Answer:
b). There is little to no evidence to conclude the mean driving time for the alternative route is different from the mean driving time of the detour.
Step-by-step explanation:
The most adequate statement to examine the proposition is that 'there is lack of adequate evidence to substantiate the claim that the mean time taken for driving through the detour and the alternative route is distinct.' This will help in testing that there is a lack of evidence to establish the validity or truth of the proposition that if the detour is actually shorter than the alternative route or not. No data has been provided to clarify that the mean driving time in both routes traveled by Sarah was varied. Hence, option b is the correct answer.
A driver starts a trip with 30 gallons of gasoline in the tank of his car. The car
burns 4 gallons for every 80 miles. Assuming that the amount of gasoline in the tank decreases linearly, write a linear function that relates the number of gallons G left in the tank after a journey of "d" miles.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to look at this as something as basic as combining like terms. We know that the driver starts with 30 GALLONS of gas and loses x GALLONS while driving, giving us an equation that says
Gallons of gas used = Gallons in car - gallons used; in other words, if everything is in the same label, you can subtract. We start off with 30 gallons, thus:
Gallons of gas used = 30 G
That's a start, at least. Now we need to figure out how much is burned. Remember, in order to do any subtraction at all we have to have like labels, so we need what goes after that subtraction sign to also be a label in gallons, G. The driver burns 4 gallons per 80 miles times how many miles he drives, so the expression for that is
[tex]\frac{4G}{80mi}*dmi[/tex] and what happens here is that the label of miles cancels out, leaving us with just G, which is what we're after. The whole equation then is
[tex]G=30-\frac{4}{80}d[/tex], choice 1

Answer:
b .
x = 3
y = 3[tex]\sqrt3[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the pythagorean identities for 30-60-90° triangle,
we know the ratio of the sides is x - x√3 - 2x
Since 2x = 6
Then smallest side is x (opposite ∠30°) = 6/2 = 3
The other side y , opposite ∠60° will be x√3 or 3√3.

More often than not, the first two criteria will let you choose the correct answer without doing any detailed solving.
You are interested in finding out whether middle-aged men who have premature heartbeats are at greater risk of developing a myocardial infarction (heart attack) than men whose heartbeats are regular. Electrocardiogram (ECG) examinations are performed on all male office employees 35 years of age or older who work for oil companies in Houston. The ECG tracings are classified as irregular or regular. Five years later, myocardial infarction rates are compared between those with and those without baseline ECG irregularities. What kind of study is this?
a. Cross-sectional study
b. Case-control study
c. Prospective cohort study
d. Retrospective cohort study
e. Clinical trial
f. Community trial
Answer:
The answer is "Option C".
Step-by-step explanation:
This study looks after results including such illness growth during the trial time, and this includes additional elements such as suspected risk or source of protection (s). The study usually consists of taking and looking at such a cohort of subjects for a long time. The main advantage of these studies is knowledge accumulation and higher efficiency. Systematic reviews may suffer from choice distortion, in addition to the potential indication misinterpretation.
Which graph represents the function f (x) = StartFraction 1 Over x + 3 EndFraction minus 2?
Given:
The function is:
[tex]f(x)=\dfrac{1}{x+3}-2[/tex]
To find:
The graph of the given function.
Solution:
We have,
[tex]f(x)=\dfrac{1}{x+3}-2[/tex]
It can be written as:
[tex]f(x)=\dfrac{1-2(x+3)}{x+3}[/tex]
[tex]f(x)=\dfrac{1-2x-6}{x+3}[/tex]
[tex]f(x)=\dfrac{-2x-5}{x+3}[/tex]
Putting [tex]x=0[/tex] to find the y-intercept.
[tex]f(0)=\dfrac{-2(0)-5}{(0)+3}[/tex]
[tex]f(0)=\dfrac{-5}{3}[/tex]
So, the y-intercept is [tex]\dfrac{-5}{3}[/tex].
Putting [tex]f(x)=0[/tex] to find the x-intercept.
[tex]0=\dfrac{-2x-5}{x+3}[/tex]
[tex]0=-2x-5[/tex]
[tex]2x=-5[/tex]
[tex]x=\dfrac{-5}{2}[/tex]
[tex]x=-2.5[/tex]
So, the x-intercept is [tex]-2.5[/tex].
For vertical asymptote, equate the denominator and 0.
[tex]x+3=0[/tex]
[tex]x=-3[/tex]
So, the vertical asymptote is [tex]x=-3[/tex].
The degrees of numerator and denominator are equal, so the horizontal asymptote is the ratio of leading coefficients.
[tex]y=\dfrac{-2}{1}[/tex]
[tex]y=-2[/tex]
So, the horizontal asymptote is [tex]y=-2[/tex].
End behavior of the given function:
[tex]f(x)\to -2[/tex] as [tex]x\to -\infty[/tex]
[tex]f(x)\to -\infty[/tex] as [tex]x\to -3^-[/tex]
[tex]f(x)\to \infty[/tex] as [tex]x\to -3^+[/tex]
[tex]f(x)\to -2[/tex] as [tex]x\to \infty[/tex]
Using all these key features, draw the graph of given function as shown below.

