Answer:

The calculated Z= 10/4.61 = 2.169

The P value is 0.975 .

Since the calculated value of z= 2.169 falls in the rejection region we therefore reject the null hypothesis at 5 % significance level . On the basis of this we conclude that the students at University A do not spend more on textbooks then the students at University B.

Step-by-step explanation:

We set up our hypotheses as

H0 : x 1= x2 and Ha: x1 ≠ x2

We specify significance level ∝= 0.05

The test statistic if H0: x1= x2 is true is

Z =  [tex]\frac{x_1-x_2}\sqrt\frac{s_1^2}{n_1}+ \frac{s_2^2}{n_2}[/tex]

Z = 260-250/ √400/50 + 529/40

Z= 10 / √8+ 13.225

Z= 10/4.61 = 2.169

The critical value for two tailed test at alpha=0.05 is ± 1.96

The P value is 0.975 .

It is calculated by dividing alpha by 2 for a two sided test and subtracting from 1. When we subtract   0.025 ( 0.05/2)from 1 we get 0.975

Since the calculated value of z= 2.169 falls in the rejection region we therefore reject the null hypothesis at 5 % significance level . On the basis of this we conclude that the students at University A do not spend more on textbooks then the students at University B.

Answer:

Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] = 200 clicks a day

Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu\neq[/tex] 200 clicks a day

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a website developer wished to analyze the clicks per day on their newly updated website.

The website developer wants to know if the number of clicks per day is different than 200 clicks a day, on average.

Let [tex]\mu[/tex] = mean number of clicks per day.

So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] = 200 clicks a day

Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu\neq[/tex] 200 clicks a day

Here, the null hypothesis states that the mean number of clicks per day is 200 clicks a day.

On the other hand, the alternate hypothesis states that the mean number of clicks per day is different than 200 clicks a day.

Hence, this is the correct null and alternative hypotheses.

Answer: Null Hypothesis [tex]H_0:\mu=200[/tex]

Alternate Hypothesis[tex]H_a:\mu\neq200[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]\mu[/tex] be the mean number of clicks per day.

Given, a website developer wished to analyze the clicks per day on their newly updated website.

The website developer wants to know if the number of clicks per day is different than 200 clicks a day, on average.

i.e. he wants to check either [tex]\mu=200\text{ or }\mu\neq 200[/tex]

Since a null hypothesis is a hypothesis believes that there is no difference between the two variables whereas an alternative hypothesis believes that there is a statistically significant difference between two variables.

So,  Null Hypothesis [tex]H_0:\mu=200[/tex]

Alternate Hypothesis[tex]H_a:\mu\neq200[/tex]

Hence, the required null and alternative hypotheses.

Null Hypothesis [tex]H_0:\mu=200[/tex]

Alternate Hypothesis[tex]H_a:\mu\neq200[/tex]

Answer:

Correct options are 2, 5 and 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the given vertices of triangle are A(-3,-3), B(-3,2) and C(1,2).

Distance formula:

[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

Using distance formula, we get

[tex]AB=\sqrt{(-3-(-3))^2+(2-(-3))^2}[/tex]

[tex]AB=\sqrt{(0)^2+(5)^2}[/tex]

[tex]AB=\sqrt{25}[/tex]

[tex]AB=5[/tex]

Similarly,

[tex]BC=\sqrt{(1-(-3))^2+(2-2)^2}=4[/tex]

[tex]AC=\sqrt{(1-(-3))^2+(2-(-3))^2}=\sqrt{16+25}=\sqrt{41}[/tex]

From the above calculation it is clear that AC>AB and AC>BC.

According to Pythagoras theorem, in a right angle triangle, the square of largest side is equal to the sum of squares of two small sides.

[tex]hypotenuse^2=base^2+perpendicular^2[/tex]

[tex]AC^2=(\sqrt{41})^2=41[/tex]

[tex]AB^2+BC^2=(5)^2+4^2=24+16=41=AC^2[/tex]

So, given triangle is a right angle triangle and AC is its hypotenuse.

