1 answer:

6 0

X= -b⁺₋ √b²-4ac/2a
x= (-(-2)⁺₋√(-2)²- 4(4)(-5))/2(4)
x= 4 ⁺₋√4+80/8
x= (4⁺₋ 9.165)/8
x= 4+9.165)/8 or x= 4-9.165)/8
x= 1.40 or x= -0.896

Assume, for the sake of this question, that the data were collected through a well-designed, well-implemented random sampling me

amid [387]

Answer:

Since the pvalue of the test is 0.2743 > 0.1, the threshold probably was met.

Step-by-step explanation:

The widget manufacturing company had established a threshold of 60% preferring the proposed new widget to move forward with producing the new widgets.

This means that at the null hypothesis we test if the proportion is at least 60%, that is:

$H_{0}: p \geq 0.6$

And the alternate hypothesis is:

$H_{a}: p < 0.6$

The test statistic is:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

In which X is the sample mean, $\mu$ is the value tested at the null hypothesis, $\sigma$ is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.6 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that:

$\mu = 0.6$

$\sigma = \sqrt{0.6*0.4}$

Three hundred thirty-eight of 575 respondents reported preferring the proposed new widget.

This means that $n = 575, X = \frac{338}{575} = 0.5878$

Value of the test-statistic:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$z = \frac{0.5878 - 0.6}{\frac{\sqrt{0.6*0.4}}{\sqrt{575}}}$

$z = -0.6$

Pvalue of the test and decision:

We want to find the probability of a proportion of 0.5878 or lower, which is the pvalue of z = -0.6.

Looking at the z-table, z = -0.6 has a pvalue of 0.2743.

Since 0.2743 > 0.1, the threshold probably was met.

(5/6)^4x=(36/25)^9-x, please help solve for x, and the 9-x is all superscript

stiks02 [169]

$\frac{36}{25}=\frac{6^2}{5^2}=\left(\frac{6}{5}\right)^2=\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^{-2}\\\\therefore:\\\\\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^{4x}=\left[\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^{-2}\right]^{9-x}\\\\\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^{4x}=\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^{-2(9-x)}\iff4x=-2(9-x)\\\\4x=-2\cdot9-2\cdot(-x)\\\\4x=-18+2x\ \ \ \ \ |subtract\ 2x\ from\ both\ sides\\\\2x=-18\ \ \ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\\\\boxed{x=-9}$

$Use:\\a^{-n}=\left(\frac{1}{a}\right)^n\\\\\left(a^n\right)^m=a^{n\cdot m}\\\\\left(\frac{a}{b} \right)^n=\frac{a^n}{b^n}$

After moving 5 units up, 3 units right, and 4 units down, the ending position is (9, 6). What was the starting position.

Anika [276]

You reverse what you did, so first you go 5 units down which makes the coordinates (9,1) then you move 3 units left which then is (6,1). Then you go 4 units up which lets you end out at (6,5).
