Let [tex]\mu[/tex] be the average number of televisions per household in the United States .
As per given ,
[tex]H_0:\mu =2.3\\\\ H_a:\mu\neq2.3[/tex]
Since [tex]H_a[/tex] is two-tailed and population standard deviation is unknown, so the test is two-tailed t-test.
For sample : Sample size : n= 73, sample mean: [tex]\overline{x}[/tex] = 2.1, sample standard deviation : s= 0.84.
[tex]t=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
[tex]t=\dfrac{2.1-2.3}{\dfrac{0.84}{\sqrt{73}}}\\\\ t=-2.034[/tex]
T-critical value for degree of freedom n-1 = 73-1=72 and 0.01 significance level is 2.646 . [By students' t-distribution table]
Since, [tex]|2.034|<2.646[/tex] i.e. [tex]|T_{cal}|<|T_{crit}|[/tex]
This means we cannot reject null hypothesis.
We conclude that the average number of televisions per household in the United States is 2.3 at the 0.01 significance level.

The SAT Reasoning Test (formerly called the Scholastic Aptitude Test) is perhaps the most widely used standardized test for college admissions in the United States. Scores are based on a normal distribution with a mean of 1500 and a standard deviation of 300. Clinton College would like to offer an honors scholarship to students who score in the top 10 percent of this test. What is the minimum score that qualifies for the scholarship?
Minimum Score:
Answer:
The score is [tex]x = 1884[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population mean is [tex]\mu = 1500[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 300[/tex]
From the question we are told that the score follow a normal distribution
i.e [tex]X \~ \ N( 1500 , 300)[/tex]
The proportion of score in the top 10% is mathematically
[tex]P(X > x ) = P( \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma } > \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma } ) = 0.10[/tex]
Where x is the minimum score required to be in the top 10%
Now the [tex]\frac{X - \mu}{\sigma } = Z (The \ Standardized \ value \ of \ X)[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X > x ) = P( Z > \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma } ) = 0.10[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X > x ) = P( Z > \frac{x - 1500}{300} ) = 0.10[/tex]
So the critical value of 0.10 from the normal distribution table is [tex]Z_{0.10} = 1.28[/tex]
So
[tex]\frac{x - 1500}{300} = 1.28[/tex]
[tex]x = 1884[/tex]
Solve 2x+2y=6 and 3x-2y=11
Answer:
x = 17/5
y = -2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 2y = 6
3x - 2y = 11
sum both equations results
5x + 0 = 17
x = 17/5
2x + 2y = 6
2*17/5 + 2y = 6
34/5 + 2y = 6
2y = 6 - 34/5
2y = 30/5 - 34/5
2y = -4/5
y = (-4/5)/2
y = -2/5
verify:
3x - 2y = 11
3*17/5 - 2*-2/5 = 11
51/5 + 4/5 = 55/5
51 + 4 = 55

Write the polar form of a complex number in standard form for [tex]25[cos(\frac{5\pi }{6}) + isin(\frac{5\pi }{6})][/tex]
Answer:
Standard Complex Form : [tex]-\frac{25\sqrt{3}}{2}+\frac{25}{2}i[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to rewrite this expression in standard complex form. Let's first evaluate cos(5π / 6). Remember that cos(x) = sin(π / 2 - x). Therefore,
cos(5π / 6) = sin(π / 2 - 5π / 6),
π / 2 - 5π / 6 = - π / 3,
sin(- π / 3) = - sin(π / 3)
And we also know that sin(π / 3) = √3 / 2. So - sin(π / 3) = - √3 / 2 = cos(5π / 6).
Now let's evaluate the sin(5π / 6). Similar to cos(x) = sin(π / 2 - x), sin(x) = cos(π / 2 - x). So, sin(5π / 6) = cos(- π / 3). Now let's further simplify from here,
cos(- π / 3) = cos(π / 3)
We know that cos(π / 3) = 1 / 2. So, sin(5π / 6) = 1 / 2
Through substitution we receive the expression 25( - √3 / 2 + i(1 / 2) ). Further simplification results in the following expression. As you can see your solution is option a.