Therefore, the correct options are 2, 5 and 7.

Explanation:

Subtracting a negative is the same as adding. Example: 2-(-3) = 2+3 = 5.

So (x+y)-(-z) is the same as x+y+z. We can group up terms inside parenthesis and it won't change the result. Meaning that x+y+z is the same as any of the following below

We could also swap the order of either x, y or z, and still have the same result.

Answer:

C = pi sqrt(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a square is x

A = s^2 where s is the side length

x = s^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x) = s

This would be the diameter of the inscribed circle

The circumference of a circle is given by

C = pi d

C = pi sqrt(x)

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assign the variable n to be the sides of the square.

Since a square has four equal sides, the area of the square is n^2 or x.

Therefore:

[tex]n=\sqrt{x}[/tex]

The largest circle that can be inscribed in the square will have the largest possible diameter. The largest possible diameter will be straight across the center of the circle. So, the largest possible diameter will be the side length, n.

Therefore, the radius will be n/2.

The circumference of a circle is:

[tex]C=2\pi r[/tex]

Plug in n/2 for the radius:

[tex]C=2\pi (\frac{n}{2})\\ C=n\pi[/tex]

Now, substitute n for the square root of x:

[tex]C=\pi\sqrt{x}[/tex]

Answer:

a). BLUE color

b). 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

a). "Which color was chosen by approximately one fourth of the students?"

  Since one fourth of the students will be represented by one fourth area of the circle given.

That means color of choice represented by the quarter of the circle will be the color liked by one fourth students.

In the figure attached, BLUE color is the choice of one fourth students in the class.

b). Area represented by purple, green and other colors is a quarter of the circle.

If we divide this quarter into five equal sections, then the total of purple and green will be  [tex]4\times \frac{1}{5}[/tex] of the the quarter of the circle.

Measure of the angle defined by purple or green sections = [tex]\frac{4}{5}\times 90[/tex]

                                                                                                     = 72°

Percentage of the students who preferred purple or green = [tex]\frac{72}{360}\times 100[/tex]

                                                                                                     = 20%

Answer:

√(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)/(x^-(1/2)) that's 3 goes into -3 leaving 1 and goes into 6 leaving 2

1/2 is same as 2^-1

so therefore we can simplify the above as

x^-(-1/2)

x^(1/2)

and 4^(1/2)

is same as √(4)

so we conclude as

√(x)

An apple orchard has an average yield of 32 bushels of apples per tree if tree density is 26 trees per acre. For each unit increase in tree density, the yield decreases by 2 bushels per tree. How many trees per acre should be planted to maximize the yield?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Let assume that  26+x trees per acre  are planted

then the  yield per acre will be (26+x)(32-2x)

However;

As x = 0 (i.e. planting 26 per acre), we have;

= (26+0) (32 - 2 (0))

= 26 × 32

= 832

As x = 1 (i.e planting 19 per acre), we have:

= (26+1) (32-2(1)

= 27 × 30

= 810

As x = 2 (i.e. planting 20 per acre), we have:

= (26 +2 ) ( 32 - 2(2)

= 28 × 28

= 784

The series continues in a downward direction for the yield per acre.

Thus,  for maximum plant 19 per acre, it can achieved by method of calculus given that the differentiation of the maximum point of x = 1

Finally, due to integer solution, it is not advisable to use calculus as such other methods should be applied.

Answer: S₁₉ = 855

Step-by-step explanation:

T₄ = a + ( n - 1 )d  = 5 , from the statement above , but n = 4

       a + 3d  = 5 -------------------------1

S₆ = ⁿ/₂[(2a + ( n - 1 )d]  =  10, where n = 6

    = ⁶/₂( 2a + 5d )         = 10

    = 3( 2a + 5d ) = 10

    = 6a + 15d      = 10 -----------------2

Now solve the two equation together simultaneously to get the values of a and d

   a + 3d     = 5

   6a + 15d = 10

from 1,

a = 5 - 3d -------------------------------3

Now put (3) in equation 2 and open the brackets

6( 5 - 3d )  + 15d = 10

30 - 18d + 15d      = 10

30 - 3d                 = 10

            3d            = 30 - 10

             3d           = 20

                         d = ²⁰/₃.

