La proporción de ambas velas es 20/60, que simplificada es 1/3, por lo que debes tomar la cantidad de onzas que tiene la vela y dividirla por 1/3. Dicho de otra manera: 9 / 1/3 => 9 * 3 = 18

Respuesta:  Una vela de 9 onzas tiene una duración esperada de 27 horas.

Explicación paso a paso:  Considerando que una vela de 20 onzas se le atribuye durabilidad de 60 horas y una de 12 onzas de 36 horas.

<psi los="" variables="" est="" directamente="" relacionados="">necesitamos hallar el número de horas que una vela de 9 onzas debe durar.

Definamos x como la cantidad de onzas de la vela y y como el número correspondiente de horas que arde.

Dado que los variables son directamente proporcionales, el gráfico generará una línea recta.

Los puntos (x, y) = (20, 60) y (12, 36) se encuentran en dicha línea.

Por lo tanto, la pendiente de la línea será

m=\dfrac{36-60}{12-20}\\\\\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{-24}{-8}\\\\\Rightarrow m=3.

Por lo tanto, la ecuación correspondiente es

y-36=m(x-12)\\\\\Rightarrow y-36=3(x-12)\\\\\Rightarrow y=3x.

Así, si x = 9, entonces

y=3\times9=27.

Por consiguiente, una vela de 9 onzas se prevé que dure 27 horas.

Svet_ta [12734]

Answer:

The resulting value is 2.381

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the information presented in the question, we will calculate the evidence supporting the professor's hypothesis

Given that:

x₁ = 74,

n₁ = 36

s₁ = 8

x₂ = 68

n₂ = 36

s₂ = 10

The hypotheses can be outlined as:

The critical value is t₃₆+₃₆-₂,₀.₀₁ = t₇₀,₀.₀₁

thus,

t₃₆+₃₆-₂,₀.₀₁ = t₇₀,₀.₀ = 2.381

This implies a range of -2.381 to 2.381

Thus, we can support the professor's assertion.

The volume, V, of a rectangular prism is determined using the formula V=lwh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the
babunello [11817]

Answer:

Width of the rectangular prism

To determine the volume of the rectangular prism, we utilize the following formula:

v = lwh

Where:

v = volume

l = length

w = width

h = height

Now,

The variables provided in the problem include:

v = 138.24 cubic inches

h =  9.6 inches

l = 3.2 inches

w = ?

By substituting these values into the volume formula, we have:

138.24 = 3.2 * w * 9.6

138.24 = 30.72 * w

w = 138.24/30.72

w = 4.5

⇒ Therefore, the width of the rectangular prism measures 4.5 inches.

On a baseball field, the pitcher’s mound is 60.5 feet from home plate. During practice, a batter hits a ball 195 feet at an angl
tester [12383]

For this scenario, we can visualize that all points form a triangle. The three vertices are at the pitcher's mound, home plate, and the location where the outfielder catches the ball. We know two sides of the triangle and the angle that lies between these two sides.

<span>Using the cosine law, we can find the unknown third side. The formula to apply is:</span>

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab cos θ

Where:

a = 60.5 ft

b = 195 ft

θ = 32°

Substituting the provided values results in:

c^2 = (60.5)^2 + (195)^2 - 2(60.5)(195) cos(32)

c^2 = 3660.25 + 38025 - 20009.7

c^2 = 21,675.56

c = 147.23 ft

<span>Thus, the distance the outfielder throws the ball towards home plate is approximately 147.23 ft.</span>

PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer:

a) 2.60x10^-7

b) 5.31x10^-5

c) 2.19x10^-3

Step-by-step explanation:

X=the number of hits

Probability can be determined by taking the number of successful outcomes and dividing it by the total number of possible outcomes.

Now

a) P(X=6)=P({1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1})=6/40*5/39*4/38*3/37*2/36*1/35=2.60x10^-7

b) P(X=5)=P({0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1})+P({1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1})+...+P({1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0}), and each scenario carries the same probability

P(X=5)=6P({1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0})=6*(6/40*5/39*4/38*3/37*2/36*34/35)=5.31x10^-5

c) P(X=4)=P({0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1})+...+P({1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0}), where each case has an identical probability.

P(X=4)=(^6_4)P({1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0})=\frac{6!}{4!(6-4)!}(\frac{6}{40} \frac{5}{39} \frac{4}{38} \frac{3}{37} \frac{34}{36} \frac{33}{35} )=2.19\times 10^{-3}
