Evaluate ∣∣256+y∣∣ for y=74. A. 225 B. 315 C. 345 D. 4712

Mr. Gonzales has only $42.50 to spend at a clothing store. He wants to buy a shirt that costs $29, including tax, and some brace

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer: The equation is $29 + x*$4.50 = $42.50, and the solution is x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The data we have is:

Gonzales has $42.50

He wants to buy:

a shirt that costs $29

some bracelets that cost $4.50 each.

The equation that we need to solve is:

Total cost = money that Gonzales has.

The cost is $29 + x*$4.50

where x is the number of bracelets he can buy.

The equation that we need to solve is:

$29 + x*$4.50 = $42.50

to solve it we must isolate x:

x*$4.50 = $42.50 - $29 = $13.50

x = 13.50/4.50 = 3

So we have that Mr. Gonzales can buy a total of 3 bracelets.

Evaluate the expression. P(9, 3) · P(5, 4)

boyakko [2]

Answer:

$P(9,3) *P(5,4)$

And if we use the permutation formula given by:

$nPx = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}$

And replacing we got:

$\frac{9!}{6!} \frac{5!}{4!}= 504*5 = 2520$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem we want to find the following expressionÑ

$P(9,3) *P(5,4)$

And if we use the permutation formula given by:

$nPx = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}$

And replacing we got:

$\frac{9!}{6!} \frac{5!}{4!}= 504*5 = 2520$

arlik [135]

Answer:

So on this case the 90% confidence interval would be given by $-4.137 \leq \mu_1 -\mu_2 \leq 2.087$

For this case since the confidence interval for the difference of means contains the 0 we can conclude that we don't have significant differences at 10% of significance between the two means analyzed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X_1 =2.0233$ represent the sample mean 1

$\bar X_2 =3.048$ represent the sample mean 2

n1=15 represent the sample 1 size

n2=15 represent the sample 2 size

$s_1 =4.893387$ population sample deviation for sample 1

$s_2 =5.12399$ population sample deviation for sample 2

$\mu_1 -\mu_2$ parameter of interest at 0.1 of significance so the confidence would be 0.9 or 90%

We want to test:

H0: $\mu_1 = \mu_2$

H1: $\mu_1 \neq \mu_2$

And we can do this using the confidence interval for the difference of means.

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the difference of means is given by the following formula:

$(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2) \pm t_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{s^2_1}{n_1}+\frac{s^2_2}{n_2}}$ (1)

The point of estimate for $\mu_1 -\mu_2$ is just given by:

$\bar X_1 -\bar X_2 =2.0233-3.048=-1.0247$

The degrees of freedom are given by:

$df = n_1 +n_2 -2 = 15+15-2=28$

Since the Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of $\alpha=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.05,28)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=\pm 1.701$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$-1.0247-1.701\sqrt{\frac{4.893387^2}{15}+\frac{5.12399^2}{15}}=-4.137$

$-1.0247+1.701\sqrt{\frac{4.893387^2}{15}+\frac{5.12399^2}{15}}=2.087$

So on this case the 90% confidence interval would be given by $-4.137 \leq \mu_1 -\mu_2 \leq 2.087$

For this case since the confidence interval for the difference of means contains the 0 we can conclude that we don't have significant differences at 10% of significance between the two means analyzed.

An exponential function with a base of 1/2 has been vertically compressed by a factor of 3/4 and reflected in the x-axis. It's a

joja [24]

We are asked in this problem to determine the expression of an exponential function given the data above. The standard form of an exponential function is expressed as y = a^x + b was a is the base constant and b is another constant. In this case, a is given to be equal to 1/2. since the graph is said to be shrunk down to 3/4 then the initial expression would have to be y = 3/4*(1/2)^x + b. b is determined through the given asymptote in the problem. An asymptote is an axis or the line in which the graph approaches but never touches. b is equal to -4. In this case, the overall expression is y = 3/4 *(1/2)^x - 4.
