Explanation:

Given:

x

10

x

=

0

To complete the square put the two

x

terms on the left and the constant on the right of the equation:

x

x

=

−

16

Complete the square by multiplying the

x

-term by

1

and adding the square of this number to the right side of the equation:

The

What is the equation of the line passing through the point (-2, 4) and perpendicular to y = -one halfx + 4?
goldfiish [28.3K]
Recall that given the slope, m₁, of the equation of the line, we can find the slope, m₂, of the line perpendicular to it is equal to the negative reciprocal of m₁. Given that the equation is equal to y = (-1/2)x + 4, slope is equal to -1/2. The negative reciprocal of the slope would be 2. That would be m₂ = 2. Now, since the point (-2, 4) passes through this line, we can use the point-slope form of the line shown below. (y - y₁) = m(x - x₁) where (x₁, y₁) for this case is (-2, 4) and m = 2. So, we now have (y - 4) = 2(x - (-2)) y - 4 = 2x + 8 y = 2x +12 Thus, the equation of the line is y = 2x + 12. <span>Answer: 2x + 12</span>

The following are the average weekly losses of worker-hours due to accidents in 10 industrial plants before and after a certain
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

t=\frac{\bar d -0}{\frac{s_d}{\sqrt{n}}}=\frac{-5.2 -0}{\frac{4.077}{\sqrt{10}}}=-4.0332  

The next step is calculate the degrees of freedom given by:  

df=n-1=10-1=9  

Now we can calculate the p value, since we have a two tailed test the p value is given by:  

p_v =2*P(t_{(9)}  

The p value is lower than the significance level given \alpha=0.05, so then we can conclude that we can reject the null hypothesis that no difference between the two measures. So there is a significant difference between the measurements before and after

The null hypothesis must be rejected at level alpha = 0.05. We conclude that the industrial safety program is effective. The evidence is strong since a computer calculation gives the P value .9985. Enter 0 if this statement is FALSE or 1 otherwise

This STATEMENT is FALSE (1) since the p value is 0.0030 and not 0.9985

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

We assume that the paired sample data are simple random samples and that the differences have a distribution that is approximately normal. So for this case is better apply a paired t test.  

A paired t-test is used to compare two population means where you have two samples in which observations in one sample can be paired with observations in the other sample. For example if we have Before-and-after observations (This problem) we can use it.  

Solution to the problem

Let put some notation  

x=test value before , y = test value after  

x: 45,73,46,124,33,57,83,34,26,17  

y: 36,60,44,119,35,51,77,29,24,11

The system of hypothesis for this case are:  

Null hypothesis: \mu_y- \mu_x = 0  

Alternative hypothesis: \mu_y -\mu_x \neq 0  

The first step is calculate the difference d_i=y_i-x_i and we obtain this:  

d: -9,-13,-2, -5, 2, -6, -6, -5, -2, -6  

The second step is calculate the mean difference  

\bar d= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n d_i}{n}= \frac{-52}{10}=-5.2  

The third step would be calculate the standard deviation for the differences, and we got:  

s_d =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (d_i -\bar d)^2}{n-1} =4.077  

The 4 step is calculate the statistic given by :  

t=\frac{\bar d -0}{\frac{s_d}{\sqrt{n}}}=\frac{-5.2 -0}{\frac{4.077}{\sqrt{10}}}=-4.0332  

The next step is calculate the degrees of freedom given by:  

df=n-1=10-1=9  

Now we can calculate the p value, since we have a two tailed test the p value is given by:  

p_v =2*P(t_{(9)}  

The p value is lower than the significance level given \alpha=0.05, so then we can conclude that we can reject the null hypothesis that no difference between the two measures. So there is a significant difference between the measurements before and after

The null hypothesis must be rejected at level alpha = 0.05. We conclude that the industrial safety program is effective. The evidence is strong since a computer calculation gives the P value .9985. Enter 0 if this statement is FALSE or 1 otherwise

This STATEMENT is FALSE (1) since the p value is 0.0030 and not 0.9985

What is an equation for the line parallel to y = -x + 7 that passes through (7,-2)?
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

  • y = -x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel line has same slope with the given, so the line is

  • y = -x + b

Using the given point, finding the value of b

  • -2 = -7 + b
  • b = 7 - 2
  • b = 5

The equation is

  • y = -x + 5

Please can someone explain how to work out this
wariber [46]

Answer:

T = 4B + 10C

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 4 doughnuts in a bag then there are 4B doughnuts in B bags

Since there are 10 doughnuts in a carton then there are 10C doughnuts in C cartons, thus summing the two quantities gives

T = 4B + 10C

This is graphing linear equations. I'm very confused on the m part
Leona [35]
In the slope intercept form equation, y =mx+b, m is the slope, or the coefficient of x.
Therefore, the slope, or m, in this situation is -2/3.
Hope this helps!
