The z scores corresponding to the mean weight of a rotten apple relative to the apples from either orchard are, respectively,
The mean for the standard normal distribution is 0, which means that z scores closer to 0 represent data points that are more likely to occur. Therefore it's reasonable to believe that rotten apples occur more often in shipments from Zippy's.
The easiest way to find a parallel equation is to write your equation in slope-intercept form. The general equation for slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m = the slope of the equation, b = the y intercept, and x and y are your variables.
You're given 5x + 10y = -4.
1) Move 5x to the right side by subtracting 5x from both sides:
5x + 10y = -4
10y = -5x - 4
2) Divide both sides by 10 to get y by itself on the left. Simplify:
<span>Remember that for
parallel lines, the slope, m, is the same for both equations. You can make the y-intercept, b, whatever number you want.
When the equation is in slope-intercept form, </span>
, you can see that
.
A parallel equation is in the form:
Plug in anything you want for b. One example is:

Answer:
(just one example)
Answer:
uh, I think it's 4.13
Step-by-step explanation:
5*sin(65)=4.13 now this seems a bit off but this was the only one that actually worked
<h3>Answer:</h3>
B) 10 pounds
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
Let x represent the amount of 70¢ candy to be added. The value of the mixture can be written as ...
... 90×30 + 70x = 85×(30+x) . . . . . where 30+x is the total weight of the mix
... 2700 +70x = 2550 +85x
... 150 = 15x . . . . . . add -70x-2550
... 10 = x . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
10 pounds of candy at 70¢/lb must be added.
Answer: C) 5
--------------
x = independent variable, y = dependent variable
Assuming this is a linear function, each increase of x by 2 leads to y going up by 10. So 10/2 = 5 is the unit increase each time x bumps up by 1.
-------------------
An alternative is to use the slope formula to get
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (25 - 15)/(4 - 2)
m = 10/2 <--- this expression shows up again
m = 5 <---- leading to the same answer as before
So we see that the slope formula is a more drawn out method to finding the answer.
