Let's plug in a few points to see which graph belongs to the function f(x) = 2x^2

Let's say x =0, let's find y!
2(0)^2 = 2(0) = 0

So one point on our line is (0.0)

Just finding this point right here eliminates 3 of the answer choices. Your answer is the graph that goes through the point (0,0)

For your added convenience, I have attached the graph. :)

Determine the slope of the line that has the following coordinates: (-3, 6) (4,-2)

fiasKO [112]

Answer: $m=-\frac{8}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the slope of the line that has the coordinates given in the problem you must use the formula shown below:

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

Given the points (-3, 6) (4,-2), when you substitute them into the eequation shown above, you obtain that the slope is the following:

$m=\frac{-2-6}{4-(-3)}\\m=-\frac{8}{7}$

In Major League Baseball, the American League (AL) allows a designated hitter (DH) to bat in place of the pitcher, but in the Na

hammer [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Let:

$\mu_1$ represent the population mean no. for DH group.

$\mu_2$ represent the population mean no. for no DH group

$n_1$ represent the sample sizes of DH

$n_2$ represent the sample sizes of no DH

Sample size: $n_1 = n_2 = 20$

For both groups, the population standard deviation of runs scored = 2.54

i.e

$\sigma^2_1 = \sigma_2^2 = 2.54$

The null & alternative hypothesis;

$H_o : \mu_1 \le \mu_2 \\ \\ H_a: \mu_1 > \mu_2$

Level of significance:

The test statistics is:

$z = \dfrac{\bar x_1 - \bar x_2}{\sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma^2_1}{n_1} + \dfrac{\sigma_2^2}{n_2} }}$

where;

$\bar x_1$ = sample mean for DH group

$\implies \dfrac{1}{n_1} \sum \limit ^{n_1}_{i=1} x_1 \\ \\ = \dfrac{1}{20}(0+6+8+2+2+4+7+7+6+5+1+1+5+4+4+5+7+11+10+0) \\ \\ = \dfrac{92}{20}$

= 4.6

$\bar x_2$ = sample mean for no DH group

$\implies \dfrac{1}{n_2} \sum \limit ^{n_1}_{i=1} x_1 \\ \\ = \dfrac{1}{20}(3+6+2+4+0+5+7+6+1+8+12+4+6+3+4+0+5+2+1+4) \\ \\ = \dfrac{83}{20}$

= 4.15

Now:

$z = \dfrac{4.60- 4.15}{\sqrt{\dfrac{2.54^2}{20} + \dfrac{2.54^2}{20} }} \\ \\ = \dfrac{0.45}{\sqrt{0.32258 +0.32258 }} \\ \\ = \dfrac{0.45}{0.803219} \\ \\$

= 0.5602

Since the test is one-tailed by looking at that $H_a:$

The P-value = $P(Z > z)$

$\implies 1 - P(Z \le z) \\ \\ = 1 - P(Z \le 0.5602)$

Using Excel Function " =normdist(z)"; we have":

$= 1- 0.7123$

P-value = 0.2877

Decision rule: To reject $H_o$ , if $p-value < \alpha \ at \ 0.10$

Conclusion: SInce P = 0.2877 which is $> \ \alpha \ at \ 0.10.$

We fail to reject the $H_o$ and conclude that there is insufficient evidence to support the given claim that: $\text{more runs are scored in games for which DH is used.}$
