Samara is adjusting a satellite because she finds it is not focusing the incoming radio waves perfectly. The shape of her satell

ite can be modeled by y2=2(x+6), where x and y are modeled in inches. She realizes that the static is a result of the feed antenna shifting slightly off the focus point. What is the focus point of the satellite?

This is a parabola by the looks of the equation and the fact that it's a satellite dish. The vertex of the equation is (-6,0) and the focus is 2/4, 1/2. 1/2 plus -6 is -5.5. the focus is (-5.5,0).

This answer is only true if the actual equation is y^2 not 2y

Which graph is the result of reflecting f(x) = One-fourth(8)x across the y-axis and then across the x-axis? On a coordinate plan
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Which graph is the result of reflecting f(x) = One-fourth(8)x across the y-axis and then across the x-axis?

On a coordinate plane, an exponential function approaches y = 0 in quadrant 2 and incresaes into quadrant 1. It goes through the y-axis at (0, 0.25) and goes through (1, 2).

On a coordinate plane, an exponential function approaches y = 0 in quadrant 1 and increases in quadrant 2. It crosses the y-axis at (0, 0.25) and goes through (negative 1, 2).

On a coordinate plane, an exponential function approaches y = 0 in quadrant 3 and decreases into quadrant 4. It crosses the y-axis at (0, negative 0.25) and goes through (1, negative 2).

On a coordinate plane, an exponential funtion increases in quadrant 3 into quadrant 4 and approaches y = 0. It goes through (negative 1, negative 2) and crosses the y-axis at (0, negative 0.25).

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

No, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that true average task time with armor is less than 2 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.

The claim is that true average task time with armor is less than 2 seconds.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu=2\\\\H_a:\mu< 2

The significance level is 0.01.

The sample has a size n=52.

The sample mean is M=1.95.

As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=0.2.

The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:

s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{0.2}{\sqrt{52}}=0.028

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{1.95-2}{0.028}=\dfrac{-0.05}{0.028}=-1.803

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

df=n-1=52-1=51

This test is a left-tailed test, with 51 degrees of freedom and t=-1.803, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

P-value=P(t

As the P-value (0.039) is bigger than the significance level (0.01), the effect is not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that true average task time with armor is less than 2 seconds.

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

a. The average number of hashtags used in a social media post from a marketing agency is different than 7 hashtags.

Step-by-step explanation:

A social media platform states that a social media post from a marketing agency has 7 hashtags, on average.

This means that at the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is 7, that is:

H_0: \mu = 7

A digital marketing specialist studying social media advertising believes the average number of hashtags used in a post from a marketing agency is different than the number stated by the social media platform.

Keyword is different, so at the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is different of 7, that is:

H_1: \mu \neq 7

Thus, the correct answer is given by option a.
