Answer:

y = -4x+15

Step-by-step explanation:

y=x/4+5 may be presented as y = 1/4 x + 5, where a=1/4, b=5

swapping numerator and denominator and inserting an opposite sign in a=1/4, we have:

1/4 --------> 4/1 -------> -4/1 = -4

y = -4x+n

Point (2,7) means that x=2, y=7 substitute it to the equation y=-4x+n, calculate "n":

7=-4*2+n ------>    7=-8+n ------->   7+8 = n -------> 15=n

substituting n=15 to the equation y=-4x+n, we get finally y=-4x+15

puteri [66]

We can find the 15.2% of 185 pounds by dividing the weight by 15.2% in its decimal form:

185(15.2\%)=185(0.152)=27.7\text{pounds}

therefore, there are 27.7 pounds of fat

Construct a 95​% confidence interval to estimate the population mean using the data below. x overbarequals37 sigmaequals10 nequa
kap26 [50]

Answer:

With 95% confidence when n equals 44, the population mean is between a lower limit of 33.96 and an upper limit of 40.04

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Interval = mean + or - Error margin (E)

mean = 37

sd = 10

n = 44

degree of freedom = n - 1 = 44 - 1 = 43

t-value corresponding to 43 degrees of freedom and 95% confidence level is 2.0165

E = t × sd/√n = 2.0165×10/√44 = 3.04

Lower limit = mean - E = 37 - 3.04 = 33.96

Upper limit = mean + E = 37 + 3.04 = 40.04

95% confidence interval is between 33.96 and 40.04
