Find the y-intercept of the line that pae through thee two point (−3, −5) and (3, −1)

Answers

Answer 1

The y-intercept of the line that passes through the two points (-3, -5) and (3, -1) is -3.

What is the y-intercept of the line?

A line's y-intercept is the value of y at which the line crosses the y-axis. In other words, it is the value of y when x is equal to zero.

The given points are (-3, -5) and (3, 1).

By using a two-point form of the line

     [tex]\frac{x-x_1}{x_1-x_2} = \frac{y-y_1}{y_1-y_2}\\[/tex]

    [tex]\frac{x-(-3)}{-3-3} = \frac{y-(-5)}{-5-(-1)}\\\\\frac{x+3}{-6}=\frac{y+5}{-4}\\\\-4x-12=-6y-30\\\\6y=4x-30+12\\\\6y=4x-18[/tex]

This equation can be written as

      [tex]y =\frac{4x}{6}-\frac{18}{6}\\\\y=\frac{2x}{3}-3[/tex]

Now comparing with the slope-intercept form of the line 'y = mx + c'

then y-intercept (c) = -3.

Hence, the y-intercept of the line that passes through the two points (-3, -5) and (3, -1) is -3.

b) The number of units that must be produced to avoid a loss is; 200 units

c) The graph of P(x) = 30x - 6000 is as shown in the attached file

How to solve profit functions?

We are given the profit function as;

P(x) = 30x - 6000

where x is the number of hats produced and sold.

a) To get a profit of $60000, we will solve for x as;

30x - 6000 = 60000

30x = 66000

x = 66000/30

x = 2200

b) The number of units that must be produced to avoid a loss is;

P(x) = 0

30x - 6000 = 0

30x = 6000

x = 6000/30

Serena's company implemented the process of Delayering.

Process of Delayering:  

To improve operational efficiency, delayering is the act of removing levels of hierarchy between the top and bottom levels of staff.

Delayering often involves the removal of intermediate managers, giving top managers better access to the business as a whole and fostering the necessary openness.

The delayering process has benefits and drawbacks of its own. Although the employer can lower pay costs, the company's ability to make decisions may suffer as a result of top managers' diminished visibility.  

Delayering is helpful for reducing bureaucracy and increasing flexibility in the organizational structure. Additionally, it enhances internal communication and participation. Other advantages include increased drive and empowerment.

What are bijection function?

A bijection is a function between the elements of two sets in mathematics that is also referred to as a one-to-one correspondence, an invertible function, or a bijective function.

In this function, each element of one set is paired with exactly one element of the other set, and each element of the second set is paired with exactly one element of the first set.

No elements are left unpaired. A one-to-one (injective) and onto (surjective) mapping of a set X to a set Y is known as a bijective function, or f: X Y in mathematics.

One-to-one function (an injective function; a bijection from the set X to the set Y has an inverse function from Y to X) should not be confused with one-to-one correspondence. X and Y must be finite if.

According to our question-

The function f:ST |S||T| has an injective and not a surjective nature.

Answers

The production level that a maximum profit is   186000 and the maximum profit will at the points of (200, -4000) , under the concept of absolute maximum value.

The  P(x, y) = 8x+ 10y − (0. 001)(x²+ xy+ y²) − 10, 000, the first partial differentiate  of the  given equation with respect to x and  y,

Px= ( 8x+ 10y − (0. 001)(x²+ xy+ y²) − 10, 000) = 8-0.001(2x-y) ....2

Py= 8x+ 10y − (0. 001)(x2+ xy+ y2) − 10, 000)  = 10-0.001(x-2y) ... 3

Considering the above  equation to  be equal to  zero  :

=>8-0.001(2x-y) =0 =>0.001(2x-y) =8 .....4

=>10-0.001(x-2y) =0 =>0.001(x-2y) =  10 ...5

Solving the equations 4 and 5 we get the lues of x and  y  we get are :

x= 2000, and y = -4000 , Now the partial differentiate for the equations 2  ad 3  are with respect to x and y :

pxx(x,y)=-0.002

pyy(x,y)=  0.002

pxy(x,y) =-1

The discriminant of the function wil  be  at (2000,-4000):

D = 0.002*-0.002 -(-1)^2 =-1.0004 ,here D <0,  so the  critical values (200, -4000) reaches the maximum value .So the  production level will be :

P(2000, -4000) = 8x+ 10y − (0. 001)(x2+ xy+ y2) − 10, 000 = 186000

a publisher reports that 76v% of their readers own a particular make of car. a marketing executive wants to test the claim that the percentage is actually different from the reported percentage. a random sample of 200200 found that 71q% of the readers owned a particular make of car. is there sufficient evidence at the 0.010.01 level to support the executive's claim? step 2 of 7 : find the value of the test statistic. round your answer to two decimal places.

Answers

The value of the test statistic is -1.72.

It is given that, a publisher reports that 76% of their readers own a particular make of car.

