Ben's favorite deli says the average serving time is 12 minutes. Ben notices that the wait time at the deli varies at different

times of day, before and after noon. His observations when the wait time is as advertised can be represented by the equation 2|x − 2| − 12 = 0. Solve for the times when the serving time is as advertised, relative to noon.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Ben's observations when the wait time is as advertised represented by the equation 2|x − 2| − 12 = 0, to get the times when the serving time is as advertised, relative to noon, we will calculate for the value of x in the equation;

Note that the modulus of the function |x-2| will return both positive and negative value.

For the positive value of |x-2|;

2|x − 2| − 12 = 0

2(x − 2) − 12 = 0

open the parenthesis

2x-4 - 12 = 0

2x - 16 = 0

add 16 to both sides

2x-16+16 = 0+16

2x = 16

x = 16/2

x = 8

For the negative value of |x-2|;

2|x − 2| − 12 = 0

-2(x − 2) − 12 = 0

open the parenthesis

-2x+4 - 12 = 0

-2x - 8 = 0

add 8 to both sides

-2x-8+8 = 0+8

-2x = 8

x = -8/2

x = -4

<em>Hence the times when the serving time is as advertised, relative to noon are 8minutes and 4minutes </em>

A professor wants to know whether or not there is a difference in comprehension of a lab assignment among students depending on
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

It is concluded that no difference exists in the comprehension of the lab based on the test scores.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>Let the populations be normally distributed with a populations standard deviation of 5.32 points for both the text and visual illustrations.</u></em>

The above statement tells us that the independent t or two sample t test will be performed as both have equal variances and are normally distributed.

This can be easily done through excel.

The following table is obtained

     

t-Test: Two-Sample Assuming Equal Variances  

 

                <u>  Text                      Visual Illustrations</u>

Mean          70.28                       75.08

Variance 304.48                     228.58

Observations 15                             15

Pooled Variance Sp²= 266.53

       Pooled Standard Deviation = Sp = 16.33

Hypothesized Mean Difference = x1`-x2`= 0

df = n1+n2-2= 15+15-2= 30-2= 28

t Stat -0.805188239

<u>P(T<=t) two-tail 0.427495979                      </u>

<u>t Critical two-tail 1.701130908                              </u>

Let the null and alternate hypotheses be

H0 : u1-u2= 0   against the claim Ha: u1-u2≠0

There is no difference between the means

against the claim

that there is a difference in means of a lab assignment among students depending on if the instructions are given all in text, or if they are given primarily with visual illustrations.

The significance level is ∝= 0.1

The d.f is n1+n2-2= 15+15-2= 30-2=28

This is a two tailed test and the critical region is t (0.025) (28) ≥ 1.7011 and  t (0.025) (28) ≤ - 1.7011.

The test statistic is

t= x1-x2/ Sp √1/n1+ 1/n2

t= 70.28 -75.08/ 16.33√1/15 +1/15

t= -4.8/5.963

t= -0.8049811  ( minute difference from excel result due to rounding)

Since the calculated value of t= -0.8049 does not fall in the critical region we conclude that there is no difference in means of a lab assignment among students depending on if the instructions are given all in text, or if they are given primarily with visual illustrations.

We accept the null hypothesis.

The p- value is 0.427495979.

What is the length of line segment RS? Use the law of sines to find the answer. Round to the nearest tenth. Law of sines:
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Correct Answer is B. 2.4 Units

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing picture in question is attached.

The Law of Sines is given as:

\frac{Sin(A)}{a} = \frac{Sin (B)}{b} = \frac{Sin (C)}{c}

Where,

a,b,c are the length of sides of triangle

A,B,C are the angles between the two sides of triangle

According to the picture attached, we have ΔRQS,

Let,

r = 3.1 units

R = 80°

s = 2.4 units

S = S

q = RS

Q = Q

Using law of Sines:

\frac{Sin (R)}{r} = \frac{Sin (S)}{s}\\ \frac{Sin (80)}{3.1} = \frac{Sin (S)}{2.4} \\Sin (S) = \frac{Sin (80)}{3.1} * 2.4\\Sin (S) = 0.762\\S = Sin^{-1} (0.762) \\S = 49.68°

Since, triangle is constitute of total 180°, hence,

∠Q + ∠R + ∠S = 180°

∠Q + 80 + 49.68 = 180

∠Q = 180 - 80 - 49.68

∠Q = 50.32°

To find line segment RS, again use law of sines:\frac{Sin (R)}{r} = \frac{Sin (Q)}{q}\\\frac{Sin (80)}{3.1} = \frac{Sin (50.32)}{RS}\\0.3177 = \frac{0.77}{RS}\\RS = 2.42 Units

Write an equation of a line that is perpendicular to the x-axis and passes through (-3, 1)
zavuch27 [327]
For a line to be perpendicular to the x-axis in a 2 dimensional space, it must be composed of points with the same x coordinate and varying in the y coordinate.
X is, therefore, a constant and since the line goes through (-3,1), the equation we are looking for is:

X = -3
