Can someone please help me!

Sarah started 3 miles below the rim of the canyon and hiked until she was 8 miles above the rim. Her brother Sam said she hiked

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

We can assume that the rim of the canyon is 0. Sarah started 3 miles below, so -3, BUT distance can never be negative, so it's considered 3 miles. Then, she went 8 miles above zero. So the 3 miles she went before reaching the rim plus the 8 miles she went after reaching the rim equals 11 miles.

So now we know that Sarah is right, but how do we know which equation is correct? Well, if we look at option C:

$|-3+8|=11$

When solving absolute value, we solve everything within the absolute value before applying the absolute value. This means that we add -3+8 first, which equals 5, and then apply absolute value, which still equals 5. This equation is not correct.

I hope this helps!

The function LaTeX: f\left(x\right)=2\cdot5^xf ( x ) = 2 ⋅ 5 x can be used to represent an exponential growth curve. Which of th

masha68 [24]

Answer:

(2,20)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

$f(x) = 2 \cdot \: {5}^{x}$

To see which point is not on this curve, we must substitute the points to see which does not satisfy the equation;

For the first point we substitute x=3 and f(x)=250

$250= 2 \cdot \: {5}^{3} \: \\ 250 = 2 \times 125 \\ 250 = 250$

This is true.

For the second point (2,20), we put x=2 and y=20 to get:

$20= 2 \cdot \: {5}^{2} \\ 20 = 2 \times 25 \\ 20 = 50$

This is false, hence (2,20) does not lie on this curve.

For (1,10), we have:

$10= 2 \cdot \: {5}^{1} \\ 10 = 10$

This is also true

Finally for (2,50), we have;

$50= 2 \cdot \: {5}^{2} \\ 50 = 2 \times 25 \\ 50 = 50$

This is also true.

With double-digit annual percentage increases in the cost of health insurance, more and more workers are likely to lack health i

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

1. χ² = 15.3902

2. The p value is :_____.a. less than .005

3. Conclusion

a. health insurance coverage is not independent of the size of the company

4. The percentages of employees

Small %= 33/50= 0.66

Medium %= 68/75 = 0.91

Large %= 88/100= 0.88

Step-by-step explanation:

1) We set up our null and alternative hypothesis as

H0: the employee health insurance coverage is independent of the size of the company

against the claim

Ha: the employee health insurance coverage is not independent of the size of the company

2) the significance level alpha is set at 0.05

3) the test statistic under H0 is

χ²= ∑ (O - E)²/ E where O is the observed and E is the expected frequency

which has an approximate chi square distribution with ( 3-1) (2-1)= 2 d.f

4) Computations:

Under H0 , the observed frequencies are :

Observed Expected E (O-E) (O-E)² (O-E)²/E

33 42 -9 81 1.928

68 63 5 25 0.3968

88 84 4 16 0.1904

17 8 9 81 10.125

7 12 -5 21 1.75

12 16 -4 16 1

15.3902

Expected Values are calculated using the formula :

Row Total * Column Total / sample size

E1= (33+17) (33+ 68+88)/ 50+75+100= 42

E4= (33+17) (17+ 7+ 12)/ 50+75+100=8

E2= (68+7) (33+ 68+88)/ 50+75+100= 63

E5= (68+7) (17+ 7+ 12)/ 50+75+100= 12

E3= (88+12) (33+ 68+88)/ 50+75+100= 84

E6= (88+12) (17+ 7+ 12)/ 50+75+100= 16

5) The critical region is χ² ≥ χ² (0.05)2 = 5.99

6) Conclusion:

The calculated χ² = 15.3902 falls in the critical region χ² ≥ 5.99 so we reject the null hypothesis that the employee health insurance coverage is NOT independent of the size of the company.

2. The p value is :_____.

a. less than .005

The p-value is .000385.

3. Conclusion

a. health insurance coverage is not independent of the size of the company

4. The percentages of employees

Small %= 33/50= 0.66

Medium %= 68/75 = 0.91

Large %= 88/100= 0.88
