What is the value of y if f||n
?????

Answers

Answer:

y = 148°

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 18 = 2x + 12 (alternate exterior angles are congruent)

Collect like terms

4x - 18 = 2x + 12

4x - 2x = 18 + 12

2x = 20

Divide both sides by 2

x = 10

y = 180 - (2x + 12) (linear pair theorem)

Plug in the value of x

y = 180 - (2(10) + 12)

y = 180 - (20 + 12)

y = 148°

Required:
a. How many samples, without replacement, of size two are possible?
b. Compute the mean of the sample means and compare it to the population mean. (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)

Answers

Solution :

Number of different samples of two technicians possible is = 10, as 2 technicians are to be chosen from a total of 5 technicians.

a). Therefore, 10 different samples are possible of size two.

b).

The proportions of blood types O, A, B, and AB in the general population of a particular country are known to be in the ratio 49:38:9:4, respectively. A research team, investigating a small isolated community in the country, obtained the following frequencies (i.e. observed number of cases) of blood type.
Blood type O A B AB
Frequency 87 59 20 4
Test the hypothesis that the proportions in this community do not differ significantly from those in the general population.

Answers

Answer:

The proportions differ significantly from those in the general population.

Step-by-step explanation:

We state our null and alternative hypotheses as

H0: p1= 49/100, p2= 38/100, p3= 9/100 and p4= 4/100 for a multinomial distribution involving four categories and n= 170

against

Ha: pi≠ pi0 for at least one value of i= 1,2,3,4

The significance level is set at ∝= 0.05

The test statistic under H0 is

χ² = ∑ (Oi- ei)²/ei

which has approximate chi square distribution with 3d.f  (n-1)

Computations: Under H0 the expected frequencies are

np10= Blood type O = 170 * 49/100= 83.3

np20 = Blood type A = 170 * 38/100= 64.6

np30 = Blood type B = 170 * 20/100= 11.76

np40 = Blood type AB = 170 * 4/100= 2.35

The value of χ² is computed as follows

Cell       Observed         Estimated        (Oi-ei)            (Oi-ei)²   (Oi-ei)²/ei

             Frequency      Frequency  

               Oi                    ei

1             87                        83.3               3.7               13.69        0.157

2            59                      64.6              -5.6                 31.36       0.531

3             20                     34                  -14                   196           9.8

4               4                      6.8                -2.8                  7.84         1.96      

∑             170                    188.7                                                  χ²= 12.43  

The critical region is χ²≥ χ²(0.05,3) = 7.82 for alpha = 0.05 and

χ²≥ χ²(0.01,3) = 11.34  for alpha = 0.01

As the calculated value lies in the critical region for both value of alpha we reject our null hypothesis and accept our alternate hypothesis. The proportions differ significantly from those in the general population.

The population of fish in a pond in relation to the number of years since stocking is depicted on a graph. For the first few years after the pond is stocked, the population grows slowly. It increases more quickly as the fish reproduce, then it levels off. A pollutant kills off almost all of the fish 20 years after stocking. The population begins to grow again when the remaining fish reproduce. Which graph depicts the situation described above? ​

Answers

Answer:

Graph a

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope is proportional to the data

Graph A depicts the situation described above. Thus, option A is correct.  

What is a graph?

The link across lines as well as points is described by a graph, which is a mathematical description of a connection. A graph is made up of certain points and connecting lines. It doesn't matter how long the lines are or where the terminals are located.

The population of fish in a pond grows slowly for the first few years after it is stocked, then levels off. A pollutant kills off almost all of the fish 20 years after stocking, then the population begins to grow again when the remaining fish reproduce which is represented in graph A.

If every pair of datasets is connected in the same fashion, by multiplying by a factor, then the connection is proportional. The slope of a line is the slope of the regression. Like the ratio constant, this slope shows how rapidly a quantity is rising or falling.

Therefore, option A is the correct option.

Shirabi spent $208 on a sewing machine to make purses. She spends a total of $10 on thread, fabric, and accessories for each purse and plans to charge $36 for each purse. The equation represents her break-even point, when x represents the number of purses sold.

208 + 10x = 36x

How many purses must she sell in order to break even?

A. 5
B. 6
C. 7
D. 8

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is: Option D: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that she spent $208 on the sewing machines

And

the equation for profits to break even is:

208 + 10x = 36x

In order to find the number of purses to break even, we have to find the value of x

So,

[tex]208+10x=36x[/tex]

Subtracting 10x from both sides

[tex]208+10x-10x = 36x-10x\\208 = 26x[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 26

[tex]\frac{208}{26} = \frac{26x}{26}\\x = 8[/tex]

The number of purses is 8

Hence,

The correct answer is: Option D: 8

D is correct.

Find x , y PLEASE HELP

Answers

Answer:

x=5/4, y=7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a similar triangles problem.

The first triangle (the smaller one) has the lengths 5, 8 and 7.

The second triangle (the lager one) has the lengths 5+x, 10, and 7+y

Let's first solve for x

In any similar triangles problem, you can make two ratios (all the ratios of the sides are the same)

since we don't know the measures for x and y first, we can use the ratio of the parallel lines (the bases) as the first ratio (8/10)

For the second ratio, it's smaller/bigger, so it'll be 5/(x+5)

here's the proportion

5/(x+5)=8/10

But before we multiply, we can simplify 8/10 to 4/5

so

5/(x+5)=4/5

Cross multiply

25=4x+20

5=4x

5/4=x

For y, we can do a similar process

We can use 8/10 or 4/5 again

and the ratio of the sides for y will be 7/(y+7)

7/(y+7)=4/5

35=4y+28

7=4y

7/4=y
