Answer:

Lori will pay $12 more if she makes monthly payments

Step-by-step explanation:

to find how much she will pay for 6 months, we have to multiply 12 by 6 to get $72

subtracting the amount she would pay as a down payment

$72 - $60 is $12

Lori will pay $12 more if she makes monthly payments

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle y=\frac{1}{2}x-2[/tex]

The point-slope form is represented with the formula:

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

We are given a point [tex](x_1, y_1)[/tex] and a slope: [tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}[/tex].

We are asked to solve this equation in slope-intercept form, which is:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

Givens

[tex]x_1: 10\\\\y_1: 3\\\\\displaystyle m: \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

To solve:

1. Substitute the givens into the point-slope form equation:

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\\displaystyle y-3=\frac{1}{2}(x-10)[/tex]

2. Simplify by using the distributive property, which states:

[tex]a(b+c)=ab+ac[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle y-3=\frac{1}{2}x-5[/tex]

3. Simplify further by combining like terms:

[tex]\displaystyle y-3+3=\frac{1}{2}x-5+3\\\\\displaystyle y=\frac{1}{2}x-2[/tex]

The final answer in slope-intercept form is:

[tex]\large \boxed{\displaystyle y=\frac{1}{2}x-2}[/tex]

Answer:

y = 1/2x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Answer:

A consistent of equations has at least one solution,and an inconsistent system has no solution, watch an example of analyzing a system to see if its consistent or inconsistent.

Answer:  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the standard form of a linear equation in Slope-Intercept form:

        y = mx + b    where

A CONSISTENT system of equations is where the equations have different slopes OR the same slope and y-intercept.

This results in the lines crossing so they have at least one solution.

An INCONSISTENT system of equations is where the equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

This results in parallel lines so they have no solutions.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When you add the left side of the equation, you get 33.2 because 70-30 is 40, 40+2 is 42, 42-9 is 33, 33+0.3 is 33.03, 33.3-0.1 is 33.2.

When you add the right side of the equation, you get 33.2, because they are the same problem but on side has brackets.

Hope this helps you.

Answer:

Neal's decision is to fail to reject the null hypothesis   (p 0.066). There is no sufficient evidence to prove the claim that the average electricity consumption of all  Ledee household is greater than , 854.28 kWh

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The population mean is  [tex]\mu = 854.11[/tex]

   The sample size is  [tex]n = 65[/tex]

    The sample mean is  [tex]\= x = 879.28 \ kWh[/tex]

    The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 133.29 \ kWh[/tex]

    The level of significance is  [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

     The  null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o: \mu = 854.11[/tex]

     The  alternative hypothesis is  [tex]H_a : \mu > 854.11[/tex]

     The  t-statistics is  [tex]t = 1.522[/tex]

      The  p-value is [tex]p-value = 0.066[/tex]

Now from the given data we can see that

         [tex]p-value < \alpha[/tex]

Generally when this is the case , we fail to reject the null hypothesis

   So

Neal's decision is to fail to reject the null hypothesis   (p 0.066). There is no sufficient evidence to prove the claim that the average electricity consumption of all  Ledee household is greater than , 854.28 kWh            

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

xy = 2y + xy = 0

Hence, 2y + xy = 0 ---------(1)

Differentiating equation (1) n times by Leibnitz theorem, gives:

2y(n) + xy(n) + ny(n - 1) = 0

Let x = 0: 2y(n) + ny(n - 1) = 0

2y(n) = -ny(n - 1)

∴ y(n) = -ny(n - 1)/2 for n ≥ 1

For n = 1: y = 0

For n = 2: y(1) = -y

For n = 3: -3y(2)/2

For n = 4: -2y(3)

The  upper bound is  [tex]0.100[/tex]

So from the value obtained the solution to the question are

  1  Does not include

  2 sufficient

 3  not different  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The  sample size of  individuals who earned in excess of​ $100,000 per​ year is   [tex]n_ 1 = 1205[/tex]

The  number of  individuals who earned in excess of​ $100,000 per​ year  that said yes is

    [tex]w = 712[/tex]

The  sample size  individuals who earned less than​ $100,000 per​ year is [tex]n_2 = 1310[/tex]

The  number of  individuals who earned less than​ $100,000 per​ year that said yes is

       [tex]v= 693[/tex]

The sample proportion of  individuals who earned in excess of​ $100,000 per​ year  that said yes is

           [tex]\r p _ 1 = \frac{w}{n_1 }[/tex]

substituting values

          [tex]\r p _ 1 = \frac{712}{1205}[/tex]

