Answer:

<h2>y = -3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

METHOD 1:

The sloope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

y=mx+b

<em>m</em><em> - slope</em>

<em>b</em><em> - y-intercept</em>

The formula of a sloe:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

<em>(x₁, y₁), (x₂, y₂)</em><em> - points on a line</em>

We have the points <em>(-2, -3)</em> and <em>(1, -3)</em>.

Substitute:

m=\dfrac{-3-(-3)}{1-(-2)}=\dfrac{-3+3}{1+2}=\dfrac{0}{3}=0

Put the value of the slope and the coordinates of the point (1, -3) to the equation of a line:

-3=0(1)+b\to b=-3

Finally:

y=-3

METHOD 2:

We can see that the second coordinates of the points (ordinate) are the same.

Conclusion: This is a horizontal line.

The equation of a horizontal line:

y=b

We have <em>(-2, -3), (1, -3) → y = -3</em>

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-3})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-3}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-3}-\stackrel{y1}{(-3)}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{1}-\underset{x_1}{(-2)}}}\implies \cfrac{-3+3}{1+2}\implies \cfrac{0}{3}\implies 0

Vail Resorts pays part-time seasonal employees at ski resorts on an hourly basis. At a certain mountain, the hourly rates have a
notsponge [240]

Answer:

z=0.842

And if we solve for a we got

\mu=13.16 +0.842*3=15.69

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the hourly rates of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(\mu,3)  

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>13.16)=0.20   (a)

P(X   (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.  

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.80 of the area on the left and 0.20 of the area on the right it's z=0.842. On this case P(Z<0.842)=0.8 and P(z>0.842)=0.20

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

P(X  

P(z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=0.842

And if we solve for a we got

\mu=13.16 +0.842*3=15.69

Find mystery number
In-s [12.5K]

The number is less than 190,000 and greater than 180,000

5,000 more than the number has 187 thousands

2000 less than the number has 4 hundreds


180, 000 <n> 190, 000

180,000 + 2000 = n = 5000-187, 000

182,000 = n = 182, 000  

Or,  

 180, 000 <n> 190,000                    

 n + 5000= 187, 000                           n – 2000 = 180, 000

 n= 187, 000- 5000                             n = 180, 000 + 2000

 n= 182, 000                                       n= 182, 000
