Substitute x=y+1 into the expression 3x -1 and determine the first step

Kruka [31]

Answer: the solution becomes 3=y+1-1

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to combine like terms meaning you subtract 1-1. Then you are left with 3=y.

Let f(t) give the number of liters of fuel oil burned in t days, and w(r) the liters burned in r weeks. Find a formula for w by

viktelen [127]

Answer:

7 f(t)

Step-by-step explanation:

So, our f(t) is the number of liters burned in t days. If t is 1, f(t)=f(1) and so on for every t.

w(r) id the number of liters in r weeks. This is, in one week there are w(1) liters burned.

As in one week there are 7 days, we can replace the r, that is a week, by something that represents 7 days. As 1 day is represented by t, one week can be 7t (in other words r = 7t). So, we have that the liters burned in one week are:

w(r) = w[7f(t)]

So, we represented the liters in one week by it measure of days.

So, we can post that the number of liters burned in 7 days is the same as the number of liters burned 1 day multiplied by 7 times. So:

w (r) = w[7 f(t)] = 7 f(t)

Here we hace the w function represented in terms of t instead of r.

At Western University the historical mean of scholarship examination scores for freshman applications is 900. A historical popul

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

a) Null Hypothesis: $\mu =900$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 900$

b) The 95% confidence interval would be given by (910.05;959.95)

c) Since we confidence interval not ocntains the value of 900 we fail to reject the null hypothesis that the true mean is 900.

d) $z=\frac{935 -900}{\frac{180}{\sqrt{200}}}=2.750$

Since is a bilateral test the p value is given by:

$p_v =2*P(Z>2.750)=0.0059$

Step-by-step explanation:

a. State the hypotheses.

On this case we want to check the following system of hypothesis:

Null Hypothesis: $\mu =900$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 900$

b. What is the 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean examination score if a sample of 200 applications provided a sample mean x¯¯¯= 935?

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X=935$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma=180$ represent the population standard deviation

n=200 represent the sample size

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the mean and the sample deviation we can use the following formulas:

$\bar X= \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n}$ (2)

$s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar X)}{n-1}}$ (3)

The mean calculated for this case is $\bar X=3278.222$

The sample deviation calculated $s=97.054$

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$
