Answer:

The equation of the line is y = 6x - 2 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for the equation of line is.

$(y - y_{1}) = m (x - x_{1})$

Where m is the slope.

$m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$

As given

If (-6,-38) and (5,28) are two anchor points on the trend line.

Than

$m = \frac{28 - (-38)}{5 - (-6)}$

$m = \frac{28 + 38}{5 + 6}$

$m = \frac{66}{11}$

m = 6

Put the value in the equation of a line.

$(y - (-38)) = 6 (x - (-6))$

$(y + 38) = 6 (x + 6)$

$(y + 38) = 6x + 6\times 6$

$(y + 38) = 6x + 36$

y = 6x +36 - 38

y = 6x - 2

Therefore the equation of the line is y = 6x - 2 .

Answer:

99.74% probability that the sample proportion will be less than 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to use the binomial approximation to the normal to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .
