Answer:
not sure
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the same question as from DINW 220, but I will answer.
This form of the straight line is an equation through the two points and it reads => y-y1= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) (x-x1), point 1 (-16,8) and poin2 (4, -2) , x1= -16, y1= 8, x2= 4 and y2= -2 =>
y-8 = (-2-8)/(4-(-16)) (x-(-16)) => y-8= -10/(4+16) (x+16) =>
y-8= (-10/20) (x+16) If we simplify fraction (-10/20) we get (-1/2) =>
y-8=(-1/2) (x+16) we will multiply the both sides of the equation with number (2) we get 2y-16= ( -1) (x+16) => 2y-16= -x -16, we will add to the both sides number (+16) => 2y= -x than divide the both sides with number (2) we get y= (-1/2)x where -1/2 is coefficient of direction or (slope) and this linear function have not cut on the y axis, because it goes through a coordinate start ( 0,0) in the decartes coordinate system.
Sample = 75 printers, Printers used by small businesses = 15
p(15) = 15/75 = 0.2
At 90% limit, Z =1.64
Limit of proportion of printers used by small business = p +/- Z Sqrt [p(1-p)/n]
=0.2 +/- 1.64 * Sqrt [0.2(1-0.2)/75] = 0.2 +/- 0.0757
Limit of proportion => (0.2-0.0757) to (0.2+0.0757) => 0.1243 to 0.2757 or 12.43% to 27.57%