          [tex]\r p _ 1 =0.5909[/tex]

The sample proportion of  individuals who earned less than​ $100,000 per​ year that said yes is

          [tex]\r p _ 1 = \frac{v}{n_2 }[/tex]

substituting values

         [tex]\r p _ 1 = \frac{693 }{1310}[/tex]

        [tex]\r p _ 1 = 0.529[/tex]

Given that the confidence level is  95% then the level of significance is mathematically represented as

           [tex]\alpha = 1 -0.95[/tex]

           [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

 Next we obtain the critical value of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table the value is  [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96[/tex]

    Generally the margin of error is  

   [tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{ \frac{ \r p _1 (1- \r p_1 )}{n_1} + \frac{ \r p _2 (1- \r p_2 )}{n_2} } }[/tex]

substituting values

   [tex]E = 1.96 * \sqrt{ \frac{ 0.5909 (1- 0.5909 )}{1205} + \frac{ 0.592 (1- 0.6592 )}{1310} } }[/tex]

    [tex]E =0.03846[/tex]

Generally the 95% confidence interval is  

        [tex](\r p_1 - \r p_2) - E < p_1 - p_2 <( \r p_1 - \r p_2 ) + E[/tex]

substituting values

        [tex](0.5909 - 0.529 ) - 0.03846 < p_1 - p_2 < (0.5909 - 0.529 ) + 0.03846[/tex]

         [tex]0.02344 < p_1 - p_2 < 0.10036[/tex]

The  lower bound is  [tex]0.0234[/tex]

The  upper bound is  [tex]0.100[/tex]

So from the value obtained the solution to the question are

  1  Does not include

  2 sufficient

 3  not different  

The lower bound is 0.0234 and the upper bound is 0.100. Then the 95% confidence interval is (0.0234, 0.100)

The probability or the chances of error while choosing or calculating a sample in a survey is called the margin of error.

The research group asked the following question of individuals who earned in excess of​ $100,000 per year and those who earned less than​ $100,000 per​ year.

The sample size of individuals who earned in excess of $100,000 per year will be

[tex]\rm n_1 =1205[/tex]

The sample size of individuals who earned less than $100,000 per year will be

The number of individuals who earn an excess of $100,000 per year that said yes will be

[tex]\rm w = 712[/tex]

The number of individuals who earn less than $100,000 per year that said yes will be

Then the sample proportion of individuals who earned in excess of $100,000 per year that said yes will be

[tex]\rm \hat{p}_1=\dfrac{w}{n_1}\\\\\hat{p}_1=\dfrac{712}{1205}\\\\\hat{p}_1= 0.5909[/tex]

Then the sample proportion of individuals who earned less than $100,000 per year that said yes will be

[tex]\rm \hat{p}_2=\dfrac{v}{n_2}\\\\\hat{p}_2=\dfrac{693}{1310}\\\\\hat{p}_2= 0.529[/tex]

The confidence level is 95% then the level of significance is mathematically represented as

[tex]\alpha =1-0.95\\\\\alpha =0.05[/tex]

Then the critical value of α/2 from the normal distribution table. Then the value of z is 1.96, then the error of margin will be

One way to write this polar coordinate is to say (2.5, pi/2) meaning we move 2.5 units away from the origin toward the pi/2 direction

pi/2 radians = 90 degrees

An alternative is to write (-2.5, 3pi/2) which is where we aim at the 3pi/2 direction (270 degrees) and walk backward while still facing directly south, and we'll arrive at the same location.

Answer: First a horizontal shift of 8 units, then a reflection over the x-axis, and then a vertical shift of 20 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's construct g(x) in baby steps.

Ok, we start with f(x) = x^2

The first thing we have is a horizontal translation of A units (where A is not known)

A vertical translation of N units to the right, is written as:

g(x) = f(x - N)

Then we have:

g(x) = (x - A)^2 = x^2 - 2*A*x + A^2

Now, you can see that actually g(x) has a negative leading coefficient, which means that we also have an inversion over the x-axis.

Remember that if we have a point (x, y), a reflection over the x-axis transforms our point into (x, -y)

Then if we apply also a reflection over the x-axis, we have:

g(x) = -f(x - A) = -x^2 + 2*A*x - A^2 = -x^2 + 16*x - 44

Then:

2*A = 16

A*A = 44.

The first equation says that A = 16/2 = 8

But 8^2 is not equal to 44.

Then we need another constant coefficient, which is related to a vertical translation.

If we have a relation y = f(x), a vertical translation of N units up, will be

y = f(x) + N.

