Find the inverse of the following function.
Answer:
The inverse is 1/64 x^2 = y x ≥ 0
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 8 sqrt(x)
y = 8 sqrt(x)
Exchange x and y
x = 8 sqrt (y)
Solve for y
Divide each side by 8
1/8 x = sqrt(y)
Square each side
(1/8 x)^2 = (sqrt(y))^2
1/64 x^2 = y
The inverse is 1/64 x^2 = y x ≥ 0
since x ≥0 in the original function

The mean number of rushing yards for one NFL team was less than 99 yards per game. If a hypothesis test is performed, how should you interpret a decision that rejects the null hypothesis?
Question options :
A. There is sufficient evidence to reject the claim
u < 99.
B. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim
u < 99.
C. There is not sufficient evidence to reject the claim
u < 99.
D. There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim
u< 99.
Answer:
B. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim
u < 99.
Step-by-step explanation:
We construct the n*ll and alternative hypotheses to support our claim
The n*ll hypothesis :H0
The alternative hypothesis : Ha
N*ll hypothesis =H0: u=99
Alternative hypothesis =Ha: u<99
So if n*ll hypothesis (H0) u=99 is rejected, then we accept the alternative hypothesis that u<99
we can therefore have sufficient evidence to support our claim that u<99
For some postive value of Z, the probability that a standardized normal variable is between 0 and Z is 0.3770. The value of Z is
Answer:
1.16
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that;
For some positive value of Z, the probability that a standardized normal variable is between 0 and Z is 0.3770.
This implies that:
P(0<Z<z) = 0.3770
P(Z < z)-P(Z < 0) = 0.3770
P(Z < z) = 0.3770 + P(Z < 0)
From the standard normal tables , P(Z < 0) =0.5
P(Z < z) = 0.3770 + 0.5
P(Z < z) = 0.877
SO to determine the value of z for which it is equal to 0.877, we look at the
table of standard normal distribution and locate the probability value of 0.8770. we advance to the left until the first column is reached, we see that the value was 1.1. similarly, we did the same in the upward direction until the top row is reached, the value was 0.06. The intersection of the row and column values gives the area to the two tail of z. (i.e 1.1 + 0.06 =1.16)
therefore, P(Z ≤ 1.16 ) = 0.877

The mean weight of newborn infants at a community hospital is 6.6 pounds. A sample of seven infants is randomly selected and their weights at birth are recorded as 9.0, 7.3, 6.0, 8.8, 6.8, 8.4, and 6.6 pounds. Does the sample data show a significant increase in the average birthrate at a 5% level of significance?
A. Fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the mean is 6.6 lb.
B. Reject the null hypothesis and conclude the mean is lower than 6.6 lb.
C. Reject the null hypothesis and conclude the mean is greater than 6.6 lb.
D. Cannot calculate because the population standard deviation is unknown
Answer:
The correct option is A
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population is [tex]\mu = 6.6[/tex]
The level of significance is [tex]\alpha = 5\% = 0.05[/tex]
The sample data is 9.0, 7.3, 6.0, 8.8, 6.8, 8.4, and 6.6 pounds
The Null hypothesis is [tex]H_o : \mu = 6.6[/tex]
The Alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_a : \mu > 6.6[/tex]
The critical value of the level of significance obtained from the normal distribution table is
[tex]Z_{\alpha } = Z_{0.05 } = 1.645[/tex]
Generally the sample mean is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]\=x = \frac{\sum x_i }{n}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]\=x = \frac{9.0 + 7.3 + 6.0+ 8.8+ 6.8+ 8.4+6.6 }{7}[/tex]
[tex]\=x = 7.5571[/tex]
The standard deviation is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum [ x - \= x ]}{n} }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{ [ 9.0-7.5571]^2 + [7.3 -7.5571]^2 + [6.0-7.5571]^2 + [8.8- 7.5571]^2 + [6.8- 7.5571]^2 + [8.4 - 7.5571]^2+ [6.6- 7.5571]^2 }{7} }[/tex][tex]\sigma = 1.1774[/tex]
Generally the test statistic is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]t = \frac{\= x - \mu } { \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]t = \frac{7.5571 - 6.6 } { \frac{1.1774 }{\sqrt{7} } }[/tex]
[tex]t = 1.4274[/tex]
Looking at the value of t and [tex]Z_{\alpha }[/tex] we see that [tex]t < Z_{\alpha }[/tex] hence we fail to reject the null hypothesis
What this implies is that there is no sufficient evidence to state that the sample data show as significant increase in the average birth rate
The conclusion is that the mean is [tex]\mu = 6.6 \ lb[/tex]

