 paint and 5 gallons of $3 paint

Ghella [55]

Answer:

the answer you will get is 61.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First you calcuate the number of days in the learning process there will be which there will be 49 days since 7 days x 7 weeks = 49 days. Then, you divide 3,016 and 49 to get 61.5510204 and then you round that up to get 61.5 or is you want a whole number with no decimals 62

From generation to generation, the mean age when smokers first start to smoke varies. However, the standard deviation of that ag
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

If we compare the p value and the significance level given for example \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we to reject the null hypothesis, and the the actual mean starting age of smokers is significantly lower than 19.      

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation      

\bar X=18.1 represent the mean age when smokers first start to smoke varies  

s=1.3 represent the standard deviation for the sample  

\sigma=2.1 represent the population standard deviation  

n=37 sample size      

\mu_o =5.7 represent the value that we want to test    

\alpha represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.    

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)      

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.      

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to determine if the mean starting age is at least 19, the system of hypothesis would be:      

Null hypothesis:\mu\geq 19      

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 19      

We know the population deviation, so for this case is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:      

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)      

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic      

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:      

z=\frac{18.1-19}{\frac{2.1}{\sqrt{37}}}=-2.607      

Calculate the P-value      

Since is a one-side lower test the p value would be:      

p_v =P(z  

Conclusion      

If we compare the p value and the significance level given for example \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we to reject the null hypothesis, and the the actual mean starting age of smokers is significantly lower than 19.

Simplify the square root of four over the cubed root of four. four raised to the five sixths power four raised to the one sixth
romanna [79]

Answer:

(B)4^{1/6}

Four raised to the one-sixth power

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to simplify:  \dfrac{\sqrt{4} }{\sqrt[3]{4} }

First, we apply the fractional law of indices to each term.

\text{If  } a^{1/x}=\sqrt[x]{a},$ then:\\\sqrt{4}=4^{1/2}\\\sqrt[3]{4}=4^{1/3}

We then have:

\dfrac{\sqrt{4} }{\sqrt[3]{4} }=\dfrac{4^{1/2} }{4^{1/3} }\\$Applying the division law of indices: \dfrac{a^m }{a^n }=a^{m-n}\\\dfrac{4^{1/2} }{4^{1/3} }=4^{1/2-1/3}\\\\=4^{1/6}

The correct option is B.
