Remember that science uses vectors to describe anything that has both a direction and a magnitude (size or quantity). These are drawn as pointed arrows, which length represents the magnitude. They are very used to locate persons or objects as the final direction can be predicted using a reference point, an stimated speed and direction. Vectors are also usefull to predict what would happen if two objects come into contact, an example would be predicting the movement of billiard balls, or calculating the trajectory of a golf ball.

Answer:

No real roots

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

7x² + 5x + 1 = 0 ← in standard form

with a = 7, b = 5, c = 1

To determine the nature of the roots use the discriminant

Δ = b² - 4ac

• If b² - 4ac > 0 then roots are real and distinct

• If b² - 4ac = 0 then roots are real and equal

• If b² - 4ac < 0 then the roots are not real

Here

b² - 4ac = 5² - (4 × 7 × 1) = 25 - 28 = - 3

Thus the 2 roots are not real

The claim that 40% of those persons who retired from an industrial job before the age of 60 would return to work if a suitable j

Bad White [126]

Answer:

The p-value of the test is of 0.1922 > 0.02, which means that there is not significant evidence to reject the null hypothesis, that is, there is not significant evidence to conclude that the proportion is of less than 40%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Test if the proportion is less than 40%:

At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion is of at least 0.4, that is:

$H_0: p \geq 0.4$

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the proportion is of less than 0.4, that is:

$H_1: p < 0.4$

The test statistic is:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

In which X is the sample mean, $\mu$ is the value tested at the null hypothesis, $\sigma$ is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.4 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that $\mu = 0.4, \sigma = \sqrt{0.4*0.6}$

74 out of the 200 workers sampled said they would return to work

This means that $n = 200, X = \frac{74}{200} = 0.37$

Value of the test statistic:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$z = \frac{0.37 - 0.4}{\frac{\sqrt{0.4*0.6}}{\sqrt{200}}}$

$z = -0.87$

P-value of the test and decision:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample proportion below 0.37, which is the p-value of z = -0.87.

Looking at the z-table, z = -0.87 has a p-value of 0.1922.

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

The equation is 0.11x + 0.25 = 0.15x (I think) and the answer is 6.25 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

0.11x + 0.25 = 0.15x Subtract 0.11x from both sides

-0.11x -0.11x

0.25 = 0.04x Divide both sides by 0.04

6.25 = x

N x 50 = 5,000. Explain your solution

prohojiy [21]

In order to figure out what N is you have to isolate it by dividing by 50 on both sides as shown below:
$N*50=5000\\\frac{n*50}{50}=\frac{5000}{50}\\n=100$
