Answer:

x > 5

Step-by-step explanation:

-5-7x < -40

Add 5 to each side

-5+5-7x < -40+5

-7x < -35

Divide by -7, remembering to flip the inequality

-7x/-7 > -35/-7

x > 5

Open circle at 5, going to the right

Heather was asked to graph 3x - y = -4 by using slope and y-intercept. Her graph is shown.

irakobra [83]

Hello! The y-intercept is (0, 4), because the line crosses 0 in the x-axis at that point. We can cross out C and D, because those don't show that. The slope is rise/run. You would go up 3, and go to the right once. If you need to, solve for slope by doing y2 - y1/ x2 - x1. Let's use the point (0, 4) and (1, 7) as an example. We would set it up like this: 7 - 4 / 1 - 0. Solving that would give us 3/1 or just simply three. The slope is positive 3 and the y-intercept is (0, 4). The answer is A.

Last year, 50% of MNM. Inc. employees were female. It is believed that there has been a reduction in the percentage of females i

Serhud [2]

Answer:

We conclude that there has been a significant reduction in the proportion of females.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 400

p = 50% = 0.5

Alpha, α = 0.05

Number of women, x = 118

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

$H_{0}: p = 0.50\\H_A: p < 0.50$

This is a one-tailed test.

Formula:

$\hat{p} = \dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{118}{400} = 0.45$

$z = \dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}$

Putting the values, we get,

$z = \displaystyle\frac{0.45-0.50}{\sqrt{\frac{0.50(1-0.50)}{400}}} = -2$

Now, we calculate the critical value.

Now, $z_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance } = -1.645$

Since the calculated z-statistic is less than the critical value, we fail to accept the null hypothesis and reject it. We accept the alternate hypothesis.

Thus, there has been a significant reduction in the proportion of females.

How many times longer is the diameter of a grain of sand than the diameter of the average cell in the human body? Show your work

oee [108]

<span>A grain of sand has a diameter of slightly over 1 mm and the average diameter of a human cell is 8 micrometers. Putting them into common terms (meters) gives: 1.03 * 10^-3 m and 8*10^-6 m, respectively. Dividing the two to give a ratio leads to a value of (1.03*10^-3)/(8*10^-6), or 128.75 times longer for the grain of sand.</span>
