Answer:

B. y -2 = 1/2(x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same gradient

Therefore; the gradient or slope of a line parallel to line, y = 1/2x -7 will be 1/2

Since now we know that the line passes through a point (-3,-2) and has a slope of 1/2 we can get its equation.

We have points, (x,y) and (-3,-2) and a slope of 1/2

Thus;

(y -(-2))/ (x- (-3)) = 1/2

(y+2)/(x+3) = 1/2

2(y+2) = x + 3, dividing both sides by 2

we get;

y + 2 = 1/2(x+ 3)

This is equivalent to; B. y -2 = 1/2(x-3)

Lydia buys 5 pounds of apples and 3 pounds of bananas for a total of $8.50. Ari buys 3 pounds of apples and 2 pounds of bananas

Anarel [89]

5x + 3y= 8.50
3x + 2y= 5.25

Lydia is the first equation. She bought 5 pounds of apples which is x and bought 3 pounds of bananas which is y. Basically, remember each banana and apple weighs a price per pound. We don't know the price so we just put an x. This is the same for the second equation

A consumer group has determined that the distribution of life spans for gas ranges (stoves) has a mean of 15.0 years and a stand

Art [367]

Answer:

b. Mean = 1.6 years, standard deviation - 0.92 years, shape: approximately Normal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Subtraction of normal Variables:

When we subtract normal variables, the mean is the subtraction of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

A consumer group has determined that the distribution of life spans for gas ranges (stoves) has a mean of 15.0 years and a standard deviation of 4.2 years. Sample of 35:

This means that:

$\mu_G = 15$
