Use the indicated x-values on the graph of y = f(x) to find the following.

What interval notation represents the data graphed below?

Aliun [14]

Answer: Choice D

$(-\infty, -2) \cup [4, \infty)$

=====================================================

Explanation:

The left portion is the interval (-∞, -2)

This is a shorthand way of saying $-\infty < x < -2$

The curved parenthesis says "do not include this endpoint as part of the solution set". Note the open hole at x = -2 in the diagram.

In contrast, the value x = 4 is included (due to the filled in circle), so we use a square bracket for this endpoint. Therefore, the right-hand portion is represented by [4, ∞) which translates to $4 \le x < \infty$

Negative and positive infinity will always use a parenthesis, and never a square bracket. This is because we can only approach infinity but never reach it, so we cannot include it as an endpoint.

All of this builds up to the full interval notation to be $(-\infty, -2) \cup [4, \infty)$

The only square bracket is near the 4; everything else is a curved parenthesis. This is why choice D is the final answer.

Polymer composite materials have gained popularity because they have high strength to weight ratios and are relatively easy and

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

$t=\frac{51.6-48}{\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{10}}}=10.349$

$p_v =P(t_9>10.349)=1.34x10^{-6}$

If we compare the p value and the significance level given for example $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v$ so we can conclude that we reject the null hypothesis, and the the actual mean is significantly higher than 48 MPa at 5% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

$\bar X=51.6$ represent the sample mean

$s=1.1$ represent the standard deviation for the sample

$n=10$ sample size

$\mu_o =48$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to determine if the mean score is higher than 48, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu \geq 48$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu > 48$

We don't know the population deviation, so for this case is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$t=\frac{51.6-48}{\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{10}}}=10.349$

Calculate the P-value

First we find the degrees of freedom:

$df=n-1=10-1=9$

Since is a one-side upper test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(t_9>10.349)=1.34x10^{-6}$

Conclusion

If we compare the p value and the significance level given for example $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v$ so we can conclude that we reject the null hypothesis, and the the actual mean is significantly higher than 48 MPa at 5% of significance.

write a equation in slope-intercept form for the line that is parallel to y=2x-8 and passes through the point(1,5).

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

y = 2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x - 8 passes through ( 1,5 )

y = 2x + 3 is parallel to y = 2x - 8 because it has the same m( 2x)

and it also passes through ( 1, 5 )

An initial deposit of $7,000 earns 6.5% interest, compounded monthly. How

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

$34,300

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find how much interest is earned in one month : 7,000 * 6.5% = 455

455 is how much you gain monthly, multiply that by 12 to find the annual interest so 455 * 12 = 5,460

You then multiply that number by 5 to find the interest of the span of the 5 years

5,460 * 5 = 27,300

You add the original number to the interest with 27,300 + 7,000 = 34,300 in the account
