The correct answer is not (B). The critical value or values of X2 based on the given information are not -14.573 and 14.573. The correct answer is (C) 16.151, 40.113.

To find the critical value or values of X2, we need to refer to the Chi-Square distribution table or use a calculator that can calculate Chi-Square probabilities.

Given information:

Hypothesis: H1: σ ≠9.3 (which means the population standard deviation is not equal to 9.3)

Sample size: n = 28

Significance level: α = 0.05 (which corresponds to a 95% confidence level)

We need to find the critical value or values of X2 at a significance level of 0.05 with 27 degrees of freedom (n - 1 = 28 - 1 = 27) because we are dealing with a sample size of 28.

Using a Chi-Square distribution table or a calculator, the critical value of X2 at a significance level of 0.05 with 27 degrees of freedom is found to be 40.113. Since X2 is always positive, we only need to consider the upper tail of the Chi-Square distribution. Therefore, the critical value or values of X2 based on the given information are 16.151 and 40.113.

Therefore, the correct answer is (C) 16.151, 40.113.

Answer:

S = 2π(7^2) + π(7)(15) = 637.42 square cm.

D is correct.

The exact surface area is 203π square cm., or about 637.74 square cm.

Our general solution is  y = c1e((-3 + √(13))/2)t + c2e((-3 - √(13))/2)t  where c1 and c2 are constants determined by initial or boundary conditions.

To find the general solution to this differential equation, we first need to find the characteristic equation by assuming that y = e(rt) and substituting it into the equation.

So we have y" + 3y' - y = 0
Substituting y = e(rt) we get
r² e(rt) + 3r e(rt) - e(rt) = 0

Dividing by e^(rt) we get
r² + 3r - 1 = 0

Now we solve for r by using the quadratic formula:
r = (-3 ± √(3² - 4(1)(-1))) / (2(1))
r = (-3 ± √(13)) / 2

The value of the integral is 512/15. To evaluate the integral S4 0 (4-t)√t dt, we can use integration by substitution. Let u = √t, then du/dt = 1/(2√t), which implies that dt = 2u du.

Substituting u = √t and dt = 2u du, the integral becomes:

S4 0 (4-t)√t dt = S4 0 (4-t) u * 2u du = 2 S2 0 (4-u²) u² du

Now, we can expand the integrand and integrate term by term:

2 S2 0 (4-u²) u² du = 2 [∫4 0 u² du - ∫4 0 u⁴ du]

= 2 [(u³/3) |4 0 - (u⁵/5) |4 0]

= 2 [(64/3 - 64/5) - (0 - 0)]

= 2 [(320/15) - (64/15)]

The volume of the solid of revolution is approximately 23.5619 cubic units.

To find the volume of the solid of revolution obtained by rotating the region bounded by y = r² and y = 1 about the horizontal line y = 1, you can use the disk method. Here's the step-by-step explanation:

1. First, determine the limits of integration. Since y = r², r = sqrt(y). The curve intersects y = 1 when r² = 1, so r = 1. The limits of integration are from 0 to 1.

2. Next, find the radius of each disk, which is the distance from the curve y = r² to the horizontal line y = 1. The radius is (1 - r²).

3. Now, find the area of each disk. The area is given by A(r) = π(radius)² = π(1 - r²)².

4. Finally, integrate the area function from 0 to 1 to find the volume of the solid of revolution: V = ∫[0,1] π(1 - r²)² dr.

Evaluating the integral, you get V ≈ 23.5619.

The interval of convergence for the power series is (2-1/2, 2+1/2), or (3/2, 5/2).

Hence, the interval of convergence of the given power series is (3/2, 5/2).

To find the interval of convergence of the given power series:

We will first apply the Ratio Test:

[tex]|(-8)^{n+1} (x-2)^{3(n+1)} (n+1)^2 + 1| |(-8)^n (x-2)^{3n} (n^2 + 1)|[/tex]

___________________ = lim ____________________________________

[tex]|(-8)^n (x-2)^{3n} (n^2 + 1)| |(-8)^{n+1} (x-2)^{3(n+1)} (n+1)^2 + 1|[/tex]

Simplifying this expression, we get:

[tex]lim |(-8)(x-2)^3(n+1)^2 + 1|/(n^2+1)[/tex]

As n approaches infinity, the [tex](n+1)^2[/tex]  term in the numerator becomes dominant, so the limit simplifies to:

[tex]lim |-8(x-2)^3(n+1)^2|/n^2[/tex]

[tex]= 8|(x-2)|^3 lim (n+1)^2/n^2[/tex]

Using the limit properties, we can simplify the above limit to:

[tex]8|(x-2)|^3 lim (1 + 1/n)^2[/tex]

As n approaches infinity, the term [tex](1/n)^2[/tex] becomes negligible and the limit simplifies to:

[tex]8|(x-2)|^3 lim 1 = 8|(x-2)|^3[/tex]

Thus, the series converges absolutely if[tex]8|(x-2)|^3[/tex] < 1.

