David's age: x
Joshua: x + 5
Simon: (x+5) + 4 or x + 9

Simon's age + David's age = 15
(x+9) + (x) = 15
2x = 15 - 9
2x/2 = 6/2
x = 3

The ages of the boys:

David: x = 3 years old
Joshua: 3+5 = 8 years old
Simon: 3+9 = 12 years old

Effectus [21]
Work the information to set inequalities that represent each condition or restriction.

2) Name the variables. 

c: number of color copies
b: number of black-and-white copies

3) Model each restriction:

i) <span>It takes 3 minutes to print a color copy and 1 minute to print a black-and-white copy.
</span><span>
</span><span>3c + b
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>ii) He needs to print at least 6 copies ⇒ c + b ≥ 6
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>iv) And must have the copies completed in no more than 12 minutes ⇒</span>

3c + b ≤ 12
<span />

4) Additional restrictions are c ≥ 0, and b ≥ 0 (i.e. only positive values for the number of each kind of copies are acceptable)

5) This is how you graph that:

i) 3c + b ≤ 12: draw the line 3c + b = 12 and shade the region up and to the right of the line.

ii) c + b ≥ 6: draw the line c + b = 6 and shade the region down and to the left of the line.

iii) since c ≥ 0 and b ≥ 0, the region is in the first quadrant.

iv) The final region is the intersection of the above mentioned shaded regions.

v) You can see such graph in the attached figure.

Find pb, if pj=14 and jb= 28
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given, point j is the midpoint, as it is shared by both line segments. Set the equation:

pb = pj + jb

Note:

pj = 14

jb = 28

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:

pb = pj + jb

pb = 14 + 28

pb = 42

pb = 42 is your answer.

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

The <em>t</em>-value used for the 95% confidence interval of paired data is 2.776.

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval formula for mean difference for a paired data is as follows:

CI=\bar x_{d}\pm t_{\alpha/2, (n-1)}\times \frac{s_{d}}{\sqrt{n}}

Here,

\bar x_{d} = sample mean of the difference,

s_{d} = sample standard deviation of the difference,

<em>n </em>= sample size (both samples are of same size).

t_{\alpha/2, (n-1)} = critical value of <em>t</em>

(<em>n</em> - 1) = degrees of freedom

The information provided is:

<em>n</em> = 5

Confidence level = 95%

The critical value of <em>t</em> is:

t_{\alpha/2, (n-1)}=t_{0.05/2, (5-1)}

               =t_{0.025, 4}

               =2.776

*Use a <em>t</em>-table for the critical value of <em>t</em>.

Thus, the <em>t</em>-value used for the 95% confidence interval of paired data is 2.776.
