Answer:

y = x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write a line in slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

First, we need to find the slope, which is just the change in the y-coordinates divided by the change in the x-coordinates:

slope = m = $\frac{6-(-1)}{0-(-7)} =\frac{7}{7}=1$

Our equation now looks like this: y = x + b

Now, to find the y-intercept, let's use one of the points provided and plug those values of x and y into the incomplete equation we have to solve for b:

0 = 6 + b ⇒ b = -6

So, the equation is: y = x - 6.

Hope this helps!

Miguel has already put 36 sports cards in 5 folders. He buys 372 more cards. He puts the same number of cards into the 5 folders

Ainat [17]

I think the answer is 75.6 because i divided 36 cards by 5 folders and i got 1.2. And then i divided 372 extra cards by 5 folders am got 74.4. I add the two total and have 75.6 5/36 = 1.2 5/372 = 74.4 1.2+74.4= 75.6 srry if I'm wrong

An article written for a magazine claims that 78% of the magazine's subscribers report eating healthily the previous day. Suppos

Schach [20]

Answer:

89.44% probability that less than 80% of the sample would report eating healthily the previous day

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the binomial approximation to the normal to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .
