What is the mean absolute deviation of the following set of data 4 6 2 8

When graphed, which function has a horizontal asymptote at 4?

galben [10]

Answer:

Correct answer: C. f(x) = 2(3)x + 4

(please note we changed the expression of the function to exponential form which we believe is the correct form of the question)

Step-by-step explanation:

Horizontal Asymptote

The graph of a function is said to have a horizontal asymptote at y=a if one or both the following limits exist

$\lim\limits_{x \rightarrow \infty}f(x)=a$

$\lim\limits_{x \rightarrow -\infty}f(x)=a$

The horizontal asymptotes are horizontal lines to which the function tends when x increases or decreases without limits.

Let's analyze each one of the options provided:

A. f(x) = 2x -4

$\lim\limits_{x \rightarrow \infty}(2x-4)=+\infty$

$\lim\limits_{x \rightarrow -\infty}(2x-4)=-\infty$

No horizontal asymptote

B. f(x) = -3x + 4

$\lim\limits_{x \rightarrow \infty}(-3x+4)=-\infty$

$\lim\limits_{x \rightarrow -\infty}(-3x+4)=\infty$

No horizontal asymptote

C. f(x) = 2\cdot 3^x + 4

$\lim\limits_{x \rightarrow \infty}(2\cdot 3^x + 4)=2\cdot 3^\infty + 4=\infty$

$\lim\limits_{x \rightarrow \infty}(2\cdot 3^x + 4)=2\cdot 3^{-\infty} + 4=0+4=4$

This function has a horizontal asymptote at y=4

D. 3\cdot 2^x -4

$\lim\limits_{x \rightarrow \infty}(3\cdot 2^x - 4)=3\cdot 2^\infty - 4=\infty$

$\lim\limits_{x \rightarrow \infty}(3\cdot 2^x- 4)=3\cdot 2^{-\infty} - 4=0-4=-4$

This function has a horizontal asymptote at y=-4

Correct answer: C.

The null and alternative hypotheses are given. Determine whether the hypothesis test is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed

NNADVOKAT [17]

Correct clear question is;

The null and alternative hypotheses are given. Determine whether the hypothesis test is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed. What parameter is being tested? H_0: μ = 5 H_1: μ ≠ 5

Is the hypothesis test left-tailed, right tailed, or two tailed? A Left tailed B Right tailed C Two tailed

What parameter is being used? A population proportion B population mean C standard deviation

Answer:

A) C - Two tailed hypothesis

B) B - Population mean

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the hypotheses to be;. Null Hypothesis; H_0: μ = 5

Alternative hypothesis; H_1: μ ≠ 5

From the alternative hypothesis, we can see that the critical area of distribution of the parameter being tested could either be less than 5 or greater than 5 due to the not equal to sign. This means it could either be left tailed or right tailed. Thus, it is a two tailed hypothesis.

From the hypothesis, we see that the symbol μ is being used.

In statistics, μ is generally used as a symbol to denote population mean.

Thus, parameter being used/tested is population mean

Identify which values are solutions of 4x-7>=-1

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

x=1.5

or

x=1 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-7>-1

add 7 to both sides

4x=6

divide by 4 on both sides

x=1.5

or

x=1 1/2

A sphere is not a polyhedron true or false?

lesya [120]

it is false because a sphere is basically a three- dimensional circle. It is a polyhedron.

Suppose that $2000 is invested at a rate of 2.6% , compounded semiannually. Assuming that no withdrawals are made, find the tota

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

$2,589.52

Step-by-step explanation:

$A = P(1 + \dfrac{r}{n})^{nt}$

We start with the compound interest formula above, where

A = future value

P = principal amount invested

r = annual rate of interest written as a decimal

n = number of times interest is compound per year

t = number of years

For this problem, we have

P = 2000

r = 0.026

n = 2

t = 10,

and we find A.

$A = $2000(1 + \dfrac{0.026}{2})^{2 \times 10}$

$A = $2589.52$
