You need slope and y- intercept. It is a negative slope because the line is going down from left to right. Count rise over run.

M = - 4/6 = -2/3
If the line continued to the y axis it would cross at 10.
y = -2/3x + 10

A local clothing store sells jeans and shirts. The store makes a $10 profit on the sale of jeans and $3 profit on the sale of th

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

An inequality to model the situation is : ( 10 m + 3 n) ≥ 150

Here, m : The number of jeans sold

n : The number of shirts sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the profit on each sale of jeans = $ 10

The profit on each sale of shirt = $ 3

The profit needed to be made = AT LEAST $150

Now, here: Let us assume the number of jeans sold = m

And, The number of shorts sold =n

So, the profit on m jeans = m x ( Profit on 1 jeans) = m x ( $ 10) = 10 m

So, the profit on n shirts = n x ( Profit on 1 shirt) = n x ( $ 3) = 3 n

⇒ The total profit on m jeans + n shirts = ( 10 m + 3 n)

But, according to the question, the profit should AT LEAST $150.

⇒ TOTAL PROFIT ≥ $ 150

⇒ ( 10 m + 3 n) ≥ 150

Hence, an inequality to model the situation is : ( 10 m + 3 n) ≥ 150

Amy paid ?$69.77 for a pair of running shoes during a 25 ?%-off sale. What was the regular? price?

puteri [66]

Answer:

The regular price was $93.03

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the regular price, divide the amount spent by the percentage of which she paid for it. Since it was 25% off, she paid 75% of the overall price.

$69.77/75% = $93.03

In 2010, the Census Bureau estimated the proportion of all Americans who own their homes to be 0.669. An urban economist wants t

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

i)

Sample size making use of the Census Bureau: 1,499 American adults.

Sample size without making use of the Census Bureau: 1,692 American adults

ii)

71

Step-by-step explanation:

i)

The sample size n in Simple Random Sampling is given by

$\bf n=\frac{z^2p(1-p)}{e^2}$

where

z = 1.645 is the critical value for a 90% confidence level (*) 

p= 0.669 is the population proportion given by the Census

e = 0.02 is the margin of error

so

$\bf n=\frac{(1.645)^2*0.669*0.331}{0.02^2}=1,498.05\approx 1,499$

rounded up to the nearest integer.

(*)This is a point z such that the area under the Normal curve N(0,1) 1nside the interval [-z, z] equals 90% = 0.9

It can be obtained with tables or in Excel or OpenOffice Calc with

NORMSINV(0.95)

If she ignores the Census estimate, the she has to take the largest sample possible that meets the requirements.

Let's show it is obtained when p = 0.5

As we said, the sample size n is

$\bf n=\frac{z^2p(1-p)}{e^2}$

where

e = 0.02 is the error proportion

z = 1.645

hence

$\bf n=\frac{(1.645)^2p(1-p)}{(0.02)^2}=6765.0625p(1-p)=6765.0625p-6765.0625p^2$

taking the derivative with respect to p, we get

n'(p)=6765.0625-2*6765.0625p

and

n'(p) = 0 when p=0.5

By taking the second derivative we see n''(p)<0, so p=0.5 is a maximum of n

This means that if we set p=0.5, we get the maximum sample size for the confidence level required for the proportion error 0.02

Replacing p with 0.5 in the formula for the sample size we get

$\bf n=6765.0625*0.5-6765.0625(0.5)^2=1691.27\approx 1,692$

rounded to the nearest integer.

ii)

When we do not have a proportion but a variable whose approximate standard deviation s is known, then the sample size n in Simple Random Sampling is given by

$\bf n=\frac{z^2s^2}{e^2}$

where

z = 2.241 is the critical value for a 95% confidence level (*) 

s = 7.5 is the estimated population standard deviation

e = 2 hours is the margin of error

so

$\bf n=\frac{z^2s^2}{e^2}=\frac{(2.241)^2(7.5)^2}{(2)^2}=70.62\approx 71$

(*)This is a point z such that the area under the Normal curve N(0,1) inside the interval [-z, z] equals 95% = 0.95

It can be obtained in Excel or OpenOffice Calc with

NORMSINV(0.9875)
