A market researcher for a consumer electronics company wants to determine if the residents of a particular city are spending more time watching TV than the average for this geographic area. The average for this geographic area is 13 hours per week. A random sample of 16 respondents of the city is selected, and each respondent is instructed to keep a detailed record of all television viewing in a particular week. For this sample the viewing time per week has a mean of 15.3 hours and a sample standard deviation sn = 3.8 hours. Assume that the amount of time of television viewing per week is normally distributed. Can the researcher claim that the residents of this particular city are spending significantly (at 5% level) more time watching TV than the average for this geographic area? Explain your conclusion.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The conclusion

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the  the residents of this particular city are spending significantly (at 5% level) more time watching TV than the average for this geographic area.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The population mean is [tex]\mu = 13 \ hours\ per\ week[/tex]

   The sample size is  n= 16

    The sample  mean is  [tex]\= x = 15.3[/tex]

    The standard deviation is  [tex]s = 3.8\ hours.[/tex]

   The null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : \mu = 13[/tex]

    The alternative hypothesis is  [tex]H_a : \mu > 13[/tex]

     The level of significance is  [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

      [tex]t = \frac{\= x - \mu }{ \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

=>   [tex]t = \frac{15.3 - 13 }{ \frac{ 3.8 }{\sqrt{16} } }[/tex]

=>   [tex]t = 2.42[/tex]

 Generally the p-value is mathematically represented as

      [tex]p-value = P(z > 2.42)[/tex]

From the z -table  

       [tex]P(z > 2.42) = 0.0077603[/tex]

=>   [tex]p-value = 0.0077603[/tex]

From the values obtained we see that  [tex]p-value < \alpha[/tex]

Hence we reject the  null hypothesis

   Therefore there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the  the residents of this particular city are spending significantly (at 5% level) more time watching TV than the average for this geographic area.

The area of triangle ACD and ABC are 17 and 46.75 square units respectively

How to find the area of a triangle

The formula for finding the area of a triangle is expressed as:

A = 0.5bh

where:

b is the base

h is the height

Area of the triangle ACD = 0.5DE * AC

Area of the triangle ACD = 0.5(2)(17)

Area of the triangle ACD = 17 square units

For the triangle ABC

Area =  0.5(BE)(AC)

Area= 0.5(5.5)(17)

Area = 46.75square units

Hence the area of triangle ACD and ABC are 17 and 46.75 square units respeectively

Outside temperature over a day can be modelled as a sinusoidal function. Suppose you know the high
temperature of 83 degrees occurs at 5 PM and the average temperature for the day is 65 degrees. Assuming
t is the number of hours since midnight, find an equation for the temperature, D, in terms of t.

Answers

Answer:The temperature at 4 AM is 41 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have an average temperature of 45 degrees and a high of 53 degrees. That makes the midline 45 and the amplitude 8.

We could spend some time trying to figure out how to get a graph in which x=0 corresponds to midnight. However; that is not necessary. We can use any sinusoidal function we want, as long as we understand which part of the graph corresponds to what hour of the day.

So with midline 45 and amplitude 8, let's choose a simple function:

f%28x%29+=+45%2B8sin%28x%29

The time at which we are to find the temperature, 8 AM, is 8 hours before 4 PM, which is the time when the temperature is maximum. 8 hours is 1/3 of a day, so we want to find the temperature 1/3 of a cycle before 4 PM.

Since we are using a sine function with no horizontal shift, the time of maximum temperature, 4 PM, corresponds to 1/4 of the way through a cycle, at pi/2.

We want to go back 1/3 of a cycle, or (2/3)pi, from pi/2; that puts us at -pi/6.

That makes it easy to find the temperature at 4 AM without a calculator:

45%2B8%2Asin%28-pi%2F6%29+=+45%2B8%28-.5%29+=+45-4+=+41

The temperature at 4 AM is 41 degrees.

The amount of money spent at a gas station varies directly with the number of gallons purchased. When 15.5 gallons of gas was purchased , the cost was $48.67. What is the cost for 9 gallons of gas?

Answers

The cost for 9 gallons will be $4.3903

Answer:

$28.26

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find out how much each gallon of gas cost, you need to divide the $48.67 by the 15.5 gallons. This would equal 3.14 So the cost for one gallon is $3.14

Then you would need to multiply this number by the 9 gallons to get the price. Which would equal $28.26

Answer: x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, they simply want you to find a pair of x and y-coordinates that would be valid in this equation.

We can take a random number for x, like, say, 3.

y = 2x + 6

y = 2(3) + 6

y = 6 + 6

y = 12

Since giving the value of 3 to x results in y being 12, we can safely say that the coordinates (3, 12) would be valid in this equation. Therefore:

(12) = 2(3) + 6

You have triangle JKL. Angle J is a right triangle. Angle K has a measure of 40 degrees. Side k=26. Solve the triangle. Round angles and sides to nearest tenth.

Answer choices:

A) Angle L= 50 degrees, side L= 31.0, side J= 40.4

B) Angle L= 50 degrees, side L= 33.3, side J= 42.8

D) Angle L= 50 degrees, side L= 21.8, side J= 33.9

E) Angle L= 50 degrees, side L= 33.9, side J= 21.8

Pls give explanation!!

Answers

Answer:

Option E

Step by step explanation:

We know that angle J is a right angle meaning it's an angle 90 degrees. So to find angle L;

90+40+L=180

130+L=180

L=180-130

So therefore angle L =50 degrees

Now to find side J which is the opposite in the triangle,we use tan because it has adjacent and opposite which is what we're looking for;

Tan 40 degrees =opposite/26

We cross multiply

Opposite =Tan 40 degrees×26

Opposite =21.8

Side J=21.8

With side J found we can find side L using Pythagoras theorem

L^2=21.8^2 +26^2

L^2=475.24+676

L^2=1,151.24

L=Square root of 1,151.24

L=33.9

Answer:

  A) Angle L= 50 degrees, side L= 31.0, side J= 40.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA is intended to remind you of the relationship between trig functions and sides of a right triangle. The given side of k is opposite the given angle K, so the sine or tangent functions can be used to find missing sides. If we want to start with the hypotenuse, we can use the relation ...

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  sin(40°) = 26/j

  j = 26/sin(40°) ≈ 40.4 . . . units (matches choice A)

Similarly, we can use the tangent relation to find side ℓ:

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(40°) = 26/ℓ

  ℓ = 26/tan(40°) ≈ 31.0 . . . units (matches choice A)

Of course, angle L is the complement of 40°:

  L = 90° -40° = 50°

The solution to the triangle is L = 50°, ℓ = 31.0, j = 40.4.

Answers

Answer:

Given: A = 72°, a = 34, b = 21

Calculated: B = 35.97°, C = 72.03°, c = 34.00

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] \dfrac{\sin A}{a} = \dfrac{\sin B}{b} [/tex]

[tex] \dfrac{\sin 72^\circ}{34} = \dfrac{\sin B}{21} [/tex]

[tex] \sin B = \dfrac{21\sin 72^\circ}{34} [/tex]

[tex] \sin B = 0.5874 [/tex]

[tex] B = \sin^{-1} 0.5874 [/tex]

[tex] B = 35.97^\circ [/tex]

C = 180° - 72° - 35.97°

C = 72.03°

[tex] \dfrac{\sin A}{a} = \dfrac{\sin C}{c} [/tex]

[tex] \dfrac{\sin 72^\circ}{34} = \dfrac{\sin 72.03^\circ}{c} [/tex]

[tex]c = \dfrac{\sin 72.03^\circ \times 34}{\sin 72^\circ}[/tex]

[tex] c = 34.00 [/tex]

Given: A = 72°, a = 34, b = 21

Calculated: B = 35.97°, C = 72.03°, c = 34.00

Answer:

[tex]B\approx35.97^\circ\\C\approx72.03^\circ\\c\approx34[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Law of Sines

[tex]\frac{sinA}{a}=\frac{sinB}{b}=\frac{sinC}{c}[/tex]

Given information

[tex]A=72^\circ\\a=34\\b=21[/tex]

Check if solutions exist

As [tex]A=72^\circ < 90^\circ[/tex] and that [tex]a > b\rightarrow 34 > 21[/tex], then there exists only one possible triangle by the Ambiguous Case

Solve the triangle

[tex]\frac{sin(72^\circ)}{34}=\frac{sin(B)}{21}\\ \\ 21sin(72^\circ)=34sin(B)\\\\\frac{21sin(72^\circ)}{34}=sin(B)\\ \\B=sin^{-1}(\frac{21sin(72^\circ)}{34})\\ \\B=35.97394255^\circ\approx35.97^\circ[/tex]

Solve this quadratic equation by completing the square

x^2=12x+17

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\large\boxed{\red{\sf x =6+\sqrt{53},6-\sqrt{53}} }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We would like to solve the given quadratic equation by completing the square method .The given equation is ;

[tex]\longrightarrow x^2=12x +17[/tex]

Subtract 12x to both sides ,

[tex]\longrightarrow x^2-12x = 17 [/tex]

Here the co-efficient of x² is already 1 . So , we shall rewrite it as ,

[tex]\longrightarrow x^2-2(6)(x) = 17 [/tex]

Add 6² on both sides ,

[tex]\longrightarrow x^2-2(6)(x) + 6^2=17+6^2 [/tex]

Now LHS is in the form of (a-b)² = a²-2ab+ ; so that ;

[tex]\longrightarrow (x -6)^2 = 17+36 [/tex]

Simplify RHS ,

[tex]\longrightarrow (x-6)^2=53 [/tex]

Put square root on both sides,

[tex]\longrightarrow (x-6) = \pm\sqrt{53}[/tex]

Add 6 on both sides,

[tex]\longrightarrow x = 6\pm\sqrt{53} [/tex]

Separate the two solutions ,

[tex]\longrightarrow \underline{\underline{x =6+\sqrt{53},6-\sqrt{53}}} [/tex]

Answers

Answer:

y = 4 1/3x+ 6  

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. The slope-intercept form is given as y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept occurs at x=0 or point (0,b).

-18 -8 / -2 - 4 =  -26 / -6  = 4 1/3  perp = - 4 1/3  =  y=4 1/3 x+b

Step 2. -18 -8 / -2 - 4 =  -26 / -6  = 4 1/3  perp = - 4 1/3  is a vertical line or parallel to the y-axis. So a line perpendicular to x= 4 1/3  is a horizontal line parallel to the x-axis.

Step 3. Therefore y= 4 1/3  is a horizontal line parallel to the x-axis. Now, the line needs to pass through point (5,6) or x=5 and y=6. Then, y=b=6 or y=6 is the equation of the line. but then  x = 4 1/3   so y = 4 1/3x + 6  

Step 4. ANSWER: The equation is  y = 4 1/3x+ 6  where slope m=4 1/3 and y intercept b=6.
