We can find the midpoint by finding the average between the two points.

We have r(1, 4) and s(-3, 7).

The formula for midpoint is $\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2}$ .

Let's plug in 1 and -3 in $x_1 + x_2$ and plug in 4 and 7 in $y_1+y_2$ .

$\frac{1+(-3)}{2}, \frac{4+7}{2}$

Simplify the top numbers so now we have:

$\frac{-2}{2}, \frac{11}{2}$

Simplify even further and now we have:

-1, 11/2

So the midpoint of the line segment is (-1, 11/2).

Formula for mid point.
(x1/2+x2/2 , y1/2+ y2/2)

Mid point=
(1/2+ (-3)/2 , 4/2+ 7/2)
(-2/2 , 11/2)
(-1, 5.5)

Answer:

1) We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is higher than 5 gpm, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu \leq 5$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu > 5$

2) $df=n-1=8-1=7$

Since is a one sided test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(t_{(7)}>2.233)=0.0304$

3) For this case is we use a significance level of 1% or 99% of confidencewe see that $p_v >\alpha$ and we don't have enough evidence to conclude that the specification is satified. But if we use a value of significance $\alpha=0.05$ or 95% of confidence we see that $p_v$ and we have enough evidence to conclude that the specification is satisfied.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

$\bar X=6.5$ represent the sample mean

$s=1.9$ represent the sample standard deviation

$n=8$ sample size

$\mu_o =5$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

Part 1: State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is higher than 5 gpm, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu \leq 5$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu > 5$

If we analyze the size for the sample is <30 and we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$t=\frac{6.5-5}{\frac{1.9}{\sqrt{8}}}=2.233$

Part 2: P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:

$df=n-1=8-1=7$

Since is a one sided test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(t_{(7)}>2.233)=0.0304$

Part d: Conclusion

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.01$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the height of men actually its significant higher compared to the height of men in 1960 at 1% of signficance.

Part 3

For this case is we use a significance level of 1% or 99% of confidencewe see that $p_v >\alpha$ and we don't have enough evidence to conclude that the specification is satified. But if we use a value of significance $\alpha=0.05$ or 95% of confidence we see that $p_v$ and we have enough evidence to conclude that the specification is satisfied.

Which of the following is an example of an open equation? 5x + 7 = 12 , 12 + (-8) = 4 , 25 = 5 (5) , 8 + 0 =8

spayn [35]

An open equation is an equation that contain one or more unknow variables.

And that/those variable(s) can be found by solving the equation that make the equation true.

A variable is an English alphabet.

For example, a,b, x, y,z etc.

A variable represents a unknow value for a particular quantity.

In the given options 5x + 7 = 12 , 12 + (-8) = 4 , 25 = 5 (5) , 8 + 0 =8 .

In first option, we have unknow variable x is there.

But in all other options we don't value any variable.

Therefore, all other options can't be open equation.

So, final answer is 5x + 7 = 12 is the only open equation in given options.
