Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First, rewrite the given equation in the form of y=mx+c.
m is the gradient while c is the y-intercept.
3x-5y=8
5y= 3x -8
Thus, the gradient of the given equation is ⅗.
The product of the gradients of perpendicular lines is -1.
(gradient of line)(⅗) = -1
gradient of line= -1 ÷⅗
gradient of line=
To find the value of c, substitute a coordinate.
When x=3, y=7,
7= -5 +c
c= 7+5
c= 12
Hence, the equation of the line is .
Answer:
z≈3.16
p≈0.001
we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the student knows more than half of the answers and is not just guessing in 0.05 significance level.
Step-by-step explanation:
As a result of step 2, we can assume normal distribution for the null hypothesis
<em>step 3:</em>
z statistic is computed as follows:
z= where
- X is the proportion of correct answers in the test (
)
- M is the expected proportion of correct answers according to the null hypothesis (0.5)
- p is the probability of correct answer (0.5)
- N is the total number of questions in the test (40)
z= ≈ 3.16
And corresponding p value for the z-statistic is p≈0.001.
Since p<0.05, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the student knows more than half of the answers and is not just guessing in 0.05 significance level.
