An education firm measures the high school dropout rate as the percentage of 16 to 24 year olds who are not enrolled in school a

posledela

Answer:

The value of the test statistic $z = -0.6606$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The high dropout rate is $\mu = 6.1$ % $= 0.061$

The sample size is $n = 1000$

The number of dropouts $x = 56$

The probability of having a dropout in 1000 people $\= x = \frac{56}{1000} = 0.056$

Now setting up Test Hypothesis

Null $H_o : p = 0.061$

Alternative $H_a : p < 0.061$

The Test statistics is mathematically represented as

$z = \frac{\= x - p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1 -p)}{n} } }$

substituting values

$z = \frac{0.056 - 0.061}{\sqrt{\frac{0.061(1 -0.061)}{1000} } }$

$z = -0.6606$

If y varies inversely as x and y is 2.5 when x is 6, what is y when x is 4? a. 3.75 b. 1.67 c. 0.1 d. 7.5 Please select the best

REY [17]

Because y varies inversely as x, therefore
$y= \frac{k}{x}$
where k = constant.

When x = 6, y = 2.5. Ther efore
$\frac{k}{6} = 2.5$
Cross multiply.
k = 6 x 2.5 = 15

The equation is
$y = \frac{15}{x}$

When x = 4, obtain
$y = \frac{15}{4}= 3.75$

Answer: a. 3.75

From a point on a river, two boats are driven in opposite directions, one at 7 miles per hour and the other at 11 miles per hour

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Both boats will be 54 miles apart after 3 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that from a point on a river, two boats are driven in opposite directions, one at 7 miles per hour and the other at 11 miles per hour, to determine how many hours they will be 54 miles apart, the following calculation must be performed :

54 / (11 + 7) = X

54/18 = X

3 = X

Therefore, both boats will be 54 miles apart after 3 hours.

Whatis the value of y?

Romashka [77]

Answer is A, y = 65

The top angle is 50 because 180 - 130 = 50
Since the top angle is 50, the two bottom angles have to add up to 130. Since the bottom angles are the same, you can do 130 / 2 to find the angles which equals 65.
