Answer:

The maximum value is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is an upside-down parabola, the maximum value occurs at the vertex. Using -b/2a, we can find the x-value of the vertex and use that x value to plug back into the original function to find the maximum value.

x = -b/2a = -(-12)/(2(-6)) = 12/-12 = -1

f(-1) = -6(-1)^2-12(-1)-1 = 5

If Richard can paint their living room in 4 hours, and Vanessa can paint the same living room in 5 hours, then how long will it

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

2 hrs 13 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

If Richard can paint the living room in 4 hrs, then in 1 hour he can paint 1/4 of the living .

If Vanessa can paint the living room in 5 hours, then in one hour, she can paint 1/5 of the living room.

In one hour Richard and Vanessa can paint 1/4 + 1/5 = 1/y

y is the number of hours it will take both Richard and Vanessa to paint the living room. 1/y is how much of the house they can paint in one hour.

1/4 + 1/5 = 1/y

(5 + 4)/20. ( find the LCM)

9/20 = 1/y

9y= 20

y = 20/9

y = 2.22hrs

y = 2 hrs 13 mins

Clarinex is a drug used to treat asthma. In clinical tests of this drug, 1655 patients were treated with 5- mg doses of Clarinex

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

$z=\frac{0.021 -0.012}{\sqrt{\frac{0.012(1-0.012)}{1655}}}=3.363$

$p_v =P(z>3.363)=0.00039$

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.01$ we have $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 1% of significance the proportion of interest is significantly higher than 0.012 (1.2%)

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=1655 represent the random sample taken

$\hat p=0.021$ estimated proportion of interest

$p_o=0.012$ is the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.01$ represent the significance level

Confidence=99% or 0.99

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value (variable of interest)

Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that true proportions is higher than 0.012.:

Null hypothesis: $p \leq 0.012$

Alternative hypothesis: $p > 0.012$

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitic, and the is given by:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion $\hat p$ is significantly different from a hypothesized value $p_o$ .

Calculate the statistic

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:

$z=\frac{0.021 -0.012}{\sqrt{\frac{0.012(1-0.012)}{1655}}}=3.363$

Statistical decision

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.

The significance level provided $\alpha=0.01$ . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(z>3.363)=0.00039$