Then:

g(x) = -f(x - A) + B

-x^2 + 2*A*x - A^2 + B = x^2 + 16*x - 44

Now we have:

2*A = 16

-A^2 + B = - 44

From the first equation we have A = 8, now we replace it in the second equation and get:

-8^2 + B = -44

B = -44 + 64 = 20

Then we have:

The transformation is:

First an horizontal shift of 8 units, then a reflection over the x-axis, and then a vertical shift of 20 units.

Answer:

Sara studies longer by 15 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's calculate how long Sebastian studies for. From 3:15 - 4:15, there is 1 hour and from 4:15 to 4:45, there are 30 minutes so Sebastian studies for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Now, let's calculate how long Sara studies for. From 4:30 - 5:30, there is 1 hour, from 5:30 - 6:00, there are 30 minutes and from 6:00 - 6:15, there are 15 minutes so Sara studies for 1 hour 45 minutes. This means that Sara studies longer by 45 - 30 = 15 minutes.

Answer:

A. 5:4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the question mentions twelfths of a pie, it is easier to say each pie has 12 pieces or 36 total pieces ordered from the 3 pies. Ty ate 5 and Rob ate 15 which is 3 times more than Ty. A total of 20 pieces have been eaten from the 36 you started with. Eaten = 20 and Remaining = 16. So the ratio is 20:16 which is simplified to 5:4.

The area of the given shaded part of the rectangle is 100 square meters as shown.

The entire space filled by a triangle's three sides in a two-dimensional plane is defined as its area.

The fundamental formula for calculating the area of a triangle is A = 1/2 b h.

The area of the shaded part = area of the rectangle -  area of the triangle

The area of the shaded part = 14 × 10 - (1/2) × 8 × 10

The area of the shaded part = 140 - 80/2

The area of the shaded part = 140 - 40

Apply the subtraction operation, and we get

The area of the shaded part = 100 meters²

Thus, the area of the given shaded part of the rectangle is 100 square meters.

The answer is $12792

Explanation:

It is known Tessa pays $108.00 to contribute to family coverage every two weeks and this represents 18% of the total payment. This implies the employer pays the 82% missing (100% - 18% = 82%). Additionally, with this information, it is possible to know the amount the employer has to pay every two weeks that represents 82%. The process is shown below:

1. Write the values you know and use x to represent the value you need to find

108 = 18        

  x =   82      

3. Cross multiply

x 18 = 8856

4. Find  the value of x by solving this simple equation

x = 8856 ÷ 18

x = 492 - Amount the employer pays every two weeks for Tessa's family coverage

Now that we know the money the employer pays every two weeks, it is possible to calculate the annual amount of money. Follow the process below.

1. Consider one year has a total of 52 weeks and divide this number of weeks by 2 because the payment for the family coverage occurs every 2 weeks

52 ÷ 2 = 26

2. Finally, multiply the money paid by the employer every two weeks by 26

26 weeks x $492 = $12792- This is the total the employer pays annually

Total earnings =  $2193.5  + $906.5+  $1488 +$1074.15

= $5662.15

(Total earnings) ÷ (Total students )

= $5662.15÷ 351

= $16.13

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypothesis to determine whether the vending machines are properly dispensing 12 ounces of coffee is:

H₀: [tex]\mu_{A}=\mu_{B}=\mu_{C}[/tex]

Hₐ: Not all means are equal.

The ANOVA output is as follows:

One-way ANOVA: Machine A, Machine B, Machine C

Source           DF              SS                MS              F              P

Factor              2            8.363           4.182         31.73       0.000

Error               15             1.977            0.132

Total               17           10.340

The significance level is α = 0.05.

The p-value of the model is:

p-value = 0.000

Decision rule:

If the p-value of the test is less than the significance level then the null hypothesis will be rejected.

p-value = 0.000 < α = 0.05

The null hypothesis will be rejected.

Conclusion:

There is a significant difference between the means.

Thus, the correct option is B.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a square is expressed as A = L² where L is the length of one side of the square.

The rate of change of area will be expressed  using chain rule as;

dA/dt = dA/dL * dL/dt where;

dL/dt is the rate at which the side length of the square is decreasing.

Given L = 7cm, dL/dt = 8cm/sec and dA/dL = 2L

dA/dL = 2(7)

dA/dL = 14cm

Substituting the given value into the chain rule expression above to get the rate of change of the area of the square, we will have;

dA/dt = dA/dL * dL/dt

dA/dt = 14cm * 8cm/sec

dA/dt = 112cm²/sec

Hence, the rate of change of the area of the square when the side length is 7 cm is 112cm²/sec
