<u>Answer:</u>

(4.75, 4)

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are to find the coordinates of the point that partitions the directed line segment AB in 1:3 ration.

For this, we will use the following formula:

$x = x_1 + k(x_2 - x_1)$ , $y = y_1 + k(y_2-y_1)$

where $k$ is the ratio of the first segment to the whole line segment so in this case, it will $\frac{1}{4}$ .

So substituting the given values in the above formula to find the coordinates:

$x = 3 + \frac {1}{4} (10-3) = 4.75$

$y = 6 + \frac{1}{4} (-2-6) = 4$

Therefore, the coordinates of the point that partitions the directed line segment AB in a 1:3 ratio are (4.75, 4).

On a quiz there are four multiple-choice questions worth 3 points each and two true/false questions

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

C. 3.4

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find expected value, which is essentially the value that we expect to get based on the amount of each "thing" at hand.

Here, we have 4 multiple-choice questions worth 3 points each and 2 true/false questions worth 1 point each. Each multiple-choice question has 5 possible answers, so the probability that you get that multiple-choice question correct is 1/5. Similarly, each true/false question has 2 possible answers, so the probability that you get that question right is 1/2.

Expected value, denoted by E(x), has the formula:

E(x) = ∑ xp(x), where x is the number of points you get per problem here and p(x) is the probability of getting the problem correct

E(x) = 4 * 3 * (1/5) + 2 * 1 * (1/2) = 12/5 + 1 = 17/5 = 3.4.

The answer is thus C.

In recent years the mean number of miles driven per year by residents of a particular state was 11,568. A researcher wishes to t

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

The degrees of freedom are given by:

$df =n-1= 62 -1=61$

And we want to find a critical value on the t distribution with 61 degrees of freedom who accumulates 0.025 of the area on each tail and the critical value would be $t_{\alpha/2}= \pm 2.00$

And the rejection region would be $|t_{calc}| >2.00$

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

$\bar X=10822$ represent the sample mean

$s=1741$ represent the sample standard deviation

$n=62$ sample size

$\mu_o =11568$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

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

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean differs from 11568, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu =11568$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 11568$

The degrees of freedom are given by:

$df =n-1= 62 -1=61$

And we want to find a critical value on the t distribution with 61 degrees of freedom who accumulates 0.025 of the area on each tail and the critical value would be $t_{\alpha/2}= \pm 2.00$

And the rejection region would be $|t_{calc}| >2.00$
