y = mx + b

To find the slope(m), you use the slope formula:

$m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

You plug in the points into the equation.

$m = \frac{-4 - (-4)}{0 - 2}$

$m = \frac{-4+4}{0-2} = \frac{0}{-2} =0$

The slope is 0

y = 0x + b

Any number multiplied by 0 is 0. So:

y = b

To find b, you plug in the y value of either of the points.

-4 = b

Your equation is:

y = -4 (This is a horizontal line)

According to a Pew Research Center study, in May 2011, 35% of all American adults had a smart phone (one which the user can use

taurus [48]

Answer:

$z=\frac{0.4 -0.35}{\sqrt{\frac{0.35(1-0.35)}{300}}}=1.82$

$p_v =P(z>1.82)=0.034$

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.1$ we have $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis

And the best conclusion would be:

There is enough evidence to show that more than 35% of community college students own a smart phone (Pvalue = 0.034).

And for the second case the correct system of hypothesis is:

H0: p = 0.078; Ha: p > 0.078

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=300 represent the random sample taken

$\hat p=\frac{120}{300}=0.4$ estimated proportion of college students that have a smart phone

$p_o=0.35$ is the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.1$ represent the significance level

Confidence=90% or 0.90

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value (variable of interest)

Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the proportion is >0.35.:

Null hypothesis: $p\leq 0.35$

Alternative hypothesis: $p > 0.35$

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion $\hat p$ is significantly different from a hypothesized value $p_o$ .

Calculate the statistic

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:

$z=\frac{0.4 -0.35}{\sqrt{\frac{0.35(1-0.35)}{300}}}=1.82$

Statistical decision

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.

The significance level provided $\alpha=0.1$ . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(z>1.82)=0.034$

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.1$ we have $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis

And the best conclusion would be:

There is enough evidence to show that more than 35% of community college students own a smart phone (Pvalue = 0.034).

And for the second case the correct system of hypothesis is:

H0: p = 0.078; Ha: p > 0.078

Suppose that Cecil, the tightrope walker, can only travel lengths of 5 feet, 6 feet, and 8 feet.

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

The two expressions are;

1) -8 ft. + 3 × 6 ft. = 12 feet

2) -6 ft. + 2 × 5 ft. + 8 ft. = 12 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The lengths in feet Cecil can travel = 5 feet, 6 feet, and 8 feet

The distances Cecil can travel forward = (positive 5, 6, 8)

Backwards Cecil can travel distances of (-5, -6, -8)

Cecil can go forward past the ladder and return back

Therefore, the number expressions by which Cecil can cross a tightrope 12 feet long are;

1) -8 ft. + 3 × 6 ft. = 12 feet

Which is to go back 8 feet and then to go forward 6 feet three times

2) -6 ft. + 2 × 5 ft. + 8 ft. = 12 feet

Which is to go back 6 feet then to go forward in 5 feet two times and then in forward again in 8 feet.

Musya8 [376]

Answer: REACTANGLE !!!!!!!!!!!

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of the cross-section is a rectangle. The plane is perpendicular to the base of the rectangular prism so the shape of the cross-section is the same as the top and bottom views of the rectangular prism.
