What is the value of a in the equation -1/4 a -5=5-2?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

-32

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/4a-5=5-2

add 5 to both sides to cancel the negative five on the left side.

-1/4a-5+5=5-2+5

-1/4a=8

multiply the equation by -4 to get the a just by itself

-4(-1/4)a=8(-4)

a=-32

Is this statement always true? Or sometimes true? Or

X-y is greater than x+y
Always
Sometimes or
Never

Answers

Answer:

Sometimes. Say x = 3 and y = 4. 3 + 4 = 7, 3 - 4 = -1. However, the subtraction problem can be greater than the addition if you add some negatives into the mix. Say x = 3 and y = -4. 3 + (-4) is the same as subtracting 4, which give you -1. However, when you subtract negative four, it's the same as adding four, which gives you seven.

A brochure claims that the average maximum height a certain type of plant is 0.7 m. A gardener suspects that this estimate is not accurate locally due to soil conditions. A random sample of 43 plants is taken. The mean height of the plants in the sample is 0.65m. Using a 1% level of significance, perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the population mean is different from 0.7m. Assume that the population standard deviation is 0.2 m.

Answers

Answer:

We accept the null hypothesis, that is, that the population mean is not different from 0.7.

Step-by-step explanation:

A brochure claims that the average maximum height a certain type of plant is 0.7 m.

This means that the null hypothesis is:

[tex]H_{0}: \mu = 0.7[/tex]

A gardener suspects that this estimate is not accurate locally due to soil conditions.

Hypothesis test to determine whether the population mean is different from 0.7m, which means that the alternate hypothesis is:

[tex]H_{a}: \mu \neq 0.7[/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.

0.7 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 0.7[/tex]

A random sample of 43 plants is taken. The mean height of the plants in the sample is 0.65m.

This means, respectively, that [tex]n = 43, X = 0.65[/tex]

Assume that the population standard deviation is 0.2 m.

This means that [tex]\sigma = 0.2[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

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

[tex]z = \frac{0.65 - 0.7}{\frac{0.2}{\sqrt{43}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = -1.64[/tex]

Pvalue of the test:

Since we are testing that the mean is different of a value, and z is negative, the pvalue of the test is 2 multiplied by the pvalue of z = -1.64

z = -1.64 has a pvalue of 0.0505

2*0.0505 = 0.101

Using a 1% level of significance, perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the population mean is different from 0.7m.

0.101 > 0.01, which means that we accept the null hypothesis, that is, that the population mean is not different from 0.7.

Two companies manufacture a rubber material intended for use in an automotive application. The part will be subjected to abrasive wear in the field application, so we decide to compare the material produced by each company in a test. Twenty-five samples of material from each company are tested in an abrasion test, and the amount of wear after 1000 cycles is observed. For company 1, the sample mean and standard deviation of wear are

xÌ… = 20 milligrams / 1000cycless
s1= 2 milligrams/1000cycles and for company 2, you obtain

xÌ… 2 = 15 milligrams /1000cycles

and
s2= 8 milligrams / 1000cycles

Required:
a. Do the data support the claim that the two companies produce material with different mean wear? Use α = 0.05, and assume that each population is normally distributed but that their variances are not equal. What is the P-value for this test?
b. Do the data support a claim that the material from company 1 has higher mean wear than the material from company 2? Use the same assumptions as in part (a).
c. Construct confidence intervals that will address the questions in parts (a) and (b) above.

Step-by-step explanation:

Due to the time it took to solve this question, I had little time to type the answers fully

The answers are contained fully in the attachment I have uploaded.

A. H0: u1 = u2

H1: u1 not equal to u2

The t statistics was solved to be 3.03

The degree of freedom was solved to be 26

Given this information, this is a 3 tailed test, critical value at 5% = +-2.056

T stat > critical value

We therefore reject the null hypothesis at 5% and conclude they have different mean wear

The p value is calculated using excel and the result is 0.00544

We reject null at 5% since p value is less than 0.05

B. H0: u1 = u2

H1: u1>u2

Alpha = 0.05

Following a,

Test stat = 3.03

Df = 26

Critical value for 1 tailed test = 1.706

Test stat > 1.706

We reject H0 and conclude company 1 has higher mean wear.

We find p value for a right tailed distribution using excel

Tdist(3.03,26,1)

= 0.002722

We reject h0

A heavy rope, 50 ft long, weighs 0.6 lb/ft and hangs over the edge of a building 120 ft high. Approximate the required work by a Riemann sum, then express the work as an integral and evaluate it.

Exercise (a)

How much work W is done in pulling the rope to the top of the building?

Exercise (b)

How much work W is done in pulling half the rope to the top of the building?

Answers

Answer:

Exercise (a)

The work done in pulling the rope to the top of the building is 750 lb·ft

Exercise (b)

The work done in pulling half the rope to the top of the building is 562.5 lb·ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Exercise (a)

The given parameters of the rope are;

The length of the rope = 50 ft.

The weight of the rope = 0.6 lb/ft.

The height of the building = 120 ft.

We have;

The work done in pulling a piece of the upper portion, ΔW₁ is given as follows;

ΔW₁ = 0.6Δx·x

The work done for the second half, ΔW₂, is given as follows;

ΔW₂ = 0.6Δx·x + 25×0.6 × 25 =  0.6Δx·x + 375

The total work done, W = W₁ + W₂ = 0.6Δx·x + 0.6Δx·x + 375

∴ We have;

W = [tex]2 \times \int\limits^{25}_0 {0.6 \cdot x} \, dx + 375= 2 \times \left[0.6 \cdot \dfrac{x^2}{2} \right]^{25}_0 + 375 = 750[/tex]

The work done in pulling the rope to the top of the building, W = 750 lb·ft

Exercise (b)

The work done in pulling half the rope is given by W₂ as follows;

[tex]W_2 = \int\limits^{25}_0 {0.6 \cdot x} \, dx + 375= \left[0.6 \cdot \dfrac{x^2}{2} \right]^{25}_0 + 375 = 562.5[/tex]

The work done in pulling half the rope, W₂ = 562.5 lb·ft

Answer:

63

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

117°

Step-by-step explanation: We know that the angles of a triangle have to equal 180°. We already know one angle (75°) and we can find the others. Vertical angles are congruents so the angle opposite 42° is also 42° So add 42 and 75 and you get 117. Keep in mind that all the angles have to equal 180 so 180-117 will get you the last angle measure. 180-117= 63. BUT that's not the answer because that is not x and it asks for x. So we know that a straight line also equals 180 that angle that we found that was 63 plus x should get us 180. To find that we do 180-63 and find that x=117° Hope this made sense!

Answer:

x = - 4, y = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x + 7y = - 19 → (1)

7x - 4y = - 24 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by 4 and (2) by 7 , then adding will eliminate the y- term

12x + 28y = - 76 → (3)

49x - 28y = - 168 → (4)

Add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate x

61x + 0 = - 244

61x = - 244 ( divide both sides by 61 )

x = - 4

Substitute x = - 4 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (1)

3(- 4) + 7y = - 19

- 12 + 7y = - 19 ( add 12 to both sides )

7y = - 7 ( divide both sides by 7 )

y = - 1
