Find the value of x to the nearest tenth. A) 5 B) 9.2 C) 3.3 D) 2.9

Answer:

x=9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5x+4(−x−2)=−5x+2(x−1)+12

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5x+4(−x−2)=−5x+2(x−1)+12

5x+(4)(−x)+(4)(−2)=−5x+(2)(x)+(2)(−1)+12 (Distribute)

5x+−4x+−8=−5x+2x+−2+12

(5x+−4x)+(−8)=(−5x+2x)+(−2+12) (Combine Like Terms)

x+−8=−3x+10

x−8=−3x+10

Step 2: Add 3x to both sides.

x−8+3x=−3x+10+3x

4x−8=10

Step 3: Add 8 to both sides.

4x−8+8=10+8

4x=18

Step 4: Divide both sides by 4.

4x/4=18/4

x=9/2

Complete question is;

A machine used to fill gallon-sized paint cans is regulated so that the amount of paint dispensed has a mean of 128 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.20 ounce. You randomly select 35 cans and carefully measure the contents. The sample mean of the cans is 127.9 ounces. Does the machine need to be? reset? Explain your reasoning.

(yes/no)?, it is (very unlikely/ likely) that you would have randomly sampled 35 cans with a mean equal to 127.9 ?ounces, because it (lies/ does not lie) within the range of a usual? event, namely within (1 standard deviation, 2 standard deviations 3 standard deviations) of the mean of the sample means.

Answer:

Yes, we should reset the machine because it is unusual to have a mean equal to 127.9 from a random sample of 35 as the mean of 127.9 doesn't fall within range of a usual event with 2 standard deviations of the mean of the sample means.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Mean: μ = 128

Standard deviation; σ = 0.2

n = 35

Now, formula for standard error of mean is given as;

se = σ/√n

se = 0.2/√35

se = 0.0338

Normally, the range of values should be within 2 standard deviations of mean. In this case, normal range of values will be;

μ ± 2se = 128 ± 0.0338

This gives; 127.9662, 128.0338

So, Yes, we should reset the machine because it is unusual to have a mean equal to 127.9 from a random sample of 35 as the mean of 127.9 doesn't fall within range of a usual event with 2 standard deviations of the mean of the sample means.

Answer:

The upper bound of the confidence interval is 0.34

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question, we want to calculate the upper bound of the confidence interval.

We start by calculating the margin of error.

Mathematically, the margin of error = 0.29 -0.24 = 0.05

So to get the upper bound of the confidence interval, we simply add this margin of error to the mean

That would be 0.05 + 0.29 = 0.34

Answer:

Question 1 = D) Acute

Question 2 = C)3 feet

Question 3 = D) Obtuse

Question 4 = C)27.73 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1: A triangle has sides with lengths 5, 6, and 7. Is the triangle right, acute, or obtuse?

In order to be able to accurately classify that a triangle with 3 given sides is either a right , acute or obtuse angle, we use the Pythagoras Theorem

Where:

If a² + b² = c² = Right angle triangle

If a² +b² > c² = Acute triangle.

If a² +b² < c² = Obtuse triangle.

It is important to note that the length ‘‘c′′ is always the longest.

Therefore, for the above question, we have lengths

5 = a, 6 = b and c = 7

a² + b² = c²

5² + 6² = 7²

25 + 36 = 49

61 = 49

61 ≠ 49, Hence 61 > 49

Therefore, this is an Acute Triangle

Question 2: A 15-foot statue casts a 20-foot shadow. How tall is a person who casts a 4-foot-long shadow?

This is question that deals with proportion.

The formula to solve for this:

Height of the statue/ Length of the shadow of the person = Height of the person/ Length of the shadow of the person

Height of the statue = 15 feet

Length of the shadow of the person = 20 feet

Height of the person = unknown

Length of the shadow of the person = 4

15/ 20 = Height of the person/4

Cross Multiply

15 × 4 = 20 × Height of the person

Height of the person = 15 × 4/20

= 60/20

Height of the person = 3 feet

Therefore, the person is 3 feet tall.

Question 3: A triangle has sides with lengths 17, 12, and 9. Is the triangle right, acute, or obtuse?

In order to be able to accurately classify that a triangle with 3 given sides is either a right , acute or obtuse angle, we use the Pythagoras Theorem

Where:

If a² + b² = c² = Right angle triangle

If a² +b² > c² = Acute triangle.

If a² +b² < c² = Obtuse triangle.

It is important to note that the length ‘‘c′′ is always the longest.

Therefore, for the above question, we have lengths 17, 12, 9

9 = a, 12 = b and c = 17

a² + b² = c²

9² + 12² = 17²

81 + 144 = 289

225 = 289

225 ≠ 289

225 < 289

Hence, This is an Obtuse Triangle.