Solving the above inequality for x, we get:

The mean of the distribution of sample means (also known as the expected value of the sample mean) is equal to the population mean, which is u = 118.9.

The standard deviation of the distribution of sample means (also known as the standard error of the mean) is equal to the population standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size. Therefore,

o/sqrt(n) = 22.3/sqrt(94) = 2.30 (rounded to 2 decimal places)

So the standard deviation of the distribution of sample means is 2.30.

For a population with parameters μ = 118.9 (mean) and σ = 22.3 (standard deviation), if you draw a random sample of size n = 94, the mean of the distribution of sample means (us) is equal to the population mean, which is:

us = μ = 118.9

The standard deviation of the distribution of sample means, also known as the standard error, can be calculated using the formula:

Standard Error (SE) = σ / √n

The formula for f(t) is calculated to be f(t) = 15e^(-0.1714t)

Let's start with the given information: the rate of change of f(t) is proportional to the value of f(t) at any time. This means that we can write:

f'(t) = k*f(t)

where k is the proportionality constant. To solve for f(t), we need to find the value of k.

We know that 15 units of medicine were injected initially, and after 35 minutes, only 9 units remained. Let's use this information to find k.

We can write the following equation to represent the rate of change of f(t):

f'(t) = -r*f(t)

where r is the rate at which the medicine is leaving the dog's body. We know that after 35 minutes, 6 units of medicine were used, so:

r = (6 units) / (35 minutes) = 0.1714 units/minute

Now we can solve for k by using the given information that at t=0, f(0) = 15:

f'(t) = k*f(t)

f'(0) = kf(0) = -rf(0)

k = -r = -0.1714

So now we have k and we can solve for f(t) using the differential equation:

f'(t) = -0.1714*f(t)

Separating variables and integrating, we get:

ln(f(t)) = -0.1714*t + C

where C is the constant of integration. Solving for f(t), we get:

f(t) = e^(-0.1714*t + C)

To find the value of C, we use the initial condition f(0) = 15:

f(0) = e^(C) = 15

C = ln(15)

So the final formula for f(t) is:

f(t) = 15e^(-0.1714t)

An alternative method involves using the divisibility rule of 3, which states that a number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.

Since we are looking for multiples of 3, we can apply this rule to the digits of each number in the allowed set. We notice that the digits 1, 2, and 6 are already multiples of 3, so any combination of these digits will be a multiple of 3. Similarly, the digits 3 and 9 are also multiples of 3, but they are not in the allowed set. Therefore, any combination of the allowed digits that contains 3 or 9 will not be a multiple of 3.

Now, we consider the even numbers. An even number is a multiple of 2, so it must end in either 2 or 8.

Therefore, any combination of the allowed digits that ends in any other digit will not be even. Using this information, we can generate a list of all possible combinations of the allowed digits that end in 2 or 8.

The difference between the linear and projectile motion is that "Linear-motion" refers to motion of object in a "straight-line", while "projectile-motion" refers to motion of an object that is thrown into air, in a curved path.

In linear motion, the object moves along a straight line, with its velocity and acceleration aligned in the same direction. The object's speed and direction may change, but its motion remains linear.

In projectile motion, the object moves along a curved path under the influence of gravity. The object is launched into the air with an initial velocity, and then gravity causes it to follow a parabolic path until it lands back on the ground. The motion of the object is influenced by both its initial velocity and the force of gravity.

In both linear and projectile motion, the "horizontal-component" of velocity will usually remain constant because there is no external force acting on the object in horizontal direction, and thus no acceleration.

Therefore, the object will continue to move at a constant velocity in the horizontal direction, as long as there is no external force acting on it.

Assuming an annual interest rate that is compounded monthly, the answer is $61,025 rounded to the nearest cent.

To calculate how much interest they would earn over the life of the account, we would need to know the interest rate.

To determine the value of the fund after 2, 4, and 6 years, we would need to know the interest rate and the amount placed in the account each month.

