A telephone poll asked people whether they like playing golf. 120 people said they like playing golf and 630 people said they do

Paladinen [302]

First we need to know how many people were asked - 120 + 630 = 750 people
Now we make fractions - 120/750 and 630/750
Divide the fractions - 120/750 = 0.16 and 630/750 = 0.84
Multiply the results by 100 so we can get the percentage - 0.16 x 100 = 16% and 0.84 x 100 = 84%

The percentage of people that like playing golf is 16%.

In March 2007, Business Week reported that at the top 50 business schools, students studied an average of 14.6 hours. You wonder

Rasek [7]

Answer:

The hypotheses used in this situation

$H_0:\mu = 14.6$

$H_a:\mu \neq 14.6$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Business Week reported that at the top 50 business schools, students studied an average of 14.6 hours.

Mean = $\mu = 14.6$

Claim : The amount UMSL students study is different from this 14.6 hour benchmark.

The hypotheses used in this situation

$H_0:\mu = 14.6$

$H_a:\mu \neq 14.6$

Identify an equation in point slope form for the line parallel to y=1/2x-7 that passes through (-3,-2)

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The point slope form of a straight line is expressed as

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Where

m represents slope of the line

y1 represents the initial value of y

x1 represents the initial value of x

If two lines are parallel, it means that they have the same slope. From the equation of the given line, slope = 1/2

Therefore,

m = 1/2

x1 = - 3

y1 = - 2

Substituting into the point slope equation, it becomes

y - - 2 = 1/2(x - - 3)

y + 2 = 1/2(x + 3)

The equation is

y + 2 = 1/2(x + 3)
