Answer:

Neither are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of legs = the number of ants * 6.

The relationship is L = 6 a   so neither are correct.

Answer: Both equations are incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ants have 6 legs:

The equation of Elena is:

a = 6*L

where a is ants and L is legs.

this equation says that are equal number of ants tan 6 times the number of legs, this is is not the case;

the number of legs is six times the number of ants, because each ant has 6 legs: L =6*a

the Andre equation is:

L = 0.166*a

Which, again, it is incorrect.

in this case the equation should be:

a = 0.166*L

and the ratio of ants to legs is 1:6 wich means that there is one ant for each 6 legs.

Both options are incorrect

According to a 2014 research study of national student engagement in the U.S., the average college student spends 17 hours per w
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would set up the hypothesis test. This is a test of a single population mean since we are dealing with mean

For the null hypothesis,

µ = 17

For the alternative hypothesis,

µ < 17

This is a left tailed test.

Since the population standard deviation is not given, the distribution is a student's t.

Since n = 80,

Degrees of freedom, df = n - 1 = 80 - 1 = 79

t = (x - µ)/(s/√n)

Where

x = sample mean = 15.6

µ = population mean = 17

s = samples standard deviation = 4.5

t = (15.6 - 17)/(4.5/√80) = - 2.78

We would determine the p value using the t test calculator. It becomes

p = 0.0034

Since alpha, 0.05 > than the p value, 0.0043, then we would reject the null hypothesis.

The data supports the professor’s claim. The average number of hours per week spent studying for students at her college is less than 17 hours per week.

Franklin rides his bike to the beach averaging 18mph. He rides home along the same route. What speed must he average on the way
Sedaia [141]
  • <em>Answer:</em>

<em> 24 mph</em>

  • <em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>

<em>Hi there ! </em>

<em>Vm = 21mph</em>

<em>V1 = 18mph</em>

<em>V2 = ?</em>

<em>Vm = (V₁ + V₂)/2</em>

<em>2Vm = V₁ + V₂</em>

<em>V₂ = 2Vm - V₁</em>

<em>replace Vm ; V₁</em>

<em>V₂ = 2×21mph - 18mph</em>

<em>= 42mph - 18mph</em>

<em>= 24 mph</em>

<em>Good luck !</em>

If a 10-pound turkey costs $20.42.how much does a 21-pound turkey cost
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

$42.88

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's create a proportion using the following setup:

cost/pounds=cost/pounds

We know that it costs $20.42 for a 10 pound turkey.

$20.42/10 pounds= cost/pounds

We don't know how much a 21 pound turkey costs, so we can say that it costs $x for a 21 pound turkey.

$20.42/ 10 pounds= $x/ 21 pounds

20.42/10=x/21

We want to find x, by getting x by itself.

x is being divided by 21. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides by 21.

21*(20.42/10)=(x/21)*21

21* 20.42/10=x

21*2.042=x

42.882=x

Round to the nearest cent, or hundredth.

42.88=x

x= $42.88

A 21 pound turkey costs $42.88

A jar of 150 jelly beans contains 22 red jelly beans, 38 yellow, 20 green, 28 purple, 26 blue, and the rest are orange.Let B = t
pentagon [3]

Answer:

P(R\ and\ B) = 0.0256

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Red = 22

Yellow = 38

Green = 20

Purple = 28

Blue = 26

Orange = 16

Required

Determine the probability of red then blue jelly? i.e. P(R and B)

From the question, we understand that the red jelly bean was not replaced. This means that the number of jelly beans reduced by 1 after the picking of the red jelly bean

So, we have:

P(R\ and\ B) = P(R)\ and\ P(B)

This is then solved further as:

P(R\ and\ B) = P(R)\ *\ P(B)

P(R\ and\ B) = \frac{n(R)}{Total}\ *\frac{n(B)}{Total - 1}

The probability has a denominator of Total - 1 because the number of jelly beans reduced by 1 after the picking of the red jelly bean

The equation becomes:

P(R\ and\ B) = \frac{22}{150}\ *\frac{26}{150- 1}

P(R\ and\ B) = \frac{22}{150}\ *\frac{26}{149}

P(R\ and\ B) = \frac{22*26}{150*149}

P(R\ and\ B) = \frac{572}{22350}

P(R\ and\ B) = 0.02559284116

P(R\ and\ B) = 0.0256
