We fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is insufficient evidence at a 0.005 level of significance that the mean length of the particular size of the dress is found to be significantly longer or shorter than 29 inches and the machines must be adjusted.

What is the null hypothesis?

The null hypothesis is the assertion that there is no association between the two sets of data or variables being investigated in a scientific study. The term "null" refers to the idea that any empirically observed difference is entirely attributable to chance and that no underlying causal relationship exists.

Here, we have

Given: A children's clothing company sells hand-smocked dresses for girls. The length of one particular size of the dress is designed to be 29 inches. The most recent simple random sample of 22 dresses had a mean length of 31.53 inches with a standard deviation of 8.24 inches.

We will conduct a one-sample t-test to determine if the mean length of the particular size of the dress is significantly different from 29 inches.

In the null hypothesis, the mean length of the particular size of the dress is equal to 29 inches.

In the alternative hypothesis, the mean length of the particular size of the dress is significantly longer or shorter than 29 inches.

We will use a 0.005 level of significance, which corresponds to a critical value of ±2.807 for a two-tailed test with 21 degrees of freedom.

Our test statistic is: t = (31.53 - 29) / (8.24 / sqrt(22)) = 1.774

Since our test statistic (1.774) is not greater than the critical value (2.807) or less than the negative of the critical value (-2.807), we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Hence, We fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is insufficient evidence at a 0.005 level of significance that the mean length of the particular size of the dress is found to be significantly longer or shorter than 29 inches and the machines must be adjusted.

It takes A. 5 months to pay off (Mini) the highest interest card.

To determine the number of months it takes to pay off the credit card debt, we shall calculate the monthly payment to pay off the highest interest card first.

First, calculate interest accrued on each card per month:

Murk: (5.6/100)/12 * $675.49 = $2.98 per month

Mini: (9.85/100)/12 * $902.43 = $7.42 per month

Next, we determine the order in which to pay off the cards, which is highest interest card first, we can allocate the entire $375 to Mini and leave a minimum for interest accrued on Murk.

This should be a percentage of the balance.

Assuming it's 2% of the balance, which is $13.51.

So, in month 1, we will pay:

Mini: $375

Murk: $13.51

Leaving these balances:

Murk: $675.49 + $2.98 - $13.51 = $664.96

Mini: $902.43 - $375 + $7.42 = $534.85

In month 2:

Mini: $534.85 + $7.42 = $542.27

Murk: $13.51 + $2.98 = $16.49

Balances:

Murk: $664.96 + $2.98 - $16.49 = $651.45

Mini: $542.27 - $375 + $7.42 = $174.69

month 3:

Mini: $174.69 + $7.42 = $182.11

Murk: $13.51 + $2.98 = $16.49

Balances:

Murk: $651.45 + $2.98 - $16.49 = $638.94

Mini: $182.11 - $174.69 + $5.52 = $12.94

month4:

Mini: $12.94 + $7.42 = $20.36

Murk: $13.51 + $2.98 = $16.49

Balances:

Murk: $638.94 + $2.98 - $16.49 = $625.43

Mini: $20.36 - $12.94 + $0.54 = $8.96

month 5:

Mini: $8.96 + $7.42 = $16.38

Murk: $13.51 + $2.98 = $16.49

Balances:

Murk: $625.43 + $2.98 - $16.49 = $612.92

Mini: $16.38 - $8.96 = $7.42

If the Lions in their "seventh-game" scored 14 runs, then the true statement is (b) The mean increases and the median remains the same.

To determine how the additional 14 runs affect the mean and median, we need to calculate the original mean and median.

The mean is the sum of all the runs divided by the number of games:

So, Mean = (5 + 8 + 1 + 5 + 2 + 7)/6 = 28/6 = 4.67,

The median is defined as "middle-value" when data is arranged in order. In this case, the data in order is : 1, 2, 5, 5, 7, 8

So, the median is 5.

If the Lions scored 14 runs in their seventh game, the total number of runs for seven games is:

⇒ 5 + 8 + 1 + 5 + 2 + 7 + 14 = 42,

The new mean is the sum of all the runs for seven games divided by the number of games:

⇒ Mean = 42/7 = 6,

The new data in order is : 1, 2, 5, 5, 7, 8, 14,

So, the new median is also 5.

Comparing the original mean and median to the new mean and median, we can see that:

⇒ The median remains the same.

⇒ The mean increases from 4.67 to 6.

