What is the slope of the line passing through the points (2,-5) and(4,1)

1 answer:

6 0

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-5})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{1-(-5)}{4-2}\implies \cfrac{1+5}{2}\implies \cfrac{6}{2}\implies 3$

1. The data given below includes data from 42 candies, and 7 of them are red. The company that makes the candy claims that 33%

jeyben [28]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for true proportion of red candies is (5%, 27%).

The true proportion of red candies made by the company is different from 33%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypothesis to determine whether the claim made by the candy company is correct or not is:

H₀: The true proportion of red candies made by the company is 33%, i.e. p = 0.33.

Hₐ: The true proportion of red candies made by the company is different from 33%, i.e. p ≠ 0.33.

A (1 - α)% confidence interval can be constructed to check this claim.

The decision rule is:

If the confidence interval consists the null value then the null hypothesis will not be rejected. Otherwise it will be rejected.

The (1 - α)% confidence interval for population proportion is:

$CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

The information provided is:

n = 42

X = number of red candies = 7

Compute the sample proportion of candies that are red as follows:

$\hat p=\frac{X}{n}=\frac{7}{42}=0.167$

The critical value of z for 95% confidence level is:

$z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96$

*Use a z-table for the critical value.

Compute the 95% confidence interval for true proportion of red candies as follows:

$CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}\\=0.167\pm 1.96\times \sqrt{\frac{0.167(1-0.167)}{42}}\\=0.16\pm0.1137\\=(0.0463, 0.2737)\\\approx(0.05, 0.27)$

The 95% confidence interval for true proportion of red candies is (5%, 27%).

The confidence interval does not contains the null value.

Thus, the null hypothesis will be rejected at 5% level of significance.

Conclusion:

The true proportion of red candies made by the company is different from 33%.

Please help me answer this for a test im having trouble

Dimas [21]

Answer:

x + 1

y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this question we need to represent "y "in terms of "x" in the first equation, and the plug in the "y" value in the first equation into the second one. Luckily for us in the first equation it already shows what "y" is equal to in terms of "x" (based on the first equation y = -x + 10). Now we just need to plug in the value that we got instead of "y" in the second equation, and so we get....

y = 7x + 2

(plug in the y value and get the following ….)

-x + 10 = 7x + 2

(now just solve the following equation)

-x + 10 + x = 7x + 2 + x

10 = 8x + 2

10 - 2 = 8x + 2 - 2

8 = 8x

8/8 = 8x/8

1 = x

Now that we know the value of "x", all we need to do now is substitute the value of "x" into any of the equations and we will get the value of "y". So we do the following.....

y = 7x + 2

y = 7(1) + 2

y = 7 + 2

y = 9
