Answer: f(x)=2-x^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The quadratic equation is
y=ax^2+bx+c
and c is equal to the y-intercept.
in the twi graphs shown both have the same shape but different y-intervepts.
c(the y-intercept) in the first graph is 5 and in the second graph(F) is 2.
On the graphing calculator it says that f(x)=2-x^2 is the correct answer therefore it is correct.

3^x+1 = 9^ 5x
a. x=3
b. x = 1/3
c. x=9
d. x= 1/9
Answer:
x = 1/9
Step-by-step explanation:
3^ (x+1) = 9 ^ (5x)
Replace 9 with 3^2
3^ (x+1) = 3^2 ^ (5x)
We know that a^b^c = a ^(b*c)
3^ (x+1) = 3^(2 * (5x))
3^ (x+1) = 3^(10x)
The bases are the same so the exponents are the same
x+1 = 10x
Subtract x from each side
x+1-x = 10x-x
1 = 9x
Divide each side by 9
1/9 = 9x/9
1/9 =x
In a certain city district the need for money to buy drugs is stated as the reason for 70% of all thefts. Find the probability that among the next 7 theft cases reported in this district, exactly 3 of them resulted from the need to buy drugs.
Answer:
9.72% probability that among the next 7 theft cases reported in this district, exactly 3 of them resulted from the need to buy drugs.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each theft, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the need to buy drugs is the reason of the theft, or it is not. Each theft is independent of each other. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
In a certain city district the need for money to buy drugs is stated as the reason for 70% of all thefts.
This means that [tex]p = 0.7[/tex]
Find the probability that among the next 7 theft cases reported in this district, exactly 3 of them resulted from the need to buy drugs.
This is P(X = 3) when n = 7. So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{7,3}.(0.7)^{3}.(0.3)^{4} = 0.0972[/tex]
9.72% probability that among the next 7 theft cases reported in this district, exactly 3 of them resulted from the need to buy drugs.
Los Angeles workers have an average commute of 33 minutes. Suppose the LA commute time is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 15 minutes. Let X represent the commute time for a randomly selected LA worker. Round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible.
a. What is the distribution of X? X N
b. Find the probability that a randomly selected LA worker has a commute that is longer than 38 minutes
c. Find the 80th percentile for the commute time of LA workers. _______ minutes
Answer:
a) N(33,15).
b) 37.33% probability that a randomly selected LA worker has a commute that is longer than 38 minutes
c) 45.6 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this question, we have that:
[tex]\mu = 33, \sigma = 15[/tex]
a. What is the distribution of X?
Normal with mean 33 and standard deviaton 15. So
N(33,15).
b. Find the probability that a randomly selected LA worker has a commute that is longer than 38 minutes
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 38. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{38 - 33}{15}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.333[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.333[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.6267.
1 - 0.6267 = 0.3733
37.33% probability that a randomly selected LA worker has a commute that is longer than 38 minutes
c. Find the 80th percentile for the commute time of LA workers.
This is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.8. So it is X when Z = 0.84.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]0.84 = \frac{X - 33}{15}[/tex]
[tex]X - 33 = 0.84*15[/tex]
[tex]X = 45.6[/tex]

A train is traveling at a constant speed and has traveled 67.5 miles in the last 11 hours.
Which equation shows the proportional relationship between the distance, d, and the time, t,
that the train has traveled?
A.d=45t
B.d=50t
C.d = 690
D.d=67.5t
Answer:
A. d= 45t
Step-by-step explanation:
(assuming that you meant 67.5 in the last 1.5 hours)
67.5 miles = distance
1.5 hours = time
therefore:
[tex]\frac{d}{t\\}[/tex] = 67.5/1.5
making your answer 45
leaving a as your correct answer:
d= 45t
The proportion relationship between the distance d, and the time t, that the train has travelled is, d = 45t. So the correct option is A).
What is a proportion relationship?Proportional relationships are relationships between two variables where their ratios are equivalent. Another way to think about them is that, in a proportional relationship, one variable is always a constant value times the other.
Given that, A train travels at a constant speed and has travelled 67.5 miles in the last 1.5 hours. (assuming that you meant 67.5 in the last 1.5 hours)
67.5 miles = distance
1.5 hours = time
We know that, speed = distance / time
s = 67.5/1.5
s = 45 mph
Now, distance = speed × time
d = 45t
Hence, the proportion relationship between the distance d, and the time t, that the train has travelled is, d = 45t. So the correct option is A).

