1 answer:

6 0

Hello!

You divide how much tax was by the total cost of the shoes

5.60 / 70 = 0.08

Convert the decimal into a percent

The answer is 8%

Hope this helps!

Write an equation that represents the line.<br> Use exact numbers.<br> (-2,-1)<br> (4,6)

vazorg [7]

Check the picture below.

to get the equation of any straight line, we simply need two points off of it, so let's use those in the picture

$(\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{6})~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{6}-\stackrel{y1}{1}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{4}-\underset{x_1}{(-2)}}} \implies \cfrac{6 -1}{4 +2} \implies \cfrac{ 5 }{ 6 }$

$\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{1}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{5}{6}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-2)})\implies y-1=\cfrac{5}{6}(x+2) \\\\\\ y-1=\cfrac{5}{6}x+\cfrac{5}{3}\implies y=\cfrac{5}{6}x+\cfrac{5}{3}+1\implies y=\cfrac{5}{6}x+\cfrac{8}{3}$

Assume that a cross is made between a heterozygous tall pea plant and a homozygous short pea plant. Fifty offspring are produced

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

1) $\chi^2 = \frac{(30-25)^2}{25} +\frac{(20-25)^2}{25} =1 +1 =2$

2) $df = c-1 = 2-1$

Where c represent the number of categories c=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A chi-square goodness of fit test "determines if a sample data matches a population".

A chi-square test for independence "compares two variables in a contingency table to see if they are related. In a more general sense, it tests to see whether distributions of categorical variables differ from each another".

Assume the following dataset:

Tall =30 , Short =20

We need to conduct a chi square test in order to check the following hypothesis:

H0: The deviations from a 1:1 ratio (25 tall and 25 short) are due to chance.

H1: The deviations from a 1:1 ratio (25 tall and 25 short) are NOT due to chance.

Part 1

So then we know that the expected values would be 25 for each case

The statistic to check the hypothesis is given by:

$\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{(O_i -E_i)^2}{E_i}$

And if we replace we got:

$\chi^2 = \frac{(30-25)^2}{25} +\frac{(20-25)^2}{25} =1 +1 =2$

Part 2

For this case the degreed of freedom are given by:

$df = c-1 = 2-1$

Where c represent the number of categories c=2

And we can calculate the p value given by:

$p_v = P(\chi^2_{1} >2)=0.157$

And we can find the p value using the following excel code:

"=1-CHISQ.DIST(2,1,TRUE)"
