Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope= x÷y

So. m= -2

For y intercept consider equation

y= 2x-8

y=mx+c where c is y intercept

Hence y intercept is 8 as slope is negative

Answer:

m = 2 and b = -8.

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the most commonly used equations of straight lines is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Comparing the given y = 2x - 8 to y = mx + b, we see that m = 2 and b = -8.

Solve for x.
Daniel [21]

Answer:

x=-\frac{9}{4} \\ or \:\\x = -2\frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

-2 (x + 1/4)+1=5\\\\-2\left(x+\frac{1}{4}\right)+1=5\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}1\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\-2\left(x+\frac{1}{4}\right)+1-1=5-1\\\\Simplify\\-2\left(x+\frac{1}{4}\right)=4\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-2\\\frac{-2\left(x+\frac{1}{4}\right)}{-2}=\frac{4}{-2}\\\\Simplify\\x+\frac{1}{4}=-2\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}\frac{1}{4}\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\x+\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{4}=-2-\frac{1}{4}\\\\Simplify\\x=-\frac{9}{4}\\\\x = -2\frac{1}{4}

The International Air Transport Association surveys business travelers to develop quality ratings for transatlantic gateway airp
motikmotik

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the population mean rating is (5.73, 6.95).

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by calculating the mean and standard deviation of the sample:

M=\dfrac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n\,x_i\\\\\\M=\dfrac{1}{50}(6+4+6+. . .+6)\\\\\\M=\dfrac{317}{50}\\\\\\M=6.34\\\\\\s=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{n-1}\sum_{i=1}^n\,(x_i-M)^2}\\\\\\s=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{49}((6-6.34)^2+(4-6.34)^2+(6-6.34)^2+. . . +(6-6.34)^2)}\\\\\\s=\sqrt{\dfrac{229.22}{49}}\\\\\\s=\sqrt{4.68}=2.16\\\\\\

We have to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the mean.

The population standard deviation is not known, so we have to estimate it from the sample standard deviation and use a t-students distribution to calculate the critical value.

The sample mean is M=6.34.

The sample size is N=50.

When σ is not known, s divided by the square root of N is used as an estimate of σM:

s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{N}}=\dfrac{2.16}{\sqrt{50}}=\dfrac{2.16}{7.071}=0.305

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

df=n-1=50-1=49

The t-value for a 95% confidence interval and 49 degrees of freedom is t=2.01.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

MOE=t\cdot s_M=2.01 \cdot 0.305=0.61

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

LL=M-t \cdot s_M = 6.34-0.61=5.73\\\\UL=M+t \cdot s_M = 6.34+0.61=6.95

The 95% confidence interval for the mean is (5.73, 6.95).

A bus travels on an east-west highway connecting two cities A and B that are 100 miles apart. There are 2 services stations alon
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

51/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To begin with you have to understand what is the distribution of the random variable. If X represents the point where the bus breaks down. That is correct.  

X~ Uniform(0,100)

Then the probability mass function is given as follows.

f(x) = P(X=x) = 1/100  \,\,\,\, \text{if} \,\,\,\, 0 \leq x \leq 100\\f(x) = P(X=x) = 0  \,\,\,\, \text{otherwise}

Now, imagine that the D represents the distance from the break down point to the nearest station. Think about this, the first service station is 20 meters away from city A, and the second station is located  70 meters away from city A then the mid point between 20 and 70  is (70+20)/2 = 45 then we can represent D as follows

D(x) =\left\{ \begin{array}{ll}  x  & \mbox{if } 0\leq x \leq 20 \\  x-20 & \mbox{if } 20\leq x < 45\\                70-x & \mbox{if } 45 \leq x \leq 70\\                x-70 & \mbox{if } 70 \leq x \leq 100\\ \end{array}\right.

Now, as we said before X represents the random variable where the bus breaks down, then we form a new random variable Y = D(X), Y is a random variable as well, remember that there is a theorem that says that

E[Y] = E[D(X)] = \int\limits_{-\infty}^{\infty} D(x) f(x) \,\, dx

Where f(x) is the probability mass function of X. Using the information of our problem

E[Y] = \int\limits_{-\infty}^{\infty}  D(x)f(x) dx \\= \frac{1}{100} \bigg[ \int\limits_{0}^{20} x dx +\int\limits_{20}^{45} (x-20) dx +\int\limits_{45}^{70} (70-x) dx +\int\limits_{70}^{100} (x-70) dx  \bigg]\\= \frac{51}{4} = 12.75

Combine the like terms to create an equivalent expression: r+(−5r)
nevsk [136]

Answer:

-4r

Step-by-step explanation:

Since r and -5r both have the same variable, we can combine them

r-5r = -4r

r+(−5r) = -4r
