Answer:

Slope = $\frac{5}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can define the slope as the "change in y values" divided by the "change in x values".

By change in, we mean, 2nd point MINUS the first point values.

The points given is:

(1,4) & (-1,-1)

Change in y value:

-1 - 4 = -5

Change in x value:

-1 -1 = -2

Slope is -5/-2 = 5/2

There is no answer choice. The correct answer is 5/2

One of the major advantage of the two-condition experiment has to do with interpreting the results of the study. Correct scientific methodology does not often allow an investigator to use previously acquired population data when conducting an experiment. For example, in the illustrative problem involving early speaking in children, we used a population mean value of 13.0 months. How do we really know the mean is 13.0 months? Suppose the figures were collected 3 to 5 years before performing the experiment. How do we know that infants haven’t changed over those years? And what about the conditions under which the population data were collected? Were they the same as in the experiment? Isn’t it possible that the people collecting the population data were not as motivated as the experimenter and, hence, were not as careful in collecting the data? Just how were the data collected? By being on hand at the moment that the child spoke the first word? Quite unlikely. The data probably were collected by asking parents when their children first spoke. How accurate, then, is the population mean?

13. To find the arc length, the formula is the angle of the arc out of 360° multiplied by the circumference of the full circle. Circumference of circle: pi × r × 2

$\frac{80}{360}$ × pi × 7 × 2 = 3 $\frac{1}{9}$ pi
