Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = –5x + 3

slope of the given line by comparing with y=mx+b is

m= - 5

Concept is that the slope of parallel lines are equal so we need a line with slope same as m=-5

and passes through point (-6,3)

Equation using the point slope equation

y-3 = -5 (x-(-6))

y-3=-5(x+6)

y-3= -5x-30

y= -5x -27

You would need a new y-intercept in order for this to be parallel. So you use the points given and the slope and fill it in. 3=-5(-6)+b. 3=30+b. Then subtract 30 from both sides. -27=b. Then just put it all back into slope intercept form. y=-5x-27.

5. Suppose that the volumes of four stars in the Milky Way are 2.7 × 1018 km3, 6.9 × 1012 km3, 2.2 × 1012 km3, and 4.9 × 1021 km

shtirl [24]

To be able to arrange the volumes from least to greatest we must be mindful that the exponent of 10 in the scientific notation should be arranged from least to greatest also. If two or more items have the same exponents in the 10 of the scientific notation, we use the base for comparison. For this item, the arrangement should be
2.2x10^12 km³, 6.9x10^12 km³, 2.7x10^18 km³, and 4.9x10^21 km³
Thus, the answer to this item is letter B.

A high-tech company wants to estimate the mean number of years of college education its employees have completed. A sample of 15

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

$4 - 2.14 \frac{0.7}{\sqrt{15}}=3.61$

$4 + 2.14 \frac{0.7}{\sqrt{15}}=4.39$

The 95% confidence interval is given by (3.61;4.39)

Step-by-step explanation:

Notation and definitions

n=15 represent the sample size

$\bar X=4$ represent the sample mean

$s=0.7$ represent the sample standard deviation

m represent the margin of error

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Calculate the critical value tc

In order to find the critical value is important to mention that we don't know about the population standard deviation, so on this case we need to use the t distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ . The degrees of freedom are given by:
