The slope-point formula:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have (3, -5) and (-8, 4).

Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{4-(-5)}{-8-3}=\dfrac{9}{-11}=-\dfrac{9}{11}\\\\y-4=-\dfrac{9}{11}(x-(-8))\\\\y-4=-\dfrac{9}{11}(x+8)\to C)$

Answer:

b) One sample z-test for means

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Distribution

we have μ₀ (population mean from previous studies)

sample size n = 100

standar deviation of population σ = 0.75

And it was determined from sample, that μ = 5 : so we want to know if, at some significance level that value (which is smaller than population mean ) could help in relation to decide about rejecting hypothesis H₀

We should use a z one tail-test for means (left tail)

a sixth grade class has 12 boys and 24 girls consider this statement: <br />for every two boys there are 4 girls do you ag

Nitella [24]

So the ratio of boys to girls is 12:24.. now, is that an equivalent ratio as 2 boys for 4 girls? or 2:4? let's see.

$\bf \cfrac{boys}{girls}\qquad 12:24\qquad \cfrac{12}{24}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{1}{2}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{boys}{girls}\qquad 2:4\qquad \cfrac{2}{4}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{1}{2}}$

you could start simplifying the 12/24 fraction by dividing by some common multiple, say 2, and get 6/12, then divide by 3 and get 2/4 and stop there.

then you'll notice that 12/24 is really 2/4 in disguise.
