Answer:
x = 13
Jack is 13 years old and Jill is 11 years old.
====================================================
Explanation:
x = Jack's age
x-2 = Jill's age, since she is 2 years younger than Jack
Add up the ages and set the sum equal to 24 to solve for x
x+(x-2) = 24
2x-2 = 24
2x = 24+2
2x = 26
x = 26/2
x = 13
Jack is 13 years old and his sister is x-2 = 13-2 = 11 years old
Check: 13+11 = 24, so the answer is confirmed.
Suppose you are asked to take a sample of men and women in order to measure their emotional IQ. The emotional IQ scale that you administer has a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 100, with higher scores indicating higher emotional intelligence (the range of the scale is not pertinent to the question -- I simply provide it so that you have some context in which to provide your answer). You sample 25 men and 25 women. The mean for men is 70 with a standard deviation of 10 and the mean for women is 82 with a standard deviation of 15.
Required:
What is the 99% confidence interval for the scores of men and women?
Answer:
The 99% confidence interval for the scores of men is (64.406,75.594).
The 99% confidence interval for the scores of women is (73.609,90.391).
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the standard deviations for the sample, which means that the t-distribution will be used to solve this question.
The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So
df = 25 - 1 = 24
99% confidence interval
Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 24 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.995[/tex]. So we have T = 2.797.
For men:
Standard deviation of 10.
The margin of error is:
[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.797\frac{10}{\sqrt{25}} = 5.594[/tex]
In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 70 - 5.594 = 64.406
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 70 + 5.594 = 75.594
The 99% confidence interval for the scores of men is (64.406,75.594).
For women:
Standard deviation of 15.
The margin of error is:
[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.797\frac{15}{\sqrt{25}} = 8.391[/tex]
In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 82 - 8.391 = 73.609
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 82 + 8.391 = 90.391
The 99% confidence interval for the scores of women is (73.609,90.391).

The playground director has a total of
24 basketballs and footballs. He has
6 more footballs than basketballs, How
many of each does he have?
Answer:
9 basketballs
15 footballs
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of basketballs will be y.
The number of basketballs will be y + 6.
y + y + 6 = 24
2y + 6 = 24
2y + 6 - 6 = 24 - 6
2y = 18
2y ÷ 2 = 18 ÷ 2
y = 9
y + 6
9 + 6 = 15
what is the area of the figure below
Answer:
190 in²

A=36 + 154= 190 in²
For the given equation, find the values of a, b, and c, determine the direction in which the parabola opens, and determine the y-intercept. Decide which table best illustrates these values for the equation:
y = 3 x squared + 2 x minus 8
Answer:
Table A
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 3x^2 +2x -8
The quadratic is in the form
y = a x^2 +bx+c
a = 3 b = 2 c = -8
Since a > 0 it opens up
The y intercept is c so the y intercept is -8
MP of an article is $1400. Find the SP of that article in cents if the shopkeeper adds 13% VAT after allowing 45% discount. (100 cents =$1)
Answer:
87,010 cents is the SP.
Step-by-step explanation:
MP = $1400
VAT = 13%
Discount = 45%
so,
discount amount = 45% of MP
= 45% of $1400
= 45/100 * $1400
= 9/20 * $1400
= 9* $70
= $630
so,
MP - discount amount
= $1400 - $630
= $770(SP)
so,
VAT amount = 13% of SP
= 13% of $770
= 13/100 * $770
= $100.1
so,
SP + VAT
= $770 + $100.1
= $870.1
so,
$1 = 100 cents
$870.1 = 100*870.1
= 87,010 cents

Answer:
Reason 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Reason 1 and 2 are Given
Reason 3 is Reflexive
Reason 4 is Side-Side-Side congruency
Answer:
Reason 5
Step-by-step explanation:
It helps to know what CPCTC means and how it's used.
CPCTC means "corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent."
To use it, you must first either prove two triangles to be congruent or be given that two triangles are congruent.
Once you have the congruent triangles, then you state that two corresponding parts of those triangles are congruent, and you use CPCTC as the reason.
In step 4, the triangles are proven congruent by SSS.
Then CPCTC can be used as reason 5 for stating that the corresponding angles A and C are congruent.

