Whats the distance between (-8,-7) (8,-4)

1 answer:

8 0

To find the distance between points, use the distance formula.

Distance formula: $\sqrt{ (x_{2} - x_{1})^{2} + ( y_{2} - y_{1})^{2} }$

Plug in your values for $x_{2}, x_{1}, y_{2}, y_{1}$ using (-8, -7) and (8, -4) and solve.

$\sqrt{(8 - (-8))^{2}+(-4 - (-7))^{2}}$
$\sqrt{(8+8)^{2}+(-4+7)^{2}}$
$\sqrt{(16)^{2}+(3)^{2}}$
$\sqrt{256+9}$
$\sqrt{265}$ ≈ $16.28$

Answer:
Approximately 16.28 units.

A committee consisting of 4 faculty members and 5 students is to be formed. Every committee position has the same duties and vot

Zina [86]

Answer:

The number of ways to form the committee is formed = 637065

Solution:

The number of combinations of n things such that m things taken together are given by:-

$C_{(\boldsymbol{n}, \boldsymbol{m})}=\frac{n !}{m !(\boldsymbol{n}-\boldsymbol{m}) !}$

Given Data:

A committee consisting of 4 faculty members and 5 students is to be formed. There are 12 faculty members and 13 students eligible to serve on the committee.

Then, the number of ways to form the committee is formed given by :-

$\begin{array}{l}{12 C_{4} \times 13 C_{5}} \\\\ {=\frac{12 !}{4 !(12-4) !} \times \frac{13 !}{5 !(13-5) !}} \\\\ {=\frac{12 !}{4 ! 8 !} \times \frac{13 !}{5 ! 8 !}} \\\\ {\frac{12 \times 11 \times 10 \times 9 \times 8 !}{27 \times 8 !} \times \frac{13 \times 12 \times 11 \times 10 \times 9 \times 8}{120 \times 8 !}} \\\\ {=637065}\end{array}$

Hence, the number of ways to form the committee is formed = 637065

Amanda and her group of friends spent a total of $35.50 on 7 hot dogs and 6 cheese burgers. Greg and his group of friends spent

Alexeev081 [22]

7h + 6b = 35.50
5h + 6b = 30.50

The difference between the 2 totals spent is $5, and there were the same number of burgers, but 2 fewer hotdogs. So $5/2 = $2.50, the cost of a hot dog. Substitute that into the equations to solve for burgers (b)

5(2.50) + 6b = 30.50
12.50 + 6b = 30.50
6b = 18
b = 3

Check the work:
7(2.50) + 6(3) =
17.50 + 18 = 35.50

Crash Hospital Costs. A study was conducts to estimate hospital costs for accident victims who wore seat belts. Twenty randomly

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

a) The 99% confidence interval would be given by (5004.168;12603.832)

b) For this case we can use the lower bound for the confidence interval as estimation, on this case 5004.168. But we need to take in count that this value it's with 99% of confidence and 1% of significance and 1% of probability to commit type Error I

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X =9004$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s=5629 represent the sample standard deviation

n=20 represent the sample size

2) Part a

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=20-1=19$

Since the Confidence is 0.99 or 99%, the value of $\alpha=0.01$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.005,19)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=2.86$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$9004-2.86\frac{5629}{\sqrt{20}}=5004.168$

$9004+2.86\frac{5629}{\sqrt{20}}=12603.832$

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (5004.168;12603.832)

3) Part b

For this case we can use the lower bound for the confidence interval as estimation, on this case 5004.168. But we need to take in count that this value it's with 99% of confidence and 1% of significance and 1% of probability to commit type Error I
