Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the y- intercept let x = 0 in the function

g(0) = 0 - 0 - 84 = - 84 ← y- intercept

To find the x- intercepts let y = 0, that is

x² - 5x - 84 = 0

To factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 84) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

The factors are - 12 and + 7, since

- 12 × 7 = - 84 and - 12 + 7 = - 5, thus

(x - 12)(x + 7) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 12 = 0 ⇒ x = 12

x + 7 = 0 ⇒ x = - 7

x- intercepts are x = - 7 and x = 12

In 1990, 1000 adults were randomly selected and each was asked if they smoked, 300

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

The proportion of smokers was higher in 1990 than in 2000

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution

Recall that,

The total number of sample 1 (n1) = 1000

Total sample 2 number (n2) = 2000

The number of favourable events (X1) = 300

The number of favourable events (X2) = 500

so,

p₁ = X₁/n₁ = 300/1000 = 0.3

p₂ = X₂/n₂ =500/2000 =0.25

α = 0.05

We are interested in testing the hypothesis.

The hypothesis (Null) ....> H₀ : p₁ = p₂

Alternate hypothesis------ > H₁ : p₁ > p₂

Thus,

P = X₁ + X₂/ n₁ + n₂

P =300 + 500/1000 +2000

P =800/3000

=0.2667

Now,

Z₀ = P₁ - P₂/√ P (1 -P) (1/n₁ + 1/n₂)

Z₀ = 0.3 - 0.25/√0.2667 (1 - 0.2667) (1/1000 + 1/2000)

Z₀ = 0.4999999999999999/√ 0.2667 (0.7333000000000001) (0.001 +0.0005)

Then,

Z₀ = 0.4999999999999999/√0.00029335666500000004

Z₀ = 2.9193

so,

zα/2 = z0.05/2 =z0.025

zα/2 = 1.6448536269514722

Now, we apply the decision rule:

Decision Rule: Reject the null hypothesis if the statistic value test is higher than the critical value 1.6448536269514722

The statistic value, 2.9193 is greater than the critical value 1.6448536269514722, then we will reject the null hypothesis.

Therefore, the proportion of smokers was higher in 1990 than in 2000

Suppose you pick two cards from a deck of 52 playing cards. What is the probability that they are both queens?

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

0.45% probability that they are both queens.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes

The combinations formula is important in this problem:

$C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

Desired outcomes

You want 2 queens. Four cards are queens. I am going to call then A,B,C,D. A and B is the same outcome as B and A. That is, the order is not important, so this is why we use the combinations formula.

The number of desired outcomes is a combinations of 2 cards from a set of 4(queens). So

$D = C_{4,2} = \frac{4!}{2!(4-2)!} = 6$

Total outcomes

Combinations of 2 from a set of 52(number of playing cards). So

$T = C_{52,2} = \frac{52!}{2!(52-2)!} = 1326$

What is the probability that they are both queens?

$P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{6}{1326} = 0.0045$

0.45% probability that they are both queens.

What is the greatest common factor of 65 and 91

Sedbober [7]

So,

First, we find the prime factored form (P.F.F.) of 65 and 91.

P.F.F. of 65: 5 * 13

P.F.F. of 91: 7 * 13

Find the common numbers
13

13 = G.C.F.

Note: This method works for finding any G.C.F. (find common primes)