Question 4: Two friends are standing at opposite corners of a rectangular courtyard. The dimensions of the courtyard are 12 ft. by 25 ft. How far apart are the friends?

To calculate how far apart the two friends are we use the formula

Distance = √ ( Length² + Breadth²)

We are given dimensions: 12ft by 25ft

Length = 12ft

Breadth = 25ft

Distance = √(12ft)² + (25ft)²

Distance = √144ft²+ 625ft²

Distance = √769ft²

Distance = 27.730849248ft

Approximately ≈27.73ft

Therefore, the friends are 27.73ft apart.

Complete Question

A research center claims that ​30% of adults in a certain country would travel into space on a commercial flight if they could afford it. In a random sample of 700 adults in that​ country, ​34% say that they would travel into space on a commercial flight if they could afford it. At ​, is there enough evidence to reject the research center's claim

Answer:

Yes there is  sufficient evidence to reject the research center's claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The population proportion is  p = 0.30

      The sample proportion is  [tex]\r p = 0.34[/tex]

       The  sample size is  n = 700

The null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : p = 0.30[/tex]

 The  alternative hypothesis is  [tex]H_a : p \ne 0.30[/tex]

Here we are going to be making use of  level of significance  =  0.05 to carry out this test

Now we will obtain the critical value of  [tex]Z_{\alpha }[/tex] from the normal distribution table , the value is  [tex]Z_{\alpha } = 1.645[/tex]

 Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

            [tex]t = \frac{ \r p - p }{ \sqrt{ \frac{ p (1-p)}{n} } }[/tex]

substituting values

              [tex]t = \frac{ 0.34 - 0.30 }{ \sqrt{ \frac{ 0.30 (1-0.30 )}{ 700} } }[/tex]

              [tex]t = 2.31[/tex]

Looking at the values of t  and  [tex]Z_{\alpha }[/tex] we see that [tex]t > Z_{\alpha }[/tex] hence the null hypothesis is rejected

 Thus we can conclude that there is  sufficient evidence to reject the research center's claim.

mean=79+91+93+85+86+88/6

mean=522/6

mean=87

Literal meaning of median is medium.

To find the number which lies in the medium, we must rearrange the number in ascending.

79, 91, 93, 85, 86, 88

79, 85, 86, 88, 91, 93

86+88/2=87

Answer:

Yes it can be concluded that state employees earn on average less than federal employees

  The critical value is  [tex]Z_{\alpha } = - 2.33[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  population mean is  [tex]\mu = \$ 59593[/tex]

   The sample size is  n =  30

    The  sample mean is [tex]\= x = \$ 58800[/tex]

     The  standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = \$ 1500[/tex]

     The significance level is  [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex]

The null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : \mu = \$ 59593[/tex]

 The  alternative hypothesis is  [tex]H_a : \mu < \$ 59593[/tex]

The critical value of [tex]\alpha[/tex] from the normal distribution table is  [tex]Z_{\alpha } = - 2.33[/tex]

 Generally the test statistics is  mathematically evaluated as

            [tex]t = \frac{\= x - \mu}{ \frac{ \sigma }{ \sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

=>         [tex]t = \frac{ 58800 - 59593 }{ \frac{ 1500 }{ \sqrt{30} } }[/tex]  

=>          [tex]t = -2.896[/tex]

The  p-value is obtained from the z-table

   [tex]p-value = P(t < -2.896) = 0.0018898[/tex]

Since [tex]p-value < \alpha[/tex] , we reject the null hypothesis, hence it can be concluded that state employees earn on average less than federal employees

Find the powers [tex]a=\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}[/tex]

$a^{2}=5+2 \sqrt{6}$

$a^{3}=11 \sqrt{2}+9 \sqrt{3}$

The cubic term gives us a clue, we can use a linear combination to eliminate the root 3 term $a^{3}-9 a=2 \sqrt{2}$ Square $\left(a^{3}-9 a\right)^{2}=8$ which gives one solution. Expand we have $a^{6}-18 a^{4}-81 a^{2}=8$ Hence the polynomial $x^{6}-18 x^{4}-81 x^{2}-8$ will have a as a solution.

Note this is not the simplest solution as $x^{6}-18 x^{4}-81 x^{2}-8=\left(x^{2}-8\right)\left(x^{4}-10 x^{2}+1\right)$

so fits with the other answers.

