Answer 1

Answer:

no solution because the answer will be p=2

10 - [ 8p + 3 ] = 9 [ 2p - 5 ]

10 - 8p - 3 = [ 2p - 5 ]

-8p + 10 - 3 = [ 2p - 5 ]

p = 2 We need to get rid of expression parentheses.

If there is a negative sign in front of it, each term within the expression changes sign.

Otherwise, the expression remains unchanged.

In our example, the following 2 terms will change sign:

8p, 3

Point R divides PG in the ratio 1:3. If the x-coordinate of R is -1 and the x-coordinate of P is -3, what is the x-coordinate of Q

Answers

Answer:

option C . 5

Step-by-step explanation:

For two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) divided by a point p in ratio m:n then coordinates of that point is given by

p    :  (nx1+mx2)/(m+n),  (ny1+my2)/(m+n),  

Given

x coordinate of P (-3)

x  coordinate of Q (a) since we have to find it , let it be a

x coordinate of R(-1)\

ratio = 1:3

_______________________________________

Using the above formula to find the point of division

we can get value of x coordinate for point Q

x  coordinate of R = 3*-3 + 1*a/(1+3)

-1 = (-9 + a)/4

=> -4 = -9 +a

=>a = -4+9 = 5

Thus, x  coordinate of Q is 5

Answer:

[tex]IQR=Q_{3}-Q_{1}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The inter-quartile range is a measure of dispersion of a data set.

It is the difference between the third and the first quartile.

[tex]IQR=Q_{3}-Q_{1}[/tex]

The 1st quartile (Q₁) is well defined as the mid-value amid the minimum figure and the median of the data set. The 2nd quartile (Q₂) is the median of the data. The 3rd quartile (Q₃) is the mid-value amid the median and the maximum figure of the data set.

Using Eulers formula, how many edges does a polyhedron with 9 faces and 14 vertices have?

Answers

By Euler's Formula

F + V = E + 2

Solution

F = 9

V = 14

E = ?

Substuting the values

⇨ 9 + 14 = E + 2

⇨ 23 = E + 2

⇨ 23 - 2 = E

⇨ 21 = E

Hence , the number of edges in polyhedron is 21.

The number of edges of a polyhedron with 9 faces and 14 vertices have will be 21.

a^2 = 2^2 + 4^2 - 2(2)(4)cos78
a = 4.08
a = 4.1

Answer:

a = 4.1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the missing side in the question, we use the cosine rule

That's

Since we are finding a we use the formula

a² = b² + c² - 2(b)(c) cos A

From the question

b = 2

c = 4

A = 78°

Substitute the values into the above formula

We have

a² = 2² + 4² - 2(2)(4) cos 78

a² = 4 + 16 - 16 cos 78

a² = 20 - 16cos 78

a² = 16.67341

Find the square root of both sides

a = 4.0833

We have the final answer as

a = 4.1 to the nearest tenth

Suppose that the credit remaining on a phone card (in dollars) is a linear function of the total calling time (in minutes). When graphed, the function gives a line with a slope of -0.12. See the figure below. There is $28.96 in credit remaining on the card after minutes of calls. How much credit was there after 21 minutes of calls?

Answers

Answer:

Credit remaining after 21 minutes = $30.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Credit remaining on a phone card is a linear function of the total calling time.

When graphed, let the linear function representing the line is,

y = mx + b

Where 'm' = slope of the line

b = y-intercept

From the graph,

Slope of the line = -0.12

y = -0.12x + b

If this line passes through a point (33, 28.96),

28.96 = -0.12(33) + b

b = 28.96 + 3.96

b = 32.92

Therefore, the linear function is,

f(x) = -0.12x + 32.92

where x = calling time

Credit left in the card after 21 minutes,

f(21) = -0.12(21) + 32.92

      = -2.52 + 32.92

      = $30.4

The height of an object dropped from the top of a 144-foot building is given by ℎ(. How long will it take the object to hit the ground?)=―162+144

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: h(t) = -16t2 + 144

h(1) = -16(12) + 144 = 128 ft

h(2) = -16(22) + 144 = 80 ft

h(2) - h(1) = 80 - 128 = -48 ft

It fell 48 ft between t = 1 and t = 2 seconds.

It reaches the ground when h(t) = 0

0 = -16t2 + 144

t = √(144/16) s = 3s

It reaches the ground 3s after being dropped.

