Answer:

x = 2AC = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint divides the segment into two equal lengths:

  AB = BC

  5x -2 = 9x -10

  8 = 4x

  2 = x

  AB = 5(2) -2 = 8

  AC = 2AB = 2(8) = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The basic idea is you put 7 where x is and do the arithmetic.

Polynomial evaluation is sometimes easier if you rewrite it to Horner form.

  f(x) = (4x -7)x +7

  f(7) = (4·7 -7)(7) +7 = 21(7) +7 = 147 +7

Because of the relatively high interest rates, most consumers attempt to pay off their credit card bills promptly. However, this is not always possible. An analysis of the amount of interest paid monthly by a bank's Visa cardholders reveals that the amount is normally distributed with a mean of 27 dollars and a standard deviation of 9 dollars.
A. What proportion of the bank's Visa cardholders pay more than 29 dollars in interest?
B. What proportion of the bank's Visa cardholders pay more than 35 dollars in interest?
C. What proportion of the bank's Visa cardholders pay less than 14 dollars in interest?
D. What interest payment is exceeded by only 18% of the bank's Visa cardholders?

Answers

Answer:

a. 0.4129 = 41.29% of the bank's Visa cardholders pay more than 29 dollars in interest.

b. 0.1867 = 18.67% of the bank's Visa cardholders pay more than 35 dollars in interest.

c. 0.0742 = 7.42% of the bank's Visa cardholders pay less than 14 dollars in interest.

d. An interest payment of $35.2 is exceeded by only 18% of the bank's Visa cardholders.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 27 dollars and a standard deviation of 9 dollars.

This means that [tex]\mu = 27, \sigma = 9[/tex]

A. What proportion of the bank's Visa cardholders pay more than 29 dollars in interest?

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 29, so:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{29 - 27}{9}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.22[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.22[/tex] has a p-value of 0.5871.

1 - 0.5871 = 0.4129

0.4129 = 41.29% of the bank's Visa cardholders pay more than 29 dollars in interest.

B. What proportion of the bank's Visa cardholders pay more than 35 dollars in interest?

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 35, so:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{35 - 27}{9}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.89[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.89[/tex] has a p-value of 0.8133.

1 - 0.8133 = 0.1867

0.1867 = 18.67% of the bank's Visa cardholders pay more than 35 dollars in interest.

C. What proportion of the bank's Visa cardholders pay less than 14 dollars in interest?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 14. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{14 - 27}{9}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.445[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.445[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0742.

0.0742 = 7.42% of the bank's Visa cardholders pay less than 14 dollars in interest.

D. What interest payment is exceeded by only 18% of the bank's Visa cardholders?

This is the 100 - 18 = 82nd percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.82, so X when Z = 0.915.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]0.915 = \frac{X - 27}{9}[/tex]

[tex]X - 27 = 0.915*9[/tex]

[tex]X = 35.2[/tex]

An interest payment of $35.2 is exceeded by only 18% of the bank's Visa cardholders.

The perimeter of a triangle is 83 centimeters. If two sides are equally long and the third side is 8 centimeters longer than the others, find the lengths of the three sides.

Regina has 3 bags of marbles. There are 25 marbles in each bag. She wants to put an equal number of marbles into 5 bags. Which expression would show how many marbles can go in each bag?

Answers

Answer:

(3 × 25)/5 marbles can go in each bag

Explanation:

Number of bags Regina has = 3

Number of marbles in each bag = 25

So, total number of marbles = 3 × 25

Number of marbles in each bag, if divided equally into 5 bags = (3 × 25)/5

Further:

Solving the expression,

(3 × 25)/5

= 75/5

= 15

So, the each bag has 15 marbles if they are equally divided into 5 bags.

