Is about inequalities, I know the rule of flipping the sign if you multiply or divide by a negative numbers but a few examples c

onfuse me.
To make this inequality 5x+2y<14 into the slope-intercept form y=mx+b, please tell me if the sign has to be flipped.
I do it like this
5x+2y<14
y<-5/2x+14/2
y<-5/2x+7
I am not dividing by a negative number but 5 is negative, 2 is positive, should I flip the sign or not?

Answer:

do not flip the sign

Step-by-step explanation:

you only flip when you divide with negative number

however, for you to get the intercepts, you assumed

for y =0

5x +2(0)<14

5x<14

x<14/5<2.8

and also

x=0

5(0)+2y<14

2y<14

y<14/2

y<7

this assumption is because at interception, either x or y will be at origin

A cake recipe calls for 550 grams of flour. About how many pounds of flour do you​ need? Use the conversion factors StartFractio
geniusboy [140]

The question is:

A cake recipe calls for 550 grams of flour. About how many pounds of flour do you​ need? Use the conversion factors (1 ounce)/(28.4 grams) and (1 pound)/(16 ounces).

Answer:

About 1.2 pounds of flour is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the cake recipe calls for 550 grams, we want to determine about how many pounds of flour we need.

This simply means we want to convert 550 grams to pounds.

First, we were given (1 ounce)/(28.4 grams)

This implies that

1/28.4 = x/550 ..............................(1)

Where x is 550 grams in ounce.

Solving (1)

28.4x = 550

=> x = 550/28.4

≈ 19.3662

That is 550 grams is equal to 19.3662 ounce

Next, we are given the ratio (1 pound)/(16 ounce). We then convert 19.3662 ounce to pound

Let y be 19.3662 ounce in pound

=> 1/16 = y/19.3662

16y = 19.3662

y = 19.3662/16

≈ 1.2

That is 19.3662 ounce is equal to 1.2 pounds.

Therefore, 550 grams is equal to 1.2 pounds, and it is the amount of flour needed.

A random sample of 49 measurements from one population had a sample mean of 15, with sample standard deviation 5. An independent
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Comparing the p value with the significance level \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and the difference between the two groups is significantly different.  

Step-by-step explanation:

\bar X_{1}=15 represent the mean for sample 1

\bar X_{2}=18 represent the mean for sample 2

s_{1}=5 represent the sample standard deviation for 1  

s_{f}=6 represent the sample standard deviation for 2  

n_{1}=49 sample size for the group 2  

n_{2}=64 sample size for the group 2  

\alpha=0.01 Significance level provided

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the difference in the population means, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu_{1}-\mu_{2}=0  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_{1} - \mu_{2}\neq 0  

We don't have the population standard deviation's, so 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})-\Delta}{\sqrt{\frac{s^2_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{s^2_{2}}{n_{2}}}} (1)

And the degrees of freedom are given by df=n_1 +n_2 -2=49+64-2=111  

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.

With the info given we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

t=\frac{(15-18)-0}{\sqrt{\frac{5^2}{49}+\frac{6^2}{64}}}}=-2.897

P value

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(t_{111}  

Comparing the p value with the significance level \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and the difference between the two groups is significantly different.
