Complete Question
Pennsylvania Refining Company is studying the relationship between the pump price of gasoline and the number of gallons sold. For a sample of 14 stations last Tuesday, the correlation was 0.65.At the 0.01 significance level Can the company conclude that the correlation is positive
Answer:
Yes the company conclude that the correlation is positive
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The sample size is n = 14
The correlation is r = 0.65
The null hypothesis is [tex]H_o : r < 0[/tex]
The alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_1 : r > 0[/tex]
Generally the standard deviation is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]Sr = \sqrt{1- r}[/tex]
[tex]Sr = \sqrt{1- 0.65}[/tex]
[tex]Sr = 0.616[/tex]
The degree of freedom for the one-tail test is
[tex]df = n- 2[/tex]
[tex]df = 14- 2[/tex]
[tex]df = 12[/tex]
The standard error is evaluated as
[tex]SE = \frac{0.616}{ \sqrt{12} }[/tex]
[tex]SE =0.1779[/tex]
The test statistics is evaluated as
[tex]t = \frac{r }{SE}[/tex]
[tex]t = \frac{0.65 }{0.1779}[/tex]
[tex]t = 3.654[/tex]
The p-value of of t is obtained from the z table, the value is
[tex]p-value = P(t < 3.654) = 0.00012909[/tex]
Given that [tex]p-value < \alpha[/tex] then we reject the null hypothesis
Hence the company can conclude that the correlation is positive
A line runs tangent to a circle at the point (4, 2). The line runs through the origin. Find the slope of the tangent line.
Answer:
Slope of the tangent line (m) = 1 / 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Point A = (4,2)
Origin point = (0,0)
Find:
Slope of the tangent line (m)
Computation:
Slope of the tangent line (m) = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
Slope of the tangent line (m) = (2-0) / (4-0)
Slope of the tangent line (m) = 2 / 4
Slope of the tangent line (m) = 1 / 2
Megan has 12 pounds of cheesecake. On Monday, she and her friends eat 4 pounds. On Tuesday, she and her friends eat another 3 pounds. On Wednesday, her friend Mark gives her some more cheesecake so that she has 3 times as much as she had at the end of Tuesday. On Thursday, some of her cheesecake goes bad, so she has the amount that she had at the end of Wednesday, but divided by 5. On Friday, she gives 3 pounds to her dog. On Saturday, her mom gives her one more pound. On Sunday, how many pounds of cheesecake does Megan have left?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First we start with 12 pounds
On Monday, she and her friends eat 4 pounds. So we have 8 now.
On Tuesday, she and her friends eat another 3 pounds. So we gave 5 now.
On Wednesday, her friend Mark gives her some more cheesecake so that she has 3 times as much as she had at the end of Tuesday. 5 * 3 = 15
On Thursday, some of her cheesecake goes bad, so she has the amount that she had at the end of Wednesday, but divided by 5. She had 15 at the end of Wednesday. 15/5 = 3.
On Friday, she gives 3 pounds to her dog. 5 - 3 = 2.
On Saturday, her mom gives her one more pound. 2 + 1 = 3.
On Sunday, she finally has 3 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:
Sherina wrote and solved the equation. x minus 56 = 230. x minus 56 minus 56 = 230 minus 56. x = 174. What was Sherina’s error?
Answer:
subtracting 56 instead of adding (or adding wrong)
Step-by-step explanation:
She wrote ...
x - 56 = 230
x - 56 - 56 = 230 -56 . . . . correct application of the addition property*
x = 230 -56 . . . . . . . . . . . . incorrect simplification
Correctly done, the third line would be ...
x -112 = 174
This would have made Sherina realize that the error was in subtracting 56 instead of adding it. The correct solution would be ...
x - 56 + 56 = 230 + 56 . . . using the addition property of equality
x = 286 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . correct simplification on both sides
__
There were two errors:
1) incorrect strategy --- subtracting 56 instead of adding
2) incorrect simplification --- simplifying -56 -56 to zero instead of -112
We don't know whether you want to count the error in thinking as the first error, or the error in execution where the mechanics of addition were incorrectly done.
_____
* The addition property of equality requires the same number be added to both sides of the equation. Sherina did that correctly. However, the number chosen to be added was the opposite of the number that would usefully work toward a solution.
Answer:
D: Sherina should have added 56 to both sides of the equation.

