Some students were playing tag on a playground. The number of girls was less than twice the number of boys. If there were 7 girls, how many boys were playing tag? Write an equation and solve.

Answers

Answer 1

The number of boys were playing tag are 5.

What is equation?

Two expressions joined by an equal sign form a mathematical statement known as an equation. An equation is, for instance, 3x - 5 = 16. We can solve this equation and determine that the value of the variable x is 7.

Given: Some students were playing tag on a playground. The number of girls was three less than twice the number of boys. If there were 7 girls.

Suppose the number of boys are x,

So, the number of girls are, 2x - 3.

There are 7 girls.

So, 2x - 3 = 7

2x = 10

x = 10/2

x = 5

Therefore, the number of boys were playing tag are 5.

add w and the sum of 9 and 4

Answers

The addition of w, 9 and 4 is (w+13).

According to the question,

We have the following information:

We need to add w, 9 and 4.

We already know that a variable can only be added or subtracted from the terms having the same variables. For example, 8x can only be added to 5x but not 5y.

So, in this case, w is the variable and it can not be added to any other term because the other two are whole numbers.

Now, the whole numbers can be easily added.

So, we have the following expression:

w+9+4

w+13

Hence, the addition of w, 9 and 4 is (w+13).

Graph refers a diagram that represents the variation of a variable in comparison with that of one or more other variables.

Given,

Here we have the function g(x) = -2x - 3

Now, we need to plot the graph of the function.

In order to plot the graph for the given function,

First we have to take some sample values for the given function and then apply it on the given function to generate the table to plot the graph.

Now, we have to take -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 are the samples value for x.

Then we get the value of the function as,

x = -2 => g(-2) = -2(-2) - 3 = 4 - 3 = 1

x = -1 => g(-1) = -2(-1) - 3 = 2 - 3 = -1

x = 0 => g(0) = -2(0) - 3 = 0 - 3 = -3

x = 1 => g(-2) = -2(1) - 3 = -2 - 3 = -5

x = 2 => g(2) = -2(2) - 3 = -4 - 3 = -7

let o be the point of intersection for the diagnols of quadrilateral abcd prove that abcd could be a trapezoid (that is if it has one sides parallel) is Aaod = Aboc

Answers

From the given proof below, we have been able to show that quadrilateral ABCD is a Trapezoid.

How to identify a Trapezoid?

A trapezoid is also called a trapezium and it is characterized by four straight sides and one set of parallel sides. The parallel sides are referred to as the base, while the non-parallel sides are referred to as the legs.

We are told that;

O is the point of intersection for the diagonals of quadrilateral ABCD;

where;

AO/BO = CO/DO

This can also be expressed as;

AO/CO = BO/DO

Thus, if we create line OE to be parallel to DC which is OE || DC. Then it means that point E lies on BC.

Using the Basic Proportionality Theory, in ΔBDC, we can say that;

BO/OD = BE/EC ............................1

We are also given that:

AO/CO = BO/DO   ..........................2

Thus, from Equations 1 and 2, we have;

AO/CO = BE/EC

Using the converse form of the Basic Proportionality Theorem, we have;

OE || AB

Therefore, AB || OE || DC.

Therefore we can conclude that ABCD is a Trapezoid.

NO LINKS!! Explain the process of constructing a 95% confidence interval to test a null hypothesis and what a 95% confidence interval represents. (Use either proportions or means).​

Answers

At 95% confidence, the z critical value is roughly z = 1.96

You would use a reference table or calculator to determine this value. Unfortunately it's not something that can be easily/quickly found by hand.

If we're trying to estimate the population mean (mu), then we'll use this margin of error formula

E = z*sigma/sqrt(n)

Or if we want to estimate the population proportion (p), then we use this formula

E = z*sqrt(phat*(1-phat)/n)

The confidence interval then spans from (pointEstimate)-E to (pointEstimate)+E. Where "pointEstimate" represents either xbar or phat depending on the context. Other point estimates are possible. We're focusing on these two for now.

xbar estimates mu

phat estimates p

--------------------------------

An example problem:

A manager at a soda bottling plant wants to know if the contents of the cans are 20 fluid ounces (fl oz) or not. Through past observations, the manager has noted the population standard deviation (sigma) is 1.72 fl oz.

The manager gathers a random sample of 50 cans to test their contents. They find the sample mean is 18 fl oz. Conduct a hypothesis test using a confidence interval at 95% confidence to see if the cans really do have 20 fl oz of drink in them or not.

--------------------------------

Solution:

Null Hypothesis: mu = 20

Alternate Hypothesis: mu ≠ 20

This is a two-tailed test.

E = margin of error

E = z*sigma/sqrt(n)

E = 1.96*1.72/sqrt(50)

E = 0.47676

L = lower boundary of confidence interval

L = xbar - E

L = 18 - 0.47676

L = 17.52324

L = 17.52

U = upper boundary of confidence interval

U = xbar + E

U = 18 + 0.47676

U = 18.47676

U = 18.48

The 95% confidence interval is approximately (17.52, 18.48)

This is equivalent to writing 17.52 < mu < 18.48 in which we are 95% confidence in saying mu is between those endpoints.

But wait, the hypothesized mu = 20 is not in the interval 17.52 < mu < 18.48, which indicates we must reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis.  

The soda cans do not have 20 fl oz of drink. It appears they have slightly less than 20 fl oz.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

9)=

By the question:-

x + y = 130-i

x - y = 34-ii

Now,

Add i and ii,

x + y + x -y = 164

or, 2x = 164

so, x = 82

Now,

x -y = 34

or, 82 - y = 34

so, y = 48

The numbers are 82 and 48.

10) =

Let adults ticket be x and childs ticket be y.

x + y = 800

x = 800 - y - eqn i

4.5x + 6y = 4500

Substituting x's value from eqn i,

4.5(800-y) + 6y = 4500

or, 3600 - 4.5y + 6y = 4500

or, 1.5y = 900

so, y = 600

Now,

x + y = 800

or, x + 600 = 800

so, x = 200

Hence, 600 adult tickets were sold and 200 child tickets were sold.

11)=

Let cost of one small box be x and one medium box be y.

So,

4x + 2y = 54-eqn i

x + 2y = 33-eqn ii

subtracting eqn i from ii,

x + 2y - 4x - 2y = - 21

or, -3x = - 21

so, x = 7

Now,

x + 2y = 33

or, 2y = 33 - 7

or, y = 26/2

so, y = 13

So, cost of one small box is $7 and medium box is $13.

What is a proportional relationship?

A proportional relationship is a special case of a linear function, with slope represented by the constant of proportionality of k and intercept of 0, meaning that the relationship passes through the origin.

When the two variables x and y are direct proportional, the output variable y is obtained multiplying the input variable x by the constant of proportionality k, according to the rule presented follows:

y = kx.

From point (2,16) in this problem, the constant is given as follows:

k = 16/2 = 8.

Hence the equation is:

y = 8x.

Meaning that her rate is of:

8 miles per hour.

If she ran faster, the slope = constant would increase, as it represents the velocity.

Factors

Each zero (p) gives rise to a factor (x-p). The zeros 7 and -5 mean the quadratic has factors (x-7) and (x-(-5)).

  f(x) = (x -7)(x +5)

  f(x) = x² -2x -35

Additional comment

You may notice that the coefficient of the linear term is the opposite of the sum of the zeros. The constant term is the product of the zeros. Knowing this, we can write the quadratic without any concern for the factors.

  sum: 7-5 = 2

  product: (7)(-5) = -35
