Answer:

The charge applied by company for calling 1300 minutes is $26

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The charge applied by company for calling 1250 minutes = $25

The total calling used by John's = 1300 minutes

Let the charge applied by company for calling 1300 minutes = $x

Now, According to question

∵ The charge applied by company for calling 1250 minutes = $25

or, The charge applied by company for calling 1 minute = $\dfrac{25}{1250}$

∴ The charge applied by company for calling 1300 minute = $\dfrac{25}{1250}$ × 1300

i.e x = $\frac{25\times 1300}{1250}$

Or, x = $26

So, The charge applied by company for calling 1300 minutes = x = $26

Hence,The charge applied by company for calling 1300 minutes is $26 Answer

This is for algebra 2 can someone tell me if I’m right and can someone explain how do you get a= ?

algol13

Answers:

a = 2

h = 3

k = -3

You have the correct h and k values. Nice work so far.

==========================================================

Explanation:

(h,k) is the vertex. So (h,k) = (3,-3) meaning h = 3 and k = -3

To get the value of 'a', we need to plug in some point on the red graph. Each point is of the form (x,y). We can pick any point we want that isn't the vertex.

Let's pick (0,3) which is the y intercept. I'm picking this because 0 is an easy number to work with

------------

y = a|x-h| + k

y = a|x-3| + (-3) .... plug in the h,k values

y = a|x-3| - 3

3 = a|0-3| - 3 .... plug in (x,y) = (0,3)

3 = a|-3| - 3

3 = a*3 - 3

3 = 3a - 3

3a-3 = 3

3a = 3+3 ... adding 3 to both sides

3a = 6

a = 6/3 ... divide both sides by 3

a = 2

The value a = 2 indicates that the parent function y = |x| has been stretched vertically by a factor of 2. So it is twice as tall as before. Then it has been shifted to place the vertex at (3,-3) as shown in the graph.

------------

You may be wondering why you can't pick on the vertex for (x,y)

Let's see what happens if we use (x,y) = (3,-3)

y = a|x-3| - 3

-3 = a|3-3| - 3 ... plug in (x,y) = (3,-3)

-3 = a|0| - 3 ... uh oh, we get 0 here

-3 = a*0 - 3

-3 = 0 - 3

-3 = -3

We get a true statement, which is nice, but it doesn't tell us anything about what the value of 'a' is. That 'a' term goes away entirely. So I avoided using x = 3 to prevent x-3 from being 0.

You want to estimate the probability that a lightbulb of a famous brand will last more than 6.500 hours. You choose 10,000 bulbs

brilliants [131]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The likelihood function to estimate this probability can be written as:

mat[1000, 9800]p9580(1 - p)420

(b) The value of the maximum likelihood estimate of the probability 0.958(By taking log of expression in (a) above)

Therefore, the likelihood is p(9800) = mat[10000, 9800]p9800(1 - p)200

(d) Method of moments estimate is the estimation of all the parameters of the population sample.

(e) The statement is FALSE because estimates by the method of moments are not necessarily sufficient statistics, because sometimes fail to take into account all relevant information in the sample. As in the above question
