Answer:

x+3y=14

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form for an equation of a line is ax+by=c . Some books have restrictions on a,b, and c.

So first thing I'm going to do is state the equation I'm going to use to get there.

I'm going to use the point-slope form because we are given a point (2 really) and we can find the slope using two points (we have).

Line up points and subtract. You will then put second difference over the first difference. This will give you the slope. You could just use (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).

( -1 , 5)

-( 2, 4)

-----------

-3 1

So the slope is 1/-3 or -1/3 .

So the equation in point-slope form, y-y1=m(x-x1), is y-4=-1/3 (x-2) .

y-4=-1/3 (x-2)

First step: I'm going to get rid of the fraction by multiplying both sides by 3.

3y-12=-1(x-2)

Second step: Distribute

3y-12=-x+2

Third step: add x on both sidfes

x+3y-12=2

Fourth step: add 12 on both sides

x+3y=14.

989.5 divided by 17.8 is 55.5898876404
so about 55 ish
I think that's right but I'm not sure :)

A survey on British Social Attitudes asked respondents if they had ever boycotted goods for ethical reasons (Statesman, January

Blababa [14]

Answer:

a) 27.89% probability that two have ever boycotted goods for ethical reasons

b) 41.81% probability that at least two respondents have boycotted goods for ethical reasons

c) 41.16% probability that between 3 and 6 have boycotted goods for ethical reasons

d) The expected number is 2.3 and the standard deviation is 1.33.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

23% of the respondents have boycotted goods for ethical reasons.

This means that $p = 0.23$

a) In a sample of six British citizens, what is the probability that two have ever boycotted goods for ethical reasons?

This is P(X = 2) when n = 6. So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 2) = C_{6,2}.(0.23)^{2}.(0.77)^{4} = 0.2789$

27.89% probability that two have ever boycotted goods for ethical reasons

b) In a sample of six British citizens, what is the probability that at least two respondents have boycotted goods for ethical reasons?

Either less than two have, or at least two. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$P(X < 2) + P(X \geq 2) = 1$

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)$

In which

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

$P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.23)^{0}.(0.77)^{6} = 0.2084$

$P(X = 1) = C_{6,1}.(0.23)^{1}.(0.77)^{5} = 0.3735$

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.2084 + 0.3735 = 0.5819$

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.5819 = 0.4181$

41.81% probability that at least two respondents have boycotted goods for ethical reasons

c) In a sample of ten British citizens, what is the probability that between 3 and 6 have boycotted goods for ethical reasons?

Now n = 10.

$P(3 \leq X \leq 6) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)$

$P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.23)^{3}.(0.77)^{7} = 0.2343$

$P(X = 4) = C_{10,4}.(0.23)^{4}.(0.77)^{6} = 0.1225$

$P(X = 5) = C_{10,5}.(0.23)^{5}.(0.77)^{5} = 0.0439$

$P(X = 6) = C_{10,6}.(0.23)^{6}.(0.77)^{4} = 0.0109$

$P(3 \leq X \leq 6) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) = 0.2343 + 0.1225 + 0.0439 + 0.0109 = 0.4116$

41.16% probability that between 3 and 6 have boycotted goods for ethical reasons

d) In a sample of ten British citizens, what is the expected number of people that have boycotted goods for ethical reasons? Also find the standard deviation.

$E(X) = np = 10*0.23 = 2.3$

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{10*0.23*0.77} = 1.33$

The expected number is 2.3 and the standard deviation is 1.33.