Now substitute for d to get a in equation 3

           a = 5 - 3( ²⁰/₃)

           a = 5 - 3 ₓ ²⁰/₃

              = 5 - 20

          a  = -15.

Now to find the sum of the first 19 terms,

we use the formula

S₁₉ = ⁿ/₂( 2a + ( n - 1 )d )

     = ¹⁹/₂( 2 x -15 + 18 x ²⁰/₃ )

     = ¹⁹/₂( -30 + 6 x 20 )

     = ¹⁹/₂( -30 + 120 )

     = ¹⁹/₂( 90 )

     = ¹⁹/₂ x 90

     = 19 x 45

     = 855

Therefore,

S₁₉ = 855

Answer:

Area = 18 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the triangle, let's go through the following steps:

(i) Let the vertices be;

A = (7, -3)

B = (4, -3)

C = (4, 9)

(ii) The sides of the triangle are therefore,

AB, BC and CA

(iii) Using the distance formula, calculate the lengths of AB, BC and CA

[tex]AB = \sqrt{(7-4)^2 + ( -3 - (-3))^2}[/tex]

[tex]AB = \sqrt{3^2 + (0)^2}\\[/tex]

[tex]AB = \sqrt{9}[/tex]

[tex]AB = 3[/tex]

[tex]BC = \sqrt{(4-4)^2 + ( -3 - 9)^2}[/tex]

[tex]BC = \sqrt{0^2 + (-12)^2}[/tex]

[tex]BC = \sqrt{144}[/tex]

[tex]BC = 12[/tex]

[tex]CA = \sqrt{(4-7)^2 + ( 9 - (-3))^2}[/tex]

[tex]CA = \sqrt{(-3)^2 + (12)^2}[/tex]

[tex]CA = \sqrt{9 + 144}[/tex]

[tex]CA = \sqrt{153}[/tex]

[tex]CA = 12.4[/tex]

(iv) Now that we have all the sides, let's calculate the area of the triangle using the Heron's formula.

Area = [tex]\sqrt{p(p-a)(p-b)(p-c)}[/tex]

Where;

p = [tex]\frac{a + b + c}{2}[/tex]

a, b and c are the sides of the triangle.

In our case,

let

a = AB = 3

b = BC = 12

c = CA = 12.4

∴ p = [tex]\frac{3 + 12 + 12.4}{2}[/tex]

p = 13.7

Area = [tex]\sqrt{p(p-a)(p-b)(p-c)}[/tex]

Area = [tex]\sqrt{13.7(13.7-3)(13.7-12)(13.7-12.4)}[/tex]

Area =  [tex]\sqrt{13.7(10.7)(1.7)(1.3)}[/tex]

Area =  [tex]\sqrt{323.9639}[/tex]

Area  = 17.999

Area = 18 square units

OR

To get the area of the triangle, we can use a much simpler approach.

Since the triangle is a right triangle,

(i) the hypotenuse, which is the longest side is CA = 12.4

(ii) the other two sides are AB and BC. These two sides will form the right angle.

Therefore, we can use the relation:

Area = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x base x height

Where;

the base or height can either be AB or BC

Area = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x 3 x 12

Area = 18 square units

PS: In a right triangle, the other two sides apart from the hypotenuse form the right angle.

Answer:

The probability is 2,010,580/13,378,456

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is a combination problem.

We want to 7 cards from a total of 52.

The number of ways to do this is 52C7 ways.

Also, we know there are 12 face cards in a standard deck of cards.

So we are selecting 3 face cards from this total of 12.