Answer:

The given equation is:

det [a 10 e b d 0] = [2 10 3 6 -1 0]

The determinant of a 3x3 matrix is calculated as follows:

|a b c|

|d e f| = a(ei - fh) - b(di - fg) + c(dh - eg)

Applying this formula to the given matrix, we get:

det [a 10 e b d 0] = a(d0 - b-1) - 10(ed - b0) + e(10*-1 - d*3)

= ab + 10b - 10ed - 3e

Substituting the given values, we get:

ab + 10b - 10ed - 3e = 2(6-0) - 10(3-(-1)) + 3(10-(-1))

ab + 10b - 10ed - 3e = 12 + 40 + 33

ab + 10b - 10ed - 3e = 85

We can simplify this equation by factoring out b and e:

b(a + 10) - e(10d + 3) = 85 - 10b

We can solve for a, d, and e by setting up a system of equations using the given values of the determinant:

ab + 10b - 10ed - 3e = 85

From this equation, we can solve for b:

b(a + 10) - e(10d + 3) = 85 - 10b

Substituting the value of b from the determinant equation, we get:

(a+10)(-1) - e(10d+3) = -8.5

Simplifying, we get:

-a - 10e - 3.3d = -8.5 ...(1)

Also, from the determinant equation, we have:

6a + 10d + 3e = 29

Solving for e in terms of a and d, we get:

e = (29 - 6a - 10d)/3 ...(2)

Substituting equation (2) into equation (1), we get:

-a - 10[(29 - 6a - 10d)/3] - 3.3d = -8.5

Simplifying and multiplying both sides by -3, we get:

3a + 20d - 29e = 25.5

Substituting equation (2) into this equation, we get:

3a + 20d - 29[(29 - 6a - 10d)/3] = 25.5

Simplifying, we get:

a + 6d - 29 = 1.5

a + 6d = 30.5

We have two equations in two variables:

-a - 10e - 3.3d = -8.5

a + 6d = 30.5

Solving for a and d using any method (substitution, elimination, etc.), we get:

a = 7

d = 4

Substituting these values into equation (2), we get:

e = (29 - 6a - 10d)/3 = (29 - 6(7) - 10(4))/3 = -3

Therefore, a = 7, d = 4, and e = -3.

The requried line of reflection is the x-axis.

To determine the line of reflection, we need to find the line that maps each vertex of the first polygon to the corresponding vertex of the second polygon.

We can start by reflecting the first polygon across the x-axis. This will map V to V', W to W', X to X', Y to Y', and Z to Z', as shown below:

First Polygon (VWXYZ) Second Polygon (V'W'X'Y'Z')

(3, 2) V (3, -10) V'

(3, 0) W (3, -8) W'

(6, -7) X (6, -1) X'

(9, 0) Y (9, -8) Y'

(9, 2) Z (9, -10) Z'

Next, we can compare the coordinates of each vertex in the first and second polygons to determine the line of reflection. We notice that reflecting the first polygon across the x-axis negates the y-coordinates of all vertices. Therefore, the line of reflection must be the x-axis.

Therefore, the line of reflection is the x-axis.

If three squares are placed to form a right triangle as shown. The statement that must be true is: C .The difference of the areas of the smaller squares is always equal to the area of the largest square.

Let's use the letters a, b, and c to denote the side lengths of the squares, with c standing for the hypotenuse of the right triangle. Assuming that an is the shortest side length to preserve generality a2 is the area of the smallest square. The largest square has a surface area of c2 whereas the medium square has a surface area of b2.

The Pythagorean theorem demonstrates that a + b equals c. If we rewrite this equation, we obtain:

c^2 - b^2 = a^2

c^2 - a^2 = b^2

This means that the size of the largest square is equal to the difference between the areas of the two smaller squares, which is either a2 or b2.

Answer:

x = -31 maybe

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

A) [tex]x = \dfrac{\log_6(46) + 6}{4}[/tex]

B) [tex]x = \dfrac{\ln(11)}{2}[/tex]

C) [tex]x = \dfrac{11}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We can solve for x by taking log base 6 of both sides.

[tex]\log_6(6^{4x-6}) = \log_6(46)[/tex]

[tex]4x - 6 = \log_6(46)[/tex]

[tex]4x = \log_6(46) + 6[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{x = \dfrac{\log_6(46) + 6}{4}}[/tex]

B) First, we have to divide both sides by 2.

[tex]2e^{2x} / 2= 22 / 2[/tex]

[tex]e^{2x} = 11[/tex]

Then, we can solve for x by taking the natural log (log base e) of both sides.

[tex]\ln(e^{2x})= \ln(11)[/tex]

[tex]2x= \ln(11)[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{x = \dfrac{\ln(11)}{2}}[/tex]

C) We can solve for x by raising 2 to the power of each side.

[tex]2^{\log_2(5x + 5)} = 2^4[/tex]

This cancels the log base 2 on the left.

[tex]5x + 5 = 16[/tex]

The estimated population of the city after 3 years would be 8,537 people.

To find the population of the city after 3 years, we can use the formula for compound interest;

A = P ×[tex](1+r)^{t}[/tex]

where;

A = the final amount (population after 3 years)

P = the initial amount (initial population of the city) = 5,741

r = the annual growth rate (as a decimal) = 14% = 0.14

t = the number of years = 3

Plugging in the values, we get

A = 5,741 × (1 + 0.14)³

Simplifying the expression inside the parentheses first;

A = 5,741 × (1.14)³

Then, raising 1.14 to the power of 3;

A = 5,741 × 1.485136

A ≈ 8,536.98

So, the estimated population of the city after 3 years would be approximately 8,536.98 people. Since population cannot be in decimal numbers, we can round it to the nearest whole number;

A ≈ 8,537
