The value of test statistic t is -2.39 and P-value is P(t₈< -2.39).
The mean and the standard deviation can be calculated from the below formulae:
Sample mean (X)= (∑xi)/n
Sample standard deviation (s)= √(∑xi- X)²/(n-1)
where, n is sample size = 9
xi= elements in sample
On calculation we get X as,
X = (3.5+6.5+6.5+5.5+19.5+7+12.5+20+10.5)/9 = 10.17
s = √(∑xi- X)²/(n-1)
= √(44.49+13.47+13.47+21.81+87.05+10.05+5.43+96.63+0.11)/8
= √36.57 = 6.04
t would represent the static, it is given by the formula,
t = (X-μ₀)/(s/√n)
where μ₀ = 15 from the data (the value we want to test)
t = (X-μ₀)/(s/√n) = (10.17-15)/(6.04/√9) = -2.39
The formula to find out P value is pv = P(t₈< -2.39)

The line 2y=3x intersects the ellipse x^2/8+y^2/18 = 1 at the points Q and R. What is the length of segment QR?
The distance between the points Q and R is 7.211 units.
What is an ellipse?In geometry, an ellipse is a two-dimensional shape, that is defined along its axes. An ellipse is formed when a cone is intersected by a plane at an angle with respect to its base. It has two focal points.
Given an equation of ellipse x²/8+y²/18 =1, a line 2y = 3x intersect the ellipse at points Q and R,
x²/8+y²/18 =1........ (i)
2y = 3x....... (ii)
Use eq 2 in 1, we get
x²/8+(3x/2)²/18 = 1
On solving, we get,
x²/4 = 1
x = ±2
And,
(2y/3)²/8+y²/18 = 1
On solving, we get,
y = ±3
Therefore, we got, y1 = 3, y2 = -3, x1 = 2 and x2 = -2
Using the distance formula, D = √(x1-x2)²+(y2-y1)²
QR = √(-2-2)²+(-3-3)² = 7.211
|QR| = 7.211
Hence, The distance between the points Q and R is 7.211 units.

In accordance with Pythagorean theorem, no point is 4 units away from point M.
What point is 4 units away from point M?
In this problem we find the coordinates of points A, B, C, whose coordinates are (- 4, 2), (2, 7) and (8, - 6), respectively, and the location of point M, whose coordinates are (- 4, - 6), all set on Cartesian plane. We need to determine if at least one of those three points (A, B, C) are four units away from point M. This can be checked by means of Pythagorean theorem:
AM = √[(- 4 - 2)² + [- 6 - (- 4)]²]
AM = √[(- 6)² + (- 2)²]
AM = 2√10 = √40
BM = √[(- 4 - 2)² + (- 6 - 7)²]
BM = √[(- 6)² + (- 13)²]
BM = √205
CM = √[(- 6 - 8)² + [- 4 - (- 6)]²]

Find the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means using the given information. Round to one decimal place, if necessary.
μ=77 and σ=14; n=64
The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means using the given information is 1.8
What does the mathematical term "rounding" mean?
Rounding is a method for estimating a specific number in a situation. To determine how to round a number, look at the next digit in the appropriate position; if it is less than 5, round down, and if it is greater than 5, round up. The precise rounding of decimal figures is referred to as "rounding decimals."
What are the guidelines for rounding off decimal numbers?
To locate the rounding digit, look at its right side.
If the right-side numbers are less than 5, consider them to be equal to zero.
The digit on the right is increased by one and the other digits are treated as zero if the right-side digits are greater than or equal to 5.
The population standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size, or n, gives the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means, or x, for any given population. Therefore:
For the provided data, the sampling distribution's standard deviation of sample means is [tex]\frac{14}{\sqrt{64} }[/tex], or 1.8.

Answer:
C) I, III, IV, II
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert each number into a decimal:
[tex]\textsf{I.} \quad \dfrac{58}{67}=0.86567...[/tex]
[tex]\textsf{II.} \quad 0.58\%=\dfrac{0.58}{100}=0.0058[/tex]
[tex]\textsf{III.} \quad 58\%=\dfrac{58}{100}=0.58[/tex]
[tex]\textsf{IV.} \quad 5.8\%=\dfrac{5.8}{100}=0.058[/tex]
Comparing the tenths of all the numbers, 8 is the biggest tenth, so 58/67 is the largest number.
The next biggest tenth is 5, so 58% is the next largest number.
The two remaining numbers have zero tenths, so compare their hundredths. 5 is the largest hundredth, so 5.8% is the next largest number. Therefore, 0.58% is the smallest number.
Therefore, the given set of numbers in order from greatest to least is:
I, III, IV, IIAnswer:
c) I, III, IV, II
Step-by-step explanation:
Values of l, ll, lll & lV respectively,
→ 58/67, 0.58%, 58%, 5.8%
→ 0.87, 0.0058, 0.58, 0.058
Arranging them in descending order,
→ 0.87 > 0.58 > 0.058 > 0.0058
→ 0.87, 0.58, 0.058, 0.0058
→ l, lll, lV, ll

Percentage is defined as a given part or amount in every hundred. It is a fraction with 100 as the denominator and is represented by the symbol "%".
Markup shows how much more a company's selling price is than the amount the item costs the company. In general, the higher the markup, the more revenue a company makes. Markup is the retail price for a product minus its cost, but the margin percentage is calculated differently.
Actual price = £98Markup percent = 50%Let's find 50% of £98

After 598 years the population of the country will be 677 million
The exponential model of the population is
A = 371.4 e^ (0.0241×t)
Where A is the total population in t years
t is the number of years
The population of the country = 677 million
677 million = 677e^8
Therefore the exponential equation will be
6.77 × [tex]10^8[/tex] = 371.4e^(0.0241t)
e^(0.0241t) = 6.77 × [tex]10^8[/tex] / 371.4
Divide the terms
e^(0.0241t) = 1822832.526
0.0241t = ln(1822832.526)
t = ln(1822832.526) / 0.0241
Divide the terms
t = 598.17
t ≈ 598 years
Hence, after 598 years the population of the country will be 677 million

Which set of transformations would prove AQRS-AUTS?
Reflect AUTS over y = 2, and dilate AUT'S' by a scale factor of 2 from point S.
Reflect AUTS over y = 2, and translate AU'T'S' by the rule (x - 2, y + 0).
Translate AUTS by the rule (x + 0, y + 6), and reflect AUT'S' over y = 6.
Translate AUTS by the rule (x-2, y + 0), and reflect AU'T'S' over y = 2.
Factor 5x^2+22x+8
Worth a large grade point, please help
You can subtract the right side and factor the result, or you can factor the left side then see what happens.
... 5x² +22x +8 = 5x +2
... 5x² + 2x +20x +8 = 5x +2 . . . . split the x term so we can factor by grouping
... x(5x +2) +4(5x +2) = (5x +2)
Now we can subtract the right side and finish the factoring.
... x(5x +2) +(4 - 1)(5x +2) = 0
... (x +3)(5x +2) = 0 . . . . . the factorization of your equation

If we start by subtracting the right side, we are looking to factor ...
... 5x² +17x +6 = 0
... 5x² +2x +15x +6 = 0 . . . . . split the x-term to help factoring by grouping
... x(5x +2) +3(5x +2) = 0 . . . factor pairs of terms
... (x +3)(5x +2) = 0 . . . . . . . . combine the results

Factoring quadratics with the leading coefficient not equal to 1 is similar to factoring when it is equal to 1. Here, (after subtracting the right side), we are looking for factors of 5·6 = 30 that add to 17, the coefficient of the x-term.
... 30 = 1·30 = 2·15 = 3·10 = 5·6
The sums of these factor pairs are 31, 17, 13, 11. We see that the factor pair (2, 15) is the one we want, as its sum is 17. You will note these are the numbers used to divide the x-term for factoring by grouping. We rewrote 17x as 2x +15x. (There are other ways to use these numbers, but this is perhaps the easiest to see and remember.)
Answer:
(5x + 2)(x + 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
So, we have the equation [tex]5x^2+22x+8[/tex] right?
To get the [tex]x^2[/tex] we are going to need 'something' x in the first x slots of our factor form, like this:
(?x ± ?)(?x ± ?)
5 is a prime number, so one of the x's will be a 5x, and the other one a 1x:
(5x ± z)(x ± q)
z * q must be 8, and 5 * q + z must be 22
2 * 4 is 8
Let's plug these values in:
(5x + 2)(x + 4)
Let's multiply this out:
[tex]5x^2+22x+8[/tex]
This matches with our original equation!
So, our answer is:
(5x + 2)(x + 4)
