What is the slope intercept equation of the line shown below

We have sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean is less than 126 at the 1% level of significance.

The null hypothesis is that the mean is equal to 126.

H0: μ = 126

The alternative hypothesis is that the mean is less than 126.

Ha: μ < 126

We will use a one-tailed t-test for this problem, with a significance level of 0.01 and 100 degrees of freedom (n-1).

a) State the hypotheses.

H0: μ = 126

Ha: μ < 126

b) Calculate the test statistic.

t = (x - μ) / (s / √n)

where x is the sample mean, μ is the hypothesized population mean, s is the sample standard deviation, and n is the sample size.

Plugging in the values given, we get:

t = (120.96 - 126) / (21.42 / √101) = -2.96

c) State the rejection criterion for the null hypothesis.

We will reject the null hypothesis if the test statistic is less than the critical value from the t-distribution with 100 degrees of freedom and a one-tailed test at a significance level of 0.01.

Using a t-table or a calculator, we find the critical value to be -2.364.

d) Draw your conclusion.

Since our test statistic (-2.96) is less than the critical value (-2.364), we reject the null hypothesis. We have sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean is less than 126 at the 1% level of significance.

Answer:

x^3 + 5x^2 + 2x - 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of a polynomial function, we need to know the roots and the degree of the function. We are given the roots -4, -2, and 1.

Since these are the roots, we know that the factors of the polynomial are (x + 4), (x + 2), and (x - 1). We can find the equation by multiplying these factors together:

(x + 4)(x + 2)(x - 1)

To simplify this expression, we can use FOIL (First, Outer, Inner, Last) method:

(x + 4)(x + 2)(x - 1) = (x^2 + 2x + 4x + 8)(x - 1) = (x^2 + 6x + 8)(x - 1)

Expanding further, we get:

(x^2 + 6x + 8)(x - 1) = x^3 + 6x^2 + 8x - x^2 - 6x - 8 = x^3 + 5x^2 + 2x - 8

Therefore, the equation is:

x^3 + 5x^2 + 2x - 8.

The graph of g(x) is a V-shaped graph centered at x = -3, with the vertex at (-3, -2), and opening downward.

We have,

The graph of the function g(x) = -|x+3| - 2 can be obtained by first graphing the function f(x) = |x| and then transforming the graph.

The function f(x) = |x| is a V-shaped graph that passes through the origin and has a slope of 1 on either side of the origin.

The function -|x| is the reflection of f(x) about the x-axis and has the same shape, but opens downwards.

To obtain the graph of g(x) = -|x+3| - 2, we first shift the graph of -|x| three units to the left to get the graph of -|x+3|.

This means that the V-shape of the graph is centered at x = -3.

Then we shift the entire graph downward by 2 units to get the final graph of g(x).

Therefore,

The graph of g(x) is a V-shaped graph centered at x = -3, with the vertex at (-3, -2), and opening downward.

Categorical variables, such as nominal and ordinal scales, are weaker than continuous variables, such as interval and ratio scales, in terms of the type of information statistics on them yield. Categorical variables only provide limited information and are not as precise as continuous variables. Categorical variables have weaknesses related to limited statistical analysis and potential loss of information, while continuous variables can be sensitive to outliers and require more advanced statistical techniques for analysis. Both types of variables provide valuable information but have limitations when analyzing statistics.

Let's discuss the relative weakness of categorical and continuous variables with respect to the type of information statistics on them yield.

Categorical variables are those that can be divided into categories, and they include nominal and ordinal scales. Nominal variables have no inherent order (e.g., hair color), while ordinal variables have a clear order (e.g., educational level).

Weakness:
1. Limited statistical analysis: Since categorical variables have no numerical value, certain statistical measures, such as mean and standard deviation, cannot be applied to them.
2. Loss of information: Categorical variables can sometimes oversimplify data, leading to a loss of information when grouping continuous data into categories.

Continuous variables are those that can take any value within a defined range, and they include interval and ratio scales. Interval variables have a constant distance between values but no absolute zero (e.g., temperature in Celsius), while ratio variables have a constant distance and an absolute zero (e.g., height).

Weakness:
1. Susceptibility to outliers: Continuous variables are more sensitive to extreme values (outliers), which can significantly affect the statistics derived from them, such as the mean.
2. Data complexity: Continuous variables often require more advanced statistical techniques for analysis, which may be challenging for those without a strong background in statistics.

Step-by-step explanation:

The researcher needs a sample of at least 46 days.

We have,

To estimate the true mean water temperature within 4 with 90% confidence, given that the variance is 27%, we need to use the formula for sample size in a confidence interval estimation:
n = (Z² x σ²) / E²
where n is the required sample size, Z is the Z-score corresponding to the desired confidence level (90%), σ^2 is the variance (27%), and E is the margin of error (4).

We can find the Z-score for a 90% confidence level using a standard normal table, which is 1.645.
Now we can plug the values into the formula:
n = (1.645² x 0.27) / 4²
n = (2.706025 x 0.27) / 16
n = 0.729625 / 16
n = 0.0456015625

Since we cannot have a fraction of a day, we need to round up to the nearest whole number to ensure the desired accuracy.

Answer:

(x+10)² + (y+5)² = 125

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a circle has a center (-10,-5), and passes through the point (-5,5).

We want to write the equation of this circle in the standard equation. The standard equation is (x-h)² + (y-k)² = r² where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius.

As we are already given the center point, we can substitute its values into the equation.

Reminder: the equation uses negative values, and we have negative numbers.

(x--10)² + (y--5)² = r²

This can be simplified to:

(x+10)² + (y+5)² = r²

Now, we need to find r².

As the point passes through (-5,5), we can use its values to solve for r².

Substitute -5 as x and 5 as y.

(-5+10)² + (5+5)² = r²

(5)² + (10)² = r²

25 + 100 = r²

125=r²

The radius is 125

Substitute 125 as r².

(x+10)² + (y+5)² = 125

If the sum of squares for error (SSE) is 40 and the sum of squares due to the model (SSM) is 60, therefore, the answer is (c) 0.60.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solution to the system of equations represented by the two lines, we need to find the point where they intersect on the graph.

First, let's find the coordinates of the intersection point by solving the system of equations. We have:

y = (3/2)x (Equation 1)

y = (-1/2)x + 4 (Equation 2)

To find the intersection point, we need to set the two equations equal to each other:

(3/2)x = (-1/2)x + 4

Simplifying this equation, we get:

2x = 8

x = 4

Now that we know x = 4, we can substitute this value into either Equation 1 or Equation 2 to find the corresponding value of y:

y = (3/2)x

y = (3/2)(4)

y = 6

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations represented by the two lines is (4, 6).

The probability of selecting a red card or a king from a deck of 52 cards is 28/52, which can be simplified to 7/13.

To find the probability of selecting a red card or a king from a deck of 52 cards, follow these steps:

1. Determine the total number of red cards in the deck. There are 26 red cards, as there are 13 cards of each red suit (hearts and diamonds).
2. Determine the total number of kings in the deck. There are 4 kings, one from each suit.
3. Determine the overlap between red cards and kings. There are 2 red kings (king of hearts and king of diamonds).
4. Use the principle of inclusion-exclusion to account for the overlap. This means we'll add the probabilities of the two individual events and subtract the probability of their intersection (overlap).
5. Calculate the probability of each event and their intersection:
  - Probability of a red card: 26/52 (number of red cards / total cards)
  - Probability of a king: 4/52 (number of kings / total cards)
  - Probability of a red king: 2/52 (number of red kings / total cards)
6. Apply the inclusion-exclusion principle:
  - Probability of a red card or a king = (Probability of a red card) + (Probability of a king) - (Probability of a red king)
  - Probability = (26/52) + (4/52) - (2/52) = 28/52

It is true that When the central bank raises the discount rate, commercial banks are likely to reduce their borrowing of reserves from the Fed.

The discount rate is the interest rate at which commercial banks can borrow reserves from the central bank, such as the Federal Reserve in the United States. An increase in the discount rate makes borrowing from the Fed more expensive for commercial banks.

As a result, commercial banks may choose to call in loans to replace the reserves they would have otherwise borrowed from the central bank. Calling in loans refers to the process of demanding the repayment of outstanding loans from borrowers, which allows the bank to obtain funds to maintain their required reserve levels. By calling in loans, banks can avoid the higher cost of borrowing from the Fed due to the increased discount rate.

Overall, a higher discount rate can encourage commercial banks to reduce their borrowing of reserves from the central bank and instead call in loans to maintain their reserve requirements. This can lead to tighter credit conditions in the economy, as banks may be less willing to extend new loans to borrowers, potentially slowing down economic growth.

It appears there is an error in the table. The correct table is:

[tex]\begin{array}{|l|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}\cline{1-11}\vphantom{\dfrac12}\textsf{Hours spent studying $(x)$}&0&1&2&4&4&4&6&6&7&8\\\cline{1-11}\vphantom{\dfrac12}\textsf{Test score $(y)$}&35&40&46&65&67&70&82&88&82&95\\\cline{1-11}\end{array}[/tex]

The simplest method to find the linear regression equation and the correlation coefficient for this data set is to use a statistical calculator.

After entering the data into a statistical calculator we get:

The regression line of y on x is y = a + bx.

Therefore, substitute the found values of a and b into the formula to write the linear regression equation for the given data set:

[tex]\boxed{y=34.27+7.79x}[/tex]

The correlation coefficient is the value of r, so r = 0.98 to the nearest hundredth.

The correlation coefficient, r, measures the strength of the linear correlation between two variables. |t is always between +1 and -1.

As r = 0.98, there is a very strong positive correlation.

In context, this suggests that the more hours of studying for a test a student does, the higher their test score.
