Seth and Ted can paint a room in 5 hours if they work together. If Ted were to work by himself, it would take him 2 hours longer than it would take Seth working by himself. How long would it take Seth to paint the room by himself if Ted calls in sick?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

9 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of hours it would take Seth to work by himself

He would paint 1/x in 1 hour

x + 2 = number of hours it would take Ted to work by himself

He would paint 1/(x + 2) in 1 hour

Seth and Ted = 5 hours

They would paint 1/5 in 1 hour

The equation is this:

1/x + 1/(x + 2) = 1/5

(x + 2)+x/x(x+2) = 1/5

x+2+x / x(x+2) = 1/5

2x + 2 / x(x+2) = 1/5

2x + 2 = x(x + 2)1/5

2x + 2 = (x² + 2x)1/5

5(2x + 2) = x² + 2x

10x + 10 = x² + 2x

x² + 2x - 10x - 10 = 0

x² - 8x - 10 = 0

x = -b ± √b² - 4ac/2a

= -(-8) ± √(-8)² - 4(1)(-10) / 2(1)

= 8 ± √64 - (-40) / 2

= 8 ± √64 + 40) / 2

= 8 ± √104 / 2

= 8 ± 2√26 / 2

= 8/2 ± 2√26/2

= 4 ± √26

= 4 ± 5.0990195135927

= 4 + 5.0990195135927 or 4 - 5.0990195135927

= 9.0990195135927 or -1.Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of hours it would take Seth to work by himself

He would paint 1/x in 1 hour

x + 2 = number of hours it would take Ted to work by himself

He would paint 1/(x + 2) in 1 hour

Seth and Ted = 5 hours

They would paint 1/5 in 1 hour

The equation is this:

1/x + 1/(x + 2) = 1/5

(x + 2)+x / x(x+2) = 1/5

x+2+x / x(x+2) = 1/5

2x + 2 / x(x+2) = 1/5

Cross product

2x + 2 = x(x + 2)1/5

2x + 2 = (x² + 2x)1/5

Cross product

5(2x + 2) = x² + 2x

10x + 10 = x² + 2x

x² + 2x - 10x - 10 = 0

x² - 8x - 10 = 0

x = -b ± √b² - 4ac/2a

= -(-8) ± √(-8)² - 4(1)(-10) / 2(1)

= 8 ± √64 - (-40) / 2

= 8 ± √64 + 40) / 2

= 8 ± √104 / 2

= 8 ± 2√26 / 2

= 8/2 ± 2√26/2

= 4 ± √26

= 4 ± 5.0990195135927

= 4 + 5.0990195135927 or 4 - 5.0990195135927

= 9.0990195135927 or -1.0990195135927

Approximately,

x = 9 hours or -1 hour

It can't take Seth negative hours to work

Therefore,

x = number of hours it would take Seth to work by himself = 9 hours

50-59 7
60-69 3​

Answers

Answer:

0.4494

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

marks number of students

20-29 8

30-39 12

40-49 20

50-59 7

60-69 3​

The range Coefficient is obtained thus :

Range Coefficient = (Xm - Xl) / (Xm + Xl)

Where ;

Xm = Mid value of highest class = (60+69)/2 = 64.5

Xl = Mid value of lowest class = (20+29)/2 = 24.5

Range Coefficient = (64.5 - 24.5) / (64.5 + 24.5)

Range Coefficient = 40 / 89 = 0.4494

TZ is a midsegment, which of the following statements CANNOT be true

Answers

Answer:

Option C: QT < TR

Step-by-step explanation:

From the triangle, we can see that UX bisects RS into two equal parts and so it is a perpendicular bisector.

TZ Is a mid segment and it means that T bisects QR into 2 equal parts as well as QS into 2 equal parts.

Thus;

QT = QR

And QZ = SZ

So Option C is not correct because QT = QR

Amy worked 37.5 hours last week.

She is paid £11.50 per hour.

Her total deductions last week were £116.30.

What was Amy’s net pay last week?

£

Answers

EXPLANATION:

First you must find out what the initial payment would have been, My way of doing it was simply multiplying 37 by 11.5
I then get 425.5, then to find out the amount for the .5 (half hour)simply divide 11.5,the answer is then £5.75,....now we add £425.5 + £5.75= £431.25
Now... we need to deduct her “deductions” lol which was £116.30 so
£431.25-£116.30=£314.95
So her payment was £314.95

Really hoped that helped have a wonderful day


Question 3
A 70kg patient has approximately 8 pints of blood. The patient donates 470mL of blood.
Approximately what fraction of his body's blood is this? (one pint = 568mL)

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a patient = 70 kg

A 70kg patient has approximately 8 pints of blood.

