Answer:

The answer is

$\sqrt{106} \: \: \: or \: \: \: 10.3 \: \: \: \: units$

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points can be found by using the formula

$d = \sqrt{ ({x1 - x2})^{2} + ({y1 - y2})^{2} } \\$

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

L(7,-1) and M(-2, 4)

The distance between them is

$|LM| = \sqrt{ ({7 + 2})^{2} + ( { - 1 - 4})^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{ {9}^{2} + ({ - 5})^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{81 + 25} \\ = \sqrt{106} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ = 10.29563014...$

We have the final answer as

$\sqrt{106} \: \: \: or \: \: \: 10.3 \: \: \: \: units$

Hope this helps you

Complete the following proof. Given: m ∠XOY = m ∠WOV m YZ = m ZW Prove: m XZ = m ZV

horsena [70]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m ∠XOY = m ∠WOV

so, m XY = m WV --- (i)

{ If angle subtended by two arcs at the center are equal, then length of arc are equal}

m YZ = m ZW ------- (ii) {given}

Add (i) and (ii)

XY + YZ = WV + ZW

XZ = ZV

Hence proved.

A United Nations report shows the mean family income for Mexican migrants to the United States is $27,000 per year. A FLOC (Farm

disa [49]

Answer:

We conclude that the mean family income for Mexican migrants to the United States is $27,000 per year and the provided information is consistent with the United Nations report.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a United Nations report shows the mean family income for Mexican migrants to the United States is $27,000 per year.

A FLOC evaluation of 25 Mexican family units reveals a mean to be $30,000 with a sample standard deviation of $10,000.

Let $\mu$ = true mean family income for Mexican migrants.

So, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $\mu$ = $27,000 {means that the mean family income for Mexican migrants to the United States is $27,000 per year}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : $\mu$ $\neq$ $27,000 {means that the mean family income for Mexican migrants to the United States is different from $27,000 per year}

The test statistics that would be used here One-sample t test statistics as we don't know about the population standard deviation;

T.S. = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ $t_n_-_1$

where, $\bar X$ = sample mean family income = $30,000

s = sample standard deviation = $10,000

n = sample of Mexican family = 25

So, the test statistics = $\frac{30,000-27,000}{\frac{10,000}{\sqrt{25} } }$ ~ $t_2_4$

= 1.50

The value of t test statistics is 1.50.

Since, in the question we are not given the level of significance so we assume it to be 5%. Now, at 5% significance level the t table gives critical values of -2.064 and 2.064 at 24 degree of freedom for two-tailed test.

Since our test statistic lies within the range of critical values of t, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which we fail to reject our null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that the mean family income for Mexican migrants to the United States is $27,000 per year and the provided information is consistent with the United Nations report.

Which function has zeros at x = -2 and x = 5?

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

f(x)=x²-3x-10

Step-by-step explanation:

\begin{gathered}f(x) = x {}^{2} - 3x - 10 \\ to \: find \: x \: intercept \:o r \: zero \: substitute \: f(x) = 0\: \\ 0 = x {}^{2} - 3x - 10 \\ x {}^{2} - 3x - 10 = 0 \\ x {}^{2} + 2x - 5x - 10 = 0 \\ x(x + 2) - 5x - 10 = 0 \\ x(x + 2) - 5(x + 2) = 0 \\ (x + 2).(x - 5) = 0 \\ x + 2 = 0 \\ x - 5 = 0 \\ x = - 2 \\ x = 5\end{gathered}

f(x)=x

x=−2

x=5

therefore the zeros of the equation are x₁=-2,x₂=5

At a raffle, 1500 tickets are sold at $2 each. There are four prizes given for $500, $250, $150, and $75. You buy one ticket. Us

wolverine [178]

Answer:

The expected value of every ticket is a loss of $ 1.35

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

Number of tickets sold at the raffle = 1,500

Price of each ticket = $ 2

Total prizes = 1 * $ 500 + 1 * $ 250 + 1 * $ 150 + 1 * $ 75

2. Use a probability distribution table to calculate the expected value of your gain. Your expected value is_____ ?

Let's answer the question using a probability distribution for the gains, this way:

Probability of 1st prize of $ 498 (500 - ticket) = 1/1,500
Probability of 2nd prize of $ 248 (250 - ticket) = 1/1,500
Probability of 3rd prize of $ 148 (150 - ticket) = 1/1,500
Probability of 4th prize of $ 73 (75 - ticket) = 1/1,500
Probability of losing $ 2 (ticket) = 1,496/1,500

Now, we calculate the mean for all the tickets (winners and non-winners), this way:

Expected value = [(1,496 * -2) + (1 * 498) + (1 * 248) + ( 1 * 148) + ( 1 * 73)]/1,500

Expected value = [- 2,992 +498 + 248 + 148 + 73)/1,500

Expected value = -2,025/1,500 = - 1,35

The expected value of every ticket is a loss of $ 1.35
