Describe and correct the error the student made when writing the equation of the line that passes through (-8,5)

pshichka [43]

Option D (The student should have used as the slope of the perpendicular line.) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to identify the error that the student made in finding equation of the line that passes through (-8,5) and is perpendicular to y = 4x + 2

The slope of the required line would me -1/m because both lines are perpendicular.

So, slope of new line will be: -1/4

because the equation of slope-intercept form is: $y=mx+b$ where m is the slope

Now, for finding equation the student used point slope form i.e $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

where y_1 and x_1 are the points and m is the slope.

Putting values:

x_1=-8, y_1=5 and m=-1/4

$y-5=-\frac{1}{4}(x-(-8))\\y-5=-\frac{1}{4}(x+8)\\y-5=-\frac{1x}{4}-2\\y=-\frac{1x}{4}-2+5\\y=-\frac{1x}{4}+3$

This is the correct solution.

The student made error by using the wrong slope he used 2 instead of -1/4

in the step $y-5 = 2(x-(-8))$

So, Option D (The student should have used as the slope of the perpendicular line.) is correct.

A scientist measured the amounts of fertilizer given to plants, the heights to which the plants grew, and the amount of fruit th

pentagon [3]

Answer:

d. Since fertilizer is in both data sets and is positively correlated to both tree height and fruit yield, it is like that tree height and fruit yield are also positively correlated.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation refers to the relationship between two or more variables i.e how they are interrelated to each other. It can be positive, negative, perfect, etc

As we can see in the figure that in both the data sets the fertilizer contains the same values which depict that they are positively correlated with respect to the height of tree and fruit yield that derives that the height of tree and fruit yield is also positively correleated

Here positive correlation means that the two variables moving in a similar direction i.e if one variable increased so the other is also increased

Therefore the option d is correct

A sample of salary offers (in thousands of dollars) given to management majors is: 48, 51, 46, 52, 47, 48, 47, 50, 51, and 59. U

balu736 [363]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

number of samples, n = 10

Mean = (48 + 51 + 46 + 52 + 47 + 48 + 47 + 50 + 51 + 59)/10 = 49.9

Standard deviation = √(summation(x - mean)/n

Summation(x - mean) = (48 - 49.9)^2 + (51 - 49.9)^2 + (46 - 49.9)^2+ (52 - 49.9)^2 + (47 - 49.9)^2 + (48 - 49.9)^2 + (47 - 49.9)^2 + (50 - 49.9)^2 + (51 - 49.9)^2 + (59- 49.9)^2 = 128.9

Standard deviation = √128.9/10 = 3.59

Confidence interval is written in the form,

(Sample mean - margin of error, sample mean + margin of error)

The sample mean, x is the point estimate for the population mean.

Margin of error = z × s/√n

Where

s = sample standard deviation

From the information given, the population standard deviation is unknown and the sample size is small, hence, we would use the t distribution to find the z score

In order to use the t distribution, we would determine the degree of freedom, df for the sample.

df = n - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9

Since confidence level = 95% = 0.95, α = 1 - CL = 1 – 0.95 = 0.05

α/2 = 0.05/2 = 0.025

the area to the right of z0.025 is 0.025 and the area to the left of z0.025 is 1 - 0.025 = 0.975

Looking at the t distribution table,

z = 2.262

Margin of error = 2.262 × 3.59/√10

= 2.57

the lower limit of this confidence interval is

49.9 - 2.57 = 47.33

the lower limit of this confidence interval is

49.9 + 2.57 = 52.47

So it is false

Answer:

$\frac{x+xy}{y}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{x}{y}$ + x

Multiply x by $\frac{y}{y}$ to create a common denominator

= $\frac{x}{y}$ + x × $\frac{y}{y}$

= $\frac{x}{y}$ + $\frac{xy}{y}$

= $\frac{x+xy}{y}$
