Answer: m = -1

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem we're asked to find the slope of the line that contains the points (-2,5) and (6,-3).

Using our slope formula, we take the second y minus the first y which in this case is -3 - 5 over our second x minus our first x which in this case is 6 - -2.

-3 - 5 simplifies to -8 and remember that minus a negative can be thought of as plus a positive so 6 - (-2) can be thought of as 6 + (+2) which is 8.

Now we have -8/8. Notice that our slope can be simplified one step further so we have m = -1.

The variable that's used to represent slope is m.

There are 75 milligrams of cholesterol in a 3.5 ounce serving of lobster. How much cholesterol is in 6ounces of lobster

Maru [420]

Hence, the amount of cholesterol in 6 ounces of lobster will be 128.58 milligrams

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Cholesterol in 3.5 ounces = 75 mg

Cholesterol in 6 ounces =x= ?

This can be worked out by using proportions

It can be written as:

$\frac{75}{3.5}=\frac{x}{6}\\21.43=\frac{x}{6}\\Multiplying\ both\ sides\ by\ 6\\21.43*6=x\\x=128.58\ mg$

Hence, the amount of cholesterol in 6 ounces of lobster will be 128.58 milligrams

The U.S. Census Bureau conducts annual surveys to obtain information on the percentage of the voting-age population that is regi

yan [13]

Answer:

We conclude that the percentage of employed workers who have registered to vote exceeds the percentage of unemployed workers who have registered to vote.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 513 employed persons and 604 unemployed persons are independently and randomly selected, and that 287 of the employed persons and 280 of the unemployed persons have registered to vote.

Let $p_1$ = percentage of employed workers who have registered to vote.

$p_2$ = percentage of unemployed workers who have registered to vote.

So, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $p_1\leq p_2$ {means that the percentage of employed workers who have registered to vote does not exceeds the percentage of unemployed workers who have registered to vote}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : $p_1>p_2$ {means that the percentage of employed workers who have registered to vote exceeds the percentage of unemployed workers who have registered to vote}

The test statistics that would be used here Two-sample z test for proportions;

T.S. = $\frac{(\hat p_1-\hat p_2)-(p_1-p_2)}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+\frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p_1$ = sample proportion of employed workers who have registered to vote = $\frac{287}{513}$ = 0.56

$\hat p_2$ = sample proportion of unemployed workers who have registered to vote = $\frac{280}{604}$ = 0.46

$n_1$ = sample of employed persons = 513

$n_2$ = sample of unemployed persons = 604

So, the test statistics = $\frac{(0.56-0.46)-(0)}{\sqrt{\frac{0.56(1-0.56)}{513}+\frac{0.46(1-0.46)}{604} } }$

= 3.349

The value of z test statistics is 3.349.

Now, at 0.05 significance level the z table gives critical value of 1.645 for right-tailed test.

Since our test statistic is more than the critical value of z as 3.349 > 1.645, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which we reject our null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that the percentage of employed workers who have registered to vote exceeds the percentage of unemployed workers who have registered to vote.