United flight 15 from New York's JFK to San Francisco uses a Boeing 757-200 with 180 seats. Because some
people with tickets don't show up. United will overbook by selling more than 180 tickets. If the flight is not
overbooked, the airline will lose revenue due to empty seats, but if too many tickets are sold and some
passengers are denied seats, the airline loses money from the compensation that must be given to bumped
passengers. Assume that there is a 0.905 probability that a passenger with a ticket will show up for the
flight. Also assume that the airline sells 200 tickets for the 180 seats that are available.
1. When 200 tickets are sold, calculate the probability that exactly 180 passengers show up for the flight.
Show your calculation (i.e. what you put in the calculator) and round to 4 decimals.
2. When 200 tickets are sold, calculate the probability that at most 180 passengers show up for the flight.
Show your calculation (ie. what you put in the calculator) and round to 4 decimals.
3. When 200 tickets are sold, calculate the probability that more than 180 passengers show up for the flight.
Show your calculation (i.e. what you put in the calculator) and round to 4 decimals.
Answer:
1. 0.0910 = 9.10% probability that exactly 180 passengers show up for the flight.
2. 0.4522 = 45.22% probability that at most 180 passengers show up for the flight.
3. 0.5478 = 54.78% probability that more than 180 passengers show up for the flight.
Step-by-step explanation:
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.
The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]
The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]
Normal probability distribution
Problems of normally distributed distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that [tex]\mu = E(X)[/tex], [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}[/tex].
Assume that there is a 0.905 probability that a passenger with a ticket will show up for the flight.
This means that [tex]p = 0.905[/tex]
Also assume that the airline sells 200 tickets
This means that [tex]n = 200[/tex]
Question 1:
Exactly, so we can use the P(X = x) formula, to find P(X = 180).
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 180) = C_{200,180}.(0.905)^{180}.(0.095)^{20} = 0.0910[/tex]
0.0910 = 9.10% probability that exactly 180 passengers show up for the flight.
2. When 200 tickets are sold, calculate the probability that at most 180 passengers show up for the flight.
Now we have to use the approximation.
Mean and standard deviation:
[tex]\mu = E(X) = np = 200*0.905 = 181[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{200*0.905*0.095} = 4.15[/tex]
Using continuity correction, this is [tex]P(X \leq 180 + 0.5) = P(X \leq 180.5)[/tex], which is the p-value of Z when X = 180.5. Thus
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{180.5 - 181}{4.15}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.12[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.12[/tex] has a p-value of 0.4522.
0.4522 = 45.22% probability that at most 180 passengers show up for the flight.
3. When 200 tickets are sold, calculate the probability that more than 180 passengers show up for the flight.
Complementary event with at most 180 passengers showing up, which means that the sum of these probabilities is 1. So
[tex]p + 0.4522 = 1[/tex]
[tex]p = 1 - 0.4522 = 0.5478[/tex]
0.5478 = 54.78% probability that more than 180 passengers show up for the flight.

