Answer: y = 2x - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear equation has the following form.

y = a . x + b

where,

y: independent variable

a: slope

x: independent variable

b: y-intercept

The slope is 2, so a is 2. The ordered pair (4, -3) means that when x takes the value 4, y takes the value -3. We can replace these values in the general equation to find the y-intercept.

y = a . x + b

-3 = 2 . 4 + b

b = -11

The linear equation is

y = 2x - 11

Answer:

C. is the correct option

Step-by-step explanation:

When we find the equation using the point and slope formula, we get y=-3x+10

As you can see, that doesn't match any of the answers, since it is in the point-slope formula.

We can start solving all the equations to rule out the correct one, but to save yourself from reading all of this, I'll just do there C.

For this equation, we will distribute the 3, and then add 4 to both sides.

y-4=-3(x-2) --->  y-4=-3x+6 ---> y-4(+4)=-3x+6(+4) ---> y=-3x+10

This leads back to the original equation so we know it is correct.

Data consistent with summary quantities in the article "Effects of Fast-Food Consumption on Energy Intake and Diet Quality Among
Olegator [25]

Answer:

a) X[bar]₁=  1839.20 cal

b) X[bar]₂= 1779.07 cal

c) S₁= 386.35 cal

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

You have two independent samples,

Sample 1: n₁= 15 children that did not eat fast food.

Sample 2: n₂= 15 children that ate fast food.

The study variables are:

X₁: Calorie consumption of a kid that does not eat fast food in one day.

X₂: Calorie consumprion of a kid that eats fast food in one day.

a)

The point estimate of the population mean is the sample mean

X[bar]₁= (∑X₁/n₁) = (27588/15)= 1839.20 cal

b)

X[bar]₂= (∑X₂/n₂)= (26686/15)= 1779.07 cal

c)

To calculate the sample standard deiation, you have to calculate the sample variance first:

S₁²= \frac{1}{n_1-1}[∑X₁² - (( ∑X₁)²/n₁)]= \frac{1}{14} + [52829538 - (\frac{27588^{2} }{15}) = 149263.4571 cal²

S₁= 386.35 cal

I hope it helps!

In a certain lottery game, 34 numbers are randomly mixed and 7 are selected. A person must pick all 7 numbers to win. Order is n
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

p(win)=0.00094

Step-by-step explanation:

-This is a factorial/combination question.

-The probability is calculated using the formula:

p=\frac{x!}{_nC_x}\\\\

Where:

x is the number of successful picks

n is the total number of picks

Therefore, we calculate the probability as follows;

Pp=\frac{x!}{_nC_x}\\\\=\frac{7!}{_{34}C_7}\\\\=0.00094

Hence, the probability of winning is 0.00094
