Which function has a range of y < 3?
Setler79 [48]

Using a graphing tool

Let's graph each of the cases to determine the solution of the problem

<u>case A)</u> y=3(2^{x})  

see the attached figure N 1

The range is the interval--------> (0,∞)

y> 0

therefore

the function y=3(2^{x}) is not the solution

<u>case B)</u> y=2(3^{x})

see the attached figure N 2  

The range is the interval--------> (0,∞)

y> 0

therefore

the function y=2(3^{x}) is not the solution

<u>case C)</u> y=-2^{x}+3  

see the attached figure N 3    

The range is the interval--------> (-∞,3)  

y< 3

therefore

the function   y=-2^{x}+3    is the solution

<u>case D)</u> y=2^{x}-3  

see the attached figure N 4  

The range is the interval--------> (-3,∞)  

y>-3

therefore

the functiony=2^{x}-3 is not the solution

<u>the answer is</u>

y=-2^{x}+3

Two hockey teams, the Winnipeg Jets (yay!) and the Toronto Maple Leafs (boo!), miraculously make it to
monitta

Answer:

There is a 54% chance that the Jets will win the Stanley Cup.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since two hockey teams, the Winnipeg Jets and the Toronto Maple Leafs, miraculously make it to the Stanley Cup finals, where as soon as a team wins 3 games, the championship is over, and the schedule for the playoffs for home games is: Jets - Leafs - Jets - Leafs - Jets; since if the Jets are playing at home, there is a 60% chance they'll win, while if they are playing on the road, there is a 45% chance they'll win, to find the probability that the Jets win the Stanley Cup the following calculation must be performed:

(0.60 + 0.45 + 0.60 + 0.45 + 0.60) / 5 = X

2.70 / 5 = X

0.54 = X

Thus, there is a 54% chance that the Jets will win the Stanley Cup.

A random sample of 250 students at a university finds that these students take a mean of 15.2 credit hours per quarter with a st
Orlov [11]

Answer:

95% confidence interval for the mean credit hours taken by a student each quarter is [14.915 hours , 15.485 hours].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a random sample of 250 students at a university finds that these students take a mean of 15.2 credit hours per quarter with a standard deviation of 2.3 credit hours.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the population mean is given by;

                          P.Q. = \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample credit hours per quarter = 15.2 credit hours

             s = sample standard deviation = 2.3 credit hours

             n = sample of students = 250

             \mu = population mean credit hours per quarter

<em>Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used One-sample t test statistics as we know don't about population standard deviation.</em>

So, 95% confidence interval for the population mean, \mu is ;

P(-1.96 < t_2_4_9 < 1.96) = 0.95  {As the critical value of t at 249 degree of

                                        freedom are -1.96 & 1.96 with P = 2.5%}  

P(-1.96 < \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < 1.96) = 0.95

P( -1.96 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < {\bar X-\mu} < 1.96 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.95

P( \bar X-1.96 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < \mu < \bar X+1.96 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.95

<u><em>95% confidence interval for</em></u> \mu = [ \bar X-1.96 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } , \bar X+1.96 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ]

                  = [ 15.2-1.96 \times {\frac{2.3}{\sqrt{250} } } , 15.2+1.96 \times {\frac{2.3}{\sqrt{250} } } ]

                  = [14.915 hours , 15.485 hours]

Therefore, 95% confidence interval for the mean credit hours taken by a student each quarter is [14.915 hours , 15.485 hours].

<em>The interpretation of the above confidence interval is that we are 95% confident that the true mean credit hours taken by a student each quarter will be between 14.915 credit hours and 15.485 credit hours.</em>

Line jk passes through points j(-4,-5) and k(-6,3 if the equation of the lines is written in slope-intercept form,y=my+b what is
lidiya [134]
Written in 2-point form, the equation of the line is
  y = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)·(x-x1) +y1
  y = (3-(-5))/(-6-(-4))·(x-(-4)) + (-5)
  y = 8/-2·(x +4) - 5
  y = -4x -21

The value of b is -21.
