How to compare rates and ratios

1 answer:

Ratios don't have to be "per" something, while rates are "per" something.

Ratios compare 2 or more values, as well as rates.

Hello

14-4x=2y divide 2 to both sides VVVVV7-2x=y you will need this on the next step-----------------------------------------------------y+2x=7y=7-2x(7-2x)+2x=7 -------> 7-2x+2x=7 7=7Have a nice day

A 90% confidence interval for the mean height of students

Westkost [7]

Answer:

$ME= \frac{69.397-60.128}{2}= 4.6345 \approx 4.635$

And the best answer on this case would be:

b) m = 4.635

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable of interest and we know that the confidence interval for the population mean $\mu$ is given by this formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2} \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

The confidence level on this case is 0.9 and the significance $\alpha=1-0.9=0.1$

The confidence interval calculated on this case is $60.128 \leq \mu \leq 69.397$

The margin of error for this confidence interval is given by:

$ME =t_{\alpha/2} \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

Since the confidence interval is symmetrical we can estimate the margin of error with the following formula:

$ME = \frac{Upper -Lower}{2}$

Where Upper and Lower represent the bounds for the confidence interval calculated and replacing we got:

$ME= \frac{69.397-60.128}{2}= 4.6345 \approx 4.635$

And the best answer on this case would be:

b) m = 4.635

When y=-2, what kind of line does it have horizontal or vertical

Rashid [163]

Answer: Horizontal

Step-by-step explanation: The equation <em>y = -2</em> can be thought of as y = 0x - 2. So our line has a slope of 0 and a y-intercept of -2.

To graph it, we start with the y-intercept, down 2 units on the y-axis. Now, if the slope of a line is 0, then the line must be flat or horizontal.

So we just draw a horizontal line through the y-intercept of -2.

In fact, when the equation of any line reads y = a number, it's graph will always be a horizontal line. For example, y = 3, y = -10, y = -8 and so on.
