Answer:

"subtracting b, then dividing by m"

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for a particular variable, look a the operations that are being performed on that variable. Then "undo" those operations in reverse order.

Here, the operations done to x are ...

• multiply by m

• add b to the product

Using the above recipe, first we "undo" the additon of b. We accomplish that by subtracting b from both sides of the equation. This gives ...

y - b = mx + b - b

y - b = mx . . . . . . . . . simplify

Next, we "undo" the multiplicatin by m. We accomplish that by dividing both sides of the equation by m.

(y -b)/m = mx/m

(y -b)/m = x . . . . . . . . simplify

This is your solution for x:

x = (y - b)/m

We found it by subtracting b, then dividing by m on both sides of the equation.

Betty tabulated the miles-per-gallon values for her car as 26.5, 28, 30.2, 29.6, 32.3, and 24.7. The sample standard deviation i
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

3.188

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Sample data: 26.5, 28, 30.2, 29.6, 32.3, 24.7

Sample standard deviation (s) = 2.728

Mean (mu) = 25

Tstatistic formula :

(x - mu) / (s/sqrt(n))

n = sample size = 6 ; s = 2.728 ; mu = 25

Sample mean (x) = (26.5 + 28 + 30.2 + 29.6 + 32.3 + 24.7) / 6

Sample mean (x) = 171.3 / 6 = 28.55

Tstatistic = (28.55 - 25) / (2.728 / sqrt(6))

Tstatistic = 3.55 / 1.1137013

Tstatistic = 3.1875692

Please help me out! I tried to do it but I got it wrong.
Anika [276]

This may or may not be right.

You know that they are a graduate, and the total number of graduates are 2610.

The amount of graduates receiving financial aid is 1879.


The probability that a graduate student is on financial aid is: 1879/2610 = 0.7199 or 72%

An analyst has a limit order outstanding on a stock. He argues that the probability that the order will execute before the close
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

b. One in Five

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate probability, we need to know the formula: \frac{Number of Expected outcomes}{Total Number of possible outcomes}

in this case the probability is given in its decimal form, which is = 0.20

∴ to be able to use our formula easily, we will need to convert the probability to its fraction form.

which is 0.20 = \frac{20}{100} (<em> to do this, just simply put a 1 under the decimal point and replace the remaining values of 20 with zeroes)</em>

reducing \frac{20}{100} to its simplest form gives \frac{1}{5}.

Hence, relating it to our formula, we can see that the number of possible out comes is = 1

and the total number of outcomes = 5.

This means that the probability that the order will execute before the same of closing is the same as  1 in 5
