Answer:

The calculated t-value is t=0.47.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete:

"Americans typically eat quickly and do not spend time enjoying their meal. A researcher plans to test if those trained in mindfulness will take more time to enjoy their meal (that is, they will spend more time eating than the general population). The general population spends an average of 68 minutes per day combined eating their three meals. The researcher trains a sample of 16 individuals in mindfulness and then collects data on how long they spend eating per day. The sample mean for those trained in mindfulness equals 74; the SS = 150. What is the calculated t-value? Round your answer to two decimal places."

The degrees of freedom are (n-1)=(16-1)=15

The standard deviation is:

$s=\sqrt{\frac{SS}{n-1}}=\sqrt{\frac{150}{16-1}}=\sqrt{10}=3.16$

The t-value can be calculated as:

$t=\frac{M-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}} =\frac{74-68}{3.16/\sqrt{16}} \\\\t=\frac{6}{3.16*4}=\frac{6}{12.64}= 0.47$

suppose a parabola has an axis of symmetry at x = -8, a maximum height of 2, and passes through the point (-7, -1). Write the eq

lesya [120]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = a(x - h)² + k - the vertex form of the quadratic function with vertex (h, k)

the axis of symmetry at x = -8 means h = -8

the maximum height of 2 means k = 2

So:

f(x) = a(x - (-8))² + 2

f(x) = a(x + 8)² + 2 - the vertex form of the quadratic function with vertex (-8, 2)

The parabola passing through the point (-7, -1) means that if x = -7 then f(x) = -1

so:

-1 = a(-7 + 8)² + 2

-1 -2 = a(1)² + 2 -2

-3 = a

Threfore:

The vertex form of the parabola which has an axis of symmetry at x = -8, a maximum height of 2, and passes through the point (-7, -1) is:

f(x) = -3(x + 8)² + 2

Last week, Max earned a total of $162 working at two jobs. He worked 6 hours at his grandfather's store and 10 hours at the loca

VMariaS [17]

The choices are missing but we can find the right equation from the given information

The equation that models this situation is 6 g + 10 m = 162

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

Max earned a total of $162 working at two jobs
He worked 6 hours at his grandfather's store
He worked 10 hours at the local movie theater
g represents the hourly rate paid by Max's grandfather, and m represents the hourly rate paid by the movie theater

We need to write an equation models this situation

∵ g represents the hourly rate paid by Max's grandfather

∵ He worked 6 hours at his grandfather's store

∴ He earned from his grandfather = 6 × g = 6 g dollars

∵ m represents the hourly rate paid by the movie theater

∵ He worked 10 hours at the local movie theater

∴ He earned from the local movie theater = 10 × m = 10 m dollars

Add 6 g and 10 m to find his total earning

∵ His total earning = 6 g + 10 m

∵ Max earned a total of $162

- Equate his total earning by 162

∴ 6 g + 10 m = 162
