Answer:

y = -x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem we use point-slope formula:

y-y1 = m (x2-x1)

When we plug in our values, it looks like this:

y-(-1) = -1 (x-(-5))

When we rearrange into slope-intercept form, we get this:

y = -x-6

If 3(r+300)=6, then what would be the value of r+300-2?

saveliy_v [14]

Solve for r in the first equation:

3(r+300) = 6

Use the distributive property:

3r + 900 = 6

Subtract 900 from both sides:

3r = -894

Divide both sides by 3:

r = -894 / 3

r = -298

Now you have r, replace r in the second equation and solve:

r +300 -2 =

-298 + 300 - 2 = 0

The answer is 0.

Andrea enjoys running. She keeps a daily journal to record how far she runs. She wears a pedometer to calculate the exact distan

Neko [114]

Answer:

14.225 kilometers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Monday 3.6

Tuesday 4.705

Wednesday 5.92

By using the addition operation, the total distance, in kilometers, that Andrea ran over the three days will be :

3.6 +4.705 +5.92=14.225

Hence, the total distance that Andrea ran over the three days = 14.225 kilometers.

If you buy tomato sauce for $.90 a quart how much does it cost for 5 pints

Dima020 [189]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: the price of 5 pints of tomato sauce is $2.25.

To calculate how much does it cost 5 pints, we need to perform a unit conversion with the following unit relationship:

$0.5Quart=Pints$

Now, calculating how much is a pint:

$\frac{0.9}{quarter}*\frac{0.5Quart}{1Pint}=0.45$

A pint is $0.45.

Then, calculating how much are 5 pints:

$Price=0.45*NoOfPints=0.45*5=2.25$

Hence, the price of 5 pints of tomato sauce is $2.25.

Have a nice day!

In a completely randomized experimental design, three brands of paper towels were tested for their ability to absorb water. Equa

arlik [135]

Answer:

Yes. At this significance level, there is evidence to support the claim that there is a difference in the ability of the brands to absorb water.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The question is incomplete:</em>

<em>The significance level is 0.05.</em>

<em>Brand X: 91, 100, 88, 89</em>

<em>Brand Y: 99, 96, 94, 99</em>

<em>Brand Z: 83, 88, 89, 76</em>

We have to check if there is a significant difference between the absorbency rating of each brand.

Null hypothesis: all means are equal

$H_0:\mu_x=\mu_y=\mu_z$

Alternative hypothesis: the means are not equal

$H_a: \mu_x\neq\mu_y\neq\mu_z$

We have to apply a one-way ANOVA

We start by calculating the standard deviation for each brand:

$s_x^2=30,\,\,s_y^2=6,\,\,s_z^2=35.33$

Then, we calculate the mean standard error (MSE):

$MSE=(\sum s_i^2)/a=(30+6+35.33)/3=71.33/3=23.78$

Now, we calculate the mean square between (MSB), but we previously have to know the sample means and the mean of the sample means:

$M_x=92,\,\,M_y=97,\,\,M_z=84\\\\M=(92+97+84)/3=91$

The MSB is then:

$s^2=\dfrac{\sum(M_i-M)^2}{N-1}\\\\\\s^2=\dfrac{(92-91)^2+(97-91)^2+(84-91)^2}{3-1}\\\\\\s^2=\dfrac{1+36+49}{2}=\dfrac{86}{2}=43\\\\\\\\MSB=ns^2=4*43=172$

Now we calculate the F statistic as:

$F=MSB/MSE=172/23.78=7.23$

The degrees of freedom of the numerator are:

$dfn=a-1=3-1=2$

The degrees of freedom of the denominator are:

$dfd=N-a=3*4-3=12-3=9$

The P-value of F=7.23, dfn=2 and dfd=9 is:

$P-value=P(F>7.23)=0.01342$

As the P-value (0.013) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the null hypothesis is rejected.

There is evidence to support the claim that there is a difference in the ability of the brands to absorb water.
