Roland was driving to campus but realized that his car is out of gas. He started driving around Syracuse looking for a gas stati

on and comparing their gas prices, searching for the cheapest one. He drove by 50 different gas stations. He computed their average gas price to be $2.74 per gallon. Last year around the same time in November, the average gas price in the entire of Syracuse was $2.68 per gallon with the standard deviation of $0.11. Let's assume that the standard deviation hasn't changed since last year. Roland called his mom: Roland: "Mom, did you know that average gas prices have gone up since the same time last year?" Mom: "Are you sure, Roland?" Roland: "Yes, mom, 95% sure." Mom: "I don't think you're right." Who is right? Mom is right Roland is right

Answer:

Roland is right, he can be 95% sure that average gas prices have gone up since the same time last year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let μ be average gas price around Syracuse.

Then hypotheses are:

H_{0}: μ = $2.68

H_{a}: μ > $2.68

Then test statistic can be calculated as:

z=\frac{X-M}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{N} } } where

  • X  is the Roland's calculated average gas prices of 50 gas stations ($2.74)
  • M is the average average gas prices in the entire of Syracuse last year
  • s is the standard deviation ($0.11)
  • N is the sample size(50)

Then z=\frac{2.74-2.68}{\frac{0.11}{\sqrt{50} } } ≈ 3.86

Since P-value of test statistic ≈ 0.00006 <0.05  (significance level), we can reject the null hypothesis.

5x >= 15  

 x >= 3

or

-3x + 1 > 13

-3x > 12

  x < -4

Answer

x <- 4 or x >= 3


Part C:

1) This is a conjunction (And)

At an amusement park, Alexa gets a $15 prepaid charge card, and she spends $1.50 for each ride. Write an equation that shows how
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

f(x) = 1.50x - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Worth of prepaid charge card = $15

Cost per ride = $1.50

Amount after each ride :

In solpe - intercept form:

Cost per ride = slope = 1.50

Intercept = $15

Amount left after each ride, f(x)

Number of ride, x

f(x) = 1.50x - 15

PLEASE HELP I WILL GIVE OUT BRAINLIST
Viktor [21]

Answer:

x = 17

<2 = 121

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that angle 1 and angle 3 form a linear pair, which means they add to 180

7x+2 + 3x+8 = 180

Combine like terms

10x+ 10 = 180

Subtract 10 from each side

10x+10-10 = 180-10

10x = 170

Divide by 10

10x/10 =170/10

x = 17

Angle 1 and angle 2 are vertical angles and vertical angles are equal

<1 = <2 = 7x+2 = 7(17) +2 =119+2=121
