Which of the following is the graph of the absolute-value parent function?

1 answer:

4 0

Should have the ordered pairs of
(-4,4) (-3,3) (-2,2) (-1,1) (0,0) (1,1) (2,2) (3,3).

Will look like a V when graphed. Reason being is if you take the absolute value of anything you are basically just dropping the negative sign as it is how far away it is from 0.

Answer:

$a_1=-10$

$d=3$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In an Arithmetic Sequence the difference between one term and the next is a constant, and this constant is called the common difference (d)

In this problem we have the ordered pairs

$(1,-10),(2,-7),(3,-4),(4,-1),(5,2),(6,5)$

Let

$a_1=-10\\a_2=-7\\a_3=-4\\a_4=-1\\a_5=2\\a_6=5$

Find the difference between one term and the next

$a_2-a_1=-7-(-10)=3$

$a_3-a_2=-4-(-7)=3$

$a_4-a_3=-1-(-4)=3$

$a_5-a_4=2-(-1)=3$

$a_6-a_5=5-2=3$

The difference between one term and the next is a constant

This constant is the common difference

The sequence graphed is an Arithmetic Sequence

therefore

The first term is $a_1=-10$

The common difference is equal to $d=3$

In an examination of purchasing patterns of shoppers, a sample of 16 shoppers revealed that they spent, on average, $54 per hour

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

$54-1.64\frac{21}{\sqrt{16}}=45.39$

$54 +1.64\frac{21}{\sqrt{16}}=62.61$

So on this case the 90% confidence interval would be given by (45.39;62.61)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X=54$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma=21$ represent the sample standard deviation

n=16 represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

Since the Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of $\alpha=1-0.9=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.05,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=1.64$
