$\bf slope = m = \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{ f(x_2) - f(x_1)}{ x_2 - x_1}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
average~rate\\

\begin{array}{ccll}
x&f(x)\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
-2&0\\2&15\\7&30

\qquad 
\begin{cases}
x_1=2\\
x_2=7
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{f(7)-f(2)}{7-2}\implies \cfrac{30-15}{5}

\cfrac{15}{5}\implies 3$

Soft drink consumption in New Zealand. A survey commissioned by the Southern Cross Healthcare Group reported that 16% of New Zea

lidiya [134]

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

Given : The proportion of New Zealanders consume five or more servings of soft drinks per week : $\hat{p}= 0.16$

a) The number of survey respondents reported that they consume five or more servings of soft drinks per week = 2006

b) Confidence interval for population proportion (p) :

$\hat{p}\pm z^*\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}$

, where $\hat{p}$ = Sample proportion.

n= Sample size.

z* = Critical value.

For n= 2006 , $\hat{p}= 0.16$ and critical value for 95% confidence interval : z* = 1.96

Then , the required confidence interval will be :

$0.16\pm (1.96)\sqrt{\dfrac{ 0.16(1- 0.16)}{2006}}$

$0.16\pm (1.96)\sqrt{ 0.000066999002991}$

$0.16\pm (1.96)(0.00818529186963)$

$0.16\pm 0.0160431720645$

$(0.16-0.0160431720645,\ 0.16+0.0160431720645)$

$(0.143956827935,\ 0.176043172064)\approx(0.144,\ 0.176)$

i.e. A 95% confidence interval for the proportion of New Zealanders who report that they consume five or more servings of soft drinks per week. = $(0.144,\ 0.176)$

c) $(0.144,\ 0.176)=(0.144\times100\%,\ 0.176\times100\%)$

$=(14.4\%,\ 17.6\%)$ 176\times100\%)[/tex]

d) The estimate might be biased because the survey is taken online that means offline New Zealanders are out of consideration.

Write the eqauation of a line that has the slope pf 6 passes through (-3,5)

Darina [25.2K]

Y = mx + b
slope(m) = 6
(-3,5)...x = -3 and y = 5
now we sub and find b, the y int
5 = 6(-3) + b
5 = -18 + b
5 + 18 = b
23 = b

so ur equation is : y = 6x + 23
