What is the slope of the line passing through the points (-1,-7) and (-9,-2)?

Mathematics

nalin [4]3 years ago

Answer: m = -5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation for slope is rise over run, also known as:

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

From the points (x, y), we can get all the variables we need.

(-1, -7) gives us x1 = -1 and y1 = -7

(-9, -2) gives us x2 = -9 and y2 = -2

If we plug all the values in, we get:

m = (-2 - (-7))/(-9 - (-1))

m = (-2 + 7)/(-9 + 1) the negatives cancel

m = (5)/(-8)

m = -5/8

karen is 3 yrs younger than floyd. floyd is 2 years older than maria. marias age is the smallest two-digit number. how old are t
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Maria is 10, Floyd is 8, and Karen is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Having said that Maria's age was the smallest two-digit number, that's ten. (10). If Floyd is 2 years younger then 10-2=8. Karen is 3 years younger, so she would be 8-3=5.

Given that the equation y=mx + b where m is 12 and the line passes through the point (-2,8), what would be the value of b?
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

d

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer would be D. We can continue the line from the point (-2,8) because we know the slope so we will continue it forward by two on the x axis. Since we go forward by two we are going up by 24 (12*2) on the y axis so the y intercept (b) would be 8 + 24 which is 32. Sorry if it is hard to understand.

Is the confidence interval affected by the fact that the data appear to be from a population that is not normally​ distributed?
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

D. No, because the sample size is large enough.

Step-by-step explanation:

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

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".

If the sample size is higher than 30, on this case the answer would be:

D. No, because the sample size is large enough.

And the reason is given by The Central Limit Theorem since states if the individual distribution is normal then the sampling distribution for the sample mean is also normal.

From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

If the sample size it's not large enough n<30, on that case the distribution would be not normal.