Answer:

1. cups of coffee sold

2.Y = 605.7 - 5.943x

3. -0.952

4. 70.84

Step-by-step explanation:

1. the dependent variable in this question is the cups of coffee sold

2. least square estimation line

Y = a+bx

we have y as the cups of coffee sold

x as temperature.

first we will have to solve for a and then b

∑X = 450

∑Y = 960

∑XY = 61600

∑X² = 35500

∑Y² = 221800

a = ∑y∑x²-∑x∑xy/n∑x²-(∑x)²

a = 960 * 35500-450*61600/6*35500-450²

a = 6360000/10500

= 605.7

b = n∑xy - ∑x∑y/n∑x²-(∑x)²

= 6*61600 - 450*960/6*35500 - 450²

= -5.943

the regression line

Y = a + bx

Y = 605.7 - 5.943x

3. we are to find correlation coefficient

r = n∑xy - ∑x∑y multiplied by√(n∑x²-(∑x)² * (n∑y² - (∑y)²)

= 6*61600 -960*450/√(6*35500 - 450²)*(6*221800 - 960²)

=-62400/√4296600000

= -62400/65548.5

= -0.952

4. we have to predict sales of a 90 degree day fro the regression line

Y = 605.7 - 5.943x

y = 605.7 - 5.943(90)

y = 605.7 - 534.87

= 70.84

[tex]L(f(t)) = L ( 6 \sqrt{3} \ cos \ (t) + 6 \ sin \ (t) ][/tex]

[tex]L(f(t)) = 6 \sqrt{3} \ L [cos \ (t) ] + 6\ L [ sin \ (t) ][/tex]

[tex]L(f(t)) = 6 \sqrt{3} \dfrac{S}{S^2 + 1^2}+ 6 \dfrac{1}{S^2 +1^2}[/tex]

[tex]L(f(t)) = \dfrac{6 \sqrt{3} +6 }{S^2+1}[/tex]

[tex]L(f(t)) = \dfrac{6( \sqrt{3} \ S +1 }{S^2+1}[/tex]

[tex]L(f(t)) = \dfrac{6}{S^2+1} [\sqrt{3} \ S +1 ][/tex]

Answer:

(a). x = 80°

(b). x = 7.2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle formed between the tangents from a point outside the circle measure the half of the difference of intercepted arcs.

(a). Here the intercepted arcs are,

    Measure of major arc = 360° - 100°

                                        = 260°

    Measure of minor arc = 100°

   x° = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[m(\text{Major arc})-m(\text{Minor arc})][/tex]

       = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(260-100)[/tex]

    x = 80°

(b). If a secant and tangent are drawn form a point outside the circle, then square of the measure of tangent is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and and its external segment.

B)  A sample of how the graph looks like is attached below ( periodic sine wave )

C) w = [tex]\sqrt[4]{3}[/tex] is when the amplitude of the forced response is maximum

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data :

mass = 5kg

length of spring = 10 cm = 0.1 m

f(t) = 10sin(t) N

viscous force = 2 N

speed of mass = 4 cm/s = 0.04 m/s

initial velocity = 3 cm/s = 0.03 m/s

Formulating initial value problem

y = viscous force / speed = 2 N / 0.04 m/s = 50 N sec/m

spring constant = mg/ Length of spring = (5 * 9.8) / 0.1 = 490 N/m

f(t) = 10sin(t/2) N

using the initial conditions of u(0) = 0 m and u"(0) = 0.03 m/s to express the equation of motion

Answer:

16.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Constant of proportionality = no of gallons of water per 1 minute.

In the first row, we have 16.50 gallons of water per 1 minute.

In the 2nd row, we have 24.75 gallons of water in 1.5 minutes. In 1 minute, we will have 24.75 ÷ 1.5 = 16.50 gallons

In the 3rd row, we have 33 gallons in 2 minutes. In 1 minute, we will have 33 ÷ 2 = 16.50 gallons.

We can see that there seems to be the same constant of proportionality for the 2nd and 3rd row, which is 16.50.

Thus, a relationship between gallons of water (w) and time (t), considering the constant, 16.50, can be written as: [tex] w = 16.50t [/tex]

This means the constant of proportionality, 16.50, is same for all rows.

Answer:

Solution : Option B

Step-by-Step Explanation:

We have the following system of equations at hand here.

{ x = 5 cot(t), y = - 3csc(t) + 4 }

Now instead of isolating the t from either equation, let's isolate cot(t) and csc(t) --- Step #1,

x = 5 cot(t) ⇒ x - 5 = cot(t),

y = - 3csc(t) + 4 ⇒ y - 4 = - 3csc(t) ⇒ y - 4 / - 3 = csc(t)

Now let's square these two equations. We know that csc²θ - cot²θ = 1, so let's subtract the equations  as well. --- Step #2

( y - 4 / - 3 )² = (csc(t))²

- ( x - 5 / 1 )² = (cot(t))²  

___________________

(y - 4)² / 9 - x² / 25 = 1

And as we are subtracting the two expressions, this is an example of a hyperbola. Therefore your solution is option b.

