Answer:

First odd number = 13

Second odd number = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

First odd number = 2x + 1

Second odd number = 2x + 3

According to given conditions:

32 + 2x + 1= 3 (2x + 3)

33 + 2x = 6x + 9

Taking terms with x to left and constants to right

2x - 6x = 9 - 33 (sign of transferred terms will be changed)

-4x = -24

Dividing both sides by -4

x = -24/-4

x =6

So,

First odd number = 2x + 1 = 2*6 + 1 = 12 + 1 =13

Second odd number = 2x + 3= 2*6 +3= 12 + 3 = 15

Question1) Describe three scenarios that involve a real-world linear or exponential function. At least one must be exponential.

elixir [45]

Answer:

1) Let's suppose that you go in a straight line, in a car that moves at a constant speed of 80km/h.

Then the distance from your house (assuming that you start the drive in your house) can be modeled with a linear equation:

D(t) = 80km/h*t

where t is time in hours.

This will be a linear function.

2) Suppose that you have a population of some animal, that grows by 2% each month, and initially, there are 100 individuals of that animal.

Then the first month, the population is 100.

The second month the population increased by a 2%, then it will be:

100 + 100*0.02 = 100*(1.02)

The third month, the population will be 100*(1.02) + 0.2*100*(1.02) = 100*(1.02)^2.

and so on, this is an exponential relation, where the population as a function of the number of months, can be written as:

P(m) = 100*(1.02)^(m - 1)

3) Suppose that you have $100 saved, and each month you can save another $80, let's find a function that says the amount of money that you have saved as a function of the number of months. S(m)

The month number zero (before you started saving) you had $100 saved.

S(0) = $100.

One month after, you have saved $80 more, then you have:

S(1) = $100 + $80

Another month after, you have:

S(2) = $100 + $80 + $80 = $100 + 2*$80

And so on, you already can see the pattern, after m months, you will have:

S(m) = $100 + m*$80 saved.

A restaurant chain has two locations in a medium-sized town and, believing that it has oversaturated the market for its food, is

scoray [572]

Answer:

Yes, since the test statistic value is greater than the critical value.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

$\bar X_{1}=360000$ represent the mean for the downtown restaurant

$\bar X_{2}=340000$ represent the mean for the freeway restaurant

$s_{1}=50000$ represent the sample standard deviation for downtown

$s_{2}=40000$ represent the sample standard deviation for the freeway

$n_{1}=36$ sample size for the downtown restaurant

$n_{2}=36$ sample size for the freeway restaurant

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$\alpha=0.05$ significance level provided

Develop the null and alternative hypotheses for this study?

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean of revenue for downtown is higher than for freeway restaurant, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu_{1}\leq \mu_{2}$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu_{1} > \mu_{2}$

Since we don't know the population deviations for each group, for this case is better apply a t test to compare means, and the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X_{1}-\bar X_{2}}{\sqrt{\frac{s^2_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{s^2_{2}}{n_{2}}}}$ (1)

t-test: Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine whether the means of two groups are equal to each other.

Determine the critical value.

Based on the significance level $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2=0.025$ we can find the critical values from the t distribution dith degrees of freedom df=36+36-2=55+88-2=70, we are looking for values that accumulates 0.025 of the area on the right tail on the t distribution.

For this case the value is $t_{1-\alpha/2}=1.66$

Calculate the value of the test statistic for this hypothesis testing.

Since we have all the values we can replace in formula (1) like this:

$t=\frac{360000-340000}{\sqrt{\frac{50000^2}{36}+\frac{40000^2}{36}}}}=1.874$

What is the p-value for this hypothesis test?

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(t_{70}>1.874)=0.033$

Based on the p-value, what is your conclusion?

Comparing the p value with the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v$ so we can conclude that we reject the null hypothesis, and the true mean for the downtown revenue restaurant seems higher than the true mean revenue for the freeway restaurant.

The best option would be:

Yes, since the test statistic value is greater than the critical value.
