First we have to figure out how many hours have passed. Since 1PM also means 1300 hours, we'll subtract 9 from 13. 13-9=4. therefore, 4 hours have passed. if it gains 4 minutes every hour, we'll multiply the amount of hours that have passed by the amount the clock gains every hour. 4x4=16. now we subtract 16 from 1300 because the clock is ahead of the real time, but remember and hour only has 60 minutes! 1300-16=1244. Therefore, the correct time is 12:44PM.

Answer:

For the sampling distribution,

a) Mean = μₓ = 55.0 students.

b) Standard Deviation = 1.8 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete Question is attached to this solution.

The Central limit theorem explains that for the sampling distribution, the mean is approximately equal to the population mean and the standard deviation of the sampling distribution is related to the population standard deviation through

σₓ = (σ/√n)

where σ = population standard deviation = 4

n = sample size = 5

Mean = population mean

μₓ = μ = 55 students.

Standard deviation

σₓ = (σ/√n) = (4/√5) = 1.789 students = 1.8 students to 1 d.p

Hope this Helps!!!

A pure acid measuring x liters is added to 300 liters of a 20% acidic solution. The concentration of acid, f(x), in the new subs
Nitella [24]

Answer How many liters of a 20% acid solution should be mixed with 30 liters of 50% acid solution in order to obtain a 40% solution. ... x=15 liters 15*(.20 pure acid)=3 liters 30*(.50 pure acid)=15 liters That is 18 liters pure acid That is 45 liters solution *0.45 pure acid=18 liters.

Using a sheet of graph paper, solve the following system of equations graphically. Be sure to show any work, use a straight edge
BigorU [14]

we have the following system of equations

x + y = 0\\x - y + 2 = 0

we know that

The intersection of both graphs is the solution of the system of equations

using a graph tool

see the attached figure

the solution is the point (-1,1)

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the solution of the system of equations is the point (-1,1)

What is the value of x, if 105% of 90 is equal to 200% of x?
lisov135 [29]

From the given equation

105% * 90 = 200% * x

105/100 * 90 = 200/100 * x

105*90 = 200*x

x = 105*90/200

X = 21*9/4

X = 189/4

x = 47.25

Value of x = 47.25 or 47 1/4

Which statements about the graph of the function f(x) = 2x^2– x – 6 are true? Select two options.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Please, share the answer options next time.

1)  f(x) = 2x^2– x – 6 is a quadratic function.  

2) The coefficients of this polynomial are a = 2, b = -1 and c = -6

2)  Its graph opens up.

3)  The x-value of the axis of symmetry and the vertex is x = -b / (2a), which here comes out to x = -(-1) / [2(2)], or x = 1/4

4) the y coordinate of the vertex is f(1/4), or -6 1/8

5) The vertex is at (1/4, -6 1/8)

6)  The y-intercept is at f(0):  2(0)^2 - 0 - 6 = -6  =>  (0, -6)
