Answer:

B: x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+6=1

5x+6-6=1-6

simplify

divide by 5 on both sides

x=-1

Seven pieces of rope have an average (arithmetic mean) length of 68 centimeters and a median length of 84 centimeters. If the le

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

The maximum possible length, in centimeters, of the longest piece of rope is 134 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the seven pieces be a,b,c,d,e,f,g

Average of 7 pieces of ropes =68

$Average = \frac{\text{Sum of all lengths}}{\text{No. of pieces}}$

$68= \frac{\text{Sum of all lengths}}{7}$

$68 \times 7 =\text{a+b+c+d+e+f+g}$

$476=\text{a+b+c+d+e+f+g}$ --A

We are given that the median length of a piece of rope is 84 centimeters.

We arrange the pieces in the ascending order

So, median will be the length of 4th piece

So, d = 84 cm

the length of piece a,b,c will be less than 84 and the value of e,f,g must be greater than or equal to 84

Let us suppose the length of a,b,c be x

Let us suppose the length of e,f be 84

The length of the longest piece of rope is 14 centimeters more than 4 times the length of the shortest piece of rope

So, g = 4x+14

Substitute the value in A

$476=x+x+x+84+84+84+4x+14$

$476=7x+266$

$\frac{476-266}{7}=x$

$30=x$

g = 4x+14=4(30)+14=134

Hence the maximum possible length, in centimeters, of the longest piece of rope is 134 cm

A group of researchers wants to know whether men are more likely than women to contract a novel coronavirus. They surveyed two r

olasank [31]

Answer:

Test statistic Z= 0.13008 < 1.96 at 0.10 level of significance

null hypothesis is accepted

There is no difference proportion of positive tests among men is different from the proportion of positive tests among women

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Step(I)</em>:-

Given surveyed two random samples of 390 men and 360 women who were tested

first sample proportion

$p_{1} = \frac{360}{390} = 0.9230$

second sample proportion

$p_{2} = \frac{47}{52} = 0.9038$

Step(ii):-

Null hypothesis : H₀ : There is no difference proportion of positive tests among men is different from the proportion of positive tests among women

Alternative Hypothesis:-

There is difference between proportion of positive tests among men is different from the proportion of positive tests among women

$Z = \frac{p_{1}- p_{2} }{\sqrt{PQ(\frac{1}{n_{1} }+\frac{1}{n_{2} } } }$

where

$P = \frac{n_{1}p_{1} +n_{2} p_{2} }{n_{1}+n_{2} }$

P = 0.920

$Z= \frac{0.9230-0.9038}{\sqrt{0.920 X0.08(\frac{1}{390}+\frac{1}{52} } )}$

Test statistic Z = 0.13008

Level of significance = 0.10

The critical value Z₀.₁₀ = 1.645

Test statistic Z=0.13008 < 1.645 at 0.1 level of significance

Null hypothesis is accepted

There is no difference proportion of positive tests among men is different from the proportion of positive tests among women

Find two numbers whose difference is 154 and whose product is a minimum.

Serggg [28]

Y - x = 154
let z = xy = x(154 + x) = x^2 + 154x

we need to find the minimum value of z

z' = 2x + 154 which = zero for minm or maxm value

x = -77 and y = 154 -77 = 77

so the 2 numbers are -77 and 77
