What is y - 8 = -1/2 (x + 4) in standard form (8th grade math)
Scilla [17]
This equation is in point-slope form. To change it to standard form, you must distribute -1/2 to (x+4) to get -1/2x-2. Your equation should now be y-8 = -1/2x-2. You should then add 1/2x to both sides (to cancel out -1/2x on the right side). Now, you should have y+1/2x-8 = -2. Finally, add 8 to both sides (to cancel out -8 on the left side) and flip the x and the y to get a final answer of 1/2x+y = 6.

What is a surface area of the cuboid with 4,5 and 9
Anettt [7]

Answer:

SA = 202

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area = Sum of all 6 areas of each side of the cuboid

SA = 2 (4·5 + 5·9 +9·4), because there are 2 of each kind of sides

SA = 2 (20+ 45 + 36)

SA = 2·101

SA = 202

Chapter 6, Section 1-D, Exercise 009 Is a Normal Distribution Appropriate? In each case below, is the sample size large enough s
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete Question:

Chapter 6, Section 1-D, Exercise 009 Is a Normal Distribution Appropriate? In each case below, is the sample size large enough so that the sample proportions follow a normal distribution?

a) n=600 p=0.2

b) n=20, p=0.4

if np=10 and npq=10 then  the data follows normal distribution

a) np= 120,

q= 1-0.2= 0.8

npq= 600 ×0.2×0.4 = 48

Normal distribution is appropriate and sample size is large enough

b) np= 8

q= 1-0.4= 0.6

npq= 20 × 0.4×0.6= 4.8

sample size is not large enough so normal distribution is not appropriate.