You are conducting a hypothesis where the null reads H0: μ 10 You have Just concluded that you should fail to reject the null hypothesis because Z* 1.49 and Zc 1.645 Select the best conclusion statement.
A. There is overwhelming evidence that the mean is not 10.
B. There is not overwhelming evidence that the mean is different than 10.
C. Because the calculated value of Z was larger than the Zc, I rejected the null hypothesis
D. Because the Z* was only a little bigger than the Zc, the test supports the null hypothesis and we conclude u-10
Answer:
Option D - Because the Z* was only a little bigger than the Zc, the test supports the null hypothesis and we conclude μ = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
In z-value problems, the normal practice is that If the calculated z-value is less than the critical z-value, we will reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis but if it's greater than the critical z-value, we will fail to reject the null hypothesis and say that the test was not statistically significant.
In this problem, the calculated z-value of -1.49 is greater than -1.645, so we will fail to reject the null hypothesis and say that the test was not statistically significant.
Thus, in this question, we fail to reject the null hypothesis because the calculated value of z was bigger the value of z_c.

Complete Question:
Mike took clothes to the cleaners three times last month. First, brought 4 shirts and 1 pair of slacks and paid $11.45. Then brought 7 shirts, 2 pairs of slacks, and 2 sports and paid $35.39. Finally, brought 5 shirts and 2 sports and paid $21.43 . How much was charged for each shirt, each pair of slacks, and each sports coat?
Answer:
The charges
For each Shirt = $1.49
For each pair of slacks = $5.49
For each sports coat = $6.99
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Shirt = a
Let pair of slacks = b
Let sports coat = c
First, brought 4 shirts and 1 pair of slacks and paid $11.45
= 4a + b = 11.45 ..........Equation 1
b = 11.45 - 4a
Then brought 7 shirts, 2 pairs of slacks, and 2 sports and paid $35.39
= 7a + 2b + 2c = 35.39.........Equation 2
5 shirts and 2 sports and paid $21.43
5a + 2c = 21.43............Equation 3
Hence:
4a + b = 11.45 ..........Equation 1
7a + 2b + 2c = 35.39.........Equation 2
Using elimination method
Multiply Equation 2 by the coefficient of b = 1 in Equation 1
Multiply Equation 1 by the coefficient of b = 2 in Equation 2
8a + 2b = 22.9 .......Equation 4
7a + 2b + 2c = 35.39.........Equation 2
Subtracting Equation 2 from Equation 4
= a - 2c = -12.49 ........Equation 5
a = -12.49 + 2c
Subtituting -12.49 + 2c for a in Equation 3
5a + 2c = 21.43............Equation 3
5(-12.49 + 2c) + 2c = 21.43
= -62.45 + 10c + 2c = 21.43
Collecting like terms
10c + 2c = 21.43 + 62.45
12c = 83.88
c = 83.88/12
c = 6.99
5a + 2c = 21.43............Equation 3
Substituting 6.99 for c in Equation 3
5a + 2(6.99) = 21.43
5a + 13.98 = 21.43
5a = 21.43 - 13.98
5a = 7.45
a = 7.45/5
a = 1.49
4a + b = 11.45 ..........Equation 1
Substituting 1.49 for a in Equation 1
4(1.49) + b = 11.45
b = 11.45 - 4(1.49)
b = 11.45 - 5.96
b = 5.49
Therefore, since the charges
For each shirt = a
The charges for each Shirt = $1.49
For each pair of slacks = b
The charges for each pair of slacks = $5.49
For each sports coat = c
The charges for each sports coat = $6.99

Construct a polynomial function with the following properties: third degree, only real coefficients, −3 and 3+i are two of the zeros, y-intercept is −90.
Answer:
[tex]\boxed{-3(x+3)(x^2-6x+10)}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello,
As the polynomial has only real coefficients, it means that 3-i is a zero too, because we apply the Conjugate Zeros Theorem.
It means that we can write the expression as below, k being a real number that we will have to identify.
[tex]k(x+3)(x-3-i)(x-3+i)=k(x+3)((x-3)^2-i^2)\\\\=k(x+3)(x^2-6x+9+1)\\\\=k(x+3)(x^2-6x+10)[/tex]
And for x = 0, y = -90 so we can write
-90=k*3*10, meaning that k=-3
Hope this helps.

