Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

4 x 15 = 60

-4 x 5 = - 20

-1 x 5 = -5

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

The proportion of college students who work year-round is 58%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The claim made by the education researcher is that 58% of college students work year-round.

A random sample of 400 college students, 232 say they work year-round.

To test the researcher's claim use a one-proportion z-test.

The hypothesis can be defined as follows:

H₀: The proportion of college students who work year-round is 58%, i.e. p = 0.58.

Hₐ: The proportion of college students who work year-round is 58%, i.e. p ≠ 0.58. C

Compute the sample proportion as follows:

$\hat p=\frac{232}{400}=0.58$

Compute the test statistic value as follows:

$z=\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}=\frac{0.58-0.58}{\sqrt{\frac{0.58(1-0.58)}{400}}}=0$

The test statistic value is 0.

Decision rule:

If the p-value of the test is less than the significance level then the null hypothesis will be rejected.

Compute the p-value for the two-tailed test as follows:

$p-value=2\times P(z$

*Use a z-table for the probability.

The p-value of the test is 1.

The p-value of the test is very large when compared to the significance level.

The null hypothesis will not be rejected.

Thus, it can be concluded that the proportion of college students who work year-round is 58%.

Please help thank youu

Y results from something being multiplied by x , and the values are always proportional to one another. Notice that putting these points into a ratio of x-value to y-value results in 1:3 as a simplified version. So, the constant of proportionality is what x is being multiplied by to get y . In this case, it is 3 . PLEASE MARK A THE BRAIN THINGY

I don’t really get this question so if anyone knows it please help

Answer:

$116.82\:\text{square inches}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The window consists of a large square and 4 smaller triangles on the outside. The side length of this square is marked as 10, and therefore the area of this square is $10^2=100\:\mathrm{in^2}$ .

The area of a triangle is given by $\frac{1}{2}\cdot b\cdot h$ . Since the problem states that the overlapping squares are congruent, both legs of the triangle will be $2.9$ and intersect at a $90^{\circ}$ angle.
