I assume 4 is the base.

$\log_4x=-3\\
4^{-3}=x\\
x=\dfrac{1}{4^3}\\
x=\dfrac{1}{64}$

Fred's sporting goods is providing a $5 discount on a bicycle that costs $80. What is the percentage of the discount?

Sonja [21]

Answer:

6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

discount/ normal price

5/80

And we are trying to find out the percentage, so

x/100

Set the 2 equations equal to each other

5/80=x/100

Cross multiply

80x=500

Divide by 80 on both sides

x= 6.25

PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ HELP HELP HELP HELPFind the area of the shape.

Bingel [31]

Answer:

3.14

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a circle is $\pi r^2$ , where r is the radius. In this circle, the area would therefore be $3.14\cdot 2^2=12.56$ . However, since this is only a quarter circle, you need to divide the area by 4, meaning that the area of this shape is 3.14 square units. Hope this helps!

A drug company is considering marketing a new local anesthetic. The effective time of the anesthetic the drug company is current

Using the z-distribution, we have that:

The hypothesis test is:

$H_0: \mu = 7.4$

$H_1: \mu < 7.4$

The p-value is of 0.0668.

The critical value is $z^{\ast} = -1.28$

b) Since the test statistic is less than the critical value for the left-tailed test, there is enough evidence to conclude that the null hypothesis will be rejected.

Item a:

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if the mean is of 7.4 minutes, that is:

$H_0: \mu = 7.4$

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if the mean is lower than 7.4 minutes, that is:

$H_1: \mu < 7.4$

We have the standard deviation for the population, hence, the z-distribution is used.

The test statistic is given by:

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

The parameters are:

$\overline{x}$ is the sample mean.

$\mu$ is the value tested at the null hypothesis.

$\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the sample.

n is the sample size.

For this problem, the values of the parameters are: $\overline{x} = 7.1, \mu = 7.4, \sigma = 1.2, n = 36$ .

Hence, the value of the test statistic is:

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

$z = \frac{7.1 - 7.4}{\frac{1.2}{\sqrt{36}}}$

$z = -1.5$

Using a z-distribution calculator, the p-value is of 0.0668.

Also using a calculator, considering a left-tailed test, as we are testing if the mean is less than a value, the critical value with a significance level of 0.1 is of $z^{\ast} = -1.28$ .

Item b:

Since the test statistic is less than the critical value for the left-tailed test, there is enough evidence to conclude that the null hypothesis will be rejected.

Use the method of completing the square to write the equation of the given parabola in this form:

Fudgin [204]

This is a very challenging equation but I'll try my best!

y-k=a(x-h)^2
$Vertex(1,1) ----\ \textgreater \ y-1=a(x-1)^2 
contains~ the ~point (0,-3) 

----\ \textgreater \ 1-1=a(0-,-3)^2 

----\ \textgreater \ 1=-2a 

----\ \textgreater \ a=1/-2

Equation: Y-1=1/-2(x-2)^2$
