Answer: Slope is -1

Using the slope formula, we get

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

m = (0 - 4)/(2 - (-2))

m = (0 - 4)/(2 + 2)

m = -4/4

m = -1

What's going on here is that we subtract the y values 0 and 4 to get -4. This means that we dropped 4 units vertically to go from A to B. This is the rise. So rise = -4

The run is 4 because we moved 4 units to the right to go from A to B. This is found algebraically when we subtracted the x coordinates, so 2 - (-2) = 2 + 2 = 4.

Slope = rise/run = -4/4 = -1

You have the correct answer, assuming you wrote -1. I think your teacher just marked it wrong because you forgot to show steps.

The population standard deviation for the temperature of beers found in Scooter's Tavern is 0.26 degrees. If we want to be 90% c

Answer:

19 beers must be sampled.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.05$

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of $1 - \alpha$ .

That is z with a pvalue of $1 - 0.05 = 0.95$ , so Z = 1.645.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

The population standard deviation for the temperature of beers found in Scooter's Tavern is 0.26 degrees.

This means that $\sigma = 0.26$

If we want to be 90% confident that the sample mean beer temperature is within 0.1 degrees of the true mean temperature, how many beers must we sample?

This is n for which M = 0.1. So

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.1 = 1.645\frac{0.26}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.1\sqrt{n} = 1.645*0.26$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645*0.26}{0.1}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.645*0.26}{0.1})^2$

$n = 18.3$

Rounding up:

19 beers must be sampled.

Help me please i dont understand

Answer:

6/5 or 1.2, they're the same value

Step-by-step explanation:

When it says "rate of change", it's really just asking for the slope. If you don't know what the slope is, essentially how much the y-value increases by whenever x increases by 1. This can be formally defined using the equation: $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ which is essentially $\frac{rise}{run}$ . The subtraction is finding the difference between the two numbers to see how much it's changed by. Btw the order doesn't matter, I could plug in (-3, -2) as (x2, y2) or I could plug it in as (x1, y1) as long as I make sure to input it in correctly. In this example I'll just say (-3, -2) = (x1, y1) and (2, 4) = (x2, y2). Plugging these values into the equation gives you: $\frac{4- (-2)}{2- (-3)} = \frac{6}{5}$ that's the rate of change
