Why does dividing 5 by a decimal less than 1 give a quotient greater than 5

1 answer:

5 0

If you divide by a decimal, you are breaking apart 1 into multiple pieces and so you are trying to find how many of that size piece will fit into 5. For example if you divide by .5 (point five), there are 2 point fives in 1 so there are 10 point fives in 5. The quotient is larger.

I hope you got that...

katrin2010 [14]

Answer: $H_0:\mu=120$

$H_A:\mu\neq120$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $\mu$ denotes the average braking distance for a population of small car.

Given : It is advertised that the average braking distance for a small car traveling at 65 miles per hour equals 120 feet.

i.e. $\mu=120$

Objective of test : Whether the statement made in the advertisement is false

i.e. $\mu\neq120$

Since '=' signs is contained by Null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis is against it.

So the null and the alternative hypotheses for the test will be:

$H_0:\mu=120$

$H_A:\mu\neq120$

Write the equation of the line in fully simplified slope-intercept form.

iren2701 [21]

Y=Mx+b

Rise / run between any two points = slope (m)
Where the line crosses the y axis is (yint) (b)

Slope is -1/2
Yint = -8

So the equation is y=(-1/2)x - 8
