What is the slope of a line through the points (-4, 6) and (4,-2)

A public bus company official claims that the mean waiting time for bus number 14 during peak hours is less than 10 minutes. Kar

Answer:

We conclude that the mean waiting time is less than 10 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a public bus company official claims that the mean waiting time for bus number 14 during peak hours is less than 10 minutes.

Karen took bus number 14 during peak hours on 18 different occasions. Her mean waiting time was 7.8 minutes with a standard deviation of 2.5 minutes.

Let $\mu$ = mean waiting time for bus number 14.

So, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $\mu \geq$ 10 minutes {means that the mean waiting time is more than or equal to 10 minutes}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : $\mu$ < 10 minutes {means that the mean waiting time is less than 10 minutes}

The test statistics that would be used here One-sample t test statistics as we don't know about the population standard deviation;

T.S. = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ $t_n_-_1$

where, $\bar X$ = sample mean waiting time = 7.8 minutes

s = sample standard deviation = 2.5 minutes

n = sample of different occasions = 18

So, test statistics = $\frac{7.8-10}{\frac{2.5}{\sqrt{18} } }$ ~ $t_1_7$

= -3.734

The value of t test statistics is -3.734.

Now, at 0.01 significance level the t table gives critical value of -2.567 for left-tailed test.

Since our test statistic is less than the critical value of t as -3.734 < -2.567, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which we reject our null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that the mean waiting time is less than 10 minutes.

Find the midpoint of NP⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ given N(2a, 2b) and P(2a, 0).

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

(2a, b )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

[ $\frac{1}{2}$ (x₁ + x₂ ), $\frac{1}{2}$ (y₁ + y₂ ) ]

Here (x₁, y₁ ) = N(2a, 2b) and (x₂, y₂ ) = P(2a, 0), thus

midpoint = [ $\frac{1}{2}$ (2a + 2a), $\frac{1}{2}$ (2b + 0 ) ] = (2a, b )

1. If a side started out with a side length of 11 and ended with a side length of 71 what is the dilation's scale factor? Write

jeka57 [31]

Regarding dilation, it is found that:

1. The scale factor is of 6.45

2. The scale factor is of 1.4375.

3. the image will be smaller than the pre-image.

<h3>Dilation</h3>

A dilation is one type of transformation that is applied to images, in which the side lengths are multiplied by a constant called scale factor, changing the side lengths of the image.

In item a, the initial length was of 11 and the final length is of 71, hence the multiplier, which is the scale factor, is given as follows:

71/11 = 6.45.

In item b, the initial length was of 16 and the final length was of 23, hence the scale factor is given as follows:

23/16 = 1.4375.

For item 3, the multiplier is a number that is less than 1, meaning that the image is smaller than the pre-image.

The coordinates of A and B are (3k, 8) and (k, -3) respectively. Given that the gradient of the line segment AB is 3, find the v

Vladimir [108]

Step-by-step explanation:

gradient = slope or several other words.

it describes how strongly a line (or tangent to a bent curve) is going up or down or ... if it is changing at all.

it is represented by the ratio

(y coordinate change / x coordinate change)

when going from one point on the line to another.

in our case, when going from A to B we have

x changes by -2k (from 3k to k).

y changes by -11 (from 8 to -3).

so, the gradient or slope is

-11/-2k = 3

11/2k = 3

11 = 3×2k = 6k

k = 11/6

A = (33/6, 8) = (11/2, 8)

B = (11/6, -3)

Can you help me with number 3? Please!!!!

Fantom [35]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Take it step by step.

The area of a rectangle is width times length.

We know the length is 7 since it's given, and we can find the width by adding shared sides of the square and triangle.

So the width is 10 + 14 or 24

That means the area of the rectangle is 7 * 24

The area of the second rectangle is 12 * 14, since they are both given.

Finally, the area of the triangle is 1/2 of the base times height and we can find the height by looking at the shared side and using the definition of a rectangle.

So the area of the triangle is 1/2 of 10 * 12.
