Which linear equation has a greater slope? y = 2x + 1 Or y = -1x + 4

1 answer:

5 0

Linear functions have the general form y=mx+b, where m is the slope. The first function has a slope of 2, while the second one has a slope of -1, so y=2x+1 has a greater slope.

g A psychic was tested for extrasensory perception (ESP). The psychic was presented with cards face down and asked to determine

diamong [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The objective is to test ESP, for this, a psychic was presented with cards face down and asked to determine if each of the cards was one of four symbols: a star, cross, circle, square.

Be X: number of times the psychic identifies the symbols on the cards correctly is a size n sample.

p the probability that the psychic identified the symbol on the cards correctly

You have to calculate the sample size n to estimate the proportion with a confidence level of 95% and a margin of error of d=0.01

The CI for the population proportion is constructed "sample proportion" ± "margin of error" Symbolically:

p' ± $Z_{1-\alpha /2} * (\sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} } )$

Where $d= Z_{1-\alpha /2} * (\sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} } )$ is the margin of error. As you can see, the formula contains the sample proportion (it is normally symbolized p-hat, in this explanation I'll continue to symbolize it p'), you have to do the following consideration:

Every time the psychic has to identify a card he can make two choices:

"Success" he identifies the card correctly

"Failure" he does not identify the card correctly

If we assume that each symbol has the same probability of being chosen at random P(star)=P(cross)=P(circle)=P(square)= 1/4= 0.25

Let's say, for example, that the card has the star symbol.

The probability of identifying it correctly will be P(success)= P(star)= 1/4= 0.25

And the probability of not identifying it correctly will be P(failure)= P(cross) + P(circle) + P(square)= 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4= 3/4= 0.75

So for this experiment, we'll assume the "worst case scenario" and use p'= 1/4 as the estimated probability of the psychic identifying the symbol on the card correctly.

The value of Z will be $Z_{1-\alpha /2}= Z_{0.975}= 1.96$

Now using the formula you have to clear the sample size:

$d= Z_{1-\alpha /2} * (\sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} } )$

$\frac{d}{Z_{1-\alpha /2}} = \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }$

$(\frac{d}{Z_{1-\alpha /2}})^2 =\frac{p'(1-p')}{n}$

$n*(\frac{d}{Z_{1-\alpha /2}})^2 = p'(1-p')$

$n = p'(1-p')*(\frac{Z_{1-\alpha /2}}{d})^2$

$n = (0.25*0.75)*(\frac{1.96}{0.01})^2= 7203$

To estimate p with a margin of error of 0.01 and a 95% confidence level you have to take a sample of 7203 cards.

I hope this helps!

What is 9% of 42 pls help fast!

joja [24]

Answer:

3.78

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 9 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=9$.

Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=42$.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

$100\%=9(1)$.

$x\%=42(2)$.

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS

(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

$\frac{100\%}{x\%}=\frac{9}{42}$

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

$\frac{x\%}{100\%}=\frac{42}{9}$

$\Rightarrow x=466.67\%$

Therefore, $42$ is $466.67\%$ of $9$.

3/4=j-1/2 solve the equation check your solution

DIA [1.3K]

3/4= j-1/2
first to add 1/2 to both sides to solve for j
3/4 + 1/2= j
second you find a common denominator in order to add 3/4 and 1/2, the common denominator would be 4, you would have to change 3/4 at all because the denominator is already 4 but in order to make the denominator of 1/2, 4 you would have to multiply both the denominator and numerator by 2 so
3/4 + 2/4 = 5/4
so 5/4 =j

to check your answer you plug 5/4 in for j
3/4 = 5/4 -1/2
again you need to find a common denominator between 5/4 and 1/2 which again would be 4, and again you wouldn't change 5/4 but you would multiply both the numerator and the denominator of 1/2 so
3/4= 5/4-2/4
5-2= 3 and you would keep the 4 so
5/4 - 2/4 = 3/4

so j = 5/4
