The answer is A. m=1/3 and b=-7.

y=1/3x-7 is in slope intercept form (y=mx+b). m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept.

Answer:

$m=\frac{1}{3}$ and $b=-7$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for slope-intercept form is $y=mx+b$

so...

and

$m=\frac{1}{3}$ and $b=-7$

Answer:

(A) The mean for the differences is 2.0.

(B) The test statistic is 1.617.

(C) At 90% confidence the null hypothesis should not be rejected.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a random sample of eight cars from each manufacturer is selected, and eight drivers are selected to drive each automobile for a specified distance.

The following data (in miles per gallon) show the results of the test;

Driver Manufacturer A Manufacturer B

1 32 28

2 27 22

3 26 27

4 26 24

5 25 24

6 29 25

7 31 28

8 25 27

Let $\mu_1$ = mean MPG for the fuel efficiency of Manufacturer A brand

$\mu_2$ = mean MPG for the fuel efficiency of Manufacturer B brand

SO, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $\mu_1-\mu_2=0$ or $\mu_1= \mu_2$ {means that there is a not any significant difference in the mean MPG (miles per gallon) when testing for the fuel efficiency of these two brands of automobiles}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : $\mu_1-\mu_2\neq 0$ or $\mu_1\neq \mu_2$ {means that there is a significant difference in the mean MPG (miles per gallon) for the fuel efficiency of these two brands of automobiles}

The test statistics that will be used here is <u>Two-sample t test statistics</u> as we don't know about the population standard deviations;

T.S. = $\frac{(\bar X_1-\bar X_2)-(\mu_1-\mu_2)}{s_p\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2} } }$ ~ $t__n__1+_n__2-2$

where, $\bar X_1$ = sample mean MPG for manufacturer A = $\frac{\sum X_A}{n_A}$ = 27.625

$\bar X_2$ = sample mean MPG for manufacturer B = $\frac{\sum X_B}{n_B}$ = 25.625

$s_1$ = sample standard deviation for manufacturer A = $\sqrt{\frac{\sum (X_A-\bar X_A)^{2} }{n_A-1} }$ = 2.72

$s_2$ = sample standard deviation manufacturer B = $\sqrt{\frac{\sum (X_B-\bar X_B)^{2} }{n_B-1} }$ = 2.20

$n_1$ = sample of cars selected from manufacturer A = 8

$n_2$ = sample of cars selected from manufacturer B = 8

Also, $s_p=\sqrt{\frac{(n_1-1)s_1^{2}+(n_2-1)s_2^{2} }{n_1+n_2-2} }$ = $\sqrt{\frac{(8-1)\times 2.72^{2}+(8-1)\times 2.20^{2} }{8+8-2} }$ = 2.474

(A) The mean for the differences is = 27.625 - 25.625 = 2

(B) <u><em>The test statistics</em></u> = $\frac{(27.625-25.625)-(0)}{2.474 \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{8} } }$ ~ $t_1_4$

= 1.617

(C) Now at 10% significance level, the t table gives critical values between -1.761 and 1.761 at 14 degree of freedom for two-tailed test. Since our test statistics lies within the range of critical values of t, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which <u>we fail to reject our null hypothesis</u>.

Therefore, we conclude that there is a not any significant difference in the mean MPG (miles per gallon) when testing for the fuel efficiency of these two brands of automobiles.

A construction firm is trying to decide which of two models of a crane to purchase. Model A costs $90,000 and requires $4,000 pe

liraira [26]

Let's say hmm let's use the figures in thousands, so
model A costs 90 + 4 per year, so... ok.. after "t" years, then the cost for model A is then 90 + 4*t, or A = 90 + 4t.

now, model B is 70 + 10 per year, so,... after "t" years, model B is then
B = 70 + 10 * t, or B = 70 + 10t.

if we were to assume A < B, namely the cost of A is less than B, what would the years be? namely, what's "t"?

$\bf A\ \textless \ B\implies 90+4t \ \textless \ 70 + 10t\implies 90-70 \ \textless \ 10t-4t
\\\\\\
20 \ \textless \ 6t\implies \cfrac{20}{6}\ \textless \ t\implies \cfrac{10}{3}\ \textless \ t\implies 3\frac{1}{3}\ \textless \ t
\\\\\\
\textit{3 years and }\frac{1}{3}\textit{ or \underline{3 years and 4 months}}$

after that period, then A becomes cheaper than B.

Triangles G H L and K H J are connected at point H. Angles Angles L G H and H K J are congruent. Sides G H and H K are congruent

stira [4]

The congruence theorem that can be used is: B. ASA

<h3>What is the ASA Congruence Theorem?</h3>

If we have two triangles that have two pairs of corresponding congruent angles (e.g. ∠LGH ≅ ∠HKJ and ∠LHG ≅ ∠KHJ), and a pair of corresponding congruent sides (e.g. GH ≅ HK), the triangles are said to be congruent triangles by the ASA congruence theorem.

Therefore, triangles GHL and KHL in the image given are congruent triangles by the ASA congruence theorem.
