In this question , we have to remeber the rule of combining two negative numbers . And the rule is, when combining two negative terms, we have to add them with negative sign .For e.g.-2-15=-(2+15)=17. SImilarly, -3 -14 =-(3+14)=-17. And none of them got -17. Dominique got 11 and Juan got 17. So none of them is correct .

Juan is correct because if you put -3-14 it’s equal to -17 so Juan is right.

Write an equation in slope intercept form for the following graph.

Umnica [9.8K]

Y = -1/2x + 3
Why?
Looking at the line start where the line intercepts the y line, it goes down one over 2 and that’s your slope, the 3 is bc that’s where the line crosses the y line

If the marginal propensity to consume is 0.8, (a) what is the value of the multiplier?

pentagon [3]

Given the marginal propensity to consume (MPC), the miltiplier is given by

Multiplier = 1 / (1 - MPC)

Given that the marginal propensity to consume is 0.8, the multiplier is given by

Multiplier = 1 / (1 - 0.8) = 1 / 0.2 = 5

A set of city temperatures in April are normally distributed with a mean of 19.7 degrees Celsius and a standard deviation of 2 d

Sati [7]

Answer:

19.77% of average city temperatures are higher than that of Cairo

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

$\mu = 19.7, \sigma = 2$
