Answer:

(a) 7 essays and 29 multiple questions

(b) Your friend is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent multiple choice with M and essay with E.

So:

M + E= 36 --- Number of questions

2M + 6E = 100 --- Points

Solving (a): Number of question of each type.

Make E the subject of formula in M + E= 36

E = 36 - M

Substitute 36 - M for E in 2M + 6E = 100

2M + 6(36 - M) = 100

2M + 216 - 6M = 100

Collect Like Terms

2M - 6M = 100 - 216

-4M = - 116

Divide both sides by -4

M = \frac{-116}{-4}

M = 29

Substitute 29 for M in E = 36 - M

E = 36 - 29

E = 7

Solving (b): Can the multiple questions worth 4 points each?

It is not possible.

See explanation.

If multiple question worth 4 points each, then

2M + 6E = 100 would be:

4M + xE = 100

Where x represents the number of points for essay questions.

Substitute 7 for E and 29 for M.

4 * 29 + x * 7 = 100

116 + 7x = 100

Subtract 116 from both sides

116-116 + 7x = 100 -116

7x = 100-116

7x = -16

Make x the subject

x = -\frac{16}{7}

Since the essay question can not have worth negative points.

Then, it is impossible to have the multiple questions worth 4 points

Which graph represents the function f (x) = StartFraction 2 x minus 1 Over x minus 1 EndFraction?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

The correct description of the graph:

<em>"One curve opens up and to the right in quadrant 1, and the other curve down and to the left in </em><em>quadrants </em><em>2, 1, and 4."</em>

<h3>Which graph is the graph of the given functions?</h3>

Here we have the function:

f(x) = \frac{2x - 1}{x - 1}

The graph of this function can be seen below:

Then we can see that a curve opens up on quadrant 1, and down on quadrants 2 and 3 (it pass throw quadrant 1 for a little bit).

Then the correct option is:

<em>"One curve opens up and to the right in </em><em>quadrant </em><em>1, and the other curve down and to the left in </em><em>quadrants </em><em>2, 1, and 4."</em>

A production line operation is designed to fill cartons with laundry detergent to a mean weight of 32 ounces. A sample of carton
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The null hypothesis states that

The production line operation fills cartons with laundry detergent to a mean weight of 32 ounces.

H0 : µ = 32

The alternative hypothesis states that

The production line operation overfills or under fills cartons with the laundry detergent to a mean weight of above or below 32 ounces.

Ha : µ ≠ 32

b) when the calculations are done and the p value is determined, then it would be compared with the level of significance

When the significance level is lesser than the p value, we do not reject H0 because there is no sufficient evidence to conclude that the production line operation overfills or under fills cartons.

c) When the significance level is greater than the p value, we would reject H0 because there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the production line operation overfills or under fills cartons.