Answer:

A.the type 1 error probability is [tex]\mathbf{\alpha = 0.0244 }[/tex]

B. β  = 0.0122

C. β  = 0.0000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean = 100

standard deviation = 2

sample size = 9

The null and the alternative hypothesis can be computed as follows:

[tex]\mathtt{H_o: \mu = 100}[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{H_1: \mu \neq 100}[/tex]

A. If the acceptance region is defined as [tex]98.5 < \overline x > 101.5[/tex] , find the type I error probability [tex]\alpha[/tex] .

Assuming the critical region lies within [tex]\overline x < 98.5[/tex] or [tex]\overline x > 101.5[/tex], for a type 1 error to take place, then the sample average x will be within the critical region when the true mean heat evolved is [tex]\mu = 100[/tex]

∴

[tex]\mathtt{\alpha = P( type \ 1 \ error ) = P( reject \ H_o)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{\alpha = P( \overline x < 98.5 ) + P( \overline x > 101.5 )}[/tex]

when  [tex]\mu = 100[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{\alpha = P \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{\overline X - \mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} < \dfrac{\overline 98.5 - 100}{\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{9}}} \end {pmatrix} + \begin {pmatrix}P(\dfrac{\overline X - \mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} > \dfrac{101.5 - 100}{\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{9}}} \end {pmatrix} }[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{\alpha = P ( Z < \dfrac{-1.5}{\dfrac{2}{3}} ) + P(Z > \dfrac{1.5}{\dfrac{2}{3}}) }[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{\alpha = P ( Z <-2.25 ) + P(Z > 2.25) }[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{\alpha = P ( Z <-2.25 ) +( 1- P(Z < 2.25) })[/tex]

From the standard normal distribution tables

[tex]\mathtt{\alpha = 0.0122+( 1- 0.9878) })[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{\alpha = 0.0122+( 0.0122) })[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\alpha = 0.0244 }[/tex]

Thus, the type 1 error probability is [tex]\mathbf{\alpha = 0.0244 }[/tex]

B. Find beta for the case where the true mean heat evolved is 103.

The probability of type II error is represented by β. Type II error implies that we fail to reject null hypothesis [tex]\mathtt{H_o}[/tex]

Thus;

β = P( type II error) - P( fail to reject [tex]\mathtt{H_o}[/tex] )

∴

[tex]\mathtt{\beta = P(98.5 \leq \overline x \leq 101.5) }[/tex]

Given that [tex]\mu = 103[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{\beta = P( \dfrac{98.5 -103}{\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{9}}} \leq \dfrac{\overline X - \mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{n}} \leq \dfrac{101.5-103}{\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{9}}}) }[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{\beta = P( \dfrac{-4.5}{\dfrac{2}{3}} \leq Z \leq \dfrac{-1.5}{\dfrac{2}{3}}) }[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{\beta = P(-6.75 \leq Z \leq -2.25) }[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{\beta = P(z< -2.25) - P(z < -6.75 )}[/tex]

From standard normal distribution table

β  = 0.0122 - 0.0000

β  = 0.0122

C. Find beta for the case where the true mean heat evolved is 105. This value of beta is smaller than the one found in part (b) above. Why?

[tex]\mathtt{\beta = P(98.5 \leq \overline x \leq 101.5) }[/tex]

Given that [tex]\mu = 105[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{\beta = P( \dfrac{98.5 -105}{\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{9}}} \leq \dfrac{\overline X - \mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{n}} \leq \dfrac{101.5-105}{\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{9}}}) }[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{\beta = P( \dfrac{-6.5}{\dfrac{2}{3}} \leq Z \leq \dfrac{-3.5}{\dfrac{2}{3}}) }[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{\beta = P(-9.75 \leq Z \leq -5.25) }[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{\beta = P(z< -5.25) - P(z < -9.75 )}[/tex]

From standard normal distribution table

β  = 0.0000 - 0.0000

β  = 0.0000

The reason why the value of beta is smaller here is that since the difference between the value for the true mean and the hypothesized value increases, the probability of type II error decreases.

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for estimating the population mean μ is ($60,112.60, $68087.40).

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

Salaries of 42 college graduates who took a statistics course in college have a​ mean, [tex]\bar x[/tex] of, $64, 100. Assuming a standard​ deviation, σ of ​$10​,016 construct a ​99% confidence interval for estimating the population mean μ.

Solution:

The (1 - α)% confidence interval for estimating the population mean μ is:

[tex]CI=\bar x\pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

The critical value of z for 99% confidence interval is:

[tex]z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.01/2}=z_{0.005}=2.57[/tex]

Compute the 99% confidence interval for estimating the population mean μ as follows:

[tex]CI=\bar x\pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

     [tex]=64100\pm 2.58\times\frac{10016}{\sqrt{42}}\\\\=64100+3987.3961\\\\=(60112.6039, 68087.3961)\\\\\approx (60112.60, 68087.40)[/tex]

Thus, the 99% confidence interval for estimating the population mean μ is ($60,112.60, $68087.40).