What is the slope of the line passing through (-3, 5) and (5, -3)?
Answer:
The line has a slope of -1.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for the slope of the line, use the rise over run formula. The rise over run formula is a measure of how much something changes vertically compared to how much it changes in the horizontal direction. The rise over run formula calculates the difference between the two points in the vertical direction (rise) and then divide it by the difference in the horizontal direction (run). The formula looks like [tex]\frac{rise}{run}[/tex], but in terms of finding a slope, it looks like [tex]\frac{y_{2 }-y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }[/tex].
For finding the slope of this line with the points (-3,5) and (5,-3), start by writing down the information given from the question.
[tex]y_{2}=-3[/tex]
[tex]y_{1}= 5[/tex]
[tex]x_{2}=5[/tex]
[tex]x_{1} =-3[/tex]
Next, plug in the information given from the question into the formula, and the formula will look like [tex]\frac{-3-(5)}{5-(-3)}[/tex]. Then, simplify the equation, which will look like [tex]\frac{-8}{8}=-1[/tex]. The final answer will be -1.

Environmental researchers have collected rain acidity data for several decades. They want to see if there is any evidence that attempts to reduce industrial pollution have produced a trend toward less acidic rainfall. They should display their data in a(n)... a. Bar graph b. Time plot c. Histogram d. Box plot
Answer:
Time plot
Step-by-step explanation:
The data from which a plot or graph is to be generated will have only one variable, which is the rain acidity, that is acidity level of Rainfall over a certain period. However, the data gbwre is time dependent, hence, it is a time series plot. Hence, this is a two dimensional univariate plot, with the acidity label of Rainfall on one axis and time on the other. Therefore, the graph which is best to display such information is the time series plot.

if for a dog 1 year is 7 ears for them, how many hours in 24 hours is one day for dogs?
Answer:
168hrs in division terms of every 1 year x 7 etc...
It will always be 24hrs nothing changes set of units to same units.
However because the equivalent to a same length of life as human is 1/7 we can do the reciprocal = 7 and do 24 x 7 = 168 hrs, but as many younger and healthy dogs eat and sleep the same as humans then equivalent would be not a good way to compare a dogs life.
Longer life breeds like Labrador or mixed breed dogs if walked at least 4 times a day and away from other dogs and all day young kids can live older than 20 and have actually be more compared to 4-5 years and so the comparison would be like 96 hrs or 120 hrs, but hours stay 24 a day for all animals as units don't change same units. Day represents a day and a year represents sun rise to sun fall to sun rise again x 365.

A group of people were asked if they had run a red light in the last year. 315 responded "yes", and 190 responded "no".
Find the probability that if a person is chosen at random, they have run a red light in the last year.
Give your answer as a fraction or decimal accurate to at least 3 decimal places
Answer:
0.624
Step-by-step explanation:
Number who have run a red light = 315
Number who haven't run a red light = 190
From the data :
The total number of people sampled = total possible outcome = (315 + 190) = 505
Selecting a person at random, probability that the selected person has run a red light :
P = required outcome / Total possible outcomes
Required outcome = Number who have run a red light = 315
P(having run a red light) = 315 / 505 = 0.624

Which of the following is not an example of a parent function?
y=x
y=2x^3
y=1/2
y=2^x
9514 1404 393
Answer:
(b) y=2x^3
Step-by-step explanation:
The function y=2x^3 is an example of the parent function y=x^3 being vertically scaled by a factor of 2. As such, it is not the parent function.
_____
Additional comment
A parent function is one that has not been translated or scaled in any way. One could argue that the parent function of the form y=constant is y=1, so that the function y=1/2 has been scaled by a factor of 1/2. In this problem, we recognize the parent function y=x^3 has clearly been scaled to get y=2x^3, so the latter is not an example of a parent function.
If this is a "check all that apply" question, then y=1/2 is another reasonable answer.

9514 1404 393
Answer:
(a) -7
Step-by-step explanation:
You are given f(x) = -3. Look for -3 in the f(x) column. (You will find it in the first row.)
You want the corresponding value of x. It will be in the first row of the x column. The value there is -7.
The value of x for f(x) = -3 is -7.
