In this problem we need to find the value of a and b. So given that the function should be in the form f(n) = an + b and we know each value of n, then out goal is to find a and b.

For getting this purpose, we need to find a system of two equations (given that we have two unknown variables)

Therefore:

(1) f(0) = a(1) + b = 18
∴ a + b = 18

(2) f(1) = a(2) + b = 24
∴ 2a + b = 24

Solving for a and b we have:

a = 6
b = 12

Finally:

f(n) = 6n + 12

For the hypothesis test H0: μ = 10 against H1: μ >10 and variance known, calculate the Pvalue for each of the following test

Basile [38]

Answer:

a) $p_v =P(Z>2.05)=1-P(z$

b) $p_v =P(Z>-1.84)=1-P(z$

c) $p_v =P(Z>0.4)=1-P(z$

Step-by-step explanation:

Some previous concepts

The p-value is the probability of obtaining the observed results of a test, assuming that the null hypothesis is correct.

A z-test for one mean "is a hypothesis test that attempts to make a claim about the population mean(μ)".

The null hypothesis attempts "to show that no variation exists between variables or that a single variable is no different than its mean"

The alternative hypothesis "is the hypothesis used in hypothesis testing that is contrary to the null hypothesis"

Hypothesis

Null hypothesis: $\mu=10$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu >10$

If the random variable is distributed like this: $X \sim N(\mu,\sigma)$

We assume that the variance is known so the correct test to apply here is the z test to compare means, the statistic is given by the following formula:

$z_o=\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\sigma}$

Since we have the values for the statistic already calculated we can calculate the p value using the following formulas:

Part a

$p_v =P(Z>2.05)=1-P(z$

And in order to find the answer using excel we can use the following code:

"=1-NORM.DIST(2.05,0,1,TRUE)"

Part b

$p_v =P(Z>-1.84)=1-P(z$

And in order to find the answer using excel we can use the following code:

"=1-NORM.DIST(-1.84,0,1,TRUE)"

Part c

$p_v =P(Z>0.4)=1-P(z$

And in order to find the answer using excel we can use the following code:

"=1-NORM.DIST(0.4,0,1,TRUE)"

Conclusions

If we use a reference value for the significance, let's say $\alpha=0.05$ . For part a the $p_v$ so then we can reject the null hypothesis at this significance level.

For part b the $p_v>\alpha$ so then we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis at this significance level.

For part c the $p_v>\alpha$ so again we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis at this significance level.

Indicate the answer choice that best completes the statement or answers

zysi [14]

Answer:

Option D. y = 5x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were:

Input (x) >>>>>> Output (y)

0 >>>>>>>>>>>> 1

1 >>>>>>>>>>>> 6

2 >>>>>>>>>>>> 11

3 >>>>>>>>>>>> 16

4 >>>>>>>>>>>> 21

To know the the correct answer to the question, we shall apply the equation given in each option to see which will satisfy the table. This can be obtained as follow:

For Option a

y = 3x + 3

x = 0

y = 3(0) + 3

y = 0 + 3

y = 0

y = 3x + 3

x = 1

y = 3(1) + 3

y = 3 + 3

y = 6

For Option b

y = 5x – 4

x = 0

y = 5(0) – 4

y = 0 – 4

y = – 4

y = 5x – 4

x = 1

y = 5(1) – 4

y = 5 – 4

y = 1

For Option c

y = 10x – 9

x = 0

y = 10(0) – 9

y = 0 – 9

y = – 9

y = 10x – 9

x = 1

y = 10(1) – 9

y = 10 – 9

y = 1

For Option d

y = 5x + 1

x = 0

y = 5(0) + 1

y = 0 + 1

y = 1

y = 5x + 1

x = 1

y = 5(1) + 1

y = 5 + 1

y = 6

From the illustrations made above, only option d satisfy the table. Thus, option d gives the correct answer to the question.

I'm having trouble on ixl here is what I have to do

Sophie [7]

Answer:

6(9r-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

54r–42

Both 54 and 43 can be divided by 6

54/6 =9 and 42/6 =7

6*9r - 6*7

Factor out the 6

Does the table show a direct proportional relationship? If so, what is the constant of proportionality?

lesantik [10]

Answer:

C. Yes, 3.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is a relationship of direct proportionality for every ordered pair of the table, then the constant of proportionality must the same for every ordered pair. The constant of proportionality ( $k$ ) is described by the following expression:

$k = \frac{y}{x}$ (1)

Where:

$x$ - Input.

$y$ - Output.

If we know that $(x_{1}, y_{1}) = (13, 45.5)$ , $(x_{2}, y_{2}) = (14, 49)$ and $(x_{3}, y_{3}) = (15, 52.5)$ , then the constants of proportionalities of each ordered pair are, respectively:
