Answer:

y = -2x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

slope = m

y = -2x + b

5 = -2x * -3 + b

5 = 6 + b

-1 = b

y = -2x - 1

Let me know if I'm wrong :)

According to data released by FiveThirty Eight (data drawn on Monday, August 17th, 2020), Donald Trump wins an Electoral College

sineoko [7]

Answer:

a) P = 0.274925

b) required confidence interval = (0.2705589, 0.2793344)

c) FALSE

d) FALSE

e) TRUE

f) There is still probability that he would win. And it would be highly unusual if he wins assuming that the true population proportion is 0.274925.

Step-by-step explanation:

PROBABILITY

since total number of simulations is 40,000 and and number of times Donald Trump wins an Electoral College majority in the 2020 US Presidential Election is 10,997

so the required Probability will be 10,997 divided by 40,000

P = 10997 / 40000 = 0.274925

To get 95% confidence interval for the parameter in question a

(using R)

>prop.test(10997,40000)

OUTPUT

1 - Sample proportion test with continuity correction

data: 10997 out of 40000, null probability 0.5

x-squared = 8104.5, df = 1, p-value < 2.23-16

alternative hypothesis : true p ≠ 0.5

0.2705589 0.2793344

sample estimate

0.274925

∴ required confidence interval = (0.2705589, 0.2793344)

FALSE

This is a wrong interpretation of a confidence interval. It indicates that there is 95% chance that the confidence interval you calculated contains the true proportion. This is because when you perform several times, 95% of those intervals would contain the true proportion but as the confidence intervals will vary so you can't say that the true proportion is in any interval with 95% probability.

FALSE

Once again, this is a wrong interpretation of a confidence interval. The confidence interval tells us about the population parameter and not the sample statistic.

TRUE

This is a correct interpretation of a confidence interval. It indicates that if we perform sampling with same sample size (40000) several times and calculate the 95% confidence interval of population proportion for each of them, then 95% of these confidence interval should contain the population parameter.

The simulation results obtained doesn't always comply with the true population. Also, result of one simulation can't be taken for granted. We need several simulations to come to a conclusion. So, we can never ever guarantee based on a simulation result to say that Donald Trump 'Won't' or 'Shouldn't' win.

There is still probability that he would win. And it would be highly unusual if he wins assuming that the true population proportion is 0.274925.

In the triangle pictured, let A, B, C be the angles at the three vertices, and let a,b,c be the sides opposite those angles. Acc

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Consider the following:

$A=\frac{\pi}{4}=45°\\\\B=\frac{\pi}{3}=60°$

Use sine rule,

$\frac{b}{a}=\frac{\sinB}{\sin A}
\\\\=\frac{\sin{\frac{\pi}{3}}
}{\sin{\frac{\pi}{4}}}\\\\=\frac{[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}]}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}\\\\=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{1}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$

Again consider,

$\frac{b}{a}=\frac{\sin{B}}{\sin{A}}
\\\\\sin{B}=\frac{b}{a}\times \sin{A}\\\\\sin{B}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\sin {A}\\\\B=\sin^{-1}[\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\sin{A}]$

Thus, the angle B is function of A is, $B=\sin^{-1}[\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\sin{A}]$

Now find $\frac{dB}{dA}$

Differentiate implicitly the function $\sin{B}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\sin{A}$ with respect to A to get,

$\cos {B}.\frac{dB}{dA}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\cos A\\\\\frac{dB}{dA}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}.\frac{\cos A}{\cos B}$

When $A=\frac{\pi}{4},B=\frac{\pi}{3}$ , the value of $\frac{dB}{dA}$ is,

$\frac{dB}{dA}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}.\frac{\cos {\frac{\pi}{4}}}{\cos {\frac{\pi}{3}}}\\\\=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}.\frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}{\frac{1}{2}}\\\\=\sqrt{3}$

In general, the linear approximation at x= a is,

$f(x)=f'(x).(x-a)+f(a)$

Here the function $f(A)=B=\sin^{-1}[\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\sin{A}]$

At $A=\frac{\pi}{4}$

$f(\frac{\pi}{4})=B=\sin^{-1}[\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\sin{\frac{\pi}{4}}]\\\\=\sin^{-1}[\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}.\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}]\\\\\=\sin^{-1}(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})\\\\=\frac{\pi}{3}$

And,

$f'(A)=\frac{dB}{dA}=\sqrt{3}$ from part b

Therefore, the linear approximation at $A=\frac{\pi}{4}$ is,

$f(x)=f'(A).(x-A)+f(A)\\\\=f'(\frac{\pi}{4}).(x-\frac{\pi}{4})+f(\frac{\pi}{4})\\\\=\sqrt{3}.[x-\frac{\pi}{4}]+\frac{\pi}{3}$

Use part (c), when $A=46°$ , B is approximately,

$B=f(46°)=\sqrt{3}[46°-\frac{\pi}{4}]+\frac{\pi}{3}\\\\=\sqrt{3}(1°)+\frac{\pi}{3}\\\\=61.732°$

A ticket to a museum costs $8. A ticket to the dinosaur exhibit costs $5. The expression 8n+5n represents the cost in dollars fo

julia-pushkina [17]

The equation which represents the people that want to visit the museum and the exhibit is 8n+5n.
As you can see, the variable n is present in both terms 8n and 5n of the equation, so we can now factor the equation. You create parenthesis in which you put inside 8+5 and then you throw the variable n outside the parenthesis, and you get at last:
8n + 5n = (8+5)n

Hope this helps! :D

Which of the following is a proportion? 9/12= 8/10 3/4= 9/12 6/8= 8/12 12/18= 9/16

solong [7]

Answer:

The proportion is 3/4=9/12

Step-by-step explanation: For proportions you need to write it in a ratio, after doing that, you look at the outside numbers on the ratio on this case it is 3 and 12, multiply that and you get 36, after that do the same with the inside numbers to get another 36.

A boat is located a sea level. A scuba diver is 80 feet along the surface of the water from the boat and 30 feet below thw water

Sauron [17]

Given :

A boat is located a sea level. A scuba diver is 80 feet along the surface of the water from the boat and 30 feet below the water surface.

A fish is 20 feet along the horizontal plane from the scuba diver and 10 feet below the scuba diver.

To Find :

The slope between the scuba diver and fish.

Solution :

Horizontal distance between diver and fish is 20 feet.

Fish is 10 feet below the scuba diver.

Slope between scuba diver and fish is :

$tan\ \theta = \dfrac{10}{20}\\\\tan\ \theta = 0.5$

Therefore, the slope between the scuba diver and fish is 0.5 .
