9-6n-(-5n)-(-8)
=9-6n+5n+8
=17-n

Rewritten: 9 - 6n + 5n + 8

Grouping like terms: -6n + 5n + 9 + 8

That equals to: -n + 17

Which is an ordered pair on the line 2.5,14 2.25,12 1.25,5 1.5,9

Savatey [412]

I would think that all but one point would be on the line. One way to approach this problem is to find the equation of the line based upon any two points chosen at random, and then determine whether or not the other points satisfy this equation. Next time, would you please enclose the coordinates of each point inside parentheses: (2.5,14), (2.25,12), and so on, to avoid confusion.
14-12
slope of line thru 1st 2 points is m = ---------------- = 2/0.25 = 8
2.50-2.25

What is the eqn of the line: y = mx + b becomes

14 = (8)(2.5) + b; find b:

14-20 = b = -6. Then, y = 8x - 6.

Now determine whether (12,1.25) lies on this line.

Is 1.25 = 8(12) - 6? Is 1.25 = 90? No. So, unless I've made arithmetic mistakes, (1.25, 5) does not lie on the line thru (2.5,14) and (2.25,12).

Why not work this problem out yourself using my approach as a guide?

Using the normal distribution and the central limit theorem, it is found that there is a 0.0166 = 1.66% probability of a sample proportion of 0.59 or less.

In a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

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

It 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, which is the percentile of X.

By the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution of sampling proportions of a proportion p in a sample of size n has mean $\mu = p$ and standard error $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1 - p)}{n}}$