a department store regularly sells a pair of pants for $49.95. they are having a sale where clothing 30% off.
after including an 8% sales tax, how much do the pants cost on sale?
A. $30.97
B. $38.96
C. $37.76
D. $32.17
Answer:
C. $37.76
Step-by-step explanation:
30% of $49.95
=30/100×49.95
=$14.99
selling price = 49.95 -14.99
= $34.96
8% sales tax included
=8/100×34.96
=$2.80
new price= 34.96+2.80
=$37.76
A museum curator is hanging 7 paintings in a row for an exhibit. There are 4 Renaissance paintings and 3 Baroque paintings. From left to right, all of the Renaissance paintings will be hung first, followed by all of the Baroque paintings. How many ways are there to hang the paintings
Answer:
144 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of paintings = 7
Renaissance = 4
Baroque = 3
We are hanging from left to right and we will first hang Renaissance painting before baroque painting.
For Renaissance we have 4! Ways of doing so. 4 x3x2x1 = 24
For baroque we have 3! Ways of doing so. 3x2x1 = 6
We have 4!ways x 3!ways
= (4x3x2x1) * (3x2x1) ways
= 144 ways
Therefore we have 144 ways to hang the painting.
Brainliest for the correct answer!! A calculator was used to perform a linear regression on the values in the table. The results are shown to the right of the table.What is the line of best fit?A.y = –0.984x + 13.5B.y = –2.9x + 13.5C.–0.984 = –2.9x + 13.5D.y = 13.5x – 2.9
Answer:
B. y = –2.9x + 13.5
Step-by-step explanation:
You can try to use the calculator to determine the best line for the values given; you will se that the calculator form, for the linear function is
y = a + bx, where a is the y intercept and b is the slope.
To determine the slope, we apply a formula, to calculate the product of the two xy and, x², plus the sum of each column.
x y xy x²
1 . 11 = 11 → x² = 1² = 1
2 . 8 = 16 → x² = 2² = 4
3 . 4 = 12 → x² = 3² = 9
4 . 1 = 4 → x² = 4² = 16
5 . 0 = 0 → x² = 5² = 25
Total x = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15
Total y = 11 + 8 + 4+ 1 + 0 = 24
Sum of xy = 11 + 16 + 12 + 4 + 0 = 43
Sum of x² = 1 + 4 + 9 + 16 + 25 = 55
n = 5
So b = 5 (43) - (15) . (24) / 5 (55) - 15² = -2.9
a = y media - b . x media → a = 24/5 - (-2.9) . 15/5 = 13.5

