A line containing the points (9, 1) and (5, 5) intersects the x -axis at what point?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Troyanec [42]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

It intersects the x-axis at x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find slope <em>m</em>

m = (5 - 1)/(5 - 9)

m = 4/-4

m = -1

y = -x + b

Step 2: Find <em>b</em>

5 = -5 + b

b = 10

Step 3: Rewrite equation

y = -x + 10

Step 4: Find <em>x</em> when <em>y</em> = 0

0 = -x + 10

-10 = -x

x = 10

So the graph crosses the x-axis at 10.

While conducting a test of modems being manufactured, it is found that 10 modems were faulty out of a random sample of 367 modem
Kitty [74]

Answer:

We conclude that this is an unusually high number of faulty modems.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that while conducting a test of modems being manufactured, it is found that 10 modems were faulty out of a random sample of 367 modems.

The probability of obtaining this many bad modems (or more), under the assumptions of typical manufacturing flaws would be 0.013.

Let p = <em><u>population proportion</u></em>.

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p = 0.013      {means that this is an unusually 0.013 proportion of faulty modems}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : p > 0.013      {means that this is an unusually high number of faulty modems}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>One-sample z-test</u> for proportions;

                             T.S. =  \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} } }  ~  N(0,1)

where, \hat p = sample proportion faulty modems= \frac{10}{367} = 0.027

           n = sample of modems = 367

So, <u><em>the test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{0.027-0.013}{\sqrt{\frac{0.013(1-0.013)}{367} } }

                                     =  2.367

The value of z-test statistics is 2.367.

Since, we are not given with the level of significance so we assume it to be 5%. <u>Now at 5% level of significance, the z table gives a critical value of 1.645 for the right-tailed test.</u>

Since our test statistics is more than the critical value of z as 2.367 > 1.645, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which <u><em>we reject our null hypothesis</em></u>.

Therefore, we conclude that this is an unusually high number of faulty modems.

In a seminar of 1200 people, 65 percent were women, How many men were in the seminar?
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

420

Step-by-step explanation:

If there were 1200 people, and 65 percent were women, that means the rest of the crowd are men, which is 35 percent. By multiplying 35 percent by the overall population, 1200, (1200*35/100), you'll get 420 men.

When an oil tank is 7/12 full, it contains 5 1/4 gallons. How many gallons does it hold when full
blondinia [14]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

The tank can hold up to 9 gallons.

Quick Review:

By doing the inverse of 7/12, 12/7, when you multiply it, you'll get a value of 1.

7/12 * 12/7 = 1

Doing the Problem:

By multiplying 5 1/4 by 12/7, you'll get the answer. But first, convert 5 1/4 into an improper fraction.

5 1/4 ---> 21/4

Okay, lets go!

21/4 * 12/7 = 252/28

<u>When reduced, this gives you the answer 9/1, or 9 gallons.</u>

Hope that helps, :)
