For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:
Where:
m: It's the slope
b: It is the cut point with the y axis.
By definition, if two straight lines are parallel then their slopes are equal. Thus, the slope of the line sought will be
We substitute the given point to find b:
Finally the line is:
Answer:
Answer:
The standard deviation of weight for this species of cockroaches is 4.62.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A different species of cockroach has weights that are approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 50 grams. After measuring the weights of many of these cockroaches, a lab assistant reports that 14% of the cockroaches weigh more than 55 grams.
To find : What is the approximate standard deviation of weight for this species of cockroaches?
Solution :
We have given,
Mean
The sample mean x=55
A lab assistant reports that 14% of the cockroaches weigh more than 55 grams.
i.e. P(X>55)=14%=0.14
The total probability needs to sum up to 1,
The z-score value of 0.86 using z-score table is z=1.08.
Applying z-score formula,
Where, is standard deviation
Substitute the values,
The standard deviation of weight for this species of cockroaches is 4.62.
Answer:
The median is -8°F
Step-by-step explanation:
Attached Table.
The median is the "middle" value from all the numbers arranged from least to greatest.
Looking at the table, we need to arrange the numbers (first week numbers) from least to greatest.
-31, -29, -9, -8, 3, 4, 6
There are 7 numbers and the middle number is the 4th one, which is -8
The median is -8°F