So also the number of cards which are not face cards are 52-12 = 40 cards

Out of all these 40, we shall be selecting exactly 4. The number of ways to do this 40C4

Thus, the required probability will be;

(40C4 * 12C3)/52C7 = (91,390 * 220)/133,784,560

= 20,105,800/133,784,560 = 2,010,580/13,378,456

Answer:

  4424 books

Step-by-step explanation:

After the revenue from each book pays for its own cost, it can contribute to the payment of the fixed costs. That "contribution margin" is ...

  $25.50 -11.25 = $14.25

If each book sold contributes that much to the recovery of fixed costs, then the total number of books that must be sold to break even is ...

  $63,042/($14.25/book) = 4424 books

4424 books must be produced and sold so production costs equal sales.

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first find the mean and median of each class.

Class 1:

The mean is simply all the numbers added up and then divided by the number of elements. There are 9 students in Class 1. Thus, we add all the ages up and then divide by 9. Thus:

[tex]\text{Class 1 Mean }= \frac{14+15+15+16+16+16+17+17+18}{9} \\=144/9=16[/tex]

The median is simply the middle number when the data sets are placed in order. The median of Class 1 is 16, the number in the middle.

Class 2:

Again, Class 2 has 9 students. Add up all the ages and then divide:

[tex]\text{Class 2 Mean }= \frac{13+14+15+16+16+17+18+18+19}{9}\\ =146/9\approx16.2222[/tex]

The median is the middle number of the data set. The median of Class 2 is 16.

Therefore, the mean of Class 2 is larger than the mean of Class 1. The medians of the two classes are equivalent.

Of the answer choices given, only D is correct.

Answer:

The mean of class II is larger and the median is the same

Step-by-step explanation:

Class I

14,15,15,16,16,16,17,17,18

The mean is

(14+15+15+16+16+16+17+17+18)/9

144/9 = 16

The median is the middle number

14,15,15,16,    16,    16,17,17,18

median = 16

Class II

13,14,15,16,16,17,18,18,19

The mean is

(13+14+15+16+16+17+18+18+19)/9

146/9 = 16.2repeating

The median is the middle number

13,14,15,16    ,16,       17,18,18,19

median = 16

Answer:

d. 27 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of cube = s^3 = B * s

volume of pyramid = (1/3) * B * h

The volume of a pyramid is 1/3 of the area of the base multiplied by the height. The volume of a cube is the area of the base multiplied by the height. Since the volume of a pyramid has the fraction 1/3 and the volume of the cube does not, then the volume of a cube is 3 times greater than the volume of a pyramid that fits inside and has the same base area.

volume of pyramid = 9 cu ft

volume of cube = 3 * 9 cu ft = 27 cu ft

Answer: d. 27 cubic feet

Answer:

27 ft^3 (Answer d)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the volume of the pyramid is (1/3) the volume of the cube:

Letting s represent the length of one side of the base,

(1/3)(s)^2(s) = 9 ft^3, equivalent to  s^3 = 27.

Solving for s, we get s = 3 ft.

Thus, the volume of the cube is V = s^3 = (3 ft)^3 = 27 ft^3 (Answer d)

Answer:

Confidence level  = 59.46%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

An economist reports that 576 out of a sample of 1,200 middle-income American households participate in the stock market.

sample mean = 576

sample size = 1200

The sample proportion [tex]\hat p[/tex] = x/n

The sample proportion [tex]\hat p[/tex] = 576/1200 = 0.48

A confidence interval of [0.468, 0.492] was calculated. What confidence level was used in this calculation?

