Answer:

Yes, result is significant ; PVALUE < α

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

x = 536

n = sample size = 1012

Phat = x / n = 536 / 1012 = 0.5296 = 0.53

H0 : P0 = 0.5

H1 : P0 > 0.5

Test statistic :

(Phat - P0) ÷ sqrt[(P0(1 - P0)) / n]

1-P0 = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

(0.53 - 0.5) ÷ sqrt[(0.5*0.5)/1012]

0.03 ÷ 0.0157173

= 1.9087

Pvalue :

Using the Pvalue from test statistic :

Pvalue = 0.02815

To test if result is significant :

α = 0.05

0.02815 < 0.05

Pvalue < α ; Hence, result is significant at α=0.05; Hence, we reject H0.

A point P(x,y) moves along the graph of the equation y = x3 + x2 + 2. The x-values are changing at the rate of 2 units per secon
CaHeK987 [17]

Using implicit differentiation, it is found that y is changing at a rate of 10 units per second.

---------------------

The equation is:

y = x^3 + x^2 + 2

Applying implicit differentiation in function of t, we have that:

\frac{dy}{dt} = 3x^2\frac{dx}{dt} + 2x\frac{dx}{dt}

  • x-values changing at a rate of 2 units per second means that \frac{dx}{dt} = 2
  • Point Q(1,4) means that x = 1, y = 4.

We want to find \frac{dy}{dt}, thus:

\frac{dy}{dt} = 3x^2\frac{dx}{dt} + 2x\frac{dx}{dt}

\frac{dy}{dt} = 3(1)^2(2) + 2(1)(2) = 6 + 4 = 10

y is changing at a rate of 10 units per second.

Zach and Ginny are building model cars. Ginny's car is 2 more than 3 times the length of Zach's car. The sum of the lengths of b
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

x+(3x+2)=30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the length of Zach's car

y ----> the length of Ginny's car

we know that

The sum of the lengths of both cars is 30 inches

so

x+y=30 ----> equation A

Ginny's car is 2 more than 3 times the length of Zach's car

so

y=3x+2 ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

x+(3x+2)=30

How do you find the constant of variation when y=-(2/3) and x=3
Katyanochek1 [597]
You can't. If you think about the straight line on a graph, those numbers
describe a single point that the line goes through, and they don't tell you
anything about the slope of the line, or where it crosses the x-axis or the
y-axis.  So I don't think you can tell the constant of variation from one point.