It is believed that approximately 12% of the population of the United States is lefthanded. Suppose researchers suspect that the proportion of left-handed people is higher in certain states than the national average. The researchers conduct a sample of 200 randomly selected people in the state of Maine and find that 29 people in the sample are left-handed.
a. Write the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis and define your parameter.
b. Show that the necessary conditions (Randomization Condition, 10% Condition, Sample Size Condition) are satisfied to perform a hypothesis test. Briefly explain how each condition is satisfied.
c. Perform the hypothesis test and find the P-value. (To show your work: Write down what values you are entering into the hypothesis testing calculator.)
d. Is there strong evidence that the left-handed rate in the state of Maine is higher than the national average? Briefly explain how you know.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Null hypothesis: P = p
Alternatives hypothesis: P =/ p
Where P is the hypothesized population proportion and p is the sample proportion
b. Performing a test of proportions
Randomization: the sample was randomly selected in the study
The population size is at least 20 times as big as the sample size.
The sample includes both successes and failures with 29 success and 171 failures.
c. To perform the hypothesis test: we have to find the standard deviation first
Sd = sqrt[ P * ( 1 - P ) / n ]
where P is the hypothesized value of population proportion, n is the sample size.
Sd = √[0.12*(1-0.12)/200]
Sd = √[0.12*(0.88/200]
Sd = √[0.12*(0.0044)]
Sd = √0.000528
Sd = 0.023
Then we can find the z score
z = (p - P) / σ where p = 29/200 = 0.145
z = (0.145-0.12)/ 0.023
z = 0.025/0.023
z = 1.09
Calculation the p value using 0.05 level of significance and a two waited test (p value calculator),
A p-value of 0.2757 which is greater than 0.05, thus we will fail to reject the null stating that there is not enough strong evidence that the left-handed rate in the state of Maine is higher than the national average.

A random sample of 1141 men and 1212 women aged 25-64 y (response rate 76%) completed a questionnaire and underwent a short examination in a clinic. Intake of beer, wine and spirits during a typical week, frequency of drinking, and a number of other factors were measured by a questionnaire. The present analyses are based on 891 men and 1098 women who were either nondrinkers or 'exclusive' beer drinkers (they did not drink any wine or spirits in a typical week). 500 men are beer drinkers and 325 men from this group have the obesity. 80 non-drinkers men are obese.
Required:
a. What type of study desing?
b. Which parameters can be calculated?
c. Determine it and explain the results.
Answer:
(a) A cross sectional study (b) The parameter can be computed as follows: Non-drinkers who agree exposed to obesity, Drinkers who are exposed or vulnerable to obesity (c) A postie relationship is established from the experiment between drinkers who are exposed to obesity and non drinkers who are exposed to obesity
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) The type of design is refereed to as a cross sectional study
(b) Now, because 50 men are beer drinkers out of 891 men.
Hence we can deduce form this that 500/891 gives us 0.56%.
This suggest that 0.56% men are beer drinkers out of which 325 have obesity, lets take for example 235/500 = 0.65% are exposed to obesity in which 80/ (89-500) = 80/491 = 0.16%
The non drinkers are 0.16% and are not exposed to obesity
Thus,
The parameters to be calculated is stated below:
Non-drinkers who agree exposed to obesityDrinkers who are exposed or vulnerable to obesity(c) The next step is to determine and explain the results.
In this case we can say there is a positive relationship between drinkers and non drinkers, since from the experiment 0.65% are exposed to obesity and 0.16$ non drinkers are exposed to obesity.

have a PhD is 10 more than the number of females who have a PhD. If a third of the male
faculty in the Department have a PhD, then what is the number of female faculty in the
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
We can start by making the table below to show the given numbers (red) and to assign a variable (x) to the number we want to find: female PhDs.
By subtracting the female numbers from the totals, we can find the corresponding numbers of male PhDs and non-PhDs.
The number of male non-PhDs is twice the number of male PhDs, so we have ...
2(14 -x) = 20 -x
28 -2x = 20 -x . . . . eliminate parentheses
8 = x . . . . . . . . . . . .add 2x-20
The number of female faculty with PhDs is 8.
If f(x) = 4–1 and g(x) = 8x, which expression is equivalent to (g-1)(3)?
O 8-3-(4 + 3)
08-3-(4-32
813)-4432
O 6(3) 4-32
Answer:
Option (3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given functions are f(x) = 4 - x² and g(x) = 6x
We gave to find the expression for (g - f)(3).
(g - f)(x) = g(x) - f(x)
= 6x - (4 - x²)
= 6x - 4 + x²
By substituting x = 3 in this expression,
(g - f)(x) = 6(3) - 4 + (3)²
Therefore, option (3) will be the answer.

To test whether or not there is a difference between treatments A, B, and C, a sample of 12 observations has been randomly assigned to the three treatments. You are given the results below. Treatment Observation A 20 30 25 33 B 22 26 20 28 C 40 30 28 22 The test statistic to test the null hypothesis equals _____.
Answer:
The test statistic to test the null hypothesis equals 1.059
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given information; we have:
Treatment Observations
A 20 30 25 33
B 22 26 20 28
C 40 30 28 22
The objective is to find the test statistic to test the null hypothesis; in order to do that;we must first run through a series of some activities.
Let first compute the sum of the square;
Total sum of squares (TSS) = Treatment sum of squares [tex](T_r SS)[/tex] + Error sum of squares (ESS)
where:
(TSS) = [tex]\sum \limits ^v_{i=1} \sum \limits ^{n_i}_{j-1}(yij- \overline {y}oo)^2[/tex] with (n-1) df
[tex](T_r SS)[/tex] [tex]= \sum \limits ^v_{i=1} n_i( \overline yio- \overline {y}oo)^2[/tex] with (v-1) df
[tex](ESS) = \sum \limits ^v_{i=1} \sum \limits ^{n_i}_{j-1}(yij- \overline {y}io)^2[/tex] with (n-v) df
where;
v= 3
[tex]n_i=[/tex]4
i = 1,2,3
n =12
[tex]y_{ij}[/tex] is the [tex]j^{th[/tex] observation for the [tex]i^{th[/tex] treatment
[tex]\overline{y}io[/tex] is the mean of the [tex]i^{th[/tex] treatment i = 1,2,3 ; j = 1,2,3,4
[tex]\overline y oo[/tex] is the overall mean
From the given data
[tex]\overline y oo = \dfrac{1}{12} \sum \limits ^3_{i=1} \sum \limits ^{4}_{j=1}(yij)^2= 27[/tex]
[tex]TSS = \dfrac{1}{12} \sum \limits ^3_{i=1} \sum \limits ^{4}_{j=1}(yij- 27)^2 = 378[/tex]
[tex]T_r SS= \sum \limits^3_{i=1}4 (\overline y io - \overline yoo)^2[/tex]
[tex]=4(27-27)^2+4(24-27)^2+4(30-27)^2 = 72[/tex]
Total sum of squares (TSS) = Treatment sum of squares [tex](T_r SS)[/tex] + Error sum of squares (ESS)
(TSS) = 378 - 72
(TSS) = 306
Now; to the mean square between treatments (MSTR); we use the formula:
MSTR = TrSS/df(TrSS)
MSTR = 72/(3 - 1)
MSTR = 72/2
MSTR = 36
The mean square within treatments (MSE) is:
MSE = ESS/df(ESS)
MSE = 306/(12-3)
MSE = 306/(9)
MSE = 34
The test statistic to test the null hypothesis is :
[tex]T = \dfrac{ \dfrac{TrSS}{\sigma^2}/(v-1) }{ \dfrac{ESS}{\sigma^2}/(n-v) } = \dfrac{MSTR}{MSE} \ \ \ \approx \ \ T(\overline {v-1}, \overline {n-v})[/tex]
[tex]T = \dfrac{36}{34}[/tex]
T = 1.059
The first term in the sequence 5, 7, −7, ... is 5. Each even-numbered term is 2 more than the previous term and each odd-numbered term, after the first, is (−1) times the previous term. For example, the second term is 5+2 and the third term is (−1)×7. What is the 255th term of the sequence?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the condition, your terms are arranged as
5, 7 , -7 ,-5, 5, 7, -7, 5, -5,...................
So one loop will have 4 terms: 5, 7, -7. -5
Hence after 63 loops, the new loop has only 3 terms. That means the last loop will be 5, 7 ,-7. In other words, the 255th term will be -7

Suppose a company's revenue function is given by R(q) = - q^3 + 220q^2 and its cost function is given by C(q) = 500 + 13q, where q is hundreds of units sold/produced, while R(q) and C(q) are in total dollars of revenue and cost, respectively.
A) Find a simplified expression for the marginal profit function. (Be sure to use the proper variable in your answer.)
MP(q) =
B) How many items (in hundreds) need to be sold to maximize profits? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
A) MP(q) = -3q² + 440q - 13
B) 146.64 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
The profit function is given by the revenue minus the cost function:
[tex]P(q) = R(q) - C(q)\\P(q) = -q^3+220q^2-500-13q[/tex]
A) The Marginal profit function is the derivate of the profit function as a function of the quantity sold:
[tex]P(q) = -q^3+220q^2-500-13q\\MP(q) = \frac{dP(q)}{dq} \\MP(q)=-3q^2+440q-13[/tex]
B) The value of "q" for which the marginal profit function is zero is the number of items (in hundreds) that maximizes profit:
[tex]MP(q)=0=-3q^2+440q-13\\q=\frac{-440\pm \sqrt{440^2-(4*(-3)*(-13))} }{-6}\\q'=146.64\\q'' = - 0.03[/tex]
Therefore, the only reasonable answer is that 146.64 hundred units must be sold in order to maximize profit.

Chocolate chip cookies have a distribution that is approximately normal with a mean of 23.1 chocolate chips per cookie and a standard deviation of 2.9 chocolate chips per cookie. Find Upper P 10 and Upper P 90. How might those values be helpful to the producer of the chocolate chip cookies?
Answer:
[tex]z=-1.28<\frac{a-23.1}{2.9}[/tex]
And if we solve for a we got
[tex]a=23.1 -1.28*2.9=19.388[/tex]
And for the 90 percentile we can do this:
[tex]z=1.28<\frac{a-23.1}{2.9}[/tex]
And if we solve for a we got
[tex]a=23.1 +1.28*2.9=26.812[/tex]
The P10 would be 19.388 and the P90 26.812
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X the random variable that represent the chocolate chip cookies of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
[tex]X \sim N(23.1,2.9)[/tex]
Where [tex]\mu=23.1[/tex] and [tex]\sigma=2.9[/tex]
For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:
[tex]P(X>a)=0.90[/tex] (a)
[tex]P(X<a)=0.10[/tex] (b)
We can find a z score value who that satisfy the condition with 0.10 of the area on the left and 0.90 of the area on the right it's z=-1.28.
Using this value we can do this:
[tex]P(X<a)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{a-\mu}{\sigma})=0.10[/tex]
[tex]P(z<\frac{a-\mu}{\sigma})=0.10[/tex]
And we can solve for the value of interest
[tex]z=-1.28<\frac{a-23.1}{2.9}[/tex]
And if we solve for a we got
[tex]a=23.1 -1.28*2.9=19.388[/tex]
And for the 90 percentile we can do this:
[tex]z=1.28<\frac{a-23.1}{2.9}[/tex]
And if we solve for a we got
[tex]a=23.1 +1.28*2.9=26.812[/tex]
The P10 would be 19.388 and the P90 26.812
Bytecoin is a new cryptocurrency that is currently valued at $243 per coin. You want to make an investment and purchase 1 Bytecoin and cash out when its value reaches $1,000. Over the last 12 months, you ve seen the value of the Bytecoin grow exponentially at a rate of 15% per month! You want all of your friends and family to invest with you, but you need to make predictions about how long it will take for your $243 investment to earn $1,000. Write an exponential equation in the form y = a * b ^ x and explain what a and b represent
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The growth rate of the coin is exponential. We would apply the formula for exponential growth which is expressed as
y = ab^x
y = b(1 + r)^ t
Where
y represents the value of the coin after x months.
x represents the number of months.
a represents the initial value of the coin.
b represents rate of growth.
From the information given,
a = 243
b = 1 + 15/100 = 1 + 0.15 = 1.15
Therefore, the exponential expression to determine the number of months, x it will take for the coin to attain a certain value, y is expressed as
y = 243(1.15)^x
If y = 1000, it means that
1000 = 243(1.15)^x
1000/243 = 1.15^x
4.115 = 1.15^x
Taking log of both sides, it becomes
log 4.115 = xlog1.15
0.614 = 0.061x
x = 0.614/0.061
x = 10 months
It will take 10 months
