York and 1 intermediate stop on the way back to Chicago. Suppose you make a graph of the altitude of the plane for one day, with time on the horizontal axis and altitude on the vertical axis. How many times will the graph touch the horizontal axis?
A. 3
B. 6
C. 5
D. 9

Answer:

Option: C

Step-by-step explanation:

As going from Chicago to New York the plane makes two intermediate stops.

This means that the graph will touch the Horizontal axis

at initial point when the flight is at Chicago

Next at the first intermediate stop

then at the next intermediate stop

finally after reaching New York

After going back from New York to Chicago

This means that the graph will touch the horizontal axis

first initially at New York
Then at the intermediate stop
Finally on reaching Chicago

but the Point on the Horizontal axis at New York and Chicago is counted twice

Hence, the total times the graph will touch the horizontal axis is 5.

Hence, option: C is correct.

A process that produces bottles of shampoo, when operating correctly, produces bottles whose contents weight, on average, 20 oun

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

a. Descriptive statistics for the sample.

n= 9

mean X[bar]= 20.36

median Me= 20.30

min: 19.70

max: 21.40

standad deviation S= 0.61

b. 95% Confidence interval [19.88; 20.83]

c. Decision: Support H₀

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

I don't have excel so I cannot install PHstat, I've used a statistic software called Infostat for the calculations.

There was a random sample of 9 bottles of shampoo taken to test if the process is operating correctly. If it is, the bottles should weight on average 20 ounces (this would be our study parameter)

The study variable is X: the weight of a bottle of shampoo.

X~N(μ;σ²)

a.

Descriptive statistics for the sample.

n= 9

mean X[bar]= 20.36

median Me= 20.30

min: 19.70

max: 21.40

standad deviation S= 0.61

b. 95% Confidence interval.

Since the variable has a normal distribution and the population variance is unknown, the statistic to use to construct this interval is the Students t:

X[bar] ± $t_{n-1; 1- \alpha /2}$ * (S/√n)

20.36 ± $t_{8; 0.975}$ * (0.61/√9)

[19.88; 20.83]

c. You have to test the hypothesis that the production is operating correctly, if it is so, then:

H₀: μ = 20

H₁: μ ≠ 20

α: 0.05

The statistic value is t $_{H0}$ = 1.74

p-value: 0.1198

When you use the p-value to decide on a statistical hypothesis, you should always contrast it with the level of significance using the following rule:

If p-value ≤ α, then you reject the null hypothesis.

If p-value > α, then you do not reject the null hypothesis.

Since the p-value is greater than the significance level, you do not reject the null hypothesis. This means that the average weight of the shampoo bottles is 20 ounces, i.e. the process is operating correctly.

I hope it helps!

Shawna has $750 in the bank.she deposits $37.50 each week.Ruben has $850 in the bank.He deposits his paycheck of $102.75 every M

erastova [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: it would take 20 weeks before the amount in both accounts would be the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of weeks that it will take either Ruben and Shawna to have the same amount of money in their account.

Let y represent the total amount that would be in Shawna's account after x weeks

Let z represent the total amount that would be in Ruben's account after x weeks

Shawna has $750 in the bank. She deposits $37.50 each week. This means that the total amount after x weeks would be

y = 37.5x + 750

Ruben has $850 in the bank. He deposits his paycheck of $102.75 every Monday,and he spends about $70.25 each week.. This means that the total amount after x weeks would be

z = 850 + 102.75x - 70.25x

z = 850 + 32.5x

To determine the number of weeks before the amount in both accounts will becomes the same, we would equate y to z. It becomes

37.5x + 750= 850 + 32.5x

37.5x - 32.5x = 850 - 750

5x = 100

x = 100/5 = 20

The town librarian bought a combination of new-release movies on DVD for $20 and classic movies on DVD for $8. Let x represent t

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

x = 1, y = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Value of new-releases (x) = $20 each

Value of classic (y) = $8 each

Total budget = $500

Equation : 20x + 8y = 500

The librarian wants to purchase maximum DVDs. She can get more DVDs of classic movies for $8 as they are less costly.

Lets assume the librarian buys at least one new-release DVD.

x=1

20x + 8y = 500

8y + 20(1) = 500

y = 60

<em>Therefore, in a budget of $500, the librarian can purchase 60 classic movies and 1 new-release.</em>

Julio wants to break his school’s scoring record of 864 points during his 24-game basketball season. During the first 8 games of

Scilla [17]

Answer:

x≥38 points

Step-by-step explanation:

Julio wants to break his school’s scoring record of 864 points during his 24-game basketball season. During the first 8 games of the season, he scored a total of 256 points. Which inequality can be used to find x, the number of points Julio must average per game during the rest of the season to break the record?

julio has a 24 game basketball season.

he has played 8, it means there are 16 more games to go

therefore=

he has scored 256 nts, wic means there are still 608 points to go .

864-256=608

x is the points he more score per every game.

16x=608

to break the records ,he must score an extra point 1

so 16x≥608

x≥38

Squaring both sides of an equation is irreversible. Is Cubing both sides of an equation reversible? Provide numerical examples t

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

<h2>Cubing both sides of an equation is reversible.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Squaring both sides of an equation is irreversible, because the square power of negative number gives a positive result, but you can't have a negative base with a positive number, given that the square root of a negative number doesn't exist for real numbers.

In case of cubic powers, this action is reversible, because the cubic root of a negative number is also a negative number. For example

$\sqrt[3]{x} =-1$

We cube both sides

$(\sqrt[3]{x} )^{3} =(-1)^{3} \\x=-1$

If we want to reverse the equation to the beginning, we can do it, using a cubic root on each side

$\sqrt[3]{x}=\sqrt[3]{-1} \\\sqrt[3]{x}=-1$

There you have it, cubing both sides of an equation is reversible.
