Answer:

4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope(m) = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Pick two points on your graph that are closest to clear values. (By that I mean you shouldn't pick points that aren't obvious unless you have to.)

For instance, I see the points (-2,0) and (3,4) to be clear; so we don't have to approximate anything.

You could plug these in in a any order but I'm going to let Point 1=(-2,0) and Point 2=(3,4). So:

m=(4-0)/(3--2)=(4/5)

Slope=4/5

write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y=-5/3x-2 and goes throught the point (-3,1)

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

y = (-5/3)x - 4

Explanation:

The equation of a line with slope m that goes through the point (x1, y1) is:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)_{}$

Additionally, two lines are parallel if they have the same slope.

The slope of the line y = (-5/3)x - 2 is (-5/3) because it is the number beside x.

So, the slope of our line is also -5/3.

Therefore, replacing m by -5/3 and (x1, y1) by (-3, 1), we get that the equation of the line is:

$\begin{gathered} y-1=-\frac{5}{3}(x-(-3)) \\ y-1=-\frac{5}{3}(x+3) \end{gathered}$

Finally, solving for y, we get:

$\begin{gathered} y-1=-\frac{5}{3}x-(\frac{5}{3}\cdot3) \\ y-1=-\frac{5}{3}x-5 \\ y=-\frac{5}{3}x-5+1 \\ y=-\frac{5}{3}x-4 \end{gathered}$

So, the answer is:

y = (-5/3)x - 4

5.2.14. For the negative binomial pdf p (k; p, r) = k+r−1 (1 − p)kpr, find the maximum likelihood k estimator for p if r is know

Volgvan

Answer:

$\hat p = \frac{r}{\bar x +r}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A negative binomial random variable "is the number X of repeated trials to produce r successes in a negative binomial experiment. The probability distribution of a negative binomial random variable is called a negative binomial distribution, this distribution is known as the Pascal distribution".

And the probability mass function is given by:

$P(X=x) = (x+r-1 C k)p^r (1-p)^{x}$

Where r represent the number successes after the k failures and p is the probability of a success on any given trial.

Solution to the problem

For this case the likehoof function is given by:

$L(\theta , x_i) = \prod_{i=1}^n f(\theta ,x_i)$

If we replace the mass function we got:

$L(p, x_i) = \prod_{i=1}^n (x_i +r-1 C k) p^r (1-p)^{x_i}$

When we take the derivate of the likehood function we got:

$l(p,x_i) = \sum_{i=1}^n [log (x_i +r-1 C k) + r log(p) + x_i log(1-p)]$

And in order to estimate the likehood estimator for p we need to take the derivate from the last expression and we got:

$\frac{dl(p,x_i)}{dp} = \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{r}{p} -\frac{x_i}{1-p}$

And we can separete the sum and we got:

$\frac{dl(p,x_i)}{dp} = \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{r}{p} -\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{1-p}$

Now we need to find the critical point setting equal to zero this derivate and we got:

$\frac{dl(p,x_i)}{dp} = \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{r}{p} -\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{1-p}=0$

$\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{r}{p} =\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{1-p}$

For the left and right part of the expression we just have this using the properties for a sum and taking in count that p is a fixed value:

$\frac{nr}{p}= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n x_i}{1-p}$

Now we need to solve the value of $\hat p$ from the last equation like this:

$nr(1-p) = p \sum_{i=1}^n x_i$

$nr -nrp =p \sum_{i=1}^n x_i$

$p \sum_{i=1}^n x_i +nrp = nr$

$p[\sum_{i=1}^n x_i +nr]= nr$

And if we solve for $\hat p$ we got:

$\hat p = \frac{nr}{\sum_{i=1}^n x_i +nr}$

And if we divide numerator and denominator by n we got:

$\hat p = \frac{r}{\bar x +r}$

Since $\bar x = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n x_i}{n}$

In the diagram, line x|| line y. Find the angle measures below.

Yanka [14]

Answer:

<1 = 95

<2 =85

Step-by-step explanation:

<1 = 95

They are alternate exterior angles and alternate exterior angles are equal when the lines are parallel

<1 + <2 = 180 since they form a straight line

95+ <2 =190

Subtract 95 from each side

95-95+<2 =180-95

<2 =85