To calculate how much interest was earned during the second month of the 4th year, we would need to know the interest rate and the amount in the fund at that time.

A corporation creates a sinking fund to have $340,000 in 3 years for machinery replacement. The account's annual interest rate is compounded monthly. To determine the monthly deposit amount, we can use the sinking fund formula:

FV = PMT * (((1 + r)^nt - 1) / r)

where FV is the future value of the account ($340,000), PMT is the monthly deposit amount, r is the monthly interest rate, n is the number of times the interest is compounded per year (12 for monthly), and t is the number of years (3 in this case).

We need to solve for PMT:

$340,000 = PMT * (((1 + r)^36 - 1) / r)

To find the monthly deposit amount, we need the annual interest rate (not provided in the question). Once we have the interest rate, we can find the PMT value and calculate the interest earned over the account's life, as well as the fund's value after 2, 4, and 6 years.

The events A and B are not independent. This can be answered by the concept of Probability.

Two events A and B are considered independent if the occurrence of one event does not affect the probability of the other event occurring. In this case, we are given that the probability of event A occurring is 0.2, the probability of event B occurring is 0.3, and the probability of both events occurring is 0.05.

To determine if the events A and B are independent, we can check if the probability of event A occurring is the same whether or not event B has occurred. Similarly, we can check if the probability of event B occurring is the same whether or not event A has occurred.

Let's start with the probability of event A occurring given that event B has occurred. We can use conditional probability to calculate this:

P(A|B) = P(A and B) / P(B)

Substituting the given probabilities, we get:

P(A|B) = 0.05 / 0.3 = 1/6

Now, let's compare this to the probability of event A occurring without any knowledge of event B, which is simply given as P(A) = 0.2. Since P(A|B) is not equal to P(A), we can conclude that event A is dependent on event B.

Similarly, we can check if event B is dependent on event A:

P(B|A) = P(A and B) / P(A)

Substituting the given probabilities, we get:

P(B|A) = 0.05 / 0.2 = 1/4

Again, since P(B|A) is not equal to P(B) = 0.3, we can conclude that event B is also dependent on event A.

Therefore, we can conclude that events A and B are not independent.

Answer:

8i + 34j

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]4v - 2w \\ 4(5i + 4j) - 2(6i - 9j) \\ 20i + 16j - 12i + 18j \\ 20i - 12i + 16j + 18j \\ 8i + 34j[/tex]

The  correct choice is:

A(BC) =

-722 -164

-184 -72

We solve the matrix operation A(BC) as follows:

BC =

4(9) + (-2)(-2) + (-6)(-1) 4(8) + (-2)(-4) + (-6)(-2)

1(9) + 9(-2) + (-4)(-1) 1(8) + 9(-4) + (-4)(-2)

BC =

46 44

-15 -34

we then multiply A with BC as follows:

A(BC) =

-7 -8

-4 4

×

46 44

-15 -34

=

((-7)(46) + (-8)(-15)) ((-7)(44) + (-8)(-34))

((-4)(46) + (4)(-15)) ((-4)(44) + (4)(-34))

=

-722 -164

-184 -72

The normal vector of the tangent plane to the surface defined by (b) <-44e168, -80e168, 0>.

The normal vector of the tangent plane to a surface at a given point is perpendicular to the tangent plane and points outward from the surface. In this case, the surface is defined by the equation z = ex² + 18xy + 2y², and the point of interest is (-4, -2, e⁹⁶).

To find the normal vector, we need to calculate the gradient of the surface at the given point, which involves finding the partial derivatives of the surface equation with respect to x, y, and z, and evaluating them at the point (-4, -2, e⁹⁶).

The resulting vector will be the normal vector of the tangent plane at that point.

Taking the partial derivatives of the surface equation, we get:

∂z/∂x = 2ex² + 18y

∂z/∂y = 18x + 4y

Evaluating these partial derivatives at (-4, -2, e⁹⁶), we get:

∂z/∂x at (-4, -2, e⁹⁶) = 2e(-4)^2 + 18(-2) = -44e¹⁶⁸

∂z/∂y at (-4, -2, e⁹⁶) = 18(-4) + 4(-2) = -80e¹⁶⁸

Hence , the normal vector of the tangent plane at the point (-4, -2, e⁹⁶) is <-44e¹⁶⁸, -80e¹⁶⁸, 0>, which corresponds to option (b) <-44e168, -80e168, 0>.
