According to the February 2008 Federal Trade Commission report on consumer fraud and identity theft, 23% of all complaints in 20

07 were for identity theft. In that year, Alaska had 321 complaints of identity theft out of 1,432 consumer complaints ("Consumer fraud and," 2008). Does this data provide enough evidence to show that Alaska had a lower proportion of identity theft than 23%? State the type I and type II errors in this case, consequences of each error type for this situation, and the appropriate alpha level to use.

The relationship between the percentage of frozen citrus crop, and the cost of box of oranges is an illustration of a linear function.

<em>The linear equation of the function is: </em> $g(P) = 22.9P+7$ <em>.</em>
<em>The inverse function is: </em> $g^{-1}(c) = \frac{1}{22.9}(c - 7)$ <em> .</em>
<em>A practical domain is from 0% to 100%</em>
<em>A practical range is from 7 to 29.9 </em>

<u>A. Input quantity</u>

The input quantity is the percentage of frozen citrus crop

<u />

<u>B. Output quantity </u>

The output quantity is the cost of box of oranges

<u>C. The linear function</u>

We have:

$(P_1,c_1) = (20\%,11.58)\\(P_2,c_2) = (80\%,25.32)$

<em>Calculate the slope of the function</em>

$m = \frac{c_2 - c_1}{P_2 - P_1}$

$m = \frac{25.32 - 11.58}{80\%-20\%}$

$m = \frac{13.74}{60\%}$

$m = 22.9$

<em>The linear equation is calculated as follows:</em>

$c -c_1 = m(P-P_1)$

$c -11.58= 22.9(P-20\%)$

$c-11.58 = 22.9P-4.58$

<u>D. Rewrite as y = mx + b</u>

We have:

$c-11.58 = 22.9P-4.58$

Collect like terms

$c = 22.9P - 4.58 + 11.58$

$c = 22.9P+7$

<em>The function is:</em>

$g(P) = 22.9P+7$

<u>E. A practical domain</u>

The domain is the possible values of P. Because P is a percentage, its possible values are 0% to 100%.

The domain of the function is: $[0\%,100\%]$

<u>F. A practical range</u>

When P = 0%

$c = 22.9 \times 0\% + 7 = 7$

When P = 100%

$c = 22.9 \times 100\% + 7 = 29.9$

Hence, the range of the function is: $[7,29.9]$

G. The meaning of $g^{-1}(12)$

The inverse function of g(P) is $g^{-1}(P)$

So:

$g^{-1}(12)$ is the percentage of frozen citrus crop, when the cost is $12.

<u>H. The inverse formula</u>

We have:

$c = 22.9P+7$

Subtract 7 from both sides

$c - 7 = 22.9P$

Make P the subject

$P = \frac{1}{22.9}(c - 7)$

So, the inverse formula is:

$g^{-1}(c) = \frac{1}{22.9}(c - 7)$

Substitute 12 for c

$g^{-1}(12) = \frac{1}{22.9}(12 - 7)$

$g^{-1}(12) = \frac{1}{22.9} \times 5$

$g^{-1}(12) = 22\%$

What is the slope of the line with equation y=-x

zmey [24]

The slope intercept form is y=mx+b
in this case y=-x
y=(-1)x + 0
so the slope m=-1 and y-intercept which is b is 0

What type of sequence is 0,12,24,36,48 geometric or arithmetic?

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

Arithmetic

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each number is 12 larger than the last, this is an arithmetic sequence. A geometric sequence is one in which each next number in the sequence is the previous one multiplied by a certain set coefficient, while in an arithmetic sequence it's a certain number added. Hope this helps!

How do I find the displacement? Help frl

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

distance traveled: 30 m
displacement: 21.4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the distance traveled and the displacement after walking 17 m south and 13 m east.

<h3>Distance</h3>

The distance traveled is the sum of the lengths of each leg of the trip:

17 m + 13 m = 30 m

You have traveled a distance of 30 m.

<h3>Displacement</h3>

The displacement is the distance from your final position to your starting position. If you draw a diagram of the journey, you see the displacement is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 17 m and 13 m. The Pythagorean theorem can help you find this length:

h = √(a² +b²)

h = √(17² +13²) = √(289 +169) = √458 ≈ 21.401

At the end of your walking, you are 21.4 m from where you started.

9x-7=-7<br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=9x%20-%207%20%3D%20-%207" id="TexFormula1" title="9x - 7 = - 7" alt="9x - 7 = - 7"

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

x= 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question, we are given a linear equation of single variable x, and we have to solve the equation for x.

The given equation is 9x -7= -7 ....... (1)

Now, taking all the constant terms to the right side of the equation and all the x terms to the left side of the equation.

Hence, the equation becomes

9x = -7 +7

⇒ 9x =0 {Since, -7 and 7 cancels each other}

⇒ x= 0/9= 0 (Answer) {Since zero divided by any number is equal to zero}