The probability density function for random variable W is given as follows: Let x be the 100pth percentile of W and y be the 100(1 – p)th percentile of W, where 0
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A probability density function (pdf) is used for continuous random variables. That is why p is between 0 and 1 (the two extremes - 0 and 1 - exclusive).
X = 100pth percentile of W
Y = 100(1-p)th percentile of W
Expressing Y as a function of X;
Y = 100(1-p)th = 100th - 100pth
Recall that 100pth is same as X, so substitute;
Y = 100th - X
where 100th = hundredth percentile of W and X = 100pth percentile of W

Best Buy is currently selling the latest model of the iPad
Pro for $549.99. Since you are an employee there, you
receive a 5% discount. How much will the iPad Pro cost
you if you use your employee discount (before taxes).
Answer:
$522.49
Step-by-step explanation: 549.99*.05=27.50 (discount)
549.99-27.50=$522.49
Answer:
$522.49
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the discount amount. You can do this by multiplying the original cost by the discount amount. A little trick for remembering to multiply instead of divide is to think "five percent of the original amount"
5% = 0.05
549.99 ⋅ 0.05 = 27.4995
That means the discount amount is $27.50
Subtract the discount amount from the original price
$549.99 - $27.50 = $522.49
BOND VALUATION Asiana Fashion's bonds have 10 years remaining to maturity. Interest is paid annually; they have a $1,000 par value; the coupon interest rate is 8% and thebyield to maturity is 9%.What is the bond's current market price?
Answer:
$935.76
Step-by-step explanation:
BOND VALUATION Asiana Fashion's bonds have 10 years remaining to maturity. Interest is paid annually; they have a $1,000 par value; the coupon interest rate is 8% and thebyield to maturity is 9%.What is the bond's current market price?
Step 1
We find the Present value factor of sum
The formula =
(1 + i)^n
Where
i = maturity rate = 9% = 0.09
n = number of years = 10 years
Present Value = ( 1 + 0.09)^-10
= 0.4224
Step 2
We find the present value factor of annuity
The formula is given as:
1 - (1+i)^-n / i
i = maturity rate = 9% = 0.09
n = number of years = 10 years
= 1 - (1 + 0.09)^-10 /0.09
= 1 - 0.4224 /0.09
= 0.5775 /0.09
= 6.417
Step 3
The bond's current market price is calculated as:
= PV factor of Sum × Par Value + PV factor of annuity × coupon payment
Coupon payment is calculated as:
= Coupon interest × par value
= 8% × 1000
= 80
Hence,
= 0.4224 × 1,000 + 6.417 × 80
= 422.4 + 513.36
= 935.76
In this exercise we have to use the knowledge of finance to calculate the corrective value of the market place, in this way we find that:
[tex]\$935.76[/tex]
We find the Present value factor of sum, by the formula of:
[tex](1 + i)^n[/tex]
Where:
i = maturity rate = 9% = 0.09 n = number of years = 10 years
Substituting the values in the formula as;
[tex]Present \ Value = ( 1 + 0.09)^{-10} = 0.4224[/tex]
We find the present value factor of annuity, by the formula as:
[tex]1 - (1+i)^{-n} / i[/tex]
Where:
i = maturity rate = 9% = 0.09 n = number of years = 10 years
Substituting the values in the formula as;
[tex]= 1 - (1 + 0.09)^{-10} /0.09\\= 1 - 0.4224 /0.09\\= 0.5775 /0.09\\= 6.417[/tex]
The bond's current market price is calculated as:
[tex]= PV \ factor\ of\ Sum * Par\ Value + PV\ factor\ of\ annuity * coupon\ payment[/tex]
Coupon payment is calculated as:
[tex]= Coupon\ interest * par\ value\\= 8\% * 1000= 80[/tex]
So continue the calcule;
[tex]= 0.4224 *1,000 + 6.417 * 80\\= 422.4 + 513.36\\= 935.76[/tex]

Answer:
A. 5:4
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the question mentions twelfths of a pie, it is easier to say each pie has 12 pieces or 36 total pieces ordered from the 3 pies. Ty ate 5 and Rob ate 15 which is 3 times more than Ty. A total of 20 pieces have been eaten from the 36 you started with. Eaten = 20 and Remaining = 16. So the ratio is 20:16 which is simplified to 5:4.

