Answer: 35.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Yes  there is sufficient evidence to  reject the company's evidence

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that  

   The sample size is  n =  25

    The mean is  \= x = 5.3 \ mpg

     The standard deviation is  \sigma = 1.8 \  mpg

    The z-score is  z = -1.94

The null hypothesis is  H_o : \mu = 6 \ mpg

The alternative hypothesis is  H_a :  \mu \ne 6

 Generally the p-value is mathematically evaluated as  

           p-value   =  2 * P( Z

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to    -1.94  is

         P( Z

=>  p-value   =  2 * 0.02619

=>  p-value   =  0.052

Let assume the level of significance is  \alpha = 0.05

 Hence the  p-value > \alpha this mean that

   The  decision rule is  

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is

 There is sufficient evidence to  reject the company's evidence

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

1) x²+4x=2700

2) 50x50

Step-by-step explanation:

Pony area = x²

line-up area=4x

x²+4x=2700

x²+4x-2700=0

(x-50)(x+54)

So x= 50 or -54.  Since it can’t be a negative number, it must be 50.

CHECK:

Square = 50x50 = 2500

Line up area = 50x4 = 200

2500+200=2700 YES

A hockey player strikes a hockey puck. The height of the puck increases until it reaches a maximum height of 3 feet, 55 feet awa
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Second puck travels farther

Step-by-step explanation:

Maximum height of first puck = 3 feet

The height of a second hockey puck is modeled by:

y=x\left(0.15-0.001x\right)

y=0.15x-0.001x^2

To find maximum height of second puck

y'=0.15-0.002x

Equate the derivative equals to 0

0.15-0.002x=0

\frac{0.15}{0.002}=x

75 = x

At x = 75

y=0.15(75)-0.001(75)^2=5.625

So, The maximum height of second puck is greater than  first puck

So, Second puck travels farther
