Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

smaller: -4larger: -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Substituting the given variables into the word problem, we have two equations:

  3x +3y = -15

  6x -3y = -21

Adding these equations eliminates y:

  9x = -36

  x = -4 . . . . divide by 9

Using this in the first equation, we have ...

  3(-4) +3y = -15

  -4 +y = -5 . . . . . divide by 3

  y = -1 . . . . . . . . . add 4

The smaller number is -4; the larger is -1.

In a study of the effect of aluminum intake on the mental development of infants, a group of 54infants who had been born prematurely were given a special aluminum depleted intravenous-feeding solution. At an adjusted age of 18 months,the neurologic development of the infants were measured using the Bayley Mental Development Index (BMDI), a unitless scale with higher scores indicating higher development. They had a sample mean BMDI of 97.4 and a sample standard deviation of 18.0.The (BMDI) is similar to an IQ score, with 100 being the average in the general population.

Assuming all relevant assumptions are met, carry out the appropriate testto determine if infants who receivedthealuminum depleted intravenous-feeding solution had a significantly differentaverage BMDI score thaninthe general population. Be sure to include all the stepsfor full credit.

Given:critical value= = 2.00

Answers

Answer:

The decision rule is  

  Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is

   The no sufficient evidence to conclude  that the average  BMDI score is different from the general population

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  sample size is  n  =  54

    The sample mean is  [tex]\= x  =  97.4[/tex]

    The standard deviation is  [tex]s = 18.0[/tex]

     The population mean is  [tex]\mu  =  100[/tex]

     The critical value  is  [tex]t_{critical } =  2.0[/tex]

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as  

       [tex]t =  \frac{\= x - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

=>    [tex]t =  \frac{ 97.4  - 100}{\frac{ 18}{\sqrt{54} } }[/tex]

=>    [tex]t =-1.062[/tex]

Comparing the obtained t statistics with the critical value we see that

   The  critical value is not within the region of rejection (i.e -1.062 to 1.062  )

Hence the decision rule is  

  Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is

   The no sufficient evidence to conclude  that the average  BMDI score is different from the general population

A regional office of the Internal Revenue Service randomly distributes returns to be audited to the pool of auditors. Over the thousands of returns audited last year, the average amount of extra taxes collected was $356 per audited return. One of the auditors, Jeffrey Jones, is suspected of being too lenient with persons whose returns are being audited. For a simple random sample of 30 of the returns audited by Mr. Jones last year, an average of $340 in extra taxes was collected.

Required:
Assuming a normal population of extra taxes collected with a standard deviation of $90, do the suspicions against Mr. Jones appear to be justified?

Answers

Answer:

The decision rule is

   Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is  

     There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the justification against Mr. Jones appears not  to be justified

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The population mean is  [tex]\mu  =  \$ 356[/tex]

    The sample  size is n  =  30  

     The sample mean is [tex]\= x = \$340[/tex]

    The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma =  \$ 90[/tex]

    The  null hypothesis is [tex]H_o  :  \mu =  \$ 35 6[/tex]

     The alternative hypothesis is   [tex]H_a  :  \mu \ne  \$ 35 6[/tex]

Let assume the significance level is [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Generally the test statistic is mathematically represented as

     [tex]t = \frac{\= x - \mu }{\frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

=>  [tex]t = \frac{ 340 - 356 }{\frac{90 }{\sqrt{30} } }[/tex]

=>  [tex]t =-0.9737 [/tex]

Generally the sample size from the question is  small that it is not greater than 30  hence we use t-test

Now the degree of freedom is mathematically represented as

     [tex]df =  n- 1[/tex]

=>   [tex]df =  30- 1[/tex]

=>   [tex]df= 29[/tex]

Generally the p-value is mathematically represented as

      [tex]p-value =  2 P (t >  -0.9737 )[/tex]

Generally from the t-distribution table , the probability of -0.9737 at a degree of freedom of  [tex]df= 29[/tex] for a two -tailed  test  is

     [tex]P (t >  -0.9737 ) =  0.33825793[/tex]

Hence p-value  is  

     [tex]p-value =  2*0.33825793[/tex]

      [tex]p-value =  0.676 [/tex]

From the value we obtained we see that  [tex]p-value  >  \alpha[/tex] hence

The decision rule is

   Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is  

     There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the justification against Mr. Jones appears not  to be justified

You are playing a video game. For each diamond you collect, you earn 110 points. You also earn 80 bonus points by completing the level in less than 2 minutes. You need to earn more than 1620 points to continue on to the next level. Write and solve an inequality that represents the numbers d of diamonds you must collect in less than 2 minutes to advance to the next level.

Answers

Answer:

110d + 80 > 1620

d > 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of points from collecting diamonds can be represented by 110d, since you get 110 points for each diamond, d

Add 80 to this to represent the bonus points.

Use a greater than inequality, because you have to get more than 1620 points.