A triangular patch of grass in a park is bordered by walking paths. The longest path bordering the patch of grass measures 110 feet. The smallest path bordering the patch of grass measures 55 feet. The smallest angle formed by the paths bordering the patch of grass measures 29º.
What is the measure of the largest angle of the triangular patch of grass? Round your answer to the nearest
degree. Show all your work.
Answer:
76 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we can draw a picture. Two of the sides are 110 feet and 55 feet. In a triangle, the smallest angle is opposite the smallest side and vice versa. Therefore, if I have my triangle arranged in the way shown, the smallest angle of 29 degrees will be opposite of the smallest side of 55 feet.
The law of sines states that a/sinA=b/sinB=c/sinC , with corresponding angles being opposite of its corresponding side. Therefore, we can say that
55 feet/ sin(29 degrees) = 110 / sin(largest angle).
If we say that the largest angle is equal to x, we can say
55 / sin(29°) = 110/sin(x)
multiply both sides by x to remove a denominator
55 * sin(x)/ sin(29°) = 110
multiply both sides by sin(29°) to remove the other denominator
55 * sin(x) = 110 * sin(29°)
divide both sides by 55 to isolate the sin(x)
sin(x) = 110 * sin(29°) / 55
For an angle, if sin(x) = y, we can say that arcsin(y) = x. Therefore, we can say
x = arcsin(110 * sin(29°)/55)
x ≈ 76 degrees

Find the value of y.
In the largest triangle, the missing side has length
√((11 + 5)² - x ²) = √(256 - x ²)
But it's also the hypotenuse of the triangle with side lengths 11 and y, so that its length can also be written as
√(11² + y ²) = √(121 + y ²)
so that
√(256 - x ²) = √(121 + y ²)
or, by taking the squares of both sides,
256 - x ² = 121 + y ²
y ² = 135 - x ²
In the smallest triangle, you have
5² + y ² = x ² ==> x ² = 25 + y ²
Substitute this into the previous equation and solve for y :
y ² = 135 - (25 + y ²)
y ² = 110 - y ²
2y ² = 110
y ² = 55
y = √55

A manager records the repair cost for 14 randomly selected dryers. A sample mean of $88.34 and standard deviation of $19.22 are subsequently computed. Determine the 90% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the dryers. Assume the population is approximately normal. Step 1 of 2 : Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.
Answer:
Hence the 90% confidence interval estimate of the population mean is [tex](79.24 , 97.44)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Point estimate = sample mean = [tex]\bar x[/tex] = 88.34
sample standard deviation = s = 19.22
sample size = n = 14
Degrees of freedom = df = n - 1 = 13
Critical value =[tex]t\alpha /2,[/tex] df = 1.771
Margin of error
[tex]E = t\alpha/2,df \times (\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } )\\= 1.771 \times (19.22 / \sqrt 14)[/tex]
Margin of error = E = 9.10
The 90% confidence interval estimate of the population mean is,
[tex]\bar x - E < \mu < \bar x + E\\\\88.34 - 9.10 < \mu < 88.34 + 9.10\\\\79.24 < \mu < 97.44\\(79.24 , 97.44)[/tex]

Hurry I am in summer school and almost done I need help ASAP!
Answer:
down by 1 unit and left by 4 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Given f(x) then f(x) + c is a vertical translation of f(x)
• If c > 0 then a shift up of c units
• If c < 0 then a shift down of c units
Given f(x) then f(x + a) is a horizontal translation of f(x)
• If a > 0 then a shift left of a units
• If a < 0 then a shift right of a units
Then
g(x) = (x + 4)² - 1
is f(x) shifted down by 1 unit and shifted left by 4 units

Hans rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $15.95, and there was an additional charge of 77 cents for each mile driven. Hans had to pay
$207,68 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?
Answer: 249 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
First write a function that represents the amount paid for renting a truck:
Set x as each mile driven.Set y as the total amount paid.$15.95 is the base fee paid no matter the mile, meaning the rent start at $15.95, not 0.Function: y = mx + b
m = slope = amount paid for each mile driven = 77¢ = $0.77b = y-intercept = amount paid when 0 miles driven = base fee = $15.95y = 0.77x + 15.95
He paid a total of $207.68, therefore y = 207.68:
207.68 = 0.77x + 15.95
Solve the equation for x:
207.68 - 15.95 = 0.77x
191.73 = 0.77x
x = 249 miles driven

9514 1404 393
Answer:
160,000 m²16 haStep-by-step explanation:
The side length of a square is 1/4 of the perimeter, so the side length of the square orchard is (1600 m)/4 = 400 m.
The area of a square is the square of the side length, so the area of the orchard is (400 m)² = 160,000 m².
A hectare is 10,000 m², so the area of the orchard in hectares is ...
16·(10,000 m²) = 16 ha
