A rental car company is running two specials. Customers can pay $40 to rent a compact car for the first day plus $6 for each add

itional day, or they can rent the same car for $30 the first day and $7 for every additional day beyond that. Pamela notices that, given the number of additional days she wants to rent the car for, the two specials are equivalent. How many additional days does Pamela want? Write a system of equations,

Answer: she wants to rent the car for 11 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of additional days that Pamela wants to rent the car for.

Customers can pay $40 to rent a compact car for the first day plus $6 for each additional day. This means that the total cost of using this special for x days would be

40 + 6(x - 1) = 40 + 6x - 6

= 34 + 6x

Also, they can rent the same car for $30 the first day and $7 for every additional day beyond that. This means that the total cost of using this special for x days would be

30 + 7(x - 1) = 30 + 7x - 7

= 23 + 7x

Since she found out that the two specials are equivalent for x days, then

34 + 6x = 23 + 7x

7x - 6x = 34 - 23

x = 11

A restaurant chain has two locations in a medium-sized town and, believing that it has oversaturated the market for its food, is
scoray [572]

Answer:

Yes, since the test statistic value is greater than the critical value.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

\bar X_{1}=360000 represent the mean for the downtown restaurant

\bar X_{2}=340000 represent the mean for the freeway restaurant

s_{1}=50000 represent the sample standard deviation for downtown

s_{2}=40000 represent the sample standard deviation for the freeway

n_{1}=36 sample size for the downtown restaurant

n_{2}=36 sample size for the freeway restaurant

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

\alpha=0.05 significance level provided

Develop the null and alternative hypotheses for this study?

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean of revenue for downtown is higher than for freeway restaurant, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis:\mu_{1}\leq \mu_{2}

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_{1} > \mu_{2}

Since we don't know the population deviations for each group, for this case is better apply a t test to compare means, and the statistic is given by:

t=\frac{\bar X_{1}-\bar X_{2}}{\sqrt{\frac{s^2_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{s^2_{2}}{n_{2}}}} (1)

t-test: Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine whether the means of two groups are equal to each other.

Determine the critical value.

Based on the significance level\alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2=0.025 we can find the critical values from the t distribution dith degrees of freedom df=36+36-2=55+88-2=70, we are looking for values that accumulates 0.025 of the area on the right tail on the t distribution.

For this case the value is t_{1-\alpha/2}=1.66

Calculate the value of the test statistic for this hypothesis testing.

Since we have all the values we can replace in formula (1) like this:

t=\frac{360000-340000}{\sqrt{\frac{50000^2}{36}+\frac{40000^2}{36}}}}=1.874

What is the p-value for this hypothesis test?

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:

p_v =P(t_{70}>1.874)=0.033

Based on the p-value, what is your conclusion?

Comparing the p value with the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we reject the null hypothesis, and the true mean for the downtown revenue restaurant seems higher than the true mean revenue for the freeway restaurant.

The best option would be:

Yes, since the test statistic value is greater than the critical value.

Solve 7x- c= k for x. <br>A. X = 7(k+C) <br>B. x = 7(K-C) <br>C. X = k+c/7 <br>D. X= k-c/7​
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

you add c to both side which will then make it 7x=k+c then you would divide 7 from both sides leaving you with x=k+c/7. Except 7 will be under the k and c.

Which of the following is the line of symmetry for the figure shown below?
scoray [572]

Answer:

Line A

Step-by-step explanation:

A line of symmetry is a line that divides a shape into exactly two equal halves.

A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. A scalene triangle has no lines of symmetry, an isosceles triangle has more than one line of symmetry while an equilateral triangle has three lines of symmetry.

From the diagram we can see that line A divides the figure into two equal halves, hence line A is the line of symmetry.