The patient donates 470mL of blood.

We know that,

8 pints = 4544 mL

Required fraction,

If the mean, median, and mode are all equal for the set (10, 80, 70, 120, x}, find the value of x.
X
(Simplify your answer. Type an integer or a decimal.)
Question Viewer

Answers

Answer:

x=70

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we know that the mode is the number that is the most common. As each value in the set so far only has one of each number, we know that x must be one of the current numbers, making that the mode.

Next, because x is the mode and has to be the median as well, and our number line so far is

(10, 70, 80, 120), x must be either 70 or 80 to make it the median. This is because if x is 10 or 120, we would end up with (10, 10, 70, 80, 120) with 70 as the median or (10, 70, 80, 120, 120) with 80 as the median.

Finally, to calculate the mean, we have

mean = sum / count

The mean must be x, as it is equal to the mode, so we have

x = (10+70+80+120 + x)/5 (as there are 5 numbers including x)

multiply both sides by 5 to remove the denominator

5 * x = 10+70+80+120+x

5 * x = 280 + x

subtract x from both sides to isolate the x and the coefficient

4 * x = 280

divide both sides by 4 to get x

x= 70

We see that x is 70 or 80 and is one of the current numbers, checking off all boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]n = 4[/tex]

[tex]x: 1.45\ 1.19\ 1.05\ 1.07[/tex]

Solving (a): The mean

This is calculated as:

[tex]\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\bar x = \frac{1.45 + 1.19 + 1.05 + 1.07}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x = \frac{4.76}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x = 1.19[/tex]

Solving (b): The standard deviation

This is calculated as:

[tex]\sigma_x = \sqrt{\frac{\sum(x - \bar x)^2}{n - 1}}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\sigma_x = \sqrt{\frac{(1.45 -1.19)^2 + (1.19 -1.19)^2 + (1.05 -1.19)^2 + (1.07 -1.19)^2}{4 - 1}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_x = \sqrt{\frac{(0.1016}{3}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_x = \sqrt{0.033867}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The owner of a golf course wants to determine if his golf course is more difficult than the one his friend owns. He has 8 golfers play a round of 18 holes on his golf course and records their scores. Later that week, he has the same 8 golfers play a round of golf on his friend's course and records their scores again. The average difference in the scores (treated as the scores on his course - the scores on his friend's course) is 9.582 and the standard deviation of the differences is 15.9274. Calculate a 90% confidence interval to estimate the average difference in scores between the two courses.1) (13.73,-0.65).2) (-10.359,-4.021).3) (-9.259,-5.121).4) (-13.745,-0.635).5) (13.745, -0.635).

Answers

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval to estimate the average difference in scores between the two courses is (-1.088, 20.252).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the differences, which means that the t-distribution is 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 = 8 - 1 = 7

90% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 7 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.95[/tex]. So we have T = 1.8946

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.8946\frac{15.9274}{\sqrt{8}} = 10.67[/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 9.582 - 10.67 = -1.088

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 9.582 + 10.67 = 20.252

The 90% confidence interval to estimate the average difference in scores between the two courses is (-1.088, 20.252).

My graph isn't really clear

The slope-intercept of the line that passes through the point (-9, 4) and has a slope of 2/3 will be y = (2/3)x + 10.

What is a linear function?

A straight line on the coordinate plane is represented by a linear function.

A linear function always has the same and constant slope.

The formula for a linear function is f(x) = ax + b, where a and b are real values.

A line is given as y = mx + c

Here m is the slope,

Put m = 2/3 and  (-9, 4)

4 = (2/3)(-9) + c

c = 10

Thus equation will be y = (2/3)x + 10.

Hence "Y = (2/3)x + 10 is the slope-intercept of the line passing through the point (-9, 4), which has a slope of 2/3".

Step-by-step explanation:

We have similar triangles here.

BC║DE, AB║AD and AC║AE ⇒ ΔADE ~ ΔABC

The ratio of corresponding sides of similar triangles is same:

BC/DE = AC/AEBC / 2 = 30/3BC / 2 = 10BC = 2*10BC = 20 m

Take the similar triangles,

→ ∆ADE ≈ ∆ABC

Now we can find,

The height of the tree in meters,

→ BC/DE = AC/AE

In this equation BC is the height of tree,

→ BC/2 = 30/3

→ BC/2 = 10

→ BC = 10 × 2

→ BC = 20

Hence, the height of the tree is 20 m.