At the null hypothesis we test, if the proportion is of 76%

⇒ H₀ : p = 0.76

At the alternate hypothesis, we test if the proportion is different from 76%

⇒ H₁ : p ≠ 0.76.

We know the test statistic is,

z = x - μ / (σ/[tex]\sqrt{n}[/tex])

where x is the sample mean,

μ is the value tested at the null hypothesis,

σ is the standard deviation

and n is the size of the sample.

Therefore 76% tested at the null hypothesis

⇒μ = 0.76 and σ = [tex]\sqrt{0.76 * 0.24}[/tex]

Now a random sample of 200 found that 71% of the readers owned a particular make of car.

⇒ n = 200 and x = 0.71

then the value of test statistic implies that,

z = (0.71 - 0.76) /([tex]\sqrt{0.76 * 0.24}[/tex] / [tex]\sqrt{200}[/tex])

  = - 0.05 /(0.42/14.14)

  = - 0.05 / 0.029

z = - 1.72

So z = -1.72 has a p value 0.4272.

implies that 0.01 * 0.4272 =0.04272

So 0.042 > 0.01

which means that there is not sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level to support the executive's claim.

The tax on a car that sells for $16,500 at the rate of  6.7%  is $195.5 higher.

What is the percentage?

A percentage is a figure or ratio stated as a fraction of 100 in mathematics. Although the abbreviations "pct.", "pct.", and occasionally "pc" are also used, the percent symbol, "%," is frequently used to indicate it. A % is a number without dimensions and without a standard measurement.

We have,

First car price is  =  $13,500

and tax of the first car is = $910

Second car price is  =  $16,500

and tax of the second car is = ?

so,

 $13,500 -----    100,

  $910      -----    x

x = 910 * 100 / 13500

x =  6.7

therefore, the rate of tax is 6.7%

so, we will calculate the tax for the second car,

$16,500 -----    100,

    y        -----    6.7

y = 6.7 * 16,500 / 100

y = $1105.5

difference of tax price between two cars = $1105.5 - $910 = $195.5

Hence, the tax on a car that sells for $16,500 at the rate of  6.7%  is $195.5 higher.

40=r(π/9)

Divide by π/9 to get r=360/π cm!

7. over the past 30 years, the sample standard deviations of the rates of return for stock x and stock y were 0.20 and 0.12, respectively. the sample covariance between the returns of x and y is 0.0096. to determine whether the correlation coefficient is significantly different from zero, the appropriate hypotheses are: .

Answers

The appropriate hypotheses to determine whether the correlation coefficient is significantly different from zero is given as follows:

Null hypothesis: [tex]H_0: r^2 = 0[/tex].Alternative hypothesis: [tex]H_0: r^2 \neq 0[/tex].

What are the null and the alternative hypothesis?

The claim in this problem is given as follows:

The correlation coefficient is significantly different from zero.

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if there is not enough evidence to conclude that the claim is true, that is, not enough evidence to conclude that the correlation coefficient is significantly different from zero, hence:

[tex]H_0: r^2 = 0[/tex].

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if there is enough evidence to conclude that the claim is true, that is, enough evidence to conclude that the correlation coefficient is significantly different from zero, hence:

[tex]H_1: r^2 \neq 0[/tex].

A study sought to determine if the ancient Chinese art of acupuncture could help infertile women become pregnant. One hundred sixty healthy women undergoing treatment with artificial insemination were recruited for the study. Half of the subjects were randomly assigned to receive acupuncture treatment 25 minute s before embryo transfer and again 25 minutes after the transfer. The remaining 80 subjects were instructed to lie still for 25 minutes after the embryo transfer. Results: In the acupuncture group, 34 women became pregnant. In the control group, 21 women became pregnant. (a) Explain how the three principles of experimental design were addressed in this study. (b) The difference in the percent of women who became pregnant in the two groups is statistically significant. Explain to someone who knows little statistics what this means. (c) Why can't we conclude that acupuncture caused the difference in pregnancy rates?

Answers

(a) The way that the three principles of experimental design were addressed in this study are;

Control design: This is satisfied, because the study contains a control groupRandom design: This was satisfied, because the subjects were randomly assigned to a treatment group.Enough subjects: This was satisfied, because there were 160 subjects in the study, which is sufficiently large.

b) Statistically significant difference means here is that the extreme difference in results that cannot be by chance.

c) Why we can't conclude that acupuncture caused the difference in pregnancy rates is; Placebo effect

How to interpret Statistics testing?

(a) Three principles of experimental design here are: Control, Random, Enough subjects.

The way they were addressed in this study are;

Control design: This is satisfied, because the study contains a control group

Random design: This was satisfied, because the subjects were randomly assigned to a treatment group.

Enough subjects: This was satisfied, because there were 160 subjects in the study, which is sufficiently large.

b) Statistically significant difference means here is that the extreme difference in results that cannot be by chance.

c) The placebo effect is what prevents us from concluding that acupuncture caused the difference in pregnancy rates as it means that there is no third group that receives fake acupuncture treatment.
