$\triangle RQT\ \text{and}\ \triangle SRT\ \text{are similar. Therefore the sides are in proportion.}\\\\\dfrac{RT}{TQ}=\dfrac{TS}{RT}\\\\\text{We have}\ RT=x,\ TQ=16,\ TS=9.\ \text{Substitute:}\\\\\dfrac{x}{16}=\dfrac{9}{x}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\x^2=(9)(16)\\\\x^2=144\to x=\sqrt{144}\\\\\boxed{x=12}$

A manufacturer produces light bulbs that have a mean life of at least 500 hours when the production process is working properly.

denpristay [2]

Answer:

We conclude that the population mean light bulb life is at least 500 hours at the significance level of 0.01.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a manufacturer produces light bulbs that have a mean life of at least 500 hours when the production process is working properly. The population standard deviation is 50 hours and the light bulb life is normally distributed.

You select a sample of 100 light bulbs and find mean bulb life is 490 hours.

Let $\mu$ = population mean light bulb life.

So, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $\mu \geq$ 500 hours {means that the population mean light bulb life is at least 500 hours}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : $\mu$ < 500 hours {means that the population mean light bulb life is below 500 hours}

The test statistics that would be used here One-sample z test statistics as we know about the population standard deviation;

T.S. = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\bar X$ = sample mean bulb life = 490 hours

σ = population standard deviation = 50 hours

n = sample of light bulbs = 100

So, the test statistics = $\frac{490-500}{\frac{50}{\sqrt{100} } }$

= -2

The value of z test statistics is -2.

Now, at 0.01 significance level the z table gives critical value of -2.33 for left-tailed test.

Since our test statistic is higher than the critical value of z as -2 > -2.33, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which we fail to reject our null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that the population mean light bulb life is at least 500 hours.

A video game system and several games are sold for $500. The cost of the game is 3 times as much as the cost of the system . Fin

Shalnov [3]

We have to start by creating an equation.

Cost of System = x
Cost of games = 3x

Thus x + 3x = $500

Now we find x.

4x = 500,
x = 500/4 = 125

So the system is 125,
The games, 125*3 = 375

Slope is –2 & (5, 3) is on the line. Y-Intercept: Equation of the line (no spaces):

insens350 [35]

Answer:

y-int: (0, 13)

Equation: y = -2x + 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

m = slope

b = y-intercept

Step 1: Define variables

m = -2

Random point (5, 3)

Step 2: Plug in known variables

y = -2x + b

Step 3: Find y-intercept b

3 = -2(5) + b

3 = -10 + b

b = 13

Step 4: Rewrite equation

y = -2x + 13
