Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation in slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b, where x and y can represent a point on the line by using the coordinates (x,y), m is the slope, and b is the y intercept.

To double check this equation, plug in the coordinates of the point (3,6) to make sure both sides of the equation equal to each other.

6 = -5(3) + 7

6 = -15 + 7

6 = -8

$6 \neq -8$

Because the equation is invalid, the line does not pass through these points.

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Null hypothesis: $p_{1} = p_{2}$

Alternative hypothesis: $p_{1} \neq p_{2}$

$z=\frac{0.179-0.15}{\sqrt{0.17(1-0.17)(\frac{1}{140}+\frac{1}{60})}}=0.500$

$p_v =2*P(Z>0.500)=0.617$

So the p value is a very low value and using any significance level for example $\alpha=0.05, 0,1,0.15$ always $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the two proportions NOT differs significantly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

$X_{1}=25$ represent the number of homeowners who would buy the security system

$X_{2}=9$ represent the number of renters who would buy the security system

$n_{1}=140$ sample 1

$n_{2}=60$ sample 2

$p_{1}=\frac{25}{140}=0.179$ represent the proportion of homeowners who would buy the security system

$p_{2}=\frac{9}{60}= 0.15$ represent the proportion of renters who would buy the security system

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the value for the test (variable of interest)

Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the two proportions differs , the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $p_{1} = p_{2}$

Alternative hypothesis: $p_{1} \neq p_{2}$

We need to apply a z test to compare proportions, and the statistic is given by:

$z=\frac{p_{1}-p_{2}}{\sqrt{\hat p (1-\hat p)(\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}})}}$ (1)

Where $\hat p=\frac{X_{1}+X_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}=\frac{25+9}{140+60}=0.17$

Calculate the statistic

Replacing in formula (1) the values obtained we got this:

$z=\frac{0.179-0.15}{\sqrt{0.17(1-0.17)(\frac{1}{140}+\frac{1}{60})}}=0.500$

Statistical decision

For this case we don't have a significance level provided $\alpha$ , but we can calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a two sided test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(Z>0.500)=0.617$

An automobile manufacturer has given its car a 52.6 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted t

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Null hypothesis: $\mu = 52.6$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 52.6$

$z=\frac{52.8-52.6}{\frac{1.6}{\sqrt{250}}}=1.976$

$p_v =2*P(z>1.976)=0.0482$

Since the p value is lower than the significance level wedon't have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean is significantly different from 52.6 MPG.

Step-by-step explanation:

Information provided

$\bar X=52.8$ represent the sample mean for the MPG of the cars

$\sigma=1.6$ represent the population standard deviation

$n=250$ sample size of cars

$\mu_o =52.6$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test

Hypothesis

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean of MPG is different from 52.6 MPG, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu = 52.6$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 52.6$

Since we know the population deviation the statistic is given by:

$z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

Calculate the statistic

Replacing we have this:

$z=\frac{52.8-52.6}{\frac{1.6}{\sqrt{250}}}=1.976$

Decision

Since is a two tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(z>1.976)=0.0482$

Since the p value is lower than the significance level wedon't have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean is significantly different from 52.6 MPG.

The United States Congress contains 435 representatives and 100 senators. You want to make groups that each have the same number

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest common factor of 435 and 100 is 5, so if you make 5 groups, each group will have 87 representatives and 20 senators.
