Answer:

$y=\frac{1}{3}x-\frac{16}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Arranging the given equation in slope-intercept form ( y = mx + b ):

$y+1=-3(x-5)\\y+1=-3x+15\\y=-3x+15-1\\y=-3x+14$

We know that the perpendicular line would have a slope (m) that is negative reciprocal of this ( $\frac{1}{3}$ ). Thus we can write the perpendicular line's equation as $y=\frac{1}{3}x+b$ .

Now putting x = 4 and y = -6 into the equation, we can solve for b:

$y=\frac{1}{3}x+b\\-6=\frac{1}{3}(4)+b\\-6=\frac{4}{3}+b\\b=-6-\frac{4}{3}\\b=-\frac{16}{3}$

Thus, the equation of the perpendicular line is $y=\frac{1}{3}x-\frac{16}{3}$

Answer:

A sample of 499 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is given by:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In this question, we have that:

$\pi = 0.21$

90% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.1$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95$ , so $Z = 1.645$ .

How large a sample would be required in order to estimate the fraction of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level at the 90% confidence level with an error of at most 0.03

We need a sample of n, which is found when $M = 0.03$ . So
