Consider the equation 5 – 3(2x – 7) = 12 – 5(x – 2). Is x = 2 a solution to this
equation? Is x = 4 a solution to this equation? Explain your reasoning in each case

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

5 – 3(2x – 7) = 12 – 5(x – 2)

Substitute x=2

5 – 3(2*2 – 7) = 12 – 5(2 – 2)

5 – 3(-3) = 12 – 5(0)

5 - 3*(-3) = 12

5+9 = 12

14=12

This is false so it is not a solution

5 – 3(2x – 7) = 12 – 5(x – 2)

Substitute x=5

5 – 3(2*4 – 7) = 12 – 5(4 – 2)

5 – 3(8-7) = 12 – 5(2)

5 - 3*1 = 12-10

5-3 = 2

2=2

This is true so it is  a solution

A tiling company completes two jobs. The first job has $1200 in labor expenses for 40 hours worked, while the second job has $1560 in labor expenses for 52 hours worked. The relationship between the labor expenses and the hours worked is linear. Which equation can be used to calculate the y-intercept of the linear equation? ​

Answers

Answer: 1560 = 30(52) + b

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the straight line passes through two points which are (40, 1200) and (52, 1560). Then, the equation if the straight line will be:

y - 1560 = (1200 - 1560)/(40 - 52) (x - 52)

y - 1560 = (-360)/(-12) (x - 52)

y - 1560 = 30(x - 52)

Lets put the value of x to be 0.

y - 1560 = 30(x - 52)

y - 1560 = 30(0 - 52)

y - 1560 = -30(52)

Therefore, 1560 = 30(52) + b

A survey of 35 people was conducted to compare their self-reported height to their actual height. The difference between reported height and actual height was calculated. You're testing the claim that the mean difference is greater than 0.7. From the sample, the mean difference was 0.95, with a standard deviation of 0.44. Calculate the test statistic, rounded to two decimal place

Answers

Answer:

The test statistic is t = 3.36.

Step-by-step explanation:

You're testing the claim that the mean difference is greater than 0.7.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the mean difference is of 0.7 or less, that is:

[tex]H_0: \mu \leq 0.7[/tex]

At the alternate hypothesis, we test if the mean difference is greater than 0.7, that is:

[tex]H_1: \mu > 0.7[/tex]

The test statistic is:

[tex]t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

0.7 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 0.7[/tex]

A survey of 35 people was conducted to compare their self-reported height to their actual height.

This means that [tex]n = 35[/tex]

From the sample, the mean difference was 0.95, with a standard deviation of 0.44.

This means that [tex]X = 0.95, s = 0.44[/tex]

Calculate the test statistic

[tex]t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{0.95 - 0.7}{\frac{0.44}{\sqrt{35}}}[/tex]

[tex]t = 3.36[/tex]

The test statistic is t = 3.36.

Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) is among a group of organic pollutants found in a variety of products, such as coolants, insulating materials, and lubricants in electrical equipment. Disposal of items containing less than 50 parts per million (ppm) PCB is generally not regulated. A certain kind of small capacitor contains PCB with a mean of 48.3 ppm and a standard deviation of 8 ppm. The Environmental Protection Agency takes a random sample of 40 of these small capacitors, planning to regulate the disposal of such capacitors if the sample mean amount of PCB is 48.5 ppm or more. Find the probability that the disposal of such capacitors will be regulated. Carry your intermediate comp

Answers

Answer:

0.4364 = 43.64% probability that the disposal of such capacitors will be regulated.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Mean of 48.3 ppm and a standard deviation of 8 ppm.

This means that [tex]\mu = 48.3, \sigma = 8[/tex]

Sample of 40:

This means that [tex]n = 40, s = \frac{8}{\sqrt{40}}[/tex]

Find the probability that the disposal of such capacitors will be regulated.

Sample mean above 48.5, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 48.5. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{48.5 - 48.3}{\frac{8}{\sqrt{40}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.16[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.16[/tex] has a p-value of 0.5636.

1 - 0.5636 = 0.4364

0.4364 = 43.64% probability that the disposal of such capacitors will be regulated.

