What is the slope of the line repersented by 5x-12y=24

1 answer:

3 0

To find the slope of a linear equation, we rearrange the equation into the format y = mx + b

5x - 12y = 24 // Equation given

5x - 12y + 12y = 24 + 12y // Add 12y on both sides

5x = 24 + 12y // Simplify

5x - 24 = 24 + 12y - 24 // Subtract 24 from both sides

5x - 24 = 12y // Simplify

12y = 5x - 24 // Switch sides to make y the subject

12y ÷ 12 = (5x - 24) ÷ 12 // Divide by 12 on both sides

y = 5/12 x - 2 // Simplify

Once we write the equation in this format, we match it against the general equation y = mx + b

we can conclude that m = 5/12

Therefore the slope is 5/12

There are 7 Democrats and 6 Republicans on a local city council. A planning committee of 6 for affordable housing needs to be

Brut [27]

Answer:

The probability is $0.383$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 7 democrats and 6 republicans

Number of ways in which 4 democrats and 2 republicans can be selected= ${}^{7}{{C}_{4}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{2}}$

Number of ways in which 5 democrats and 1 republican can be selected= ${}^{7}{{C}_{5}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{1}}$

Number of ways in which 6 democrats can be selected = ${}^{7}{{C}_{6}}$

So, favourable outcomes are ${}^{7}{{C}_{4}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{2}}+{}^{7}{{C}_{5}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{1}}+{}^{7}{{C}_{6}}$

Total possible outcomes = ${}^{13}{{C}_{6}}$

Now, probability= $\frac{Favourable}{Possible}=\frac{{}^{7}{{C}_{4}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{2}}+{}^{7}{{C}_{5}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{1}}+{}^{7}{{C}_{6}}}{{}^{13}{{C}_{6}}}=0.383$

What happens to the standard deviation of the average of a sample as the sample size increases? Group of answer choices It gets

NeX [460]

Answer:

Gets smaller

Step-by-step explanation:

- The standard deviation is the quantification of spread of data. According to descriptive statistics the standard deviation s is given by:

s = Σ ( x - u ) / sqrt ( n )

Where, n : sample size

u : Mean value

- So we see that standard deviation (s) is inversely proportional to square root of sample size (n).

- We can see that as sample size (n) increases the standard deviation (s) decreases.
