Answer:

a = 1

b = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's make equations out of those given f(x)'s

-4 = -3a + b

2 = 3a + b

We can use elimination method to get rid of the a real quick

-4 = b

2 = b

Add those together

-2 = 2b

Divide both sides by 2

-2/2 = 2b/2

b = -1

Plug in the new b in one of the original equations; I'm gonna use the bottom one

2 = 3a - 1

+ 1        + 1

3 = 3a

3/3 = 3a/3

a = 1

eimsori [14]

Answer:

t=\frac{4.2-3.6}{\frac{1.4}{\sqrt{16}}}=1.714

Reject the null hypothesis if the observed "t" value is less than -2.131 or higher than 2.131  

Rejection Zone: t_{calculated} or t_{calculated}>2.131

In our case since our calculated value is not on the rejection zone we don't have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts  and data given  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

\bar X=4.2 represent the sample mean  

s=1.4 represent the sample standard deviation  

n=16 represent the sample selected  

\alpha=0.05 significance level  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.    

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is different from 3.6, the system of hypothesis would be:    

Null hypothesis:\mu = 3.6    

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 3.6    

If we analyze the size for the sample is < 30 and we know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:    

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)    

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".    

Calculate the statistic  

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:    

t=\frac{4.2-3.6}{\frac{1.4}{\sqrt{16}}}=1.714

Critical values

On this case since we have a bilateral test we need to critical values. We need to use the t distribution with df=n-1=16-1=15 degrees of freedom. The value for \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2=0.025 so we need to find on the t distribution with 15 degrees of freedom two values that accumulates 0.025 of the ara on each tail. We can use the following excel codes:

"=T.INV(0.025,15)" "=T.INV(1-0.025,15)"

And we got t_{crit}=\pm 2.131    

So the decision on this case would be:

Reject the null hypothesis if the observed "t" value is less than -2.131 or higher than 2.131  

Rejection Zone: t_{calculated} or t_{calculated}>2.131

Conclusion    

In our case since our calculated value is not on the rejection zone we don't have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance.

A building measure 8.4m wide by 9.3 the rest is in picture
Bad White [126]

Answer:

26.309932 MN  if gravity was normal gravity force and on basis salt water was 1030 kg/m3

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule below is something I just found.

To calculate the force of gravity of an object, use the formula: force of gravity = mg, where m is the mass of the object and g is the acceleration of the object due to gravity. Since g is always 9.8 m/s^2, just multiply the object's mass by 9.8 and you'll get its force of gravity

In a probability experiment, Karen flipped a coin 84 times. The coin landed on heads 36 times. What percentage of the coin flips
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

57.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a coin has only two sides, heads or tails. Therefore if of the 84 times, 36 times he fell in heads, the other times he fell in tails.

84 - 36 = 48 times fell in tails.

Therefore to calculate the percentage that fell in tails, it would be the ratio between the number of times it fell in tails and the total number of experiments:

48/84 = 0.571, and that is 57.1%

Which means that 57.1% of the times the coin was thrown fell into tails.
