If it drops 2 degrees every hour and the time is 12:00 it would take 6 hours to get the temperature to 0 degrees and if it wants the temperature to get to -4 you need 2 more hours so it would take 8 hours and be 8:00 by the time it got to -4

What is the equation of this graphed line ?

yanalaym [24]

Equations of straight lines are in the form y = mx + c (m and c are numbers). m is the gradient of the line and c is the y-intercept (where the graph crosses the y-axis).

Suppose that each of 935 smokers received a nicotine patch, which delivers nicotine to the bloodstream but at a much slower rate

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

26.2% of smokers,when given this treatment, would refrain from smoking for at least 6 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we have that:

935 smokers received the treatment(nicotine patch).

After 6 months, 245 of them were not smoking.

Assuming it is reasonable to regard this sample as representative of all smokers, estimate the percentage of all smokers who, when given this treatment, would refrain from smoking for at least 6 months.

This percentage is 245/935 = 0.2620.

26% of smokers,when given this treatment, would refrain from smoking for at least 6 months.

According to a recent publication, the mean price of new mobile homes is $63 comma 800. Assume a standard deviation of $7900.

wolverine [178]

Answer:

a. For n=25, the mean and standard deviation of the prices of the mobile homes all possible sample mean prices are $63,800 and $1,580, respectively.

b. For n=50, the mean and standard deviation of the prices of the mobile homes all possible sample mean prices are $63,800 and $1,117, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, for each sample size, we have a sampling distribution (a distribution for the population of sample means), with the following parameters:

$\mu_s=\mu=63,800\\\\\sigma_s=\sigma/\sqrt{n}=7,900/\sqrt{n}$

For n=25 we have:

$\mu_s=\mu=63,800\\\\\sigma_s=\sigma/\sqrt{n}=7,900/\sqrt{25}=7,900/5=1,580$

The spread of the sampling distribution is always smaller than the population spread of the individuals. The spread is smaller as the sample size increase.

This has the implication that is expected to have more precision in the estimation of the population mean when we use bigger samples than smaller ones.

If n=50, we have:

$\mu_s=\mu=63,800\\\\\sigma_s=\sigma/\sqrt{n}=7,900/\sqrt{50}=7,900/7.07=1,117$
