Using f(x) = y, we know that a graph of the function contains the (x,y) points (2,5) and (6,-1). first find the slope of that line,
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) ⇒ -6/4⇒-3/2
then using either point (I'll use the first one) solve for b in y = mx + b.
5 = (-3/2)(2) + b⇒ 5 = -3 + b⇒ 8 = b.
So y = (-3/2)x + 8 ⇒ f(x) = (-3/2)x + 8.
We have been provided a diagram which tells us that Patti drew vertical line segments from two points to the line in her scatter plot. The first point she selected was dwarf crocodile. The second point she selected was for an Indian Gharial crocodile.
We can see that dwarf crocodile's bite force is closer to line of best fit than Indian Gharial crocodile. Indian Gharial crocodile seems to be an outlier for our data set.
Therefore, Patti's line have resulted in a predicted bite force that was closer to actual bite force for the dwarf crocodile.
You are told that B=3g-7 and you are also told that B=17 so
3g-7=17 add 7 to both sides
3g=24 divide both sides by 3
g=8
So Gabriela is 8 years of age.
-1/2 / 3/4 =
The first step is to flip the second fraction and change division to multiplication. Then multiply straight across.
-1/2 x 4/3 = -4/6
In simplified form:
-4/6 = -2/3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that in order to efficiently bid on a contract, a contractor wants to be 95% confident that his error is less than two hours in estimating the average time it takes to install tile flooring.
Std deviation =4.5 errors
95% confidence interval = Mean±1.96*std dev
Hence we have
Sample size should be 20.
