Rachel measures the lengths of a random sample of 100 screws. The mean length was 2.6 inches, with a standard deviation of 1.0 i

nches. Using the alternative hypothesis (µ < µ0), Rachel found that a z-test statistic was equal to -1.25. What is the p-value of the test statistic? Answer choices are rounded to the thousandths place.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the alternative hypothesis (µ < µ0),

To find the p-value with test statistic -1.25 and assuming a standard level of significance of 0.05, using a p value calculator, the p-value is 0.1057 which is great that 0.05. Thus, the results is not significant.

Using the p value calculation.

1. Check the left tailed z table as the test statistic is negative,

2. Then find the probabilitythat z is greater than your test statistic (look up your test statistic on the z-table- the value under 1.2 and 0.05 which is 0.8944

3. Then, find its corresponding probability, and subtract it from 1 to get your p-value- 1-0.8944 = 0.1056.

Grace [21]

Answer:

The dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

Area = 128

Let the dimension of the paper be x and y;

Such that:

Length = x

Width = y

So:

Area = x * y

Substitute 128 for Area

128 = x * y

Make x the subject

x = \frac{128}{y}

When 1 inch margin is at top and bottom

The length becomes:

Length = x + 1 + 1

Length = x + 2

When 2 inch margin is at both sides

The width becomes:

Width = y + 2 + 2

Width = y + 4

The New Area (A) is then calculated as:

A = (x + 2) * (y + 4)

Substitute \frac{128}{y} for x

A = (\frac{128}{y} + 2) * (y + 4)

Open Brackets

A = 128 + \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8

Collect Like Terms

A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8+128

A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 136

A= 512y^{-1} + 2y + 136

To calculate the smallest possible value of y, we have to apply calculus.

Different A with respect to y

A' = -512y^{-2} + 2

Set

A' = 0

This gives:

0 = -512y^{-2} + 2

Collect Like Terms

512y^{-2} = 2

Multiply through by y^2

y^2 * 512y^{-2} = 2 * y^2

512 = 2y^2

Divide through by 2

256=y^2

Take square roots of both sides

\sqrt{256=y^2

16=y

y = 16

Recall that:

x = \frac{128}{y}

x = \frac{128}{16}

x = 8

Recall that the new dimensions are:

Length = x + 2

Width = y + 4

So:

Length = 8 + 2

Length = 10

Width = 16 + 4

Width = 20

To double-check;

Differentiate A'

A' = -512y^{-2} + 2

A" = -2 * -512y^{-3}

A" = 1024y^{-3}

A" = \frac{1024}{y^3}

The above value is:

A" = \frac{1024}{y^3} > 0

This means that the calculated values are at minimum.

<em>Hence, the dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches</em>

Which lines are parallel if M^4 +M^5? Justify your answer.
Igoryamba
Opposite angles formed by two intersecting lines are equal, so angle 1 is the same as angle 4. That means angle 1 = angle 5 as well. 

<span>When a line intersects two parallel lines, the corresponding angles are equal. That is, if r and s are parallel, then the angles formed when l intersects r are the same s the angles formed when l intersects s. Angle 1 = Angle 5, Angle 2 = Angle 6, and so forth. Since we know angle 1 = angle 5, so from that you can see that r and s are parallel</span>

How many distinct triangles can be formed for which m∠A = 75°, a = 2, and b = 3?
Phantasy [73]
We are given
m∠A = 75 deg
a = 2
b = 3

Apply the Law of Sines.
sin(B)/b = sin(A)/a
sin(B)/3 = sin(75)/2
sin(B) = (3*sin(75))/2 = 1.45

The value of the sin function cannot exceed 1.
This means that the triangle cannot exist.

Answer: No distinct triangles
