The equation of the line is b = am + c

<h3>What are linear equations?</h3>

Linear equations are equations that have a constant slope, average rate of change or gradients

<h3>How to determine the line equation?</h3>

The point is given as

(x, y) = (a, b)

The slope is given as

Slope = m

A linear equation is represented as

y = mx + c

Where me represents the slope

Substitute (x, y) = (a, b)

b = am + c

Hence, the equation of the line is b = am + c

1. Jeremy has $12000 cash to invest in the bank compounded at 4% interest annually.

gavmur [86]

Answer:

$A(x) = 12000(1.04)^x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound interest:

The compound interest formula is given by:

$A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

Where A(t) is the amount of money after t years, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year and t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.

$12000 cash

This means that $P = 12000$

Compounded at 4% interest annually.

This means that $r = 0.04, n = 1$

What equation will calculate the value in x years?

$A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

$A(x) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nx}$

$A(x) = 12000(1 + 0.04)^x$

$A(x) = 12000(1.04)^x$

(a) A newspaper conducted a statewide survey concerning the 1998 race for state senator. The newspaper took a SRS of 1200 regist

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

n=9604

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Notation and definitions

$X=620$ number of people that would vote for the Republican candidate

$n=1200$ random sample taken

$\hat p=\frac{620}{1200}=0.517$ estimated proportion of people that would vote for the Republican candidate

$p$ true population proportion of people that would vote for the Republican candidate

Me= 0.01 represent th margin of error.

Confidence =0.95 or 95%

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1- p)}{n}})$

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ . And the critical value would be given by:
