The inverse of the the function above is y = $\sqrt{\frac{x+8}{2}}$

In order to find the inverse of any function, you need to switch the x and y values. Once you've done that, you need to solve for the new y value. The resulting equation will be your inverse. The work for this one is below.

y = 2x^2 - 8 ----> Switch the terms

x = 2y^2 - 8 ----> Add 8 to both sides.

x + 8 = 2y^2 ----> Divide both sides by 2.

$\frac{x+8}{2}$ = y^2 ----> Now take the square root of both sides.

$\sqrt{\frac{x+8}{2}}$ = y

What's left is your inverse. You can change the order so that it is in a more acceptable form.

y = $\sqrt{\frac{x+8}{2}}$

A facilities manager at a university reads in a research report that the mean amount of time spent in the shower by an adult is

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

We conclude that the mean amount of time that college students spend in the shower is equal to 5 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 5 minutes

Sample mean, $\bar{x}$ = 4.61 minutes

Sample size, n = 15

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation, s = 0.75 minutes

a) First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

$H_{0}: \mu = 5\text{ minutes}\\H_A: \mu \neq 5\text{ minutes}$

We use two-tailed t test to perform this hypothesis.

b) Formula:

$t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }$

Putting all the values, we have

$t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{4.61 - 5}{\frac{0.75}{\sqrt{15}} } = -2.0139$

c) Now, we calculate the p-value using the standard table.

P-value = 0.0638

d) Since the p-value is greater than the significance level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and accept the null hypothesis.

We conclude that the mean amount of time that college students spend in the shower is equal to 5 minutes.

Option a) Fail to reject the claim that the mean time is 5 minutes because the P-value is larger than 0.05.

A farm can harvest 120 pounds of carrots per acre of land. Each crate can hold 24 pounds of carrots. If a farmer owns 4.8 acres

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The farmer needs 24 crates to hold the carrots.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many crates the farmer needs to hold the carrots, knowing that his farm has 4.8 acres of land, where he can harvest 120 pounds per acre, and that each crates can hold up to 24 pounds of carrots, the following calculation must be performed:

(4.8 x 120) / 24 = X

576/24 = X

24 = X

Thus, the farmer needs 24 crates to hold the carrots.

Within the United States, approximately 11.25% of the population is left-handed. Of the males, 12.6% are left-handed, compared t

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

There is a 45.05% probability that the selected person is a right-handed female.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities

A 50% probability that a person is a male

A 50% probability that a person is a female.

A 12.6% probability that a male is left-handed.

A 9.9% probability that a female is left-handed.

If a person is selected at random, to find the probability that the selected person is a right-handed female, one would compute:

50% are female.

9.9% of the females are left-handed, so 100-9.9 = 90.1% of the females are right handed.

$P = 0.5*0.901 = 0.4505$

There is a 45.05% probability that the selected person is a right-handed female.