If (x - 2) and (x + 1) are factors of
x + px? + qx + 1, what is the sum of p and q?
Answer:
p + q = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to take the original equation, and factor it to a form that's easier to get two binomial factors from (i.e., let's get a quadratic):
x^3 + px^2 + qx + 1
= x (x^2 + px + q) + 1
Now that we have factored out the x, we have a quadratic trinomial which we know can be broken down into two linear binomials. The problem gives us two linear binomials, so let's take a look.
(x - 2) (x + 1) = (x^2 + px + q)
x^2 - 2x + x -2 = x^2 + px + q
Now let's solve.
x^2 - x - 2 = x^2 + px + q
-x - 2 = px + q
From here, we can easily see that p = -1 (the coefficient of x) and q = -2.
Hence, p + q = -1 + -2 = -3.
Cheers.
Question
The point (-2,r) lies on the graph of 2x + y = 7 in the xy-plane. What is the value of r?
Answer: r = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the point (-2, r) lies on the graph of:
2*x + y = 7.
Then, if we that point is on the graph of the equation, we can replace the values and we will have:
2*(-2) + r = 7
and now we solve this for r-
-4 + r = 7
r = 7 + 4 = 11
r = 11
Techwiz electronics makes a profit of $35 for each mp3 and $18 for each DVD last week techwiz sold a combined total of 118 mp3 and DVD players. Let x be the number of mp3 sold last week write an expression for the combined total profit (in dollars) made last week
Answer:
The total profit is [tex]p = 17x + 2124[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The profit made on each mp3 is k = $35
The profit made on each mp3 is y = $18
The total amount sold is n = 118
Now given that the amount of mp3 sold is x then the amount of DVD sold is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]n - x[/tex]
Now the profit made on the x number of mp3 sold is
[tex]x * 35 = 3x[/tex]
And the the profit made from the n-x number of DVD sold is 18 (n-x ) = 18 - 18x
So the total profit made last week from the sales of both mp3 and DVD is
[tex]p = 35x + 18n - 18x[/tex]
[tex]p = 17x + 18(118)[/tex]
[tex]p = 17x + 2124[/tex]
A number is chosen at random from the set of consecutive natural numbers $\{1, 2, 3, \ldots, 24\}$. What is the probability that the number chosen is a factor of $4!$? Express your answer as a common fraction.
Answer:
[tex]Probability = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Set:\ \{1, 2, 3, \ldots, 24\}[/tex]
[tex]n(Set) = 24[/tex]
Required
Determine the probability of selecting a factor of 4!
First, we have to calculate 4!
[tex]4! = 4 * 3 * 2 * 1[/tex]
[tex]4! = 24[/tex]
Then, we list set of all factors of 24
[tex]Factors:\ \{1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24\}[/tex]
[tex]n(Factors) = 8[/tex]
The probability of selecting a factor if 24 is calculated as:
[tex]Probability = \frac{n(Factor)}{n(Set)}[/tex]
Substitute values for n(Set) and n(Factors)
[tex]Probability = \frac{8}{24}[/tex]
Simplify to lowest term
[tex]Probability = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]
In a triangle ABC two points D,E are taken on BC so that angle BAD=angle DAE=angleCAE. Determine AE if AB=5,BC=10 angle BAC=90. PLEASE HELP I NEED HELP WITHIN TEN MINS PLEASE
Answer:
AE = 7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Since <BAC = [tex]90^{0}[/tex], then;
<BAD = <DAE = <CAE = [tex]30^{0}[/tex] (complementary angles)
From ΔABC, applying the Pythagoras theorem to determine the length of side AC;
[tex]/BC/^{2}[/tex] = [tex]/AC/^{2}[/tex] + [tex]/AB/^{2}[/tex]
[tex]/10/^{2}[/tex] = [tex]/AC/^{2}[/tex] + [tex]/5/^{2}[/tex]
100 = [tex]/AC/^{2}[/tex] + 25
[tex]/AC/^{2}[/tex] = 100 - 25
[tex]/AC/^{2}[/tex] = 75
AC = [tex]\sqrt{75}[/tex]
Applying trigonometric function to ΔCAE,
Cos [tex]30^{0}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{AE}{\sqrt{75} }[/tex]
AE = [tex]\sqrt{75}[/tex] × Cos [tex]30^{0}[/tex]
= 7.5
Therefore, AE = 7.5

The following shows the monthly sales in units of six salespersons before and after a bonus plan was introduced. At 95% confidence, determine whether the bonus plan has increased sales significantly. (For the following matched samples, let the difference "d" be: d = after - before.)
Salesperson After Before
1 94 90
2 82 84
3 90 84
4 76 70
5 79 80
6 85 80
Answer:
Since the calculated value of t= 2.249 does not falls in the rejection region we therefore accept the null hypothesis at 5 % significance level . On the basis of this we conclude that the bonus plan has not increased sales significantly.
Step-by-step explanation:
The null and alternative hypotheses as
H0: μd=0 Ha: μd≠0
Significance level is set at ∝= 0.05
n= 6
degrees of freedom = df = 6-1 = 5
The critical region is t ( base alpha by 2 with df=5) ≥ ± 2.571
The test statistic under H0 is
t = d/ sd/ √n
Which has t distribution with n-1 degrees of freedom
Sales Difference
Person After Before d = after - before d²