The   criteria are met    

A

    The sample proportion is  [tex]\r p = 0.47[/tex]

   This 95% confidence interval  mean that the the chance of the true    population proportion of those that are happy to be exist within the upper   and the lower limit  is  95%

 Yes our result would support the claim because

            [tex]\frac{1}{3 } \ of N < \frac{1}{2} (50\%) \ of \ N , \ Where\ N \ is \ the \ population\ size[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The sample size is  [tex]n = 500[/tex]

     The sample proportion is  [tex]\r p = 0.47[/tex]

 

Generally the number of successes is mathematical represented as

             [tex]k = n * \r p[/tex]

substituting values

             [tex]k = 500 * 0.47[/tex]

            [tex]k = 235[/tex]

Generally the number of failure  is mathematical represented as

           [tex]y = n * (1 -\r p )[/tex]

substituting values

           [tex]y = 500 * (1 - 0.47 )[/tex]

           [tex]y = 265[/tex]

for approximate normality for a confidence interval  criteria to be satisfied

          [tex]np > 5 \ and \ n(1- p ) \ >5[/tex]

Given that the above is true for this survey then we can say that the criteria are met

  Given that the confidence level is  95%  then the level of confidence is mathematically evaluated as

                       [tex]\alpha = 100 - 95[/tex]

                        [tex]\alpha = 5 \%[/tex]

                        [tex]\alpha =0.05[/tex]

Next we obtain the critical value of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table, the value is

                 [tex]Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } = 1.96[/tex]

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

                [tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{ \frac{\r p (1- \r p}{n} }[/tex]

substituting values

                 [tex]E = 1.96 * \sqrt{ \frac{0.47 (1- 0.47}{500} }[/tex]

                 [tex]E = 0.044[/tex]

=>               [tex]E =4.4 \%[/tex]

What this mean is that for N number of times the survey is carried out that the proportion obtain will differ from  the true population proportion of those that are happy by more than 4.4%

The 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as

          [tex]\r p - E < p < \r p + E[/tex]

substituting values

        [tex]0.47 - 0.044 < p < 0.47 + 0.044[/tex]

         [tex]0.426 < p < 0.514[/tex]

The upper limit of the 95% confidence interval is  [tex]r = 0.514 = 51.4 \%[/tex]

The lower limit of the   95% confidence interval is  [tex]v = 0.426 = 42.6 \%[/tex]

This 95% confidence interval  mean that the the chance of the true population proportion of those that are happy to be exist within the upper and the lower limit  is  95%

Given that 50% of the population proportion  lie with the 95% confidence interval  the it correct to say that it is reasonably likely that a majority of U.S. adults were happy at that time

What is your final decision: do you reject the null or fail to reject the null?

Answers

Answer:

a) and b)  Look step by step explanation

c) z(s) = - 12,07

d) z(c) = - 1,64

e) Final decision: Reject H₀

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume Normal Distribution

Data:

Sample population  n   = 1200

Sample mean         μ  =    3

Sample Standard deviation   2,87

Claim mean      μ₀  =  4

α = 0,05  then from z-table we find  z(c) = 1,64   ( critical value )

We need to develop a one tail-test to the left

Test Hypothesis

The General Society developed a survey ( in all cases that is an indication of a sample)

Null hypothesis                    H₀                      μ   =  μ₀

Alternative hypothesis        Hₐ                       μ  <  μ₀

To calculate the  z(s)

z(s) =  ( μ  -  μ₀ )/ 2,87/√n

z(s) =  ( 3 - 4 )/ 2,87/√1200

z(s) =   -1 * 34,64 / 2,87

z(s) = - 12,07

To compare  z(s) and z(c)

z(s)  <  z(c)           - 12,07 < - 1,64

z(s) is in the rejection region (quite far away) we reject H₀

Data provide enough evidence to disprove the claim

Use the given data to find the minimum sample size required to estimate the population proportion. Margin of error: 0.028; confidence level: 99%; p and q unknown

Answers

Answer:

The minimum sample size is [tex]n = 2123[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The margin of error is  [tex]E = 0.028[/tex]

   

Given that the confidence level is  99% then the level of significance is evaluated as

        [tex]\alpha = 100 - 99[/tex]

        [tex]\alpha = 1 \%[/tex]

        [tex]\alpha =0.01[/tex]

Next we obtain the critical value of  [tex]\frac{ \alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table

   The  value is  [tex]Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } = 2.58[/tex]

Now let  assume that the sample proportion is  [tex]\r p = 0.5[/tex]

  hence  [tex]\r q = 1 - \r p[/tex]

=>            [tex]\r q = 0.50[/tex]

   Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as

                [tex]n =[ \frac{Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} }}{ E} ]^2 * \r p * \r q[/tex]

                [tex]n =[ \frac{2.58}{ 0.028} ]^2 * 0.5 * 0.5[/tex]

              [tex]n = 2123[/tex]

Jane and her two friends will rent an apartment for S550 a month, but Jane will pay double what each friend does because she will have her own bedroom.
How much will Jane pay a month?

Answers

Answer:

$275 a month

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent how much each friend is paying.

The amount Jane pays can be represented by 2x, since she is paying double than her friends.

Add together these terms and set them equal to 550. Then, solve for x:

x + x + 2x = 550

4x = 550

x = 137.5

So, each friend is paying $137.50. Double this to find how much Jane is paying:

137.5(2)

= 275

So, Jane is paying $275 a month

Answers

Answer:

Rs. 80 is owed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Principle (P) = 2000

Time (T) = 2 years

Rate (R) = 2%

Interest (I) = ?

Here,

I = (P×T×R) / 100

= (2000×2×2) / 100

= Rs. 80

Answer:

P= 2000

T= 2

R=2÷100

I = PTR
