The correct answers are:

_______________________________________

[C]: " 8 " . AND :

_______________________________________

[D]: " 9 " .

_______________________________________

Explanation:

To solve:

_______________________________________

Given: " 2r ≤ 3r − 8 " ;

Simplify; to solve this "inequality" in terms of "r" ;

Subtract "3r" from EACH SIDE of the equation:

→ 2r − 3r ≤ 3r − 8 − 3r ;

to get:

→ - 1r ≤ -8 ;

Now, divide both sides of this "inequality" by "-1" ;

to isolate "r" on one side of the "inequality" ; and to solve; 'in terms of "r" ;

Note: When you multiply or divide each side of an inequality;

→ by a "negative value" ; you ALWAYS reverse the "sign" of the inequality (switch the direction of the "sign").

So:

→ - 1r ≤ -8 ;

Divide each side by: " -1 " ;

to get:

→ - 1r / -1 ≤ -8 / -1 ;

to get:

→ {remember to reverse the direction of the sign} ;

→ " r ≥ 8 " .

_______________________________________

So: given the answer choices: " 6, 7 , 8 , and 9" ;

→ Which of these numbers, if any, when substituted for "r" in the "inequality" ; hold true?

→ Begin; with: " r = 6 " ; → " 6 ≥ 8 " ? ; No.

→ Continue; with: " r = 7 " ; → " 7 ≥ 8 " ? ; No.

→ Continue; with: " r = 8 " ; → " 8 ≥ 8 " ? ; Yes!

→ {Note: Is "8" greater than; OR equal to; "8" ?

→ " 8 = 8 " ; → so; " 8 " is equal to " 8 " !

_______________________________________

→ Continue; with: " r = 9 " ; → " 9 ≥ 8 " ? ; Yes!

→ {Note: Is " 9 " greater than; OR equal to; " 8 " ?

→ " 9 > 8 " ; → so; "9" is greater than " 8 " !

_______________________________________

→ As such: the correct answers are:

_______________________________________

[C]: " 8 " . AND :

_______________________________________

[D]: " 9 " .

Which set of ordered pairs is a function?

DochEvi [55]

A function is a set of ordered pairs in which no two different ordered pairs have the same x -coordinate. An equation that produces such a set of ordered pairs defines a function. What is the catch? There can be at most one output for every input.

A television network is deciding whether or not to give its newest television show a spot during prime viewing time at night. If

musickatia [10]

Answer:

a. The test statistic for this hypothesis would be z=1.71

b. Critical value at α = 0.10: z=1.282

c. Reject H0, the television network should not keep its current lineup.

d. H0: p ≤ 0.50; HA: p > 0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to performa an hypothesis test on a proportion.

The claim is that the proportion of viewers that prefer the new show is bigger than 50% (meaning that most viewers prefer the new show).

The null hypothesis will state that both shows have the same proportion.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

$H_0: \pi\leq0.50\\\\H_a: \pi>0.5$

The sample proportion is p=0.53

$p=X/n=438/827=0.53$

The standard error of the proportion is:

$\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.5*0.5}{827}}= 0.017$

Then, the z-statistic can be calculated as:

$z=\dfrac{p-\pi-0.5/n}{\sigma_p}=\dfrac{0.53-0.50-0.5/827}{0.017}=\dfrac{ 0.029 }{0.017} =1.706$

The critical value for a right tailed test at a significance level of 0.10 is zc=1.282. This value can be looked up in a standard normal distribution table.

As the statistic is bigger than the critical value, it lies in the rejection region. The null hypothesis is rejected. There is evidence to support the claim that the proportion of viewers which support the new show is larger than 0.50.

Ashlyn and her friends are making gingerbread houses. They need to divide 28 packages of gumdrops between 7 friends. There are 2

leonid [27]

Answer:

100 gumdrops per person

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that there are 28 packages and each one has 25. So just multiply 28 by 25 and you get 700 gumdrops in total. Finally because there are seven friends in total you divide 700 by 7 and get 100 per person.

A basement bedroom must have a window with an opening area of at least 5.7 square feet, per the International Residential Code.

kati45 [8]

5.7 square feet = 0.53 square meters

0.53 / 0.75 = 0.71

the smallest would be a)0.71