3 90 84 6 36
4 76 70 6 36
5 79 80 -1 1
6 85 80 5 25
∑ 18 118
d`= ∑d/n= 18/6= 3
sd²= 1/6( 118- 18²/6) = 1/6 ( 118 - 54) = 10.67
sd= 3.266
t= 3/ 3.266/ √6
t= 2.249
Since the calculated value of t= 2.249 does not falls in the rejection region we therefore accept the null hypothesis at 5 % significance level . On the basis of this we conclude that the bonus plan has not increased sales significantly.
The size of a television is the length of the diagonal of its screen in inches. The aspect ratio of the screens of older televisions is 4:3, while the aspect ratio of newer wide-screen televisions is 16:9. Find the width and height of an older 35-inch television whose screen has an aspect ratio of 4:3.
Answer:
The Width = 28 inches
The Height = 21 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told in the question that:
The width and height of an older 35-inch television whose screen has an aspect ratio of 4:3
Using Pythagoras Theorem
Width² + Height² = Diagonal²
Since we known that the size of a television is the length of the diagonal of its screen in inches.
Hence, for this new TV
Width² + Height² = 35²
We are given ratio: 4:3 as aspect ratio
Width = 4x
Height = 3x
(4x)² +(3x)² = 35²
= 16x² + 9x² = 35²
25x² = 1225
x² = 1225/25
x² = 49
x = √49
x = 7
Hence, for the 35 inch tv set
The Width = 4x
= 4 × 7
= 28 inches.
The Height = 3x
= 3 × 7
= 21 inches
Examine the two triangles. Are the triangles congruent? Justify your conclusions. If they are congruent, complete the following statement: "Yes, triangle __ congruent to triangle __ giving a detailed explanation of your reasoning. If they are not congruent, explain why you think so. Be specific in your answer and make sure to show your work.
Answer: The triangles are not congruent
==========================================
Explanation:
For triangle DEF, the missing angle D is
D+E+F = 180
D+80+60 = 180
D+140 = 180
D = 180-140
D = 40
While the missing angle K in triangle JKL is
J+K+L = 180
80+K+50 = 180
K+130 = 180
K = 180-130
K = 50
---------------------
The three angles for triangle DEF are
D = 40E = 80F = 60The three angles for triangle JKL are
J = 80K = 50L = 50We don't have all the angles matching up. We need to have the same three numbers (the order doesn't matter) show up for both triangles in order for the triangles to be congruent. This is because congruent triangles have congruent corresponding angles.
The only pair that matches is E = 80 and J = 80, but everything else is different. So there is no way the triangles are congruent.
Notice how triangle JKL has two congruent base angles (K = 50 and L = 50), so this triangle is isosceles. Triangle DEF is not isosceles as we have three different angles, so this triangle is scalene.

a) P [ X < 24 mm ] = ( X - μ₀ ) / σ
P [ X < 24 mm ] = (24 - 26,5)/ 4,8 = - 0,5208 ≈ - 0,52
P [ X < 24 mm ] = - 0,52
And from z-table we find area for z score
P [ X < 24 mm ] = 0,3015 or P [ X < 24 mm ] = 30,15 %
b)P [ X > 32 mm ] = 1 - P [ X < 32 mm ]
P [ X < 32 mm ] = ( 32 - 26,5 ) / 4,8
P [ X < 32 mm ] = 5,5/4,8 = 1,1458 ≈ 1,15
P [ X < 32 mm ] = 1,15
And from z-table we get
P [ X < 32 mm ] = 0,8749
Then:
P [ X > 32 mm ] = 1 - 0,8749
P [ X > 32 mm ] = 0,1251 or P [ X > 32 mm ] = 12,51 %
c) P [ 25 < X < 30 ] = P [ X < 30 ] - P [ X < 25 ]
P [ X < 30 ] = 30 - 26,5 / 4,8 = 0,73
From z-table P [ X < 30 ] = 0,7673
P [ X < 25 ] = 25 - 26,5 / 4,8 = - 0,3125 ≈ - 0,31
From z-table P [ X < 25 ] = 0,2709
Then
P [ 25 < X < 30 ] = 0,7673 - 0,2709
P [ 25 < X < 30 ] = 0,4964 or P [ 25 < X < 30 ] = 49,64 %
d) If 20 %
z- score for 20% is from z-table
z(s) = 0,84
A low-noise transistor for use in computing products is being developed. It is claimed that the mean noise level will be below the 2.5-dB level of products currently in use. It is believed that the noise level is approximately normal with a standard deviation of .8. find 95% CI
Answer:
The 95% CI is [tex]2.108 < \mu < 2.892[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population mean [tex]\mu = 2.5[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 0.8[/tex]
Given that the confidence level is 95% then the level of confidence is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]\alpha = 100 - 95[/tex]
=> [tex]\alpha = 5\%[/tex]
=> [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]
Next we obtain the critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table, the values is [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96[/tex]
Generally the margin of error is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
here we would assume that the sample size is n = 16 since the person that posted the question did not include the sample size
So
[tex]E = 1.96* \frac{0.8}{\sqrt{16} }[/tex]
[tex]E = 0.392[/tex]
The 95% CI is mathematically represented as
[tex]\= x -E < \mu < \= x +E[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]2.5 - 0.392 < \mu < 2.5 + 0.392[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]2.108 < \mu < 2.892[/tex]
