The Bureau of Labor Statistics1 in the US tells us that, in 2010, the unemployment rate for high school graduates with no colleg

e degree is 9.7% while the unemployment rate for college graduates with a bachelor's degree is only 5.2%. Find the difference in proportions of those unemployed between these two groups and give the correct notation for the difference, with a minus sign. Since the data come from the census, you can assume that the values are from a population rather than a sample. Use the correct notation for population proportions and use subscripts on the proportions to identify the two groups. Assume high school graduates with no college degree are group 1 and college graduates with a bachelor's degree are group 2.

Answer:

p_1 -p_2 = 0.097-0.052 = 0.045

So then the difference between the two proportions is 0.045 and if we convert this into % we got

0.045*100= 4.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can define the following notation:

p_1 represent the unemployment rate for high school graduates with no college degree

p_2 represent the unemployment rate for college graduates with a bachelor's degree

And for this case we need to find the difference in proportions of those unemployed between these two groups, we want to find:

p_1 -p_2

From the info given we have p_1 = \frac{9.7}{100}=0.097

p_2 = \frac{5.2}{100}=0.052

And the difference:

p_1 -p_2 = 0.097-0.052 = 0.045

So then the difference between the two proportions is 0.045 and if we convert this into % we got

0.045*100= 4.5%

I domt understand slope at all
photoshop1234 [79]

slope = 2 and y-intercept = 0

the equation of a line in ' slope- intercept form ' is

y = mx + c  ( mis the slope and c the y-intercept )

given 2x - y = 0 ( add y to both sides )

2x = y or y = 2x + 0 ← in slope-intercept form

with slope m = 2 and y-intercept c = 0

What is the equation of the given line in standard form? Use integer coefficients (no decimals or fractions!). y = 3 over 5x - 3
Mazyrski [523]

Since this tells us that the y-intercept is .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis So we have one point Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means Also, because the slope is , this means: which shows us that the rise is 3 and the run is 5.

The graph of a rational function has local maxima at (-1,0) and (8,0). The complex number 2+3i is a zero of the function. What i
Aneli [31]
Any polynomial's graph cannot have two simultaneous maxima, so they must contain a minima between them. Thus, the total number of turning points of the graph is 3. Generally, when plotting a polynomial, the number of turning points is:
n = d -1; where d is the degree of the polynomial and n is the number of turning points. Thus, this function's degree must be at least 4. The answer is b.
