Based on the graph, which equation represents the relationship between the height of trees (y) and the amount of rainfall (x)?

slega [8]

Given:

Given that the graph that shows the amount of rainfall( in centimeters) and the height of the trees( in meters)

We need to determine the equation that represents the relationship between the height of trees(y) and the amount of rainfall(x).

Slope of the equation:

The slope can be determined using the formula,

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Substituting the points (20,10) and (40, 20) in the above formula.

Thus, we get;

$m=\frac{20-10}{40-20}$

$m=\frac{10}{20}$

$m=0.5$

Thus, the slope of the equation is 0.5

y - intercept:

The y - intercept of the equation is the value of y when x = 0.

Thus, from the graph, when x = 0, the value of y is 0.

Hence, the y - intercept is b = 0

Equation of the graph:

The equation of the given graph can be determined using the formula,

$y=mx+b$

Substituting the values, we get;

$y=0.5x+0$

$y=0.5x$

Thus, the equation that represents the relationship between the height of the trees (y) and the amount of rainfall (x) is $y=0.5x$

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.

You are testing the claim that the proportion of men who own cats is significantly different than the proportion of women who ow

otez555 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a test of 2 population proportions. Let 1 and 2 be the subscript for the men and women who own cats respectively. The population proportion of men and women who own cats would be p1 and p2 respectively.

p1 - p2 = difference in the proportion of men and women who own cats.

The null hypothesis is

H0 : p1 = p2

p1 - p2 = 0

The alternative hypothesis is

Ha : p1 ≠ p2

p1 - p2 ≠ 0

it is a two tailed test

Sample proportion = x/n

Where

x represents number of success

n represents number of samples

For men

n1 = 80

p1 = 55/100 = 0.55

x1 = p1n1 = 0.55 × 80 = 44

For women,

n2 = 100

p2 = 30/100 = 0.3

x2 = p2n2 = 0.3 × 100 = 30

The pooled proportion, pc is

pc = (x1 + x2)/(n1 + n2)

pc = (44 + 30)/(80 + 100) = 0.41

1 - pc = 1 - 0.41 = 0.59

z = (p1 - p2)/√pc(1 - pc)(1/n1 + 1/n2)

z = (0.55 - 0.3)/√(0.41)(0.59)(1/80 + 1/100) = 3.39

Test statistic = 3.39

1.What is the approximate volume of a cone with a height of 6 mm and radius of 18 mm?

Masja [62]

1 ) V = 1/3 * 18² * 3.14 * 6 = 2,034.72 mm³
2 ) V = 1/3 * 6² * 3.14 * 9 = 339.12 in³
3 ) V = 1/3 * 150² * 3.14 * 240 = 5,652,000 in³
5,652,000 : 12,000 = 471 weeks

7.109) The leading brand of dishwasher detergent has a 30% market share. A sample of 25 dishwasher detergent customers was taken

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

0.9021 = 90.21% probability that 10 or fewer customers choose the leading brand

Step-by-step explanation:

For each customer, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they choose the leading brand, or they do not. The probability of a customer choosing the leading brand is independent of any other customer, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

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

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

The leading brand of dishwasher detergent has a 30% market share.

This means that $p = 0.3$

A sample of 25 dishwasher detergent customers was taken.

This means that $n = 25$

a. What is the probability that 10 or fewer customers choose the leading brand?

This is:

$P(X \leq 10) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)$

In which

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{25,0}.(0.3)^{0}.(0.7)^{25} = 0.0001$

$P(X = 1) = C_{25,1}.(0.3)^{1}.(0.7)^{24} = 0.0014$

$P(X = 2) = C_{25,2}.(0.3)^{2}.(0.7)^{23} = 0.0074$

$P(X = 3) = C_{25,3}.(0.3)^{3}.(0.7)^{22} = 0.0243$

$P(X = 4) = C_{25,4}.(0.3)^{4}.(0.7)^{21} = 0.0572$

$P(X = 5) = C_{25,5}.(0.3)^{5}.(0.7)^{20} = 0.1030$

$P(X = 6) = C_{25,6}.(0.3)^{6}.(0.7)^{19} = 0.1472$

$P(X = 7) = C_{25,7}.(0.3)^{7}.(0.7)^{18} = 0.1712$

$P(X = 8) = C_{25,8}.(0.3)^{8}.(0.7)^{17} = 0.1651$

$P(X = 9) = C_{25,9}.(0.3)^{9}.(0.7)^{16} = 0.1336$

$P(X = 10) = C_{25,10}.(0.3)^{10}.(0.7)^{15} = 0.0916$

Then

$P(X \leq 10) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.0001 + 0.0014 + 0.0074 + 0.0243 + 0.0572 + 0.1030 + 0.1472 + 0.1712 + 0.1651 + 0.1336 + 0.0916 = 0.9021$

0.9021 = 90.21% probability that 10 or fewer customers choose the leading brand
