Answer:

\huge{ \boxed{ \bold{g =  - 2}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find g we have to use the formula for finding the slope of the line passing through two points that's

m =  \frac{y_2 -y_ 1}{x_2 -x_1 }  \\

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are (g, -1) and (2, 5) and m = 3/2

We substitute it into the equation and find g

That's

\frac{3}{2}  =  \frac{5 -  - 1}{2 - g}  \\  \frac{3}{2}  =  \frac{5 + 1}{2 - g }  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \frac{3}{2}  =  \frac{6}{2 - g}  \\  \\ 3(2 - g) = 6(2) \\ 6 - 3g = 12 \\  - 3g = 12 - 6 \\  - 3g = 6 \\  \\  \frac{ - 3g}{ - 3}  =  \frac{6}{ - 3}  \\  \\ g =  - 2

We have the final answer as

<h3>g = - 2</h3>

Hope this helps you

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

a. 4.33.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is only one correct answer out of four alternatives, the expected proportion of correct answers is p =0.25

Sample size (n) = 100 questions

The standard deviation of a proportion 'p' is given by:

s=\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n} }

Applying the given data:

s=\sqrt{\frac{0.25*(1-0.25)}{100}}\\s=0.0433

If X is the number of correct responses in 100 guesses, the standard deviation of X is:

\sigma = n*s=100*0.0433\\\sigma = 4.33

The standard deviation of X is 4.33 questions.