Answer:
b = 9.5 , c = 15Step-by-step explanation:
For b
To find side b we use the sine rule
[tex] \frac{ |a| }{ \sin(A) } = \frac{ |b| }{ \sin(B) } [/tex]a = 7
A = 23°
B = 32°
b = ?
Substitute the values into the above formula
That's
[tex] \frac{7}{ \sin(23) } = \frac{ |b| }{ \sin(32) } [/tex][tex] |b| \sin(23) = 7 \sin(32) [/tex]Divide both sides by sin 23°
[tex] |b| = \frac{7 \sin(32) }{ \sin(23) } [/tex]b = 9.493573
b = 9.5 to the nearest tenthFor cTo find side c we use sine rule
[tex] \frac{ |a| }{ \sin(A) } = \frac{ |c| }{ \sin(C) } [/tex]C = 125°
So we have
[tex] \frac{7}{ \sin(23) } = \frac{ |c| }{ \sin(125) } [/tex][tex] |c| \sin(23) = 7 \sin(125) [/tex]Divide both sides by sin 23°
[tex] |c| = \frac{7 \sin(125) }{ \sin(23) } [/tex]c = 14.67521
c = 15.0 to the nearest tenthHope this helps you
Scores on a college entrance examination are normally distributed with a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 100. What percent of people who write this exam obtain scores between 350 and 650?
Answer:
The percentage is [tex]P(350 < X 650 ) = 86.6\%[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population mean is [tex]\mu = 500[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 100[/tex]
The percent of people who write this exam obtain scores between 350 and 650
[tex]P(350 < X 650 ) = P(\frac{ 350 - 500}{ 100} <\frac{ X - \mu }{ \sigma } < \frac{650 - 500}{ 100} )[/tex]
Generally
[tex]\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } = Z (The \ standardized \ value \ of \ X )[/tex]
[tex]P(350 < X 650 ) = P(\frac{ 350 - 500}{ 100} <Z < \frac{650 - 500}{ 100} )[/tex]
[tex]P(350 < X 650 ) = P(-1.5<Z < 1.5 )[/tex]
[tex]P(350 < X 650 ) = P(Z < 1.5) - P(Z < -1.5)[/tex]
From the z-table [tex]P(Z < -1.5 ) = 0.066807[/tex]
and [tex]P(Z < 1.5 ) = 0.93319[/tex]
=> [tex]P(350 < X 650 ) = 0.93319 - 0.066807[/tex]
=> [tex]P(350 < X 650 ) = 0.866[/tex]
Therefore the percentage is [tex]P(350 < X 650 ) = 86.6\%[/tex]

[tex]f(3.48,96.52) = 323.779[/tex]
The value of the expression when [tex]m = 3.48[/tex] and [tex]b = 96.52[/tex] is 323.779.
how do you figure out ratios? the problem is 12 quarters to 34 dollars. thanks
Step-by-step explanation:
When you have a ratio, you put one number as the numerator and than one number as the denominator.
so it would be (12/34)=(x/68)
In this example I made the ratio you are comparing it to have 68 dollars, so when you solve for the amount of quarters you need it should be 24, since all of the numbers in this example are just being doubled.
To solve for x, you multiply 68 on both sides of the equation, 68×(12/34)=x
24=x
So this proves that this is how ratios, are used. It also does not matter what number you place on the numerator or denominator.
Which is an infinite arithmetic sequence? a{10, 30, 90, 270, …} b{100, 200, 300, 400} c{150, 300, 450, 600, …} d{1, 2, 4, 8}
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
An arithmetic sequence has a common difference d between consecutive terms.
Sequence a
30 - 10 = 20
90 - 30 = 60
270 - 90 = 180
This sequence is not arithmetic
Sequence b
200 - 100 = 100
300 - 200 = 100
400 - 300 = 100
This sequence is arithmetic but is finite, that is last term is 400
Sequence c
300 - 150 = 150
450 - 300 = 150
600 - 450 = 150
This sequence is arithmetic and infinite, indicated by ........ within set
Sequence d
2 - 1 = 1
4 - 2 = 2
8 - 4 = 4
This sequence is not arithmetic
Thus the infinite arithmetic sequence is sequence c
Marine ecologists estimate the reproduction curve for swordfish in a fishing ground to be f(p) = −0.01p2 + 9p, where p and f(p) are in hundreds. Find the population that gives the maximum sustainable yield, and the size of the yield.
Answer:
The population that gives the maximum sustainable yield is 45000 swordfishes.
The maximum sustainable yield is 202500 swordfishes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be [tex]f(p) = -0.01\cdot p^{2}+9\cdot p[/tex], the maximum sustainable yield can be found by using first and second derivatives of the given function: (First and Second Derivative Tests)
First Derivative Test
[tex]f'(p) = -0.02\cdot p +9[/tex]
Let equalize the resulting expression to zero and solve afterwards:
[tex]-0.02\cdot p + 9 = 0[/tex]
[tex]p = 450[/tex]
Second Derivative Test
[tex]f''(p) = -0.02[/tex]
This means that result on previous part leads to an absolute maximum.
The population that gives the maximum sustainable yield is 45000 swordfishes.
The maximum sustainable yield is:
[tex]f(450) = -0.01\cdot (450)^{2}+9\cdot (450)[/tex]
[tex]f(450) =2025[/tex]
The maximum sustainable yield is 202500 swordfishes.

