Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is,

$\Rightarrow ax = 6$

$\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{6}{a}$

We need to to find all the whole values of a for which the solution of the equation i.e x will be a whole number.

We know that when a number is divided by one of its factor it leaves a remainder of 0 or the result we get is a whole number.

That is why, we need a as one of the factors of 6, i.e 1, 2, 3, 6 in order to get x as a whole number.

Chris’s new car gets 42 miles per gallon. What is the equation that represents y, the total miles driven on x gallons of gas?

Fantom [35]

Answer: I think the answer is B

Step-By-Step Explination:

First you find out what x is by doing 42 multiplying it by 0.1 witch equals 4.2 gallons per mile

Next you figure out what y is by doing 4.2y (witch is 4.2 times y)

A quality analyst of a tennis racquet manufacturing plant investigates if the length of a junior's tennis racquet conforms to th

Burka [1]

Answer:

Confidence interval : $21.506$ to $24.493$

Step-by-step explanation:

A quality analyst selects twenty racquets and obtains the following lengths:

21, 25, 23, 22, 24, 21, 25, 21, 23, 26, 21, 24, 22, 24, 23, 21, 21, 26, 23, 24

So, sample size = n =20

Now we are supposed to find Construct a 99.9% confidence interval for the mean length of all the junior's tennis racquets manufactured at this plant.

Since n < 30

So we will use t-distribution

Confidence level = 99.9%

Significance level = α = 0.001

Now calculate the sample mean

X=21, 25, 23, 22, 24, 21, 25, 21, 23, 26, 21, 24, 22, 24, 23, 21, 21, 26, 23, 24

Sample mean = $\bar{x}=\frac{\sum x}{n}$

Sample mean = $\bar{x}=\frac{21+25+23+22+24+21+25+21+23+ 26+ 21+24+22+ 24+23+21+ 21+ 26+23+ 24}{20}$

Sample mean = $\bar{x}=23$

Sample standard deviation = $\sqrt{\frac{\sum(x-\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}$

Sample standard deviation = $\sqrt{\frac{(21-23)^2+(25-23)^2+(23-23)^2+(22-23)^2+(24-23)^2+(21-23)^2+(25-23)^2+(21-23)^2+(23-23)^2+(26-23)^2+(21-23)^2+(24-23)^2+(22-23)^2+(24-23)^2+(23-23)^2+(21-23)^2+(21-23)^2+(26-23)^2+(23-23)^2+(24-23)^2}{20-1}}$

Sample standard deviation= s = $1.72$

Degree of freedom = n-1 = 20-1 -19

Critical value of t using the t-distribution table $t_{\frac{\alpha}{2}$ = 3.883

Formula of confidence interval : $\bar{x} \pm t_{\frac{\alpha}{2}} \times \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

Substitute the values in the formula

Confidence interval : $23 \pm 1.73 \times \frac{1.72}{\sqrt{20}}$

Confidence interval : $23 -3.883 \times \frac{1.72}{\sqrt{20}}$ to $23 + 3.883 \times \frac{1.72}{\sqrt{20}}$

Confidence interval : $21.506$ to $24.493$

Hence Confidence interval : $21.506$ to $24.493$
