It is recommended that you work this out on graph paper to help answer the questions. Sean plots the locations of 4 places on a

coordinate grid as given below (It is recommended that you work this out on graph paper to help answer the questions.):
His house is at (−4, 5).
His school is at (−4, 3).
The community center is at (6, 3).
The grocery store is at (−4, −9).

Part A: Use absolute values to calculate the distance in units from Sean's house to his school. Show your work. (4 points)

Part B: Is the total distance from Sean's house to the school to the grocery store greater than the total distance from Sean's house to the school to the community center? Justify your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

since the house, the school and the grocery store all have the same x coordinate (-4), they are on the same vertical line of x = -4.

and that means their distances are simply the differences in their y coordinates.

the only one different in that regard is the community center, but it is on the same y coordinate as the school, so the distance to the school is only the difference in their x coordinates.

A

so, the distance from house to school is

|5 - 3| = |3 - 5| = 2

as it is the same distance in either direction.

B

the distance from house to school to grocery store is the distance from house to school plus the distance from school to grocery store :

2 + |3 - -9| = 2 + |-9 - 3| = 2 + 12 = 14

now we need to find the distance from home to school to community center.

that is 2 + the distance from school to community center.

as mentioned above, since the school and the community center have the same y coordinate, their distance is the difference in their x coordinates :

|-4 - 6| = |6 - -4| = 10

so, in total the way house to school to community center is 2 + 10 = 12.

and that is shorter than the way house to school to grocery store, which is 14.

so, yes, the distance house to school to grocery store (14) is greater than the distance house to school to community center (12).

Degree of the polynomial (2x^3)-(x^2+11) .
WARRIOR [948]

First, distribute the terms.

1(2x^3) = 2x^3

-1(x^2+11) = -x^2-11

Standard form:

2x^3 - x^2 - 11

Since there is a 3, the degree of polynomial is cubic.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, citizens remain unemployed for an average of 15.9 weeks before finding their next j
Ahat [919]

Complete Question

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, citizens remain unemployed for an average of 15.9 weeks before finding their next job (June, 2008). Suppose you want to show that Louisiana has been effective in getting their unemployed back to work sooner. You take a random sample of 50 citizens who were unemployed six months earlier and ask them to report the duration. You find that the average time spent unemployed was 13.4 weeks with a sample standard deviation of the time unemployed is 6.7 weeks.

1 Which of the following statements is the correct alternative hypothesis?

2 The test statistic for testing the hypothesis is

a. -2.64

b. -2.32

c. -2.11

d. -1.28

e. none of these are correct

Answer:

1  

 The  alternative hypothesis  H_a  :  \mu < 15.9

2

The  test statistics z =  -2.64  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The population  mean value for time  citizens remain unemployed is  \mu  =  15.9 \  weeks

     The  sample size is  n =  50

     The  sample standard deviation is  6.7 weeks.

      The  sample mean value for time  citizens remain unemployed is  \mu  =  15.9 \  weeks

       

     The  null hypothesis is  H_o  :  \mu \ge 15.9

      The  alternative hypothesis  H_a  :  \mu < 15.9

Generally test statistics is mathematically represented as

       z =  \frac{ \= x  - \mu }{ \frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }  

=>    z =  \frac{13.4 - 15.9}{\frac{6.7}{\sqrt{50}}}

=>     z =  -2.64
