Answer: The slope is 3 and the y-intercept is 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a linear function can be calculated as:

s = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Where y2 = f(x2) and y1 = f(x1) and f(x) is the linear function.

So here we can use any two pairs of the set of data, for example, the first two.

(-1 , -3/2) and (-1/2,0)

s = (0 -(-3/2))/(-1/2 - (-1)) = (3/2)/(1/2) =(3/2)*(2/1) = 3

So the slope is equal to 3.

the y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0, in the table we can see that when x = 0. the value of y = 3/2

So the function is: y = 3*x + 3/2

and the correct option is the fourth one.

Archy [21]

Answer:

3(2 + x)

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to multiply 3 by the sum of 2 and any number, or x. So if you put the expression of 2 + x in parenthesis, and 3 next to it. You'll get your answer.

Answer:

96.42% probability that the number of tails is between 40 and 60.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to 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 $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .
