Joan conducted a study to see how common binge drinking is on her college campus. She defined "frequent binge drinking" as havin

g five or more drinks in a row three or more times in the past two weeks. Out of 593 students who replied to her survey, 64 fit this criterion. Joan wants to construct a significance test for her data. She finds that the proportion of binge drinkers nationally is 13.1%. The z statistic for this data is __________.

z = -1.66. The Z-statistic is calculated as follows. Here X signifies the obtained proportion. p stands for the mean proportion. The formula includes the standard error for the sample. From a total of 593 surveyed students, 64 met the criteria described. Thus, if the national percentage of binge drinkers is 13.1%, she has found the proportion in her data. The resulting z statistic for the dataset is derived accordingly.

A 120-liter solution that is 5% salt is mixed with an
lawyer [12517]
First, combine the solution and salt: 120 liters + 80 liters = 200 liters. The percentages average out: 5% + 15% = 20%. Therefore, the ratio is 20:200, leading to a concentration calculation of 20/200 = 0.10. Ultimately, the final concentration is 10% salt.

Find the inverse of y=x2-10x
AnnZ [12381]
<span>This is quite challenging, but here’s the solution:
</span>

y = x^2 - 10x + 25 - 25

<span> y = (x-5)^2 - 25</span>

<span> y + 25 = (x-5)^2</span>

<span> x - 5 = ±sqrt(y+25)</span>

 

<span> You will derive TWO inverses:</span>

 

<span> x = 5 + sqrt(y+25),</span> for x ≥ 5

<span> x = 5 - sqrt(y+25),</span> for x ≤ 5

The graph below shows the solution to which system of inequalities?
Zina [12379]
The solution is C. Let’s start by identifying the equations without inequalities. Since there's a dotted line at y = 1, options A and B can be disregarded. Dotted lines indicate exclusivity, so they do not encompass the = sign. Therefore, the answer must be C.

Find the value of x in the isosceles triangle shown below.
Leona [12618]

Solution:

x=8

Detailed explanation:

This isosceles triangle consists of two right triangles with sides equal to 8,\sqrt{80}, and y

Considering we possess two sides of a right triangle, determining the third side can be achieved using the Pythagorean Theorem

(\sqrt{80} )^2=8^2+y^2\\\\80=64+y^2\\\\y^2=16\\\\y=4

Because it is an isosceles triangle, these two right triangles are the same, thus x=2y

Hence, x=2(4)=8
