a recent survey reported that small businesses spend 24 hours a week marketing their business. a local chamber of commerce claims that small businesses in their area are not growing because these businesses are spending less than 24 hours a week on marketing. the chamber conducts a survey of 58 small businesses within their state and finds that the average amount of time spent on marketing is 22.7 hours a week. assuming that the population standard deviation is 6.1 hours, is there sufficient evidence to support the chamber of commerce’s claim at the 0.02 level of significance?

The equation of the line that passes through the points (-5,1) and (1,3) is x - 3y = -8

From  the question, we are to determine the equation of the line that passes through the given points.

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

Using the formula,

(y - y₁) / (x - x₁) = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Then,

(y - 1) / (x - (-5)) = (3 - 1) / (1 - (-5))

Simplify

(y - 1) / (x + 5) = 2 / (1 + 5)

(y - 1) / (x + 5) = 2 / 6

(y - 1) / (x + 5) = 1/3
Cross multiply

3(y - 1) = 1(x + 5)

3y - 3 = x + 5

x + 5 = 3y -3

x - 3y = -3 - 5

x - 3y = -8

Hence, the equation is x - 3y = -8

Answer: x = 126

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 50% of 120 is 60. So, to increase 120 by 50%, we add 60. This gets us 180. Next, we find 30% of 180. This is 54. So, we subtract 54 from 180. So, x = 126

There are three commonly used trigonometric identities.

Sin x = 1/ cosec x

Cos x = 1/ sec x

Tan x = 1/ cot x or sin x / cos x

Cot x = cos x / sin x

sin²x = (sec x - cos x) / sec x is,

sin²x + cos²x = 1

(proved)

There are three commonly used trigonometric identities.

Sin x = 1/ cosec x

Cos x = 1/ sec x

Tan x = 1/ cot x or sin x / cos x

Cot x = cos x / sin x

We have,

sin²x = (sec x - cos x) / sec x

We will prove that,

sin²x + cos²x = 1

sec x = 1/cos x

Now,

sec x - cos x

= 1/cos x - cos x

= (1 - cos²x) / cos x

Now,

sin²x = (1 - cos²x) / [(cos x) x 1/cos x]

sin²x = 1 - cos²x

sin²x + cos²x = 1

Proved

Thus,

sin²x = (sec x - cos x) / sec x is,

The probability that the islanders will win exactly two games is 0.359.

The binomial distribution is based on the binomial theorem which can be written as (a + b)ⁿ = ⁿC₀aⁿb⁰ + ⁿC₁aⁿ⁻¹b¹ + ⁿC₂aⁿ⁻²b²+ ....+ ⁿCₙa₀bⁿ.

In order to use in the probability, there should be events independent of each other and the sum of there probabilities is 1.

The probability of winning is 4/7.

Then the probability to lose is 1 - 4/7 = 3/7.

If islanders win exactly two games out of four, it implies that they will lose 2 as well.

Now, the probability of winning exactly two games can be found using binomial distribution as given below,

Look at the point on the y-axis. It is (0, 3).

Now go up to the right until you find the next easy-to-read point.

It is (3, 4) which is on a grid intersection.

gradient = run/rise

rise = distance in y (vertical distance)

run = distance in x (horizontal distance)

We start at (0, 3) and go to (4, 4) by going only vertically and horizontally.

The question has a transformation of H by essentially multiplying it by 4 that, then turns it into T. Knowing that we can multiply the mean of 0.5 by 4 with rules of a linear transformation when multiplying each observation by a positive constant. With that, we get the mean of T to equal 2.

Since we know it is independent, we can solve for standard deviation. To do so, we have to add 0.5 squared 4 times and square root it. That will look like this: Squareroot(0.5^2+0.5^2+0.5^2+0.5^2). That will give you 1 as the standard deviation for T.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of bracelets that can be made be x.

3.5 * 60 = 210 minutes

Accordingly,

Time (min)            Number of bracelets

30                      ⇒            7

210                    ⇒           x

Now, we can make an expression like this using cross multiplication.

30x = 7 × 210

30x = 1470

Divide both sides by 30.

The probability that mean blood pressure less than 118 is 0.9938.

We have given that,

blood pressure are normally distributed mean of 116

i.e. μ = 116

standard deviation σ = 4.8

n = 36

and we have to find probability that their mean blood pressure will be less than 118.

The formula to find the above probability is,

P(Z=X) = (x - μ) / (σ/[tex]\sqrt{n}[/tex] )

⇒ P(Z < 118) = (118 - 116) / 4.8/[tex]\sqrt{36}[/tex]

                   = 2 / (4.8/6)

                   = 2/0.8

  P(Z < 118) = 2.5

From the z-table the value of z at 2.5 is 0.9938,

⇒ P(Z < 118) = 0.9938.

Therefore the probability that their mean blood pressure will be less than 118 is 0.09938.
