Determine the intercepts of the line. 7x-5=4y-67x−5=4y−67, x, minus, 5, equals, 4, y, minus, 6 xxx-intercept: \Big((left parenth

sesenic [268]

Given:

The equation of line is

$7x-5=4y-6$

To find:

The x and y-intercept of the given line.

Solution:

We have,

$7x-5=4y-6$

Putting x=0, we get

$7(0)-5=4y-6$

Add 6 on both sides.

$0-5+6=4y$

$1=4y$

Divide both sides by 4.

$\dfrac{1}{4}=y$

So, the y-intercept is $\left(0,\dfrac{1}{4}\right)$ .

Putting y=0 in given equation, we get

$7x-5=4(0)-6$

Add 5 on both sides.

$7x=-6+5$

$7x=-1$

Divide both sides by 7.

$x=\dfrac{-1}{7}$

So, the x-intercept is $\left(-\dfrac{1}{7},0\right)$ .

An insurance company sets up a statistical test with a null hypothesis that the average time for processing a claim is 7 days, a

Answer:

There was no error

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two types of statistical errors, the type 1 error and the type 2 error. In this case we refute the null hypothesis when the hypothesis is, in fact, false, because the mean process is 9 days instead of 7. Therefore we made no errors.

If the null hypothesis were True, a type 1 error would have ocurred. If the null hypothesis were false and we didnt refute it, then a type 2 error would have ocurred.
