Answer:

slope = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, - 3)

m = $\frac{-3-5}{6+2}$ = $\frac{-8}{8}$ = - 1

About 10% of the population has a particular genetic mutation. 700 people are randomly selected. Find the standard deviation for

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer: 7.94

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate the standard deviation for binomial distribution :-

$\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}$ , where n is the number total of trials and p is the probability of getting success in each trial.

Given : The probability of the population has a particular genetic mutation=0.1

If 700 people are randomly selected, then the standard deviation for the number of people with the genetic mutation in such groups of 700 will be :-

$\sigma=\sqrt{700\times0.1(1-0.1)}\\\\\Rightarrow\sigma=\sqrt{63}\\\\\Rightarrow\sigma=7.9372539331\approx7.94$

Hence, the standard deviation for the number of people with the genetic mutation in such groups of 700 = 7.94
