Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of this equation tells us it is a downward-opening parabola with its vertex at (-7, -3). The line of symmetry is the vertical line through the vertex: x = -7.

___

Vertex form is ...

y = a(x -h) +k

where a is the vertical expansion factor, and (h, k) is the vertex. When a < 0, the parabola opens downward. When a > 0, it opens upward. (When a=0, the "parabola" is a horizontal line at y=k.)

Suppose the line of best fit for some data points has a slope of 1.885. If the mean of the x-coordinates of the data points is 3

larisa86 [58]

Step-by-step Answer:

One of the properties of a least-squares regression line (line of best fit) is that the line always passes through the point (xbar, ybar).

Assuming the given "line of best fit" is a least-squares line, then we are given

a slope m=1.885 passing through (x0,y0)=(3.448,12.318).

Applying the standard point-slope formula:

(y-y0) = m (x-x0)

we get

y-12.318 = 1.885(x-3.448)

Expand and simplify,

y=1.885x -1.885*3.448 + 12.318, or

y=1.885(x) + 5.81852

(numbers to be rounded as precision dictates).

The question is in the picture.

Let's denote no of seats in first row with r1 , second row with r2.....and so on.

r1=5

Since next row will have 10 additional row each time when we move to next row,

So,

r2=5+10=15

r3=15+10=25

<u>Using the terms r1,r2 and r3 , we can find explicit formula</u>

r1=5=5+0=5+0×10=5+(1-1)×10

r2=15=5+10=5+(2-1)×10

r3=25=5+20=5+(3-1)×10

<u>So for nth row,</u>

rn=5+(n-1)×10

Since 5=r1 and 10=common difference (d)

rn=r1+(n-1)d

Since 'a' is a convention term for 1st term,

which is an explicit formula to find no of seats in any given row.

Using above explicit formula, we can calculate no of seats in 7th row,

r7=5+(7-1)×10

r7=5+(7-1)×10 =5+6×10

r7=5+(7-1)×10 =5+6×10 =65

which is the no of seats in 7th row.

A particular brand of tires claims that its deluxe tire averages at least 50,000 miles before it needs to be replaced. From past

Answer: We reject the null hypothesis, and we use Normal distribution for the test.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

We claim that

Null hypothesis : $H_0:\mu\geq 50000$

Alternate hypothesis : $H_1:\mu$

There is 5% level of significance.

$\bar{X}=46800\\\\\sigma=9800\\\\n=29$

So, the test statistic would be

$z=\dfrac{\bar{X}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}\\\\z=\dfrac{46800-50000}{\dfrac{9800}{\sqrt{29}}}\\\\z=-1.75$

Since alternate hypothesis is left tailed test.

So, p-value = P(z≤-2.31)=0.0401

And the P-value =0.0401 is less than the given level of significance i.e. 5% 0.05.

So, we reject the null hypothesis, and we use Normal distribution for the test.
