A study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the resale price, y (in hundreds of dollars), and the age, x (in y

ears), of midsize luxury American automobiles. The equation of the line of best fit was determined below.
y = 181.7 - 20.21x
(a) Find the resale value in dollars of such a car when it is 3 years old. $_____(b) Find the resale value in dollars of such a car when it is 6 years old. $ _____(c) What is the average annual decrease in the resale price in dollars of these cars? $ _____

Answer:

a. $121.07

b. $60.9

C. $20.03

Step-by-step explanation:

From the equation given

Y=181.7-20.21x

Where y is in dollars and X is in years

a. To find the resale price after 3years we have, we substitute x=3 into the given equation.

We have

y=181.7-20.21(3)

y=181.7-60.63

y=121.07

The resale price after 3years is $121.07

b. To find the resale price after 6years we have, we substitute x=6 into the given equation.

We have

y=181.7-20.21(6)

y=181.7-120.72

y=60.98

The resale price after 3years is $60.98

C. To find the average decrease per year, we have

[(x=3)-(x=6)]/3

=(121.07-60.98)/3

$20.03

Hence the average annual decrease is $20.03

Answer:

a) y = 121.07 hundreds of dollars = $12,107

b) y = 60.44 hundreds of dollars = $6,044

c) Annual decrease is 20.21 hundreds of dollars

= $2,021

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

y = 181.7 - 20.21x

Where;

y is the resale price in hundreds of dollars

x is the age in years.

a) Find the resale value in dollars of such a car when it is 3 years old.

x = 3

y = 181.7 - 20.21(3) = 181.7 - 60.63

y = 121.07 hundreds of dollars = $12,107

b) Find the resale value in dollars of such a car when it is 6 years old.

x = 6

y = 181.7 - 20.21(6) = 181.7 - 121.26

y = 60.44 hundreds of dollars = $6,044

c) What is the average annual decrease in the resale price in dollars of these cars?

The annual decrease is the slope of the equation

y = 181.7 - 20.21x

dy/dx = -20.21

Annual decrease is 20.21 hundreds of dollars

= $2,021

If cheese is $4.40 per kilogram, what should i pay for 200 grams

Contact [7]

1 kg is 1,000 grams.

200 grams are 1/5 of 1000 grams, that is 1/5 of 1 kg.

Thus 200 g= 1/5 kg = 0.2 kg.

1 kg of cheese is <span>$4.40,
</span>
so 0.2 kg of cheese is $\displaystyle{ \frac{0.2kg \cdot \$4.40}{1kg}}=4.40 \cdot0.2 \$= 0.88\$$

Answer: $0.88

For the hypothesis test H0: μ = 10 against H1: μ >10 and variance known, calculate the Pvalue for each of the following test

Basile [38]

Answer:

a) $p_v =P(Z>2.05)=1-P(z$

b) $p_v =P(Z>-1.84)=1-P(z$

c) $p_v =P(Z>0.4)=1-P(z$

Step-by-step explanation:

Some previous concepts

The p-value is the probability of obtaining the observed results of a test, assuming that the null hypothesis is correct.

A z-test for one mean "is a hypothesis test that attempts to make a claim about the population mean(μ)".

The null hypothesis attempts "to show that no variation exists between variables or that a single variable is no different than its mean"

The alternative hypothesis "is the hypothesis used in hypothesis testing that is contrary to the null hypothesis"

Hypothesis

Null hypothesis: $\mu=10$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu >10$

If the random variable is distributed like this: $X \sim N(\mu,\sigma)$

We assume that the variance is known so the correct test to apply here is the z test to compare means, the statistic is given by the following formula:

$z_o=\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\sigma}$

Since we have the values for the statistic already calculated we can calculate the p value using the following formulas:

Part a

$p_v =P(Z>2.05)=1-P(z$

And in order to find the answer using excel we can use the following code:

"=1-NORM.DIST(2.05,0,1,TRUE)"

Part b

$p_v =P(Z>-1.84)=1-P(z$

And in order to find the answer using excel we can use the following code:

"=1-NORM.DIST(-1.84,0,1,TRUE)"

Part c

$p_v =P(Z>0.4)=1-P(z$

And in order to find the answer using excel we can use the following code:

"=1-NORM.DIST(0.4,0,1,TRUE)"

Conclusions

If we use a reference value for the significance, let's say $\alpha=0.05$ . For part a the $p_v$ so then we can reject the null hypothesis at this significance level.

For part b the $p_v>\alpha$ so then we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis at this significance level.

For part c the $p_v>\alpha$ so again we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis at this significance level.

More math help please!

Nata [24]

AS we know that:

$V=SA*h$

And we have the volume and we can calculate the SA,,,

So that, we can conclude:
$h= \frac{V}{SA} = \frac{323.5}{\pi (7)^2} =2.1015~~in$

Are you satisfied?
