Answer:

That should be 2x + 5y = 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to correct this: y + 7 = -⅖(x - 10). Now, first convert to Slope-Intercept Form by moving -7 to the other side of the equivalence symbol to get y = -⅖x + 4, then finally convert to Standard Form by moving ⅖x to the other side of the equivalence symbol to end up with ⅖x + y = 4.. Now, there is an extended step when it comes to fractional coefficients, and that is multiplying the whole equation by the denominator to get rid of the denominator being there in the first place, REALLY ending with 2x + 5y = 20.

BUT, if your assignment says otherwise, then the first looks correct. I hope this helps.

Answer:

The percent error based on the average measurements is 0.8%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard equation for percent error is [(original - actual)/original} x 100. The original amount is 100 degrees celcius. Your average measurement can be found by adding the three temperatures together and dividing by the number of temperatures collected: 98.5 + 99.3 + 99.8 = 297.63/3 = 99.2. When we place our numbers into the equation and solve, we get: (100 - 99.2)/100 = 0.008 x 100 (to get our percentage) = 0.8%.

Three students want to estimate the mean backpack weight of their schoolmates. To do this, they each randomly chose 8 schoolmates and weighed their backpacks. Then as per the given sample data,

(a) The sample means of the backpacks are: 6.375,6.375,6.625

(b) Range of sample means: 0.25

(c)The true statement is: The closer the range of the sample means is to 0, the less confident they can be in their estimate.

For the first sample, mean= 6.375

For the second sample, mean= 6.375

For the third sample, mean= 6.625

Range of sample means=Maximum Mean- Minimum Mean

= 6.625 - 6.375

= 0.25

The students will estimate the average backpack weight of their classmates using sample means, the true statement is:

The closer the range of the sample means is to 0, the more confident they can be in their estimate.
