After understanding the problem, formulate equations to determine the unknown. Let x be the price of one book. Equating Alana&Petra's expense with Angus' would be

5x + 4x +5 = 19x - 10

The 5 in the left side is needed because Angus' expense is $5 more. Also, the 10 on the right side represents the $10 discount. Solving the equation,

19x = 9x = 5+10
10x = 15
x = $1.5

Therefore, the book costs $1.5.

Which function in Excel is used to perform a test of independence? a. T.TEST b. CHISQ.TEST c. NORM.S.DIST d. Z.TEST
denis23 [38]

Answer:

b. CHISQ.TEST

Step-by-step explanation:

Notation and previous concepts

A chi-square test is "used to test if the variance of a population is equal to a specified value. This test can be either a two-sided test or a one-sided test. The two-sided version tests against the alternative that the true variance is either less than or greater than the specified value"

The statistic is given by:

\chi^2 = \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{(O_i-E_i)^2}{E_i}

In order to calculate the p value we need to have in count the degrees of freedom , on this case df=(rows-1)(#cols-1). And we can calculate the p value would be given by:

p_v =P(\chi^2 >\chi^2_{calc})

But the correct comand is given by:

b. CHISQ.TEST(Actual range, Expected range)

We just need to put in one column the Observed values and in other the expectec values.

Got this from someone else but it answers your question

O f(x) = -x-1
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to isolate the 'y' variable, so we will subtract 7 from both sides.
y = x + 6 - 7
y = x -1
