Answer:

  4x +y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are the negative reciprocals of one another. When the equation of the line is written in standard form like this, the equation of the perpendicular line can be written by swapping the x- and y-coefficients and negating one of them. Doing this much would give you ...

  4x +y = (constant)

Note that we have chosen to make the equation read 4x+y, not -4x-y. The reason is that "standard form" requires the leading coefficient to be positive.

Now, you just need to make sure the constant is appropriate for the point you want the line to go through. So, it needs to be ...

  4(2) +(-5) = constant = 3

The line of interest has equation ...

  4x + y = 3

In a statistics​ class, the standard deviation of the heights of all students was 3.8 inches. The standard deviation of the heig
goblinko [34]

Answer:

The reason why standard deviation of the entire class is greater than standard deviation of males and females considered separately, is that mean values for males and females are different from each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

The concept of mean is well represented by the following formula

mean = \frac{(x1 + x2 + x3 + ..... + xn)}{N}, where x1, x2, xn are the observations and N is the number of observations (population).

Standard deviation represents the distance between each observation and the mean of the population (all observations). The formula for this parameter is:

Standard deviation =√[((x1 - x)² + (x2-x)² + ....+ (xn-x)²)/N-1], where x1, x2,..., xn are the observations and x is the mean value.

In this case you have that each height registered is an observation and the number of observations represents the N value. As you can see if the mean for males is different from that of females their standard deviation will be different too. Usually males have heigths greater than that of females (1.77 vs 1.64, in USA for example), and heights inside each group will be more similar than between groups. Then, when you mix all observation there will be an increase in standard deviation, because you are mixing very different heigths
