Answer:

Choice C: $m=\frac{1}{2}; y=\frac{1}{2} x+4$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find your slope do:

$\frac{y^2-y^1}{x^2-x^1}$

$\frac{3-4}{-2-0}=\frac{-1}{-2} =\frac{1}{2}$

that's how you get 1/2

4 is just the y-int.

Let us suppose we have data on the absorbency of paper towels that were produced by two different manufacturing processes. From

maksim [4K]

Answer:

The 95% CI for the difference of means is:

$-155.45 \leq \mu_1-\mu_2 \leq -44.55$

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The question is incomplete:</em>

<em>"Find a 95% confidence interval on the difference of the towels mean absorbency produced by the two processes. Assumed that the standard deviations are estimated from the data. Round to two decimals places."</em>

Process 1:

- Sample size: 10

- Mean: 200

- S.D.: 15

Process 2:

- Sample size: 4

- Mean: 300

- S.D.: 50

The difference of the sample means is:

$M_d=M_1-M_2=200-300=-100$

The standard deviation can be estimated as:

$\sigma_d=\sqrt{\frac{\sigma_1^2}{n_1}+\frac{\sigma_2^2}{n_2}}\\\\\sigma_d=\sqrt{\frac{15^2}{10}+\frac{50^2}{4}} =\sqrt{22.5+625}=\sqrt{647.5}=25.45$

The degrees of freedom are:

$df=n_1+n_2-2=10+4-2=12$

The t-value for a 95% confidence interval and 12 degrees of freedom is t=±2.179.

Then, the confidence interval can be written as:

$M_d-t\cdot \sigma_d\leq \mu_1-\mu_2 \leq M_d+t\cdot \sigma_d\\\\-100-2.179*25.45\leq \mu_1-\mu_2 \leq -100+2.179*25.45\\\\-100-55.45 \leq \mu_1-\mu_2 \leq -100+55.45\\\\ -155.45 \leq \mu_1-\mu_2 \leq -44.55$

Given: KL ║ NM , LM = 45, m∠M = 50° KN ⊥ NM , NL ⊥ LM Find: KN and KL

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

$KL=45\tan 50^{\circ}\sin 50^{\circ}\approx 41.08\\ \\KN=45\sin 50^{\circ}\approx 34.47$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

KL ║ NM ,

LM = 45

m∠M = 50°

KN ⊥ NM

NL ⊥ LM

Find: KN and KL

1. Consider triangle NLM. This is a right triangle, because NL ⊥ LM. In this triangle,

LM = 45

m∠M = 50°

So,

$\tan \angle M=\dfrac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{adjacent leg}}=\dfrac{NL}{LM}=\dfrac{NL}{45}\\ \\NL=45\tan 50^{\circ}$

Also

$m\angle LNM=90^{\circ}-50^{\circ}=40^{\circ}$ (angles LNM and M are complementary).

2. Consider triangle NKL. This is a right triangle, because KN ⊥ NM . In this triangle,

$NL=45\tan 50^{\circ}$

$m\angle KLN=m\angle LNM=40^{\circ}$ (alternate interior angles)

$m\angle KNL=90^{\circ}-40^{\circ}=50^{\circ}$ (angles KNL and KLN are complementary).

So,

$\sin \angle KNL=\dfrac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{hypotenuse}}=\dfrac{KL}{LN}=\dfrac{KL}{45\tan 50^{\circ}}\\ \\KL=45\tan 50^{\circ}\sin 50^{\circ}\approx 41.08$

and

$\cos \angle KNL=\dfrac{\text{adjacent leg}}{\text{hypotenuse}}=\dfrac{KN}{LN}=\dfrac{KN}{45\tan 50^{\circ}}\\ \\KN=45\tan 50^{\circ}\cos 50^{\circ}=45\sin 50^{\circ}\approx 34.47$
