The unit rat is the cost per 1 unit
cost per 1 tomatoe

3.4/4=1.7/2=0.85/1

unit rate is $0.85 per tomatoe

Describe and correct the error a student made when graphing y+5=-3/4(x-8).

Elis [28]

In step 1 the y-intercept should be plotted at (0,-6)
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember that to find the Y intercept in any linear equation you need to use 0 as your X value, this means taking the formula in the y=mx+b form and replacing X with a 0.
Since the formula is y = -3/4x -6
We just insert a 0 insted of the "x"
y = -3/4(0) -6
y=0-6
y=6
So the y-intercept sould be placed in (0,-6)
That's what he did wrong when graphing the equation.

A recent survey based on a random sample of n=470 voters, predicted that independent candidate for the mayoral election will get

I have an expression

$\sigma = \sqrt{p(1-p)/n}$

floating around in my head; let's see if it makes sense.

The variance of binary valued random variable b that comes up 1 with probability p (so has mean p) is

$E( (b-p)^2 ) = (-p)^2(1-p) + (1-p)^2p = p(1-p)$

That's for an individual sample. For the observed average we divide by n, and for the standard deviation we take the square root:

$\sigma = \sqrt{p(1-p)/n}$

Plugging in the numbers,

$\sigma = \sqrt{.24(1-.24)/490} = 0.019 = 1.9\%$

One standard deviation of the average is almost 2% so a 27% outcome was 3/1.9 = 1.6 standard deviations from the mean, corresponding to a two sided probability of a bit bigger than 10% of happening by chance.

So this is borderline suspect; most surveys will include a two sigma margin of error, say plus or minus 4 percent here, and the results were within those bounds.