Lisa built a rectangular flower garden that is 4 meters wide and has a perimeter of 26 meters.
What is the length of Lisa's flower garden?
Answer:
9 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that
Width of rectangular flower garden, w = 4 m
Perimeter of rectangular flower garden, p = 26 m
To find:
Length of Lisa's flower garden = ?
Solution:
First of all, let us understand perimeter, length and width of a rectangle.
Let ABCD be a rectangle. Please refer to the attached image.
Opposite sides of a rectangle are equal to each other.
AB = CD = Length
Let the length be [tex]l[/tex] m.
BC = DA = Width = 4 m
Perimeter of a closed image is equal to the sum of all the sides of the image.
So, perimeter of ABCD:
[tex]p = AB + BC + CD + DA \\\Rightarrow \bold{ p = 2 \times (Length +Width)}[/tex]
[tex]26 = 2 \times (l +4)\\\Rightarrow 2l =26-8\\\Rightarrow \bold{l = 9 m}[/tex]

find the value of x - Secant and Tangent Angles in Circles
Answer:
C. 70°
Step-by-step explanation:
The inscribed angle marked 15° intercepts an arc that is double that measure, so the intercepted arc on the right is 2×15° = 30°.
The external angle marked 20° is half the difference of the intercepted arcs, so is ...
20° = (1/2)(x - 30°)
40° = x - 30° . . . . . . multiply by 2
70° = x . . . . . . . . . . . add 30°
The value of x is 70°.
A recent survey of 1090 U.S. adults selected at random showed that 623 consider the occupation of firefighter to have very great prestige. Estimate the probability (to the nearest hundredth) that a U.S. adult selected at random thinks the occupation of firefighter has very great prestige.
Answer:
0.572
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question,
We have
n = 1090 of US adults
x = 623 selected from this population at random who consider the occupation to be one of great prestige
So we have that
The probability of X = x/n
= 623/1090
= 0.572
We conclude that 0.572 is the probability that a US adult selected at random thinks the occupation has great prestige.
Find the missing side of the triangle. A. √321 yd B. √221 yd C. 3√38 yd D. √21 yd
Answer:
(B) [tex]\sqrt{221}[/tex] yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of x.
The Pythagorean Theorem states that [tex]a^2 + b^2 = c^2[/tex], where a and b are our legs and c is the hypotenuse.
We need to find c, and we already know a and b, so let's substitute.
[tex]10^2 + 11^2 = c^2\\\\100+121=c^2\\\\221=c^2\\\\c=\sqrt{221}[/tex]

Consider the following binomial experiment: A study in a certain community showed that 6% of the people suffer from insomnia. If there are 10,300 people in this community, what is the standard deviation of the number of people who suffer from insomnia?
Answer:
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 24.10[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The proportion of those that suffer from insomnia is p = 6% = 0.06
The sample size is n = 10300
Generally the proportion of those that do not suffer from insomnia is mathematically represented as
[tex]q = 1-p[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]q = 1 -0.06[/tex]
[tex]q = 0.94[/tex]
Generally the standard deviation is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{n * p * q }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{ 10300 * 0.06 * 0.94 }[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = 24.10[/tex]
Using the binomial probability concept, the standard deviation of the number of people who suffer from insomnia is 24.10
Recall :
[tex] standard \: deviation, σ = \sqrt{n \times \: p \: (1 - p)} [/tex] p = probability of success = 6% = 0.061 - p = 1 - 0.06 = 0.94Sample size, n = 10300Substituting the values into the equation :
[tex] standard \: deviation, σ = \sqrt{10300 \times \: 0.06 \: (1 - 0.06)} [/tex]
[tex] standard \: deviation, σ = \sqrt{10300 \times \: 0.06 \: 0.94} [/tex]
[tex] standard \: deviation, σ = \sqrt{580.92} = 24.10[/tex]
Hence, the standard deviation is 24.10.

