Answer:

The number of pages in the U.S. Tax Code is 20,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Designate T as the number of pages in the U.S. tax code.

Let B represent the number of pages in the King James Bible.

The U.S. tax code's pages exceed the Bible's by 18,528.

This can be translated to mean that the U.S. tax code has 18,528 pages more than the Bible.

This is expressed mathematically as:

T=B+18528..........(1)

The total number of pages between the tax code and the Bible is 21,472.

T+B=21472......... (2)

Next, replace T in equation (1) into equation (2)

B+18528+B=21472

=> 2B+18528=21472

=> 2B=2944

Giving us B=1,472 (Bible pages)

And T = 1472+18528 = 20,000

Conclusively, the U.S. tax code contains 20,000 pages.

Let x represent the number of pages in the U.S. Tax Code and y denote the pages in the King James Bible.

According to the provided information,
x= y+18,528 ⇒ y=x-18,528
x+y = 21,472 ⇒ x+(x-18,528) = 21,472 ⇒ x+x-18,528 = 21,472 ⇒ 2x= 18,528+21,472 ⇒ 2x = 40,000 ⇒ x=40,000/2 = 20,000 pages

Therefore, the U.S. tax code consists of 20,000 pages.

A company buys pens at the rate of $7.50 per box for the first 10 boxes, $5.50 per box for the next 10 boxes, and $4.50 per box
tester [3895]

Let's start by calculating the cost of the first 10 boxes, which totals $75, and the next 10 boxes cost $55.

Together, these 20 boxes amount to $130 spent. With $18 remaining, you can purchase 4 more boxes since 18 divided by 4.5 equals 4.

Therefore, the maximum number of boxes you can buy with $148 is 24.

Points A, B, and C, form a triangle. The distance between point A and point B is 15 yards. The distance between point B and poin
babunello [3607]

Answer:

(a)

The distance from A to B to C equals 40 yards.

(b)

w is less than 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

The information provided states:

The distance from A to B is 15 yards.

Thus, AB is 15 yards.

The distance from B to C is 25 yards.

Therefore, BC is 25 yards.

(a)

The total distance from A to B to C is given by AB plus BC.

A to B to C = 15 + 25.

The total distance is 40 yards.

(b)

The direct distance from A to C (AC) must be shorter than the length of A to B to C.

AC is less than AB plus BC.

AC must be less than 15 + 25.

Thus, AC is less than 40 yards.

w is less than 40.

A random sample of 16 students selected from the student body of a large university had an average age of 25 years and a standar
PIT_PIT [3895]

Answer:

The P-value ranges between 2.5% and 5% according to the t-table.

Step-by-step explanation:

A random sample of 16 students from a large university showed an average age of 25 years with a standard deviation of 2 years.

Let \mu = true average age of all students at the university.

So, the Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \leq 24 years {indicating the average age is less than or equal to 24 years}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu > 24 years {indicating the average age is significantly greater than 24 years}

Here we employ the One-sample t-test statistics as the population's standard deviation is unknown;

                              T.S. = \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample average age = 25 years

             s = sample standard deviation = 2 years

             n = sample size = 16

This gives us the test statistics = \frac{25-24}{\frac{2}{\sqrt{16} } } ~ t_1_5

                                     = 2

The value of the t-test statistics is 2.

Moreover, the P-value of the test-statistics can be found as follows;

P-value = P(t_1_5 > 2) = 0.034 {as per the t-table}

Thus, the P-value lies between 2.5% and 5% based on the t-table.
