Answer:

(8,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the equation like this: x+x-6=10. You filled in x-6 for y because the second equation says y=x-6. When you solve, you add 6 to both sides of the equation (this is the addition property of equality in geometry). You now have x+x=16. Now, you can combine like terms (this would be the proof combine like terms in geometry) and you would be able to combine like terms because each of those x's are truely 1x+1x because a variable without a coefficient (the number in front of the variable) is an understood 1. So, (1)x+(1)x=2x. So, you have 2x=16. Now, divide by 2 on each side to get that x alone. This is the division property of equality in geometry. You find x=8. You now have the point (8,y) Now to find the y, plug in the 8 for x in one of the equations. If you plug it into the equation x+y=10 you get 8+y=10. Now subtract 8 from both sides (Subtraction property of equality in geometry). y=2. You get the same answer if you plug in 8 for the other equation. y=8-6. 8-6 is 2. Hope this helps! :)

In a simple random sample of 300 boards from this shipment, 12 fall outside these specifications. Calculate the lower confidence

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the percentage of all boards in this shipment that fall outside the specification is (1.8%, 6.2%).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a random sample of 300 boards the number of boards that fall outside the specification is 12.

Compute the sample proportion of boards that fall outside the specification in this sample as follows:

$\hat p =\frac{12}{300}=0.04$

The (1 - α)% confidence interval for population proportion p is:

$CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

The critical value of z for 95% confidence level is,

$z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96$

*Use a z-table.

Compute the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all boards in this shipment that fall outside the specification as follows:

$CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}\\=0.04\pm1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.04(1-0.04)}{300}}\\=0.04\pm0.022\\=(0.018, 0.062)\\\approx(1.8\%, 6.2\%)$

Thus, the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all boards in this shipment that fall outside the specification is (1.8%, 6.2%).

Answer: options A, B and C are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Ray's daily pay,P in dollars is given by the function, p(h) = 10h with h representing the number of hours that he worked on that day. If he worked c hours on Thursday and this is 3 hours more than he worked on Friday, then the following statement is true. We substitute c and c-3 for Thursday and Friday into the given function, p(h) = 10h

A) 10c -3 represents Ray's pay in dollars on Friday.

B) 10c represents Ray's pay in dollars on Thursday.

C) p(c ) - p(c-3) represents how much more Ray's pay was on Thursday than on Friday
