AB passes through the points (1,3) and (3,17). If CD is perpendicular to AB, what is the slope of CD?​

First of all, we need the slope of AB, which we can compute as

m_{AB} = \dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \dfrac{17-3}{3-1}=\dfrac{14}{2} = 7

Now, if a line is perpendicular to a given line, their slopes follow this equation:

m_{AB}m_{CD} = -1 \iff m_{CD} = -\dfrac{1}{m_{AB}}

So, the slope of CD is -1/7

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

z=\frac{0.694 -0.75}{\sqrt{\frac{0.75(1-0.75)}{180}}}=-1.735  

p_v =P(z  

If we compare the p value obtained and the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of americans between 17 to 24 that not qualify for the military is significantly less than 0.75 or 75% .  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation  

n=180 represent the random sample taken  

X=125 represent the number of americans between 17 to 24 that not qualify for the military

\hat p=\frac{125}{180}=0.694 estimated proportion of americans between 17 to 24 that not qualify for the military

p_o=0.75 is the value that we want to test  

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level  

Confidence=95% or 0.95  

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

2) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that less than 75% of Americans between the ages of 17 to 24 do not qualify for the military :  

Null hypothesis: p\geq 0.75  

Alternative hypothesis:p < 0.75  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:  

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion \hat p is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o.  

3) Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.694 -0.75}{\sqrt{\frac{0.75(1-0.75)}{180}}}=-1.735  

4) Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level provided \alpha=0.05. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a left tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(z  

If we compare the p value obtained and the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of americans between 17 to 24 that not qualify for the military is significantly less than 0.75 or 75% .

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

  • E) 48

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Parallel lines divide the transversals proportionally.</em>

Set proportions and solve for k:

  • k/24 = 64/32
  • k/24 = 2
  • k = 24*2
  • k = 48

Correct choice is E.

What percent of 200 is 16?,,,,
Zina [86]

Answer:

8%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent, divide 16 by 200, then multiply it by 100.

(16 / 200) x 100

0.08 x 100

= 8

So, 16 is 8% of 200