Billy has x marbles. Write an expression for the number of marbles the following have… a) Charlie has 5 more than Billy b) Danny has 8 fewer than Billy c) Eric has three times as many as Billy
Answer:
Charlie: 5 + xDanny: x - 8Eric: x × 3A 160-lb man carries a 5-lb can of paint up a helical staircase that encircles a silo with radius 20 ft. If the silo is 90 ft high and the man makes exactly three complete revolutions, how much work is done by the man against gravity in climbing to the top
Weight of man and paint = 160 + 5 = 165 total pounds.
Gravitational force is independent of the path taken so we can ignore the radius of the silo.
Work done = total weight x height
The problem says he climbs to the top so overall height is 90 feet
Work = 165 lbs x 90 ft = 14,850 ft-lbs

Consider the following ordered data. 6 9 9 10 11 11 12 13 14 (a) Find the low, Q1, median, Q3, and high. low Q1 median Q3 high (b) Find the interquartile range.
Answer:
Low Q1 Median Q3 High
6 9 11 12.5 14
The interquartile range = 3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Consider the following ordered data. 6 9 9 10 11 11 12 13 14
From the above dataset, the highest value = 14 and the lowest value = 6
The median is the middle number = 11
For Q1, i.e the median of the lower half
we have the ordered data = 6, 9, 9, 10
here , we have to values as the middle number , n order to determine the median, the mean will be the mean average of the two middle numbers.
i.e
median = [tex]\dfrac{9+9}{2}[/tex]
median = [tex]\dfrac{18}{2}[/tex]
median = 9
Q3, i.e median of the upper half
we have the ordered data = 11 12 13 14
The same use case is applicable here.
Median = [tex]\dfrac{12+13}{2}[/tex]
Median = [tex]\dfrac{25}{2}[/tex]
Median = 12.5
Low Q1 Median Q3 High
6 9 11 12.5 14
The interquartile range = Q3 - Q1
The interquartile range = 12.5 - 9
The interquartile range = 3.5
in the diagram, find the values of a and b.
Answer:
m∠a = 67° , m∠b = 42°Step-by-step explanation:
∠a is alternate interior angle to ∠ECD
∠b is alternate interior angle to ∠BCD
so:
If AB || CD then:

Help me please please please please
Answer:
1.
d. (-14) + (-8)
2.
a. (-14) + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
(-14) - 8 is equal to (-14) + (-8) because we still add two negative values so the result wouldn't change.
(-14) - (-8) is equal to (-14) + 8 because there's two negative sign in front of 8 and two negative values multiplied makes a positive result.
Answer:
1. D
2. A
Step-by-step explanation:
1. It asks you what expression has the same value as (-14)-8. All you need to do is find other equations that have the same value as that. So the equation is -14-8. IF a negative is outside a parenthesis with a positive number inside like -(+5), it is going to be -5. If it's both negative: -(-5), it will be +5. If it is both positive: +(+5), it is going to be +5.
IMPORTANT!
- and + = -
- and - = +
+ and + = +
What we are looking for: -14-8
So choice A is (-14)+8 which is simplified to -14+8. So, this one isn't right.
Choice B: 14-(-8)= 14+8. So, it's incorrect.
Choice C: 14+(-8)= 14-8. Again, it's not -14-8 so it's not right.
Choice D: (-14)+(-8)= -14-8. This equation matches the one we are looking for! So it's correct!
2. Same thing as number 1. Let's simplify the equation it wants us to find first.
(-14)-(-8)= -14+8
So -14+8 is what we are looking for.
Choice A: (-14)+8= -14+8. It matches! So it is correct. Let's look at the other options anyway.
Choice B: 14-(-8)= 14+8. Nope. Not right.
Choice C: 14+(-8)= 14-8 because - always beats +. So, this one is also incorrect.
Choice D: (-14)+(-8)= -14-8. Oops, this is also wrong. So choice A is the right answer.
Keep in mind, when you start getting questions like this with numbers inside the parenthesis as well, you want to remember the same rules for positive and negative, but also multiply the numbers together:
(When there is a number outside and inside a parentheses, multiply them.)
2(5)=10, CORRECT! 2+(5) is not 2 times 5. It's whatever is closest to the parentheses, in this case being the positive sign. So + and 5 is just 5!
IMPORTANT!
-2(-5)= - and - is positive, so positive (2 times 5). Positive 10.
-2(+5)= - and + is negative, so negative (2 times 5). Negative 10.
+2(+5)= + and + is positive, so positive (2 times 5). Positive 10.
