We have been given that Jackson purchases a new car for $48,000. The car's value can be modeled by the following exponential function:
where y represents the car's value and t represents time in years. We are asked to find the decay rate as a percentage.
We know that an exponential decay function is in form
, where,
y = Final value,
a = Initial value,
r = Decay rate in decimal form,
x = time.
Upon comparing our given function
with standard decay function
, we can see that
.
Let us solve for r.



Let us convert 0.24 into percentage.

Therefore, the decay rate is 24%.
Answer:
32/21
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply (2/3) by (7/7) and (6/7) by (3/3). (14/21) + (18/21) is (32/21)
Answer: 1/2x -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Half of x , less 5. (5 less just means subtract)
Answer:
a) H0:
H1:
b) 
And the critical values with
on each tail are:

c)
d) For this case since the critical value is not higher or lower than the critical values we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true deviation is not significantly different from 1.34
Step-by-step explanation:
Information provided
n = 10 sample size
s= 1.186 the sample deviation
the value that we want to test
represent the p value for the test
t represent the statistic (chi square test)
significance level
Part a
On this case we want to test if the true deviation is 1,34 or no, so the system of hypothesis are:
H0:
H1:
The statistic is given by:
Part b
The degrees of freedom are given by:

And the critical values with
on each tail are:

Part c
Replacing the info we got:
Part d
For this case since the critical value is not higher or lower than the critical values we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true deviation is not significantly different from 1.34