Put this all together:

110d + 80 > 1620

Then, solve for d:

110d + 80 > 1620

110d > 1540

d > 14

So, you have to collect more than 14 diamonds in less than 2 minutes in order to advance to the next level.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that Haley encounter two traffic lights on her commute to GGC campus. Based on

her past experience, she judge that the probability is 0.35 that the first light will be red when she gets to it,

0.45 that the second light will be red, and 0.20 that both lights will be red. Let R1 denote the event that the

first light is red, and let R2 denote the event that the second light is red.

a) Determine the probability that at least one light will be red. (Show how you calculate this.)

b) Determine the conditional probability that the second light will be red given that the first light is

red. (Show how you calculate this.)

c) Are the events R1 and R2 independent? Justify your answer numerically.

d) Are the events R1 and R2 disjoint (mutually exclusive)? Justify your answer numerically.

Answers

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The information provided is,

P (R₁) = 0.35

P (R₂) = 0.45

P (R₁ ∩ R₂) = 0.20

(a)

Compute the probability that at least one light will be red as follows:

P (at least one light will be red) = P (R₁ ∪ R₂)

                                                    = P (R₁) + P (R₂) - P (R₁ ∩ R₂)

                                                    = 0.35 + 0.45 - 0.20

                                                    = 0.60

Thus, the probability that at least one light will be red is 0.60.

(b)

Compute the conditional probability that the second light will be red given that the first light is red as follows:

[tex]P(R_{2}|R_{1})=\frac{P(R_{1}\cap R_{2})}{P(R_{1})}[/tex]

                [tex]=\frac{0.20}{0.35}\\\\=0.571428\\\\\approx 0.57[/tex]

Thus, the conditional probability that the second light will be red given that the first light is red is 0.57.

(c)

If two events, say A and B are independent then:

P (A|B) = P (A).

The value of P (R₂ | R₁) = 0.57.

And the value of P (R₂) = 0.45

P (R₂ | R₁) ≠ P (R₂)

Thus, the events R₁ and R₂ are not independent.

(d)

If two events, say A and B are mutually exclusive then:

P (A ∩ B) = 0

The value of P (R₁ ∩ R₂) = 0.20.

Thus, the events R₁ and R₂ are not mutually exclusive.

All of the following represent the same function except

Answers

All of the aforementioned represent the same function except: C. {(0, 1), (2, 3), (4, 5), (7, 8)}.

What is a function?

A function can be defined as a mathematical expression which is used to define and represent the relationship that exists between two or more variables.

The types of function.

In Mathematics, there are different types of function and these include the following;

Modulus functionSignum functionPeriodic functionInverse functionPiece-wise defined function.Logarithm function

From the first mapping, we can logically deduce the following:

when x = 1, y = 0

y = x - 1

0 = 1 - 1

when x = 3, y = 2

y = x - 1

2 = 3 - 1

when x = 5, y = 4

y = x - 1

4 = 5 - 1

when x = 8, y = 7

y = x - 1

7 = 8 - 1

For the ordered pair, we have:

when x = 0, y = 1

y = x + 1

1 = 0 + 1

when x = 2, y = 3

y = x + 1

3 = 2 + 1

when x = 4, y = 5

y = x + 1

5 = 4 + 1

Therefore, the function for these ordered pairs is equal to y = x + 1.

For the table of value, we have:

when x = 1, y = 0

y = x - 1

0 = 1 - 1

In this context, we can reasonably infer and logically deduce that all of the aforementioned represent the same function except {(0, 1), (2, 3), (4, 5), (7, 8)}.

Is it possible to partition an arbitrary right triangle into isosceles triangles? Justify your answer.
please answer asap :)

Answers

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

An arbitrary right triangle can be partitioned into isosceles triangle by drawing a median from the right angle to the hypotenuse.

What is Right Angled Triangle?

Right angled triangle are those triangle for which one of the angle is 90 degrees.

Let's take a right angled triangle ΔABC.

Let C be the right angle in this triangle.

Then AB will be the longest side of the triangle, which is the hypotenuse.

Median of a triangle is the line segment joining the vertex to the midpoint  of the opposite side of the triangle.

Suppose we draw a median from C to the midpoint of AB intersecting AB at a point P.

Then there are two triangles formed ΔAPC and ΔBPC.

AP = BP since P is the midpoint of AB.

PC = PC is the common side for both triangles.

So ΔAPC and ΔBPC are isosceles triangles, because two sides are equal.

Hence any right triangle can be partitioned into two isosceles triangles this way.

To find :

The plot of the coordinates for the intersection.

Solution:

Now we know that inverse function is changing the y=f(x) and then

changing to x to y and y to x

So given function is f(x)

Inverse function is y,

But value of inverse function is f-1(x)

So y=f(x)=f-1(x)

Therefore it becomes

y=x
