Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

From the question the equation of the line is

y = 3x - 4

Comparing with the general equation above

The slope /m = 3

The y intercept / c = - 4

[PLEASE ANSWER BOTH QUESTIONS] The following data points represent the number of quesadillas each person at Toby's Tacos ate. So

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Part 1: Already solved.

Part 2: 1 quesadilla.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1: The data points given are 0, 0, 1/4, 1/2, 1/2, 1, 1, 1, 5/4, 2, and 2.

The data are already sorted from least to greatest.

Part 2: To get the interquartile range, we must know the first and third quartiles. To find those, we need to know the median of the data.

There are 11 data points, so we can cross out 5 numbers on the left and cross out 5 numbers on the right. That leaves a median of 1.

Since we know the median is 1, we can find the first quartile by finding the median of the following numbers: 0, 0, 1/4, 1/2, 1/2 (any number less than 1). There are five numbers, so cross out two numbers from the left and cross out two numbers from the right. We are left with a first quartile of 1/4.

Now that we have the first quartile, we need to find the third quartile. Since the median was actually the first "1" in the data set, the third quartile will be the median of the numbers to the right of that "1": 1, 1, 5/4, 2, 2. Cross out the leftmost two numbers, and cross out the rightmost two numbers. We are left with a third quartile of 5/4.

Now that we have both the third and first quartiles, we can find the interquartile range! The IQR is calculated by finding the third quartile minus the first quartile. 5/4 - 1/4 = 4/4 = 1.

So, your interquartile range is 1 quesadilla.

Hope this helps!

A random sample of 5120 permanent dwellings on an entire reservation showed that 1627 were traditional hogans.

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

a) $\hat p=\frac{1627}{5120}=0.3178$

b)The 99% confidence interval would be given by (0.301;0.355)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Notation and definitions

$X=1627$ number of permanent dwellings on the entire reservation that are traditional hogans.

$n=5120$ random sample taken

$\hat p=\frac{1627}{5120}=0.318$ estimated proportion of permanent dwellings on the entire reservation that are traditional hogans.

$p$ true population proportion of permanent dwellings on the entire reservation that are traditional hogans.

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})$

Part a

The point of estimate for p=the proportion of all permanent dwellings on the entire reservation that are traditional hogans is given by:

$\hat p=\frac{1627}{5120}=0.3178$

Part b

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 99% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.99=0.01$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ . And the critical value would be given by:
