Hi there!

Let's start by laying out an equation and replacing "a number" with the letter "X" just to make everything clearer :

6 subtracted from 5 times X = 9

(5 × X) - 6 = 9

Now all you have to do left is solve the equation by isolating "X" :

(5 × X) - 6 = 9

Add 6 on each side of the equation

5 × X = 9

Divide each side of the equation by 5

X = 1.8

Your answer is : 6 subtracted from 5 times 1.8 is equal to 9.

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

Find the diameter of a circle with an area of 95.03 square feet

Leona [35]

Answer:

diameter ≈ 11 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a circle is calculated using the formula

A = πr² ← r is the radius

To find r divide both sides of the equation by π

r² = $\frac{A}{\pi }$ = $\frac{95.03}{\pi }$

Take the square root of both sides

r = $\sqrt{\frac{95.03}{\pi } }$ ≈ 5.5 feet

Diameter = 2r = 2 × 5.5 = 11 feet

Let n1equals50, Upper X 1equals30, n2equals50, and Upper X 2equals10. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. a. At the 0.05 leve

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Null hypothesis: $p_{1} = p_{2}$

Alternative hypothesis: $p_{1} \neq p_{2}$

$z=\frac{0.6-0.2}{\sqrt{0.4(1-0.4)(\frac{1}{50}+\frac{1}{50})}}=4.082$

$p_v =2*P(Z>4.082)=4.46x10^{-5}$

So the p value is a very low value and using any significance level for example $\alpha=0.05$ always $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the the proportion 1 is significantly different from proportion 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

$X_{1}=30$ represent the number of people with a characteristic in 1

$X_{2}=10$ represent the number of people with a characteristic in 2

$n_{1}=50$ sample of 1 selected

$n_{2}=50$ sample of 2 selected

$p_{1}=\frac{30}{50}=0.6$ represent the proportion of people with a characteristic in 1

$p_{2}=\frac{10}{50}=0.2$ represent the proportion of people with a characteristic in 2

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the value for the test (variable of interest)

2) Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the proportion 1 is different from proportion 2 , the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $p_{1} = p_{2}$

Alternative hypothesis: $p_{1} \neq p_{2}$

We need to apply a z test to compare proportions, and the statistic is given by:

$z=\frac{p_{1}-p_{2}}{\sqrt{\hat p (1-\hat p)(\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}})}}$ (1)

Where $\hat p=\frac{X_{1}+X_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}=\frac{30+10}{50+50}=0.4$

3) Calculate the statistic

Replacing in formula (1) the values obtained we got this:

$z=\frac{0.6-0.2}{\sqrt{0.4(1-0.4)(\frac{1}{50}+\frac{1}{50})}}=4.082$

4) Statistical decision

For this case we don't have a significance level provided $\alpha$ , but we can calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a two sided test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(Z>4.082)=4.46x10^{-5}$

Help with 5b please . thank you.

Allushta [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given f(x)=ln(1+x)-x+(1/2)x^2.

We are first ask to differentiate this.

We will need chain rule for first term and power rule for all three terms.

f'(x)=(1+x)'/(1+x)-(1)+(1/2)×2x

f'(x)=(0+1)/(1+x)-(1)+x

f'(x)=1/(1+x)-(1)+x

We are then ask to prove if x is positive then f is positive.

I'm thinking they want us to use the derivative part in our answer.

Let's look at the critical numbers.

f' is undefined at x=-1 and it also makes f undefined.

Let's see if we can find when expression is 0.

1/(1+x)-(1)+x=0

Find common denominator:

1/(1+x)-(1+x)/(1+x)+x(1+x)/(1+x)=0

(1-1-x+x+x^2)/(1+x)=0

A fraction can only be zero when it's numerator is.

Simplify numerator equal 0:

x^2=0

This happens at x=0.

This means the expression,f, is increasing or decreasing after x=0. Let's found out what's happening there. f'(1)=1/(1+1)-(1)+1=1/2 which means after x=0, f is increasing since f'>0 after x=0.

So we should see increasing values of f when we up the value for x after 0.

Plugging in 0 gives: f(0)=ln(1+0)-0+(1/2)0^2=0.

So any value f, after this x=0, should be higher than 0 since f(0)=0 and f' told us f in increasing after x equals 0.