Answer:

(25 x 3) / 5

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to do 25 x 3 to get the total amount of marbles. Then you have to divide that by the amount of bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average of 2 numbers means add the two numbers and divide by 2

(y+z)/2 = 5x

Let z = 2x+3

(y+2x+3)/2 = 5x

Multiply each side by 2

y+2x+3 = 10x

Subtract 2x from each side

y+3 = 10x-2x

y+3 = 8x

Subtract 3

y = 8x-3

The answer is [tex]x=\frac{4(+-)\sqrt{19} }{3}[/tex] in exact form or [tex]x=2.7863[/tex], [tex]x=-0.1196[/tex] in decimal form.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, start by moving all expression to the left side of the equation, which will include subtracting [tex]3x^2[/tex] and adding 1 to both sides of the equation. The equation will look like [tex]8x-3x^2+1=0[/tex].

Then, use the quadratic formula to find the solutions to the equation. The quadratic formula looks like [tex]\frac{-b(+-)\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}[/tex].

For this problem, the quadratic variables are as follows:

[tex]a=-3\\b=8\\c=1[/tex]

The next step is to substitute the values [tex]a=-3[/tex], [tex]b=8[/tex], and [tex]c=1[/tex] into the quadratic formula and solve for x. The quadratic formula will look like [tex]\frac{-8(+-)\sqrt{8^2-4(-3)(1)} }{2*-3}[/tex]. To simplify the equation, start by simplifying the numerator, which will look like [tex]x=\frac{-8(+-)2\sqrt{19} }{2*-3}[/tex]. Then, multiply 2 by -3 and simplify the equation, which will look like [tex]x=\frac{4(+-)\sqrt{19} }{3}[/tex]. The final answer is [tex]x=\frac{4(+-)\sqrt{19} }{3}[/tex] in exact form. In decimal form, the final answer is [tex]x=2.7863[/tex], [tex]x=-0.1196[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given information, vector stands in the 4th Quadrant ([tex]x > 0[/tex], [tex]y < 0[/tex]) and direction of the vector ([tex]\theta[/tex]) in sexagesimal degrees, is determined by following definition:

[tex]\theta = 360^{\circ} - \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{|y|}{|x|} \right)\pm 360\cdot i[/tex], [tex]\forall \,i\in \mathbb{N}_{O}[/tex]

Please notice that angle represents a function with a periodicity of 360°.

If we know that [tex]x = 4[/tex] and [tex]y = -3[/tex], then the direction of the vector is:

[tex]\theta = 360^{\circ}-\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{|-3|}{|4|} \right)\pm 360\cdot i[/tex]

[tex]\theta = 323.130^{\circ} \pm 360\cdot i[/tex]

An automobile manufacturer has given its jeep a 51.3 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the actual MPG for this jeep since it is believed that the jeep has an incorrect manufacturer's MPG rating. After testing 230 jeeps, they found a mean MPG of 51.1. Assume the population variance is known to be 6.25. A level of significance of 0.02 will be used. Make the decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Answers

Answer:

The p-value of the test is 0.2262 > 0.02, which means that the decision is to fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

An automobile manufacturer has given its jeep a 51.3 miles/gallon (MPG) rating.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is of 51.3, that is:

[tex]H_0: \mu = 51.3[/tex]

An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the actual MPG for this jeep since it is believed that the jeep has an incorrect manufacturer's MPG rating.

This means that at the alternative hypothesis, we test if the mean is different of 51.3, that is:

[tex]H_0: \mu \neq 51.3[/tex]

The test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

51.3 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 51.3[/tex]

After testing 230 jeeps, they found a mean MPG of 51.1. Assume the population variance is known to be 6.25.

This means that [tex]n = 230, X = 51.1, \sigma = \sqrt{6.25} = 2.5[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{51.1 - 51.3}{\frac{2.5}{\sqrt{230}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = -1.21[/tex]

P-value of the test and decision:

The p-value of the test is the probability of the sample mean differing from 51.1 by at least 0.2, which is P(|z| > 1.21), which is 2 multiplied by the p-value of z = -1.21.

Looking at the z-table, z = -1.21 has a p-value of 0.1131.

2*0.1131 = 0.2262

The p-value of the test is 0.2262 > 0.02, which means that the decision is to fail to reject the null hypothesis.