The  confidence interval level can be determined by using the formula:

[tex]M.E =Z_{critical} \times \sqrt{\dfrac{\hat p (1- \hat p)}{n}}[/tex]

If the calculated confidence interval was [0.468, 0.492]

Then,

[tex]\hat p[/tex]  - M.E = 0.468

0.48 -M.E = 0.468

0.48 - 0.468 = M.E

0.012 = M.E

M.E = 0.012

NOW;

[tex]0. 012 =Z_{critical} \times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.48 (1- 0.48)}{1200}}[/tex]

[tex]0. 012 =Z_{critical} \times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.48 (0.52)}{1200}}[/tex]

[tex]0. 012 =Z_{critical} \times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.2496}{1200}}[/tex]

[tex]0. 012 =Z_{critical} \times \sqrt{2.08\times10^{-4}}[/tex]

[tex]0. 012 =Z_{critical} \times 0.01442[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{0. 012}{0.01442} =Z_{critical}[/tex]

[tex]Z_{critical} =0.8322[/tex]

From the standard normal tables,

the p - value at [tex]Z_{critical} =0.8322[/tex] =  0.7973

Since the test is two tailed

[tex]1 - \alpha/2= 0.7973[/tex]

[tex]\alpha/2= 1-0.7973[/tex]

[tex]\alpha/2= 0.2027[/tex]

[tex]\alpha= 0.2027 \times 2[/tex]

[tex]\alpha= 0.4054[/tex]

the level of significance = 0.4054

Confidence level = 1 - level of significance

Confidence level = 1 - 0.4054

Confidence level = 0.5946

Confidence level  = 59.46%

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w

Area of rectangle = l × w

where

l is the length

w is the width

From the question

The length is twice its width is written as

l = 2w

Substitute this into the formula for finding the area of the rectangle

Area = 200 yd²

200 = 2w²

Divide both sides by 2

w² = 100

Find the square root of both sides

width = 10cm

Substitute this value into l = 2w

That's

l = 2(10)

length = 20cm

Perimeter of the rectangle is

2(20) + 2(10)

= 40 + 20

To shift to the left, we replace x with x+4. So we have f(x) = x^2 turn into f(x+4) = (x+4)^2 so far.

Then we subtract off 3 to move everything 3 units down. We have

g(x) = (x+4)^2-3

---------------------

Optionally we can expand things out like so

g(x) = (x+4)^2-3

g(x) = (x+4)(x+4)-3

g(x) = x(x+4)+4(x+4)-3

g(x) = x^2+4x+4x+16-3

g(x) = x^2+8x+13

Showing that (x+4)^2-3 is equivalent to x^2+8x+13

Answer:

26.75 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

Cube Area: A = l²

Triangle Area: A = 1/2bh

Step 1: Find area of biggest triangle

A = 1/2(3.5)(2 + 2 + 5)

A = 1.75(9)

A = 15.75

Step 2: Find area of 2nd biggest triangle

A = 1/2(5)(2)

A = 1/2(10)

A = 5

Step 3: Find area of smallest triangle

A = 1/2(2)(2)

A = 1/2(4)

A = 2

Step 4: Find area of cube

A = 2²

A = 4

Step 5: Add all the values together

A = 15.75 + 5 + 2 + 4

A = 20.75 + 2 + 4

A = 22.75 + 4

A = 26.75

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The true statement is:

The functions f and g have the same axis of symmetry, and the y-intercept of f is greater than the y-intercept of g.

A mathematical phrase, rule, or law that establishes the link between an independent variable and a dependent variable (the dependent variable). In mathematics, functions exist everywhere, and they are crucial for constructing physical links in the sciences.

As, per the graph and table is:

From the graph of f(x):

Axis of symmetry will be at x = 2

The maximum value of f(x) = 10

From the table of g(x):

Axis of symmetry will be at x = 2

The minimum value of g(x) = 4

thus, The functions f and g have the same axis of symmetry, and the y-intercept of f is greater than the y-intercept of g.

Answer:

A. y + 2= x

Step-by-step explanation:

Which equation is represented by the graph shown in the image?

A. y + 2= x

B. y + 1= x

C. y - 1= x

D. y - 2= x

Please show ALL work! <3

The graph shown has a slope of +1 and a y intercept of -2.

All given answer choices have a slope of +1, so that's not the problem.

We need one that has a y-intercept of -2, or the equation should be

y = x-2, or equivalently y+2 = x

which corresponds to answer choice A.
