Answer:

No solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the absolute value:

|x−1| + 5 = 2

Subtract 5 from both sides:

|x-1| = -3

Since an absolute value can never be equal to a negative number, there are no solutions.

Orlov [11]

Answer:

We conclude that the the touch therapists does not use a method equivalent to random guesses.

Yes, the results suggest that touch therapists are effective.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in a 9-year-old girl did a science fair experiment in which she tested professional touch therapists to see if they could sense her energy field.

Among 264264 trials, the touch therapists were correct 105105 times.

Let p = proportion that touch therapists uses a random guess method.

Here, random guess means; p = 50%

So, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : p = 50% {means that the touch therapists use a method equivalent to random guesses}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : p $\neq$ 50% {means that the touch therapists does not use a method equivalent to random guesses}

The test statistics that would be used here One-sample z proportion statistics;

T.S. = $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p$ = sample proportion of touch therapists were correct = $\frac{105}{264}$ = 0.39

n = sample of trials = 264

So, test statistics = $\frac{\frac{105}{264} -0.50}{\sqrt{\frac{\frac{105}{264}(1-\frac{105}{264})}{264} } }$

= -3.395

The value of z test statistics is -3.395.

Now, at 0.05 significance level the z table gives critical value of -1.96 and 1.96 for two-tailed test. Since our test statistics does not lie within the range of critical values of z, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will in the rejection region due to which we reject our null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that the the touch therapists does not use a method equivalent to random guesses.

Yes, the results suggest that touch therapists are effective.

wolverine [178]

Answer:

A one-sided, two-sample t-test

Step-by-step explanation:

In the context, the values of the population standard deviations are not provided, therefore we have to use the two sample t tests for the difference between the two population means. This claim for the hypothesis or the alternative hypothesis is given as the average selling price is more for the first group of the sample size of 21 as compared to the other group of the sample size of 87. Therefore, we perform an one sided test or the upper tailed test.

23. The letters of the alphabet are written on

Alla [95]

Answer:

21/676

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of letters of the alphabet will be the total outcome which is 26 alphabets.

If consonant numbers are drawn out, the probability of drawing a consonant will be total consonants/total alphabets

Total consonants in the alphabet is 21.

Probability of drawing consonants = 21/26.

Since all the consonants are replaced before drawing a Z, our total outcome will not change i.e it will still be 26.

Probability of drawing a letter Z will be 1/26.

Therefore, the probability of drawing a consonant,replacing it, and then drawing a Z will be;

21/26×1/26

= 21/676
