Answer:

0.465

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve 3x + 2 = 15 for x using the change of base formula log base b of y equals log y over log b. −1.594 0.465 2.406 4.465

rearranging the question

$3^{x+2} =15$ .........1

the change of base in logarithm is given by.

$log_{b} a=\frac{loga}{logb}$

back to equation 1

taking logarithm of the other end

x+2= $log_{3} 15$

x+2=log 15/log 3

also

we could write

x+2(log3)=log15

x+2=2.465

x=2.465-2

x=0.465

<u>Answer:</u>

The value in 3x + 2 = 15 for x using the change of base formula is 0.465 approximately and second option is correct one.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, expression is $3^{(x+2)}=15$

We have to solve the above expression using change of base formula which is given as

$\log _{b} a=\frac{\log a}{\log b}$

Now, let us first apply logarithm for the given expression.

Then given expression turns into as, $x+2=\log _{3} 15$

By using change of base formula,

$x+2=\frac{\log _{10} 15}{\log _{10} 3}$

x + 2 = 2.4649

x = 2.4649 – 2 = 0.4649

Hence, the value of x is 0.465 approximately and second option is correct one.

Marketing companies have collected data implying that teenage girls use more ring tones on their cell phones than teenage boys d

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

The p-value here is 0.0061, which is very small and we have evidence that the girls' mean is higher than the boys' mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

We suppose that the two samples are independent and normally distributed with equal variances. Let $\mu_{1}$ be the mean number of ring tones for girls, and $\mu_{2}$ the mean number of ring tones for boys.

We want to test $H_{0}: \mu_{1}-\mu_{2} = 0$ vs $H_{1}: \mu_{1}-\mu_{2} > 0$ (upper-tail alternative).

The test statistic is

T = $\frac{\bar{X}_{1}-\bar{X}_{2}-0}{S_{p}\sqrt{1/n_{1}+1/n_{2}}}$

where

$S_{p} = \sqrt{\frac{(n_{1}-1)S_{1}^{2}+(n_{2}-1)S_{2}^{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}-2}}$ .

For this case, $n_{1}=n_{2}=20$ , $\bar{x}_{1}=3.2$ , $s_{1}=1.5$ , $\bar{x}_{2}=2.2$ , $s_{2}=0.8$ .

$s_{p} = \sqrt{\frac{(19)(1.5)^{2}+(19)(0.8)^{2}}{38}} = 1.2021$ and the observed value is

t = $\frac{3.2-2.2}{1.2021\sqrt{1/20+1/20}} = \frac{1}{0.3801} = 2.6309$ .

We can compute the p-value as P(T > 2.6309) where T has a t distribution with 20 + 20 - 2 = 38 degrees of freedom, so, the p-value is 0.0061. Because the p-value is very small, we can reject the null hypothesis for instance, at the significance level of 0.05.

De acuerdo con los registros de una empresa, se requieren 54 toneladas de naranjas para producir 45 toneladas de concentrado en

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

79.2 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

What must be done is to apply a proportion rule, taking into account what happened in the registry and what is wanted for this new year. In the following way we can calculate the amount of tons of oranges.

Powder concentrate Oranges

45 tons -------------------------> 54 Tons

66 tons -------------------------> X Tons

X = 66 * 54/45

X = 79.2, that is to say that 79.2 tons are necessary to produce 66 tons of powder concentrate to make juice.

Complete Question

Fifteen percent of the students at Central High take Spanish, 12% take French, and 4% take both. If a student is selected at random, what is the

probability that the student takes Spanish or French?

A 31%

B. 27%

C. 23%

D. 19%

Answer:

C. 23%

Step-by-step explanation:

At Central High

From the question, we are told that:

Spanish = 15%

French = 12%

Spanish and French = 4%

French or Spanish = unknown

Therefore, the probability that a student at random takes Spanish or French

= P(Spanish) + P(French) - P(Spanish and French)

= 15% + 12% - 4%

= 27% - 4%

= 23%
