Answer:

They are perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem .

we will convert the equations in slope intercept form.

Slope intercept form of equation is y = mx+c

where m is slope of line and c is y intercept.

________________________________

equation 1 is

2x+y = 4

=> y =4 - 2x or y = -2x + 4

comparing it with y = mx + c

m = -2 , c = 4

_________________________________________

equation 2 is y = one halfx + 4 ( one half is same as 1/2)

so equation is

y = x/2 +4

comparing it with y = mx + c

m = 1/2 , c = 4

_________________________________________

Now lets evaluate options

They are parallel. wrong option

For lines to be parallel slope should be same.

But here slope are different -2 and 1/2 .

Thus lines are not parallel.

__________________________________________

They are perpendicular. correct option

For lines to be perpendicular, product of slope should be equal to -1.

-2*1/2 = -1

we can see that product of slope should be equal to -1 .

Thus lines are perpendicular

______________________________________

They are the same line. wrong option

For lines to be same both slope and y intercept should be same.

Y intercept is same but the slopes are different -2 and 1/2 .

Thus lines are not the same line.

__________________________________________

They are not related. wrong option

As we have found that the lines are perpendicular .

So this option is intuitively wrong

Answer:

$x=8$

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is

Quadrilateral DEFG is congruent with Quadrilateral SPQR

Solve for x

we know that

If two figures are congruent, then its corresponding sides and its corresponding angles are congruent

we have that

GF and RQ are corresponding sides

RQ=GF

substitute the given values

$2x-4=12$

solve for x

adds 4 both sides

$2x=12+4$

$2x=16$

divide by 2 both sides

$x=8$

Answer:

a) Null hypothesis: $\mu \leq 40000$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu > 40000$

b) $t=\frac{41182-40000}{\frac{19990}{\sqrt{1700}}}=2.438$

c) The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:

$df=n-1=1700-1=1699$

Since the sample size is large enough we cna use the z distribution as an approximation for the statsitic on this case.

Since is a one right tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(t_{(1699)}>2.438)=0.0074$

d) If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.01$ we see that $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 1% of signficance. So we can conclude that the true mean is higher than 40000 at the significance level assumed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

$\bar X=41182$ represent the sample mean

$s=19990$ represent the sample standard deviation

$n=1700$ sample size

$\mu_o =40000$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.01$ 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)

Part a: State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is greater than 40000, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu \leq 40000$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu > 40000$

If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 but we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (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".

Part b: Calculate the statistic

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

$t=\frac{41182-40000}{\frac{19990}{\sqrt{1700}}}=2.438$

Part c: P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:

$df=n-1=1700-1=1699$

Since the sample size is large enough we cna use the z distribution as an approximation for the statsitic on this case.

Since is a one right tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(t_{(1699)}>2.438)=0.0074$

Part d: Conclusion

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.01$ we see that $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 1% of signficance. So we can conclude that the true mean is higher than 40000 at the significance level assumed.
