Given the equation Y -4 equals three force X +8 in point slope form, identify the equation of the same line in standard form

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

3x - y = -28

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation y-4 = 3(x+8), distribute and simplify to get the Standard Form.

y-4 = 3(x+8)

y - 4 = 3x + 24

y = 3x + 28

-3x + y = 28

Standard form does not allow the coefficient of x to be negative so multiply the equation by -1.

3x - y = -28

Use the information provided to determine a 95% confidence interval for the population variance. A researcher was interested in

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the population variance is (8.80, 32.45).

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - α)% confidence interval for the population variance is given as follows:

$\frac{(n-1)\cdot s^{2}}{\chi^{2}_{\alpha/2}}\leq \sigma^{2}\leq \frac{(n-1)\cdot s^{2}}{\chi^{2}_{1-\alpha/2}}$

It is provided that:

n = 20

s = 3.9

Confidence level = 95%

⇒ α = 0.05

Compute the critical values of Chi-square:

$\chi^{2}_{\alpha/2, (n-1)}=\chi^{2}_{0.05/2, (20-1)}=\chi^{2}_{0.025,19}=32.852\\\\\chi^{2}_{1-\alpha/2, (n-1)}=\chi^{2}_{1-0.05/2, (20-1)}=\chi^{2}_{0.975,19}=8.907$

*Use a Chi-square table.

Compute the 95% confidence interval for the population variance as follows:

$\frac{(n-1)\cdot s^{2}}{\chi^{2}_{\alpha/2}}\leq \sigma^{2}\leq \frac{(n-1)\cdot s^{2}}{\chi^{2}_{1-\alpha/2}}$

$\frac{(20-1)\cdot (3.9)^{2}}{32.852}\leq \sigma^{2}\leq \frac{(20-1)\cdot (3.9)^{2}}{8.907}\\\\8.7967\leq \sigma^{2}\leq 32.4453\\\\8.80\leq \sigma^{2}\leq 32.45$