On their way up the hill, Jack and Jill were stopped by their parents. It seems the two of them were trying to skip out on some chores. They were told to mow the lawn, clean the kitchen, and sweep the leaves off the deck. If Jack can complete all the chores in 3 hours by himself and Jill takes only 2.25 hours to get all of it done on her own, how many minutes will it take for the two of them to get the work done together

Answers

Answer:

77.14 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jack's time = 3 hours

Jill's time = 2.25 hours = 2 1/4 = 9/4 hours

Combined time = x

Rates :

Jack = 1/3 ; jill = 1 / 2.25 = 1 / 9/4 = 4 /9

Combined rate = 1/x

Setting up the equation :

1/3 + 4/9 = 1/x

Lcm of 3 and 9 = 9

(3 + 4) / 9 = 1/x

7/9 = 1/x

Cross multiply :

7x = 9

x = 9/7 hours

x = (9/7)* 60

x = 77.14 minutes

Combined time = 77.14 minutes.

An economist, an expert in the study of sales and production of goods and services, is interested in studying the average amount of money people spend, each month, on entertainment. For example, he wants to know how much people spend, each month, going to the movies, attending a concert, etc. His assistant conducted a poll of 500 randomly selected people across the country. He found a 95% confidence interval: $72 to $198. From this confidence interval the assistant concluded that people spend an average of $200 a month on entertainment. Is this a reasonable conclusion and why

Answers

Answer:

$200 is not part of the confidence interval, which means that this is not a reasonable conclusion, at the 100 - 95 = 5% level of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

95% confidence interval: $72 to $198.

This means that we are 95% sure that the true mean spending is between $72 and $198.

From this confidence interval the assistant concluded that people spend an average of $200 a month on entertainment. Is this a reasonable conclusion and why?

$200 is not part of the confidence interval, which means that this is not a reasonable conclusion, at the 100 - 95 = 5% level of significance.

Based on a random sample of 1140 adults, the mean amount of sleep per night is 7.96 hours. Assuming the population standard deviation for the amount of sleep per night is 1.6 hours, construct 95% confidence interval for the mean amount of sleep per night.

a. (7.67, 8.05)
b. (7.87, 8.05)
c. (8.09, 9.12)
d. (7.87, 8.23)

Answers

Answer:

at 95% confidence interval,  the mean amount of sleep per night is ( 7.87, 8.05 ).

Option b) (7.87, 8.05) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

sample size n = 1140

sample mean x" = 7.96

standard deviation σ = 1.6

At 95% confidence interval,

significance level ∝ = 1 - 95% = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

∝/2 = 0.05 / 2 = 0.025

Z-Critical [tex]Z_{\alpha /2[/tex] = [tex]Z_{0.025[/tex] = 1.96

Top get the Margin of error E;

E = [tex]Z_{\alpha /2[/tex] × ( σ /√n )

we substitute

E = 1.96 × ( 1.6 /√1140 )

E = 0.09

So, At 95% confidence interval of the population mean is;

⇒ x" ± E

⇒ x" - E or x" + E

we substitute

⇒ 7.96 - 0.09, 7.96 + 0.09

7.87, 8.05

Therefore, at 95% confidence interval,  the mean amount of sleep per night is ( 7.87, 8.05 ).

Option b) (7.87, 8.05) is the correct answer.

Which fraction shows a correct way to set up the slope formula for the line containing (2, -4) and (-6, 1)?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

slope=y2-y1/x2-x1

here x1=2 , y1=-4 , x2=-6 , y2=1

=1-(-4)/2-(-6)

=1+4/2+6

=5/8

-5/8  fraction shows a correct way to set up the slope formula for the line containing (2, -4) and (-6, 1)

What is Slope of Line?

The slope of the line is the ratio of the rise to the run, or rise divided by the run. It describes the steepness of line in the coordinate plane.

The slope intercept form of a line is y=mx+b, where m is slope and b is the y intercept.

The slope of line passing through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is

m=y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁

the slope formula for the line containing (2, -4) and (-6, 1) we calculate by plugging the values to the slope formula.

m=1-(-4)/-6-2

m=1+4/-8

m=-5/8

Hence, -5/8  fraction shows a correct way to set up the slope formula for the line containing (2, -4) and (-6, 1)
