Yes.  This equation given:
______________________________
   " y = (½)x + 4 " ;  in point-slope form; also known as: "slope-intercept form" ; is:
______________________________________
    " y = (½)x + 4 " .
______________________________________
In other words, the equation given is ALREADY written in "point-slope form" ; or, "slope-intercept form".
______________________________________
Note:   An equation that is written in "point-slope form"
             (or, "slope-intercept form"), is written in the format of:
______________________________________
" y = mx + b " ;_________________
in which:_________________
"y" is a single, "stand-alone" variable on the "left-hand side of the equation"; "m" is the coefficient of "x"; also:
"m" is the slope of the line; which is what we want to solve for;
"b" is the "y-intercept"; or more precisely, the value of "x"
(that is; the "x-coordinate") of the point at which "y = 0";
that is, the value of "x" ; or the "x-coordinate" of the point at which
the graph of the equation crosses the "x-axis".
______________________________________
Note that in our given equation, which is written in "point-slope form" (or, "slope-intercept form" — that is:  " y = mx + b "  ;
_______________________________________
which is:  " y = (½)x + 4 " ;
_______________________________________
we have:
_______________________________________
  "y" isolated as "stand-alone" variable on the "left-hand side" of the equation;

  m = ½ ;
  b =  4 .
_______________________________________

Construct a​ 99% confidence interval for the population​ mean, mu. Assume the population has a normal distribution. A group of 1
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

99% confidence interval for the population​ mean is [19.891 , 24.909].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a group of 19 randomly selected students has a mean age of 22.4 years with a standard deviation of 3.8 years.

Assuming the population has a normal distribution.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 99% confidence interval for the population​ mean is given by;

         P.Q. = \frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample mean age of selected students = 22.4 years

             s = sample standard deviation = 3.8 years

             n = sample of students = 19

             \mu = population mean

<em>Here for constructing 99% confidence interval we have used t statistics because we don't know about population standard deviation.</em>

So, 99% confidence interval for the population​ mean, \mu is ;

P(-2.878 < t_1_8 < 2.878) = 0.99  {As the critical value of t at 18 degree of

                                                freedom are -2.878 & 2.878 with P = 0.5%}

P(-2.878 < \frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < 2.878) = 0.99

P( -2.878 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < {\bar X - \mu} < 2.878 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.99

P( \bar X -2.878 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } < \mu < \bar X +2.878 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } ) = 0.99

<u>99% confidence interval for</u> \mu = [ \bar X -2.878 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } , \bar X +2.878 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } ]

                                                 = [ 22.4 -2.878 \times {\frac{3.8}{\sqrt{19} } , 22.4 +2.878 \times {\frac{3.8}{\sqrt{19} } ]

                                                 = [19.891 , 24.909]

Therefore, 99% confidence interval for the population​ mean is [19.891 , 24.909].

Solve y + 4 &gt; - 2.2. Check your solution.
maks197457 [2]
Pretty sure its y > -6.2
This is because you subtract 4 from both sides and get y > -6.2
Please correct me if im wrong thx!

The area of a 12-cm-wide rectangle is 288 cm^2 what is its length?
densk [106]

Answer:

24cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rectangle is length × breadth. You already know the area and the breadth, so you can find the length.

288cm² = length × 12cm

length = 288cm² ÷ 12cm

           = 24cm

If f(x) = x-1/3 and g(x)= 3x+1, what is (f o g)(x)?
N76 [4]

Answer:

(f o g)(x) = 3x + \frac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function f(x) = x-\frac{1}{3} and we have the function g(x) = 3x + 1. We want to find g(x) composed with f(x)

Then, the function (f o g)(x) is the same since f(g(x))

That is, you must do x = g(x) and then enter g(x) into the function f(x).

f(g(x)) = (g(x)) -\frac{1}{3}

f(g(x)) = (3x + 1) -\frac{1}{3}

Simplifying, we obtain:

(f o g)(x) = 3x + 1 -\frac{1}{3}\\\\(f o g)(x) = 3x + \frac{2}{3}

Finally. The composite function is:

(f o g)(x) = 3x + \frac{2}{3}
