Answer: The slope of the graph is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope intercept for is given by :-

$y=mx+c$ , where m is the slope of the line.

The given equation of the line graphed by Helaine = $12x - 4y = 3$

Now, rewrite the above equation in slope-intercept form by adding 4y and subtracting 3 from both sides , we get

$4y=12x-3$

Divide 4 on both sides , we get

$y=3x-\dfrac{3}{4}$ which is the slope-intercept form.

$\Rightarrow\text{Slope}=3$

Hence, the slope of Helaine's line =3

Answer:

The slope of this line is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve 12x - 4y = 3 for y to obtain the equation in slope-intercept form:

Add 4y to both sides, obtaining 12x = 3 + 4y

Subtract 3 from both sides: 12x - 3 = 4y

Finally, divide all terms by 4: y = 3x - 3/4

The slope of this line is 3.

The ages of the Oscar-winners for best actor and actress for the years 1970 through 1990 are given below: Women: 34, 34,26,37,42

Artemon [7]

Answer:

See explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Numerical way

We can calculate the mean and the standard deviation from a sample with the following formulas:

$\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

$s= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}$

We have the following dataset for women: 34,34,26,37,42,41,35,31,41,33,30,74,33,49,38,61,21,41,26,80,72

And the mean and deviation are:

$\bar X_F = 41.857$

$s_F = 16.399$

We can calculate the median ordering the data like this:

21,26,26,30,31,33,33,34,34,35,37,38,41,41,41,42,49,61,72,74,80

And the median would be on the 11 position of the data ordered, for this case is:

$median_F = 37$

$Minimum_F = 21 , Maximum_F = 80$

And the range is given by: $Range_F = 80-21=59$

We can also calculate the coefficient of variation given by:

$\hat{CV} =\frac{s}{\bar X} = \frac{16.399}{41.857}=0.392$

We have the following dataset for men:

43, 40,48,48,56,38,60,32,40,42,37,76,39,55,45,35,61,33,51,32,42

And the mean and deviation are:

$\bar X_M = 45.381$

$s_M = 11.218$

We can calculate the median ordering the data like this:

32, 32,33,35,37,38,39,40,40,42,42,43,45,48,48,51,55,56,60,61,76

And the median would be on the 11 position of the data ordered, for this case is:

$median_M = 42$

$Minimum_M = 32 , Maximum_F = 76$

And the range is given by: $Range_M = 76-32=44$

We can also calculate the coefficient of variation given by:

$\hat{CV} =\frac{s}{\bar X} = \frac{11.218}{45.381}=0.247$

We se that the mean for the male groups is higher than the mean for female group. The deviation is higher for the female group comapred to the male group. We have more variation for the female group as we can see on the range and the coeffcient of variation.

Graph

We can see the histograms for each group on the figures attached.

As we can see the histogram for males is skewed to the right with the median lower than the mean.

By the other hand the histogram for the female group seems to be skewed to the right also but with missing values on the interval 50-60, for this reason we have more variation compared to the male group.

Answers:

1a) y=-10/3x+90

1b) 20

1c) -18

2a) 2.8

2b) How much the heights of five basketball players vary from the average height.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Explanations:

1a) The trend line is linear, so we just need to find the slope and y-intercept to find an equation for it. Our y-intercept is (0,90), or 90, and our slope is -10/3. Our equation is now y=-10/3x+90.

1b) To find when x=21, we plug 21 into our equation where the x is. Now we do the math.

y=-10/3(21)+90 (plug in)

y=-70+90 (simplify by multiplying -10/3 by 21)

y=20 (simplify by adding -70 to 90)

Therefore, we can predict that when x is 21, y is 20.

1c) To find when y=150, we plug 150 into our equation where the y is. Now we do some more math.

150=-10/3x+90 (plug in)

60=-10/3x (subtract 90 from both sides

-18=x (divide both sides by -10/3)

Therefore, we can predict that when y is 150, x is -18.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2a) The mean absolute deviation (or MAD for short) of a data set is calculated as such:

Step 1) Find the mean (average) by finding the sum of the data values, then dividing the sum of the data values by the number of data values. In this case, we have the numbers 65, 58, 64, 61, and 67, which add up to 315. The data set has 5 numbers, so we divide our sum of 315 by 5 to get 63. Therefore, our mean is 63.

Step 2) Find the absolute value of the distance between each data value and the mean. In this case, we find out how far away each data value is from 63, our mean. To do this, we subtract 63 from each number.

65-63=2

58-63=-5

64-63=1

61-63=-2

67-63=4

Some of these values are negative, but we're using absolute value so they all become positive. We now have a new set of values: 2, 5, 1, 2, and 4.

Step 3) Finally, we calculate the mean of our new set of values. In this case, we will add up 2, 5, 1, 2, and 4 to get 14 and divide by 5 to get our MAD of 2.8. Therefore, the MAD (and the answer to problem 2a) is 2.8.

2b) Now we just find out what the MAD means in this context. The MAD always is a measure of variance in a data set. In this context, it's describing how much the heights (in inches) of five people on a basketball team vary from the average height.

Hope this helps!

What is five fourths of a right angle

MrRa [10]

A right angles is 90 degrees
if you mean 5/4 of the MEASURE of a right angle then
90 times 5/4 (because in math 'of' means multiply)
90 tmes 5/4=450/4=225/2=112.5 degrees
