If (-7,43) and (4,-12) are two anchor points on the trend line, then find the equation of the line

1 answer:

8 0

Slope, found using the points is -55/11 = -5
We use that for the equation y=mx+b where m=-5. Since we also know one of the points, we can plug that in and find b
-12=-5(4)+b
-12=-20+b
8=b

So the equation of the line is y=-5x+8

Answer:

Event is not unusual(p>0.05).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

$p=0.10\\\\n=1100\\\\x=121$

#The sample proportion is calculated as:

$\hat p=\frac{x}{n}\\\\=\frac{121}{1100}\\\\=0.1100$

#Mathematically, the z-value is the value decreased by the mean then divided the standard deviation :

$z=\frac{\hat p- p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}\\\\\\\\=\frac{0.11-0.10}{\sqrt{\frac{0.10(1-0.10)}{1100}}}\\\\\\=1.1055$

#We use the normal probability table to determine the corresponding probability;

$P(X\geq 121)=P(Z>1.1055)\\\\=0.1314$

Hence, the probaility is more than 0.05, thus the event not unusual and thus this is not necessarily evidence that the proportion of Americans who are afraid to fly has increased.
