Answer:

  A:  -2

Step-by-step explanation:

You want some factor k such that k(5x) +(10x) = 0. That is, 5k+10 = 0. The solution to this is k=-2, corresponding to selection A.

k = -2 for sure

I normally multiply 5x+10y=15 by -2 to cancel out the x's.

This is because you can only solve the problem if one of your variables is canceled out and then you solve!

The LB Company has long manufactured a light bulb with an average life of 5400 hours. Company researchers have recently develope
elena55 [62]
<h2><u>Answer with explanation</u>:</h2>

Let \mu be the average life of light bulbs.

As per given , we have

Null hypothesis : H_0 : \mu =5400

Alternative hypothesis : H_a : \mu >5400

Since H_a is right-tailed and population standard deviation is also known, so we perform right-tailed z-test.

Formula for Test statistic : z=\dfrac{\overlien{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

where, n= sample size

\overline{x}= sample mean

\mu= Population mean

\sigma=population standard deviation

For n=95,\ \overline{x}=5483\ \&\ \sigma=500, we have

z=\dfrac{5483-5400}{\dfrac{500}{\sqrt{95}}}=1.61796786124\approx1.6180

Using z-value table , Critical one-tailed test value for 0.06 significance level :

z_{0.06}=1.5548

 Decision : Since critical z value (1.5548) < test statistic (1.6180), so we reject the null hypothesis .

[We reject the null hypothesis when critical value is less than the test statistic value .]

Conclusion : We have enough evidence at 0.06 significance level to support the claim that the new filament yields a longer bulb life
