Given that E is a point between Point D and F, the numerical value of segment DE is 46.

<h3>What is the numerical value of DE?</h3>

Given the data in the question;

  • E is a point between point D and F.
  • Segment DF = 78
  • Segment DE = 5x - 9
  • Segment EF = 2x + 10
  • Numerical value of DE = ?

Since E is a point between point D and F.

Segment DF = Segment DE + Segment EF

78 = 5x - 9 + 2x + 10

78 = 7x + 1

7x = 78 - 1

7x = 77

x = 77/7

x = 11

Hence,

Segment DE = 5x - 9

Segment DE = 5(11) - 9

Segment DE = 55 - 9

Segment DE = 46

Given that E is a point between Point D and F, the numerical value of segment DE is 46.

Suppose the probability of an irs audit is 2.8 percent for U.S. taxpayers who file form 1040 and who earn 100,000 or more. What
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

So, the odds that a taxpayer would be audited 28 to 972 or 2.88%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let P(A) = Probability of irs auditing

P(A) = 2.8%

Let n = number of those who earn above 100,000

To get the odds that taxpayer would be audited, we need to first calculated the proportion of those that will be audited and those that won't.

If the probability is 2.8% then 2.8 out of 100 will be audited. That doesn't make a lot of sense since you can't have 2.8 people; we multiply the by 10/10

i.e.

Proportion, P = 2.8/100 * 10/10

P = 28/1000

The proportion of those that would not be audited is calculated as follows;

Q = 1000 - P

By substituton

Q = 1000 - 28

Q = 972

So, the odds that a taxpayer would be audited 28 to 972 or P/Q

P/Q = 28/972

= 0.0288065844

= 2.88% --- Approximately

What is the limit as x is approaching 0 of the absolute value of x
vesna_86 [32]
Recall that, an absolute value expression is a piece-wise in effect, thus we'd check the single-sided limits,

\bf \lim\limits_{x\to 0}~|x|\implies &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;\lim\limits_{x\to 0^-}~-x\\\\&#10;\lim\limits_{x\to 0^+}~+x&#10;\end{cases}\implies &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;0\\\\&#10;0&#10;\end{cases}\implies \lim\limits_{x\to 0}~|x|=0

The weights of 67 randomly selected axles were found to have a variance of 3.85. Construct the 80% confidence interval for the p
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

3.13

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 67

Variance = 3.85

We have to find 80% confidence interval for the population variance of the weights.

Degree of freedom = 67 - 1 = 66

Level of significance = 0.2

Chi square critical value for lower tail =

\chi^2_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}}= 51.770

Chi square critical value for upper tail =

\chi^2_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}= 81.085

80% confidence interval:

\dfrac{(n-1)S^2}{\chi^2_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}} < \sigma^2 < \dfrac{(n-1)S^2}{\chi^2_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}}}

Putting values, we get,

=\dfrac{(67-1)3.85}{81.085} < \sigma^2 < \dfrac{(67-1)3.85}{51.770}\\\\=3.13

Thus, (3.13,4.91) is the required 80% confidence interval for the population variance of the weights.
