Answer:

Option D) 5.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

$75.74 ----> represent the 100%

so

using proportion

Find the percentage that the amount of the customer's water bill increase

Let

x -----> the percentage that increase

$75.74/100%=($79.86-$75.74)/x

$75.74/100%=($4.12)/x

x=100*4.12/75.74

x=5.4%

equation form: y = mx + b

where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (13 -8) / (11 - 5) = 5/6

y = 5/8 x + b (replace x and y by 5 and 8)

=> 8 = 5/6 * 5 + b

=> 8 = 25/6 + b

=> b = 8 - 25/6 = 23/6

==> equation: y = 5/6 * x + 23/6

In June 2005, a CBS News/NY Times poll asked a random sample of 1,111 U.S. adults the following question: "What do you think is
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The appropriate null hypothesis is H_0: p = 0.25

The appropriate alternative hypothesis is H_1: p < 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Exactly a year prior to this poll, in June of 2004, it was estimated that roughly 1 out of every 4 U.S. adults believed (at that time) that the war in Iraq was the most important problem facing the country.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion is still the same, that is, of \frac{1}{4} = 0.25. So

H_0: p = 0.25

We would like to test whether the 2005 poll provides significant evidence that the proportion of U.S. adults who believe that the war in Iraq is the most important problem facing the U.S. has decreased since the prior poll.

Decreased, so at the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if the proportion is less than 0.25, that is:

H_1: p < 0.25

A system for tracking ships indicated that a ship lies on a hyperbolic path described by 5x2 - y2 = 20. the process is repeated
zysi [14]
Answer:
The ship is located at (3,5)

Explanation:
In the first test, the equation of the position was:
5x² - y² = 20 ...........> equation I
In the second test, the equation of the position was:
y² - 2x² = 7 ..............> equation II
This equation can be rewritten as:
y² = 2x² + 7 ............> equation III

Since the ship did not move in the duration between the two tests, therefore, the position of the ship is the same in the two tests which means that:
equation I = equation II

To get the position of the ship, we will simply need to solve equation I and equation II simultaneously and get their solution.

Substitute with equation III in equation I to solve for x as follows:
5x²-y² = 20
5x² - (2x²+7) = 20
5x² - 2y² - 7 = 20
3x² = 27
x² = 9
x = <span>± </span>√9

We are given that the ship lies in the first quadrant. This means that both its x and y coordinates are positive. This means that:
x = √9 = 3

Substitute with x in equation III to get y as follows:
y² = 2x² + 7
y² = 2(3)² + 7
y = 18 + 7
y = 25
y = +√25
y = 5

Based on the above, the position of the ship is (3,5).

Hope this helps :)

Write a situation in which positive and negative numbers are used to describe values that have opposite meaning. What does a 0 r
MrRa [10]
This could be a situation in which items are both bought and sold. In calculating the inventory, positive numbers represent items bought, negative numbers represent items sold and 0 would be no items in the inventory.

Another type of situation would be the displacement of an object from the original position. Where 0 would represent the original/starting position, positive values would represent distance moved forward, negative values represent distance moved backwards.
