What is the slope of a line passing through (3, 4) and (5,8)? 1/2 2 2/4 4/2
1 answer:
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope of a line given two points you could use the formula:
.
However, what I'm fixing to do is equivalent to that except I think easier to remember.
You line up the points vertically and subtract, then put 2nd difference over 1st difference.
Like this:
( 3 , 4)
- ( 5 , 8)
---------------
-2 -4
So the slope is -4/-2=4/2=2.
The slope is 2.

The normal distribution curve for the problem is shown below
We need to standardise the value X=405.5 by using the formula
We now need to find the probability of z=0.32 by reading the z-table
Note that z-table would give the reading to the left of z-score, so if your aim is to work out the area to the right of a z-score, then you'd need to do:
from the z-table, the reading
gives 0.6255
hence,
The probability that the mean weight for a sample of 40 trout exceeds 405.5 gram is 0.3475 = 34.75%
