Sammy saw a fish swimming at a constant rate toward the ocean floor. From a starting position of 7 meters below sea level, the fish is descending 3 meters per second. Sammy said the equation y= -7x - 3 can be used to represent the situation. Explain why Sammy is incorrect and how he could fix it.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

what grade is this lol

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

y = 3x - (-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

As the fish starts at -7 meters below sea level, and is descending 3 meters per second, Sammy needs to subtract -7, and then multiply 3 by x. (x being the time is takes)

In parallelogram WXYZ, what are the coordinates of the point of intersection of WY and ZX?

Point of Intersection = ____ ____

Answers

Answer:

Point of intersection of WY and ZX is (3.5, 3.5).

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other,

Point of intersection of the diagonals will be midpoint of each diagonal.

By this property, midpoint (x, y) of the segment joining W(-2, 6) and Y(9, 1) will be,

[tex]x=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}[/tex]

x = [tex]\frac{-2+9}{2}[/tex] = 3.5

Similarly, y-coordinate of the midpoint will be,

y = [tex]\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}[/tex]

y = [tex]\frac{6+1}{2}[/tex] = 3.5

Therefore, point of intersection of the diagonals of the given parallelogram will be (3.5, 3.5).

You need to sketch f given the information you have.

f'(x) is approximately a a cubic polynomial which means f will look like a quartic (think W)

f slopes down (negative slope) to x=2 and then slopes down again...this is a horizontal tangent.

f then slopes down to to x=5 where is has a minimum and then slopes up.

Question 6 (1.25 points)
A researcher wants to test if the mean annual salary of all lawyers in a city is
different from $110,000. A random sample of 53 lawyers selected from the city
reveals a mean annual salary of $114,000. Assume that o = $17,000, and that the
test is to be made at the 1% significance level.
What is the value of the test statistic, z, rounded to three decimal places?
A

Answers

Answer:

Test statistic Z= 1.713

The calculated Z- value =  1.7130 < 2.576 at 0.01 level of significance

Null hypothesis is accepted

There is no difference between the  mean annual salary of all lawyers in a city is  different from $110,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

A researcher wants to test if the mean annual salary of all lawyers in a city is

different from $110,000

Mean of the Population  μ = $110,000

Sample size 'n' = 53

Mean of the sample x⁻ = $114,000.

standard deviation of the Population = $17,000,

Level of significance = 0.01

Null hypothesis :

There is no difference between the  mean annual salary of all lawyers in a city is  different from $110,000

H₀:  x⁻ =  μ

Alternative Hypothesis :  x⁻ ≠  μ

Step(ii):-

Test statistic

                 [tex]Z = \frac{x^{-}-mean }{\frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

                 [tex]Z = \frac{114000-110000}{\frac{17000}{\sqrt{53} } }[/tex]

                Z =  1.7130

Tabulated value Z = 2.576 at 0.01 level of significance

The calculated Z- value =  1.7130 < 2.576 at 0.01 level of significance

Null hypothesis is accepted

There is no difference between the  mean annual salary of all lawyers in a city is  different from $110,000

If three servings of ice cream has 24g of fat, how many milligrams of fat does one serving have?

Answers

Answer:

600

Step-by-step explanation:

24 by 3 times 100

The number of milligrams of fat that one serving has is 8000 milligrams.

Firstly, it should be noted that

1000mg = 1 gram.

Since three servings of ice cream has 24g of fat, therefore, the fa that will be contained in each will be:

= 24/3

= 8g

Therefore, we'll convert 8 grams to milligrams and this will be:

= 8 × 1000

= 8000 milligrams.

Therefore, a serving has 8000 milligrams.

To find :

Value of x

✎ Set up an equation and solve for x :

Add the like terms. Remember that Only coefficients of like terms can be added or subtracted.

➺ [tex] \sf{3x \degree + 90 \degree = 180 \degree}[/tex]

Move 90° to right hand side and change it's sign

➺ [tex] \sf{3x \degree = 180 \degree - 90 \degree}[/tex]

Subtract 90° from 180°

➺ [tex] \sf{3x \degree = 90 \degree}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3

➺ [tex] \sf{ \frac{3x \degree}{3} = \frac{90 \degree }{3} }[/tex]

In October of 2019, Gallup asked a random sample of 1,506 Americans which of two approaches to punishing murder they thought was better, the death penalty or life without possibility of parole. For the first time since Gallup began asking the question in 1985, a majority of Americans now say life imprisonment is a better approach for punishing murder than is the death penalty. According to the 2019 Gallup death-penalty poll, 60% percent of Americans asked to choose whether the death penalty or life without possibility of parole "is the better penalty for murder" chose the life-sentencing option. 36% favored the death penalty.

Required:
a. Find a 95% confidence interval for the proportion adults in the US that now believe life imprisonment is a better approach for punishing murder.
b. Interpret your interval above in the context of this problem.
c. Use your interval to find the margin of error associated with this confidence interval.
d. If we increase the level of confidence to 98%, will the interval be wider or narrower?

Answers

Answer:

a

The 95% confidence interval is   [tex]0.5753<  p <0.62474[/tex]  

b

 This 95% confidence interval tell us that there 95% confidence that the true proportion of adults in the US that now believe life imprisonment is a better approach for punishing murder lies within the interval

c

 The margin of error is   [tex]E =    0.02474 [/tex]  

d

 The confidence interval becomes wider

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The sample size is  n = 1506

    The sample proportion is  [tex]\^ p = 0.60[/tex]

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

      [tex]\alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%[/tex]

=>   [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] is  

   [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.96[/tex]

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

     [tex]E =  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{\frac{\^ p (1- \^ p)}{n} } [/tex]

=>   [tex]E =    1.96 * \sqrt{\frac{0.60 (1- 0.60)}{1506} } [/tex]    

=>   [tex]E =    0.02474 [/tex]  

Generally 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as  

      [tex]\^ p -E <  p <  \^ p +E[/tex]

=>   [tex]0.60 - 0.02474 <  p <0.60 + 0.02474[/tex]  

=>   [tex]0.5753<  p <0.62474[/tex]  

This 95% confidence interval tell us that there 95% confidence that the true proportion of adults in the US that now believe life imprisonment is a better approach for punishing murder lies within the interval

Generally the level of confidence varies directly with the critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] and this in turn varies directly with the margin of error which when sample proportion is constant it determines the width of the confidence interval so when the level of confidence increases the confidence interval becomes wider

An economist wants to estimate the mean per capita income (in thousands of dollars) for a major city in California. Suppose that the mean income is found to be $22.4 for a random sample of 2128 people. Assume the population standard deviation is known to be $9.3. Construct the 98% confidence interval for the mean per capita income in thousands of dollars. Round your answers to one decimal place.

Answers

Answer:

[21.9, 22.9] in thousands of dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Confidence Interval

= Mean ± z score × standard deviation/√n

Mean = $22.4

Standard deviation = $9.3

n = 2128

z score of 98% confidence interval = 2.326

Confidence Interval = 22.4 ± 2.326 × 9.3/√2128

= 22.4 ± 0.469

Confidence Interval =

22.4 - 0.469

= 21.931

≈ 21.9 in thousand of dollars

22.4 + 0.469

= 22.869

≈ 22.9 in thousands of dollars

Hence, the 98% confidence interval =

[21.9, 22.9] in thousands of dollars

10 workers produce 30 complex elements in 10 days. In how many days would 5
workers produce 24 elements?

Answers

Given:

10 workers produce 30 complex elements in 10 days.

To find:

The number of days, in which 5  workers produce 24 elements.

Solution:

According to the question, let as assume

[tex]n_1=10[/tex]

[tex]w_1=30[/tex]

[tex]d_1=10[/tex]

[tex]n_2=x[/tex]

[tex]w_2=24[/tex]

[tex]d_2=5[/tex]

where, n is number of workers, w is work done, and d is number of days.

We have, a formula,

[tex]\dfrac{n_1\times d_1}{w_1}=\dfrac{n_2\times d_2}{w_1}[/tex]

Substituting the values in the above formula, we get

[tex]\dfrac{10\times 10}{30}=\dfrac{x\times 5}{24}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{10}{3}=\dfrac{5x}{24}[/tex]

Isolate variable x.

[tex]\dfrac{10}{3}\times \dfrac{24}{5}=\dfrac{5x}{24}\times \dfrac{24}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{240}{15}=x[/tex]

[tex]16=x[/tex]

Therefore, the required number of days is 16.
