Step-by-step explanation:

as we have a point and the slope, we can start with the point-slope form and then transform.

the point-slope form is

y - y1 = a(x - x1)

(x1, y1) being a point on the line, a being the slope.

the slope-interceot form is

y = ax + b

a being the slope again, b being the y-intercept (the y value for x = 0).

so, we have

y - -5 = 5/2 × (x - -4)

y + 5 = 5/2 × (x + 4) = 5x/2 + 5×4/2 = 5x/2 + 10

y = 5x/2 + 5

y = (5/2)x + 5

and this is already the slope-intercept form. all done.

it rained nine days in the month of april .based on this ,what is the probaility that is does not rain on the first day of may?

attashe74 [19]

<h3>Answer: 7/10</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

There are 30 days in April. Since it rained 9 of those days, the empirical probability of it raining in April is 9/30 = (3*3)/(3*10) = 3/10.

If we assume that the same conditions (ie weather patterns) hold for May, then the empirical probability of it raining in May is also 3/10. By "raining in May", I mean specifically raining on a certain day of that month.

The empirical probability of it not raining on the first of May is therefore...

1 - (probability it rains)

1 - (3/10)

(10/10) - (3/10)

(10-3)/10

7/10

We can think of it like if we had a 10 day period, and 3 of those days it rains while the remaining 7 it does not rain.

13. Express the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis in symbolic form. Use the correct symbol (u, P, o) for the indica

liraira [26]

Answer:

Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : P = 4.1%

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : P > 4.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a psychologist claims that more than 4.1% of the population suffers from professional problems due to extreme shyness.

Let p = true percentage of the population that suffers from extreme shyness.

So, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : P = 4.1%

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : P > 4.1%

Here, null hypothesis states that % of the population who suffers from professional problems due to extreme shyness is equal to 4.1%.

On the other hand, alternate hypothesis states that more than 4.1% of the population suffers from professional problems due to extreme shyness.

So, the above hypothesis would be appropriate for conducting the test.
