Graph a line with a slope of -3 that contains the point (4, -2)

Crank

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Slope m=-3

A point (x, y)=(4,-2)

Equation of a line can generally be written as

y=mx+c

Where, m is the slope

And c is the intercept on y-axis

Since we are given m=-3

Then, y=mx+c becomes

y=-3x+c

To get c, let substitute the point given, i.e x=4 and y=-2

y=-3x+c

-2=-3(4)+c

-2=-12+c

-2+12=c

c=-2+12

c=10

y=mx+c, then m=-3 and c=10

Then, the equation the line becomes y = -3x + 10

This is the required line equation

A confidence interval was used to estimate the proportion of statistics students that are female. A random sample of 72 statisti

jeyben [28]

Answer:

We need a sample of size at least 13.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

90% confidence interval: (0.438, 0.642).

The proportion estimate is the halfway point of these two bounds. So

$\pi = \frac{0.438 + 0.642}{2} = 0.54$

95% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.05$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975$ , so $Z = 1.96$ .

Using the information above, what size sample would be necessary if we wanted to estimate the true proportion to within ±0.08 using 95% confidence?

We need a sample of size at least n.

n is found when M = 0.08. So

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.08 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.54*0.46}{n}}$

$0.08\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.54*0.46}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.54*0.46}}{0.08}$

$(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.54*0.46}}{0.08})^{2}$

$n = 12.21$

Rounding up

We need a sample of size at least 13.

Find the area of the composite figure.

Viefleur [7K]

The area of the composite figure from the image attached is 112.5 units²

<h3>What is the area of a composite figure?</h3>

The area of a composite figure refers to the sum total of all the areas of the shapes in that composite figure. This can be done by first identifying the shapes in that composite figure, then finding each area, followed by the addition of all the areas to determine the area of the composite figure.

From the given figure; we can break it down into:
