ANSWER EXPLANATION:Think of the equation as an equation for a line

y=mx+b

where in this case

C=59(F−32)

C=59F−59(32)

You can see the slope of the graph is 59, which means that for an increase of 1 degree Fahrenheit, the increase is 59 of 1 degree Celsius.

C=59(F)

C=59(1)=59

Therefore, statement I is true. This is the equivalent to saying that an increase of 1 degree Celsius is equal to an increase of 95 degrees Fahrenheit.

C=59(F)

1=59(F)

(F)=95

Since 95 = 1.8, statement II is true.

The only answer that has both statement I and statement II as true is D, but if you have time and want to be absolutely thorough, you can also check to see if statement III (an increase of 59 degree Fahrenheit is equal to a temperature increase of 1 degree Celsius) is true:

C=59(F)

C=59(59)

C=2581(whichis≠1)

An increase of 59 degree Fahrenheit leads to an increase of 2581, not 1 degree, Celsius, and so Statement III is not true.

The final answer is D.

4. One in four people in the US owns individual stocks. You randomly select 12 people and ask them if they own individual stocks

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

a. The mean is 3, the variance is 2.25 and the standard deviation is 1.5.

b. 0.0401 = 4.01% probability that the number of people who own individual stocks is exactly six.

c. 0.1584 = 15.84% probability that the number of people who say they own individual stocks is at least two.

d. 0.3907 = 39.07% probability that the number of people who say they own individual stocks is at most two

e. Both cases include one common outcome, that is, 2 people owning stocks, so the events are not mutually exclusive.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they own stocks, or they do not. The probability of a person owning stocks is independent of any other person, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

One in four people in the US owns individual stocks.

This means that $p = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25$

You randomly select 12 people and ask them if they own individual stocks.

This means that $n = 12$

a. Find the mean, variance, and standard deviation of the resulting probability distribution.

The mean of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

$E(X) = 12(0.25) = 3$

The variance is:

$V(X) = np(1-p)$

$V(X) = 12(0.25)(0.75) = 2.25$

Standard deviation is the square root of the variance, so:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{2.25} = 1.5$

The mean is 3, the variance is 2.25 and the standard deviation is 1.5.

b. Find the probability that the number of people who own individual stocks is exactly six.

This is P(X = 6). So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 6) = C_{12,6}.(0.25)^{6}.(0.75)^{6} = 0.0401$

0.0401 = 4.01% probability that the number of people who own individual stocks is exactly six.

c. Find probability that the number of people who say they own individual stocks is at least two.

This is:

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)$

In which

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{12,0}.(0.25)^{0}.(0.75)^{12} = 0.0317$

$P(X = 1) = C_{12,1}.(0.25)^{1}.(0.75)^{11} = 0.1267$

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.0317 + 0.1267 = 0.1584$

0.1584 = 15.84% probability that the number of people who say they own individual stocks is at least two.

d. Find the probability that the number of people who say they own individual stocks is at most two.

This is:

$P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{12,0}.(0.25)^{0}.(0.75)^{12} = 0.0317$

$P(X = 1) = C_{12,1}.(0.25)^{1}.(0.75)^{11} = 0.1267$

$P(X = 2) = C_{12,2}.(0.25)^{2}.(0.75)^{10} = 0.2323$

$P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0317 + 0.1267 + 0.2323 = 0.3907$

0.3907 = 39.07% probability that the number of people who say they own individual stocks is at most two.

e. Are the events in part c. and in part d. mutually exclusive

Both cases include one common outcome, that is, 2 people owning stocks, so the events are not mutually exclusive.

Kelly purchased a toaster for $110. She made a down payment of 25% and financed the rest for 6 months with payments of $24.33. F

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Down payment =$ 27.5

Total 6 month installment payment

= $145.98

Total payment for toaster= $173.48

Step-by-step explanation:

Supposed price of the toaster= $110

Down payment of 25% was made

Down payment= 25/100 * 110

Down payment=0.25*110

Down payment =$ 27.5

For 6 month she made installmental payment of $24.33

Total installmental payment

= 24.33 * 6

= $145.98

Then total payment made for the toaster = 145.98 + 27.5

= $173.48

When finding the slope of the trend line, what does the slope mean about the data of the scatterplot? Explain.

faust18 [17]

Sample Response: The slope of the trend line is the rate of change of the data. It is the ratio of the change of the dependent variable to the rate of change of the independent variable. Slope represents the value of the correlation.
