Answer:

A) Slope = -2 and y-int = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to get the slope and y-intercept from an equation is to put it in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

So, let's subtract 8x from both sides, leaving 4y on the left side:

8x + 4y = 4 -> 4y = -8x + 4

Now, let's divide both sides by 4, so that we can have just y on the left side:

y = -2x + 1

-2 is the slope, and 1 is the y-intercept.

A sequence is defined recursively by the formula f(n+1)=-2f(n). The first term of the sequence is -1.5. Whis is the next term in

podryga [215]

We are told that f(1) = -1.5, and that f(n+1) = -2f(n).
Then: f(2) = -2f(1) = -2(-1.5) = +3 (answer)

A market research team thinks that their new ad campaign is better than their old one. They used to be able to sell to 50% of th

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

a. The test statistic is 2 and we conclude that the new ad campaign is not signficantly better.

Step-by-step explanation:

They used to be able to sell to 50% of those who saw their ads. Test if the new campaign is better.

At the null hypothesis, we test is it is the same, that is, the proportion is the same.

$H_0: p = 0.5$

At the alternate hypothesis, we test if it is significantly better, that is, the proportion is above 50%.

$H_1: p > 0.5$

The test statistic is:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

In which X is the sample mean, $\mu$ is the value tested at the null hypothesis, $\sigma$ is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.5 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that $\mu = 0.5, \sigma = \sqrt{0.5*0.5} = 0.5$

They take a random sample of 100 potential buyers and find that they convinced 60 of these people to buy their product.

This means that $n = 100, X = \frac{60}{100} = 0.6$

Test statistic:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$z = \frac{0.6 - 0.5}{\frac{0.5}{\sqrt{100}}}$

$z = 2$

The test statistic is 2.

P-value of the test and decision:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample proportion above 0.6, which is 1 subtracted the by p-value of z = 2.

Looking at the z-table, z = 2 has a p-value of 0.9772.

1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228.

The p-value of the test is 0.0228 > 0.01, which means that we cannot conclude that the new ad campaign is signficantly better, so the correct answer is given by option A.