While you can use the correlation coefficient as its own test statistic, what is the other appropriate test statistic often used to examine the significance of a correlation
Answer:
T-test
Step-by-step explanation:
Significance of correlation between two variables x and y measures the strength and direction of their relationship. This is used to make future forecasts of the behaviour of a variable under study.
Correlation coefficient can be used to measure significance of correlation, but we can also use the t-test.
T-test is a statistics that is inferential. It measures the significance of difference between the means of two groups.
T-test is the statistic of choice when carrying out hypothesis testing.
T distribution values and degrees of freedom are used to determine statistical significance.

Answer:
155.00-65.50-23.25-26.45+165.30
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
155 + 165.3 - 65.5 - 23.25 - 26.45
Step-by-step explanation:
She had $155 dollars in the starting = +155
She withdrew $65.5 = -65.5
She withdrew another $23.25 = -23.25
She withdrew another $26.45 = -26.45
She deposited $165.3 = +165.3
The expression looks like:
155 + 165.3 - 65.5 - 23.25 - 26.45
We could solve the expression:
155 + 165.3 - 65.5 - 23.25 - 26.45
=> 320.3 - 88.75 - 26.45
=> 320.3 -115.2

I have a circle that has a radius of 8 in. What is the circumference of the circle? What is the area of the circle? ( use 3.14 for pi).Explain your steps. Please Give A clear explanation The best answer gets brainliest.
Answer:
The circumference is 50.24 in. and the area is 200.96 in².
Step-by-step explanation:
The circumference formula is C = 2πr where C = Circumference, π = pi and r = radius. We know that r = 8 and π = 3.14 and that we're solving for C, so we can substitute those values into the equation to get C = 2 * 3.14 * 8 = 50.24 in.
The area formula is A = πr² where A = Area, π = pi and r = radius. Again, we're solving for A and we know that r = 8 and π = 3.14 so A = 3.14 * 8² = 3.14 * 64 = 200.96 in².
Answer:
The circumference is 50.24 in. and the area is 200.96 in².

If this first answers correct what is the answer to the second question? Are they even connected?
Answer:
see below (I hope this helps!)
Step-by-step explanation:
9) We know that the perimeters of the square and triangle are equal so to find x, we can write:
4(x - 5) = x + x + 12
4x - 20 = 2x + 12
2x = 32
x = 16
10) To find the perimeter, we can substitute x = 16 into 4(x - 5) which would be 4(16 - 5) = 4 * 11 = 44.
Brainliest for the correct answer!! A calculator was used to perform a linear regression on the values in the table. The results are shown to the right of the table.What is the line of best fit?A.y = –0.984x + 13.5B.y = –2.9x + 13.5C.–0.984 = –2.9x + 13.5D.y = 13.5x – 2.9
Answer:
B. y = –2.9x + 13.5
Step-by-step explanation:
You can try to use the calculator to determine the best line for the values given; you will se that the calculator form, for the linear function is
y = a + bx, where a is the y intercept and b is the slope.
To determine the slope, we apply a formula, to calculate the product of the two xy and, x², plus the sum of each column.
x y xy x²
1 . 11 = 11 → x² = 1² = 1
2 . 8 = 16 → x² = 2² = 4
3 . 4 = 12 → x² = 3² = 9
4 . 1 = 4 → x² = 4² = 16
5 . 0 = 0 → x² = 5² = 25
Total x = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15
Total y = 11 + 8 + 4+ 1 + 0 = 24
Sum of xy = 11 + 16 + 12 + 4 + 0 = 43
Sum of x² = 1 + 4 + 9 + 16 + 25 = 55
n = 5
So b = 5 (43) - (15) . (24) / 5 (55) - 15² = -2.9
a = y media - b . x media → a = 24/5 - (-2.9) . 15/5 = 13.5
