Interpret the slope for the situation: The number of people who worked for the railroads in the United States each year from 198

9 to 1995 can be modeled by the equation y = -6.61x + 229, where x represents the number of years since 1989 and y represents the number of railroad employees (in thousands).

Answer:

-6.61

Step-by-step explanation:

Unless there is more included in this problem then -6.61 is the slope. Slope is represented as m in y=mx+b. Simply substituting in the slop and y-intercept shows that m=-6.61 or the slope is -6.61.

Akron Cinema sells an average of 500 tickets on Mondays, with a standard deviation of 50 tickets. If a simple random sample is t
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the number of tickets sales from Mondays is normally distributed. the formula for normal distribution would be applied. It is expressed as

z = (x - u)/s

Where

x = ticket sales from monday

u = mean amount of ticket

s = standard deviation

From the information given,

u = 500 tickets

s = 50 tickets

We want to find the probability that the mean will be greater than 510. It is expressed as

P(x greater than 510) = 1 - P(x lesser than or equal to 510)

For x = 510

z = (510 - 500)/50 = 0.2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.9773

P(x greater than 510) = 1 - 0.9773 = 0.0227
