Answer:

Yes, the lines intersect at (3,7). The solution is (3,7).

Explanation:

Step 1. The first line passes through the points:

(-7,2) and (1,6)

and the second line passes through the points:

(-3,-5) and (2,5)

Required: State if the lines intersect, and if so, find the solution.

Step 2. We need to find the slope of the lines.

Let m1 be the slope of the first line and m2 be the slope of the second line.

The formula to find a slope when given two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Using our two points for each line, their slopes are:

\begin{gathered} m_1=\frac{6-2}{1-(-7)} \\  \\ m_2=\frac{5-(-5)}{2-(-3)} \end{gathered}

The results are:

\begin{gathered} m_1=\frac{6-2}{1-(-7)}=\frac{4}{1+7}=\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2} \\  \\  \end{gathered}m_2=\frac{5+5}{2+3}=\frac{10}{5}=2

The slopes are not equal, this means that the lines are NOT parallel, and they will intersect at some point.

Step 3. To find the intersection point (the solution), we need to find the equation for the two lines.

Using the slope-point equation:

y=m(x-x_1)+y_1

Where m is the slope, and (x1,y1) is a point on the line.

For the first line m=1/2, and (x1,y1) is (-7,2). The equation is:

y=\frac{1}{2}(x-(-7))+2

Solving the operations:

\begin{gathered} y=\frac{1}{2}(x+7)+2 \\ \downarrow\downarrow \\ y=\frac{1}{2}x+7/2+2 \\ \downarrow\downarrow \\ y=\frac{1}{2}x+5.5 \end{gathered}

Step 4. We do the same for the second line. The slope is 2. and the point (x1,y1) is (-3, -5). The equation is:

\begin{gathered} y=2(x-(-3))-5 \\ \downarrow\downarrow \\ y=2x+6-5 \\ \downarrow\downarrow \\ y=2x+1 \end{gathered}

Step 5. The two equations are:

\begin{gathered} y=\frac{1}{2}x+5.5 \\ y=2x+1 \end{gathered}

Now we need to solve for x and y.

Step 6. Equal the two equations to each other:

\frac{1}{2}x+5.5=2x+1

And solve for x:

\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{2}x+5.5=2x+1 \\ \downarrow\downarrow \\ 5.5-1=2x-\frac{1}{2}x \\ \downarrow\downarrow \\ 4.5=1.5x \\ \downarrow\downarrow \\ \frac{4.5}{1.5}=x \\ \downarrow\downarrow \\ \boxed{3=x} \end{gathered}

Step 7. Use the second equation:

y=2x+1

and substitute the value of x to find the value of y:

\begin{gathered} y=2(3)+1 \\ \downarrow\downarrow \\ y=6+1 \\ \downarrow\downarrow \\ \boxed{y=7} \end{gathered}

The solution is x=3 and y=7, in the form (x,y) the solution is (3,7).

Answer:

Yes, the lines intersect at (3,7). The solution is (3,7).

Question 3 A study was performed to determine whether men and women differ in their repeatability in assembling components on pr
Fed [463]

Answer:

There is no sufficient evidence to support the claim that men and women differ in repeatability for this assembly task

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let subscript 1 represent men and 2 represent women, respectively.

n_1 = 25

n_2 = 21

s_1 = 0.98

s_2 = 1.02

\alpha = 0.02

Required

Determine if here is enough evidence

First, we need to state the hypotheses

H_o: \sigma_1^2 = \sigma_2^2

H_1: \sigma_1^2 \ne \sigma_2^2

Next, calculate the test statistic using:

F = \frac{s_1^2}{s_2^2}

F = \frac{0.98^2}{1.02^2}

F = 0.923

Calculate the rejection region;

But first, calculate the degrees of freedom

df_1 =n_1 - 1

df_1 =25 - 1

df_1 =24

df_2 = n_2 -1

df_2 = 21 - 1

df_2 = 20

Using the F Distribution:  table

c = \frac{\alpha}{2}

c = \frac{0.02}{2}

c = 0.01

At 0.01 level (check row 20 and column 24), the critical value is:

<em></em>f_{0.01,24,20} = 2.86<em> --- the upper bound</em>

At 0.01 level (check row 24 and column 20), the critical value is:

f_{0.01,20,24} = 2.74

Calculate the inverse F distribution.

f_{0.99,20,24} = \frac{1}{f_{0.01,20,24}} = \frac{1}{2.74} =0.365 ---- the lower bound

The rejection region is then represented as:

0.365 < Test\ Statistic < 2.86

If the test statistic falls within this region, then the null hypothesis is rejected

F = 0.923 --- Test Statistic

0.365 < 0.923 < 2.86

<em>The above inequality is true; so, the null hypothesis is rejected.</em>

<em>This implies that, there is no sufficient evidence.</em>

What will be the unit digit of the square of 7992​
Alina [70]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Here you need not completely solve 7992 squared. You can just take the last digit which in this case is 2 and solve for the square of that digit. 2 x 2 = 4. Now if it was a bigger digit which would result in a two digit number when squared you would take the last digit of that number. But, we don't need to do that here since 2 squared is 4.
