Which of the scatterplots to the right show a) no association? b) a negative association? c) a linear association? d) a w

Len [333]

Answer:

A scatter plot to the right shows a very strong association.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because a scatter plot to the right shows that both variables are positive and they both increase, so it shows a strong association between those variables.

Write an equation of the line passing through the point A(6,−1)A(6,−1) that is perpendicular to the line y = −2x+8y = −2x+8.

Olegator [25]

So the equation has to pass through (6,-1) and be perpendicular to y = -2x + 8.
The slope is -2, and to get the slope of a line perpendicular to another line you have to find the negative reciprocal of that slope. That means -2 is equal to
-2/1, and if you flip those numbers and find the opposite of that number making it positive, the slope of a line perpendicular to it is 1/2.
But the line also has to pass through (6,-1), so we have to find the y-intercept of the new line.
To do that, you multiply 6(the x) by the 1/2(the slope) and get 3. Then you subtract 3(previous answer) from -1(the y) and get -4. That means the y-intercept is -4!
All that's left is to build the equation with this information. The equation is:
y = -4 + 1/2x
Hope this helps!

A test has 20 true/false questions. What is the probability that a student passes the test if they guess the answers? Passing me

Minchanka [31]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that:

The probability that the student will get 15 correct questions in this test by guessing is 0.0207 = 2.07%.

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes, either the guess is correct, or it is not. The guess on a question is independent of any other question, hence, the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.

n is the number of trials.

p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

There are 20 questions, hence $n = 20$ .

Each question has 2 options, one of which is correct, hence $p = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$

The probability is:

$P(X \geq 15) = P(X = 15) + P(X = 16) + P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20)$

In which:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 15) = C_{20,15}.(0.5)^{15}.(0.5)^{5} = 0.0148$

$P(X = 16) = C_{20,16}.(0.5)^{16}.(0.5)^{4} = 0.0046$

$P(X = 17) = C_{20,17}.(0.5)^{17}.(0.5)^{3} = 0.0011$

$P(X = 18) = C_{20,18}.(0.5)^{18}.(0.5)^{2} = 0.0002$

$P(X = 16) = C_{20,19}.(0.5)^{19}.(0.5)^{1} = 0$

$P(X = 17) = C_{20,20}.(0.5)^{20}.(0.5)^{0} = 0$

Then:

$P(X \geq 15) = P(X = 15) + P(X = 16) + P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20) = 0.0148 + 0.0046 + 0.0011 + 0.0002 + 0 + 0 = 0.0207$

The probability that the student will get 15 correct questions in this test by guessing is 0.0207 = 2.07%.
