Answer:

f⁻¹(x) = 4x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse of a function, switch the places of x and y (or f(x)).

f(x) = 1/4x + 1/2 → y = 1/4x + 1/2

Switch the variables.

x = 1/4y + 1/2

Now you want to convert the equation back into y = mx + b form.

x = 1/4y + 1/2

Subtract 1/2 from both sides.

x - 1/2 = 1/4y

Now, you want to isolate y further by dividing both sides by 1/4 (or multiplying by 4).

4(x - 1/2) = y

Distribute the 4.

4x - 2 = y → y = 4x - 2 → f⁻¹(x) = 4x - 2

This is the inverse of your given function.

Answer:

a) H0: $\sigma = 1.34$

H1: $\sigma \neq 1.34$

b) $df = n-1= 10-1=9$

And the critical values with $\alpha/2=0.005$ on each tail are:

$\chi_{\alpha/2}= 1.735, \chi_{1-\alpha/2}= 23.589$

c) $t=(10-1) [\frac{1.186}{1.34}]^2 =7.05$

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

$\sigma_o =1.34$ the value that we want to test

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test

t represent the statistic (chi square test)

$\alpha=0.01$ 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: $\sigma = 1.34$

H1: $\sigma \neq 1.34$

The statistic is given by:

$t=(n-1) [\frac{s}{\sigma_o}]^2$

Part b

The degrees of freedom are given by:

$df = n-1= 10-1=9$

And the critical values with $\alpha/2=0.005$ on each tail are:

$\chi_{\alpha/2}= 1.735, \chi_{1-\alpha/2}= 23.589$

Part c

Replacing the info we got:

$t=(10-1) [\frac{1.186}{1.34}]^2 =7.05$

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

Find the median number of magazines purchased in a store by 4 customers. 10, 55 , 34, 21

kkurt [141]

Median of 10, 55, 34, 21

First we arrange number in ascending or descending

10, 21, 34, 55 in ascending.

Median is the middle number and this is between 21 and 34.

We find the average:

(21 + 34) /2 = 55/2 = 27.5

Median is 27.5.
