Answer:

Frank is correct because he ended up bringing 43000 yards of carpet when they only needed 5000.

Step-by-step explanation:

4.3*(10^4)

10^4=10000

4.3*10000=43000

Find the value of x so that the polygons have the same perimeter.

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer: x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter´s formula for this kind of polygons is

The triangle perimeter would be:

(x+2)+(x+3)+(x+3)

And the rectangle:

(x+2)+(x+2)+x+x

For them to have the same value, we should equal them:

(x+2)+(x+3)+(x+3)=(x+2)+(x+2)+x+x

Working with this:

3x+8=4x+4

x=4

An insurance company states that it settles 85% of all life insurance claims within 30 days. A consumer group asks the state ins

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Using the z-distribution, it is found that since the p-value of the test is less than 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis and find that there is enough evidence to conclude that the true proportion of all life insurance claims made to this company that are settled within 30 days is less than 85%.

<h3>What are the hypothesis tested?</h3>

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if there is not enough evidence that the proportion is below 85%, that is:

$H_0: p \geq 0.85$

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if there is enough evidence that the proportion is below 85%, that is:

$H_0: p < 0.85$

<h3>What is the test statistic?</h3>

The test statistic is given by:

$z = \frac{\overline{p} - p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}$

In which:

$\overline{p}$ is the sample proportion.

p is the proportion tested at the null hypothesis.

n is the sample size.

For this problem, the parameters are:

$p = 0.85, n = 250, \overline{p} = \frac{203}{250} = 0.812$

Hence the test statistic is:

$z = \frac{\overline{p} - p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}$

$z = \frac{0.812 - 0.85}{\sqrt{\frac{0.85(0.15)}{250}}}$

z = -1.68

<h3>What is the p-value and the conclusion</h3>

Using a z-distribution calculator, with a left-tailed test, as we are testing if the proportion is less than a value, and z = -1.68, the p-value is of 0.0465.

Since the p-value of the test is less than 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis and find that there is enough evidence to conclude that the true proportion of all life insurance claims made to this company that are settled within 30 days is less than 85%.

Answer:

The ball reached its maximum height of ( $11\ yards$ ) in ( $1\ second$ ).

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is essentially asking one to find the vertex of the parabola formed by the given equation. One could plot the equation, but it would be far more efficient to complete the square. Completing the square of an equation is a process by which a person converts the equation of a parabola from standard form to vertex form.

The first step in completing the square is to group the quadratic and linear term:

$h(t)=-5t^2 + 10t + 6\\\\h(t) = (-5t^2 + 10t) + 6$

Now factor out the coefficient of the quadratic term:

$h(t)=-5(t^2 -2t) + 6$

After doing so, add a constant such that the terms inside the parenthesis form a perfect square, don't forget to balance the equation by adding the inverse of the added constant term:

$h(t) = -5(t^2 -2t) + 6\\\\h(t) = -5(t^2 -2t + 1 -1 ) + 6$

Now take the balancing term out of the parenthesis:

$\\\\h(t)=-5(t^2 -2t + 1) + 6 + ((-1)(-5))$

Simplify:

$h(t) = -5(t^2 -2t + 1) + 6 + 5\\\\h(t) = -5(t-1)^2 + 11$

The x-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola is equal to the additive inverse of the numerical part of the quadratic term. The y-coordinate of the vertex is the constant term outside of the parenthesis. Thus, the vertex of the parabola is:

$(1, 11)$
