Answer: -5

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the slope of a line is given as :

m=\frac{y_{2} }{x_{2}} - \frac{y_{1}}{x_{1}}

$x_{1}$ = 8

$x_{2}$ = 6

$y_{1}$ = 5

$y_{2}$ = 15

substituting into the formula , we have

m = $\frac{15-5}{6-8}$

m = $\frac{10}{-2}$

m = -5

Therefore the slope is -5

A sociologist develops a test to measure attitudes towards public transportation, and 27 randomly selected subjects are given th

taurus [48]

Answer:

The margin of error for the 95% confidence interval for the mean score of all such subjects is of 8.45.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 27 - 1 = 26

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 26 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of $1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975$ . So we have T = 2.0518

The margin of error is:

$M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

In this question:

$n = 27, s = 21.4$ . So

$M = 2.0518\frac{21.4}{\sqrt{27}}$

$M = 8.45$

The margin of error for the 95% confidence interval for the mean score of all such subjects is of 8.45.

Zanzabum

Answer:

B..im pretty sure

Step-by-step explanation:

First it cant be D because 12 x __ = 64. There is no whole number multiplied by 12 that equals 64. So cross that out. then it's not B because 6 x ___ = 64. So also cross that out. the only thing u have left is 4 and 8. Then u can cross out A because the group of students has to be the same number of rows. Which is 8 x 8 aka B. The answer is B
