Answer:

$y=-\frac{5}{3} x-\frac{42}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the slope and another point, simply plug them into the point-slope formula to find your y-intercept.

$y-y1=m(x-x1)\\y-(-6)=\frac{3}{5} (x-4)\\y+6=\frac{3}{5} x-\frac{12}{5} \\y=\frac{3}{5} x-\frac{42}{5}$

Now that we've found your y-intercept, we have the original equation. To find the perpendicular equation, you need the opposite reciprocal of your slope.

To find the 'opposite,' change your slope's sign. Since your slope is positive $\frac{3}{5}$ , the opposite is $-\frac{3}{5}$ .

To find the 'reciprocal,' flip your fraction. This will make your slope $-\frac{5}{3}$ .

Your final equation is:

$y=-\frac{5}{3} x-\frac{42}{5}$

Answer:

7. -37/36 or -1 1/36

8. -3/10

9. 1/24

10. -118/21 or -5 13/21

11. 97/12 or 8 1/12

12. 49/8 or 6 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

To subtract fractions, they must have the same denominator. The common denominator will be the LCM (lowest common multiple) of the two denominators. Then, combine the fractions and simplify.

7. $-\frac{1}{4}-\frac{7}{9}$ Find a common denominator

$=-\frac{1*9}{4*9}-\frac{7*4}{9*4}$

$=-\frac{9}{36}-\frac{28}{36}$

$=\frac{-9-28}{36}$ Combine the fractions

$=\frac{-37}{36}$ Answer. Already in lowest terms.

$=-1\frac{1}{36}$ Keep a negative number. 37 goes into 36 one time, leaving 1 remainder (becomes numerator)

8. $\frac{3}{5}-\frac{9}{10}$ Find a common denominator

$=\frac{3*2}{5*2}-\frac{9}{10}$

$=\frac{6}{10}-\frac{9}{10}$

$=\frac{6-9}{10}$ Combine the fractions

$=\frac{-3}{10}$ Answer in simplest form.

9. $\frac{5}{8}-\frac{7}{12}$ Find common denominator

$=\frac{5*3}{8*3}-\frac{7*2}{12*2}$

$=\frac{15}{24}-\frac{14}{24}$

$=\frac{15-14}{24}$ Combine the fractions

$=\frac{1}{24}$ Answer in simplest form

10. $-1\frac{1}{3}-4\frac{2}{7}$ Translate to improper fraction

$=-\frac{4}{3}-\frac{30}{7}$ Multiplied each whole number with base, added to numerator

$=-\frac{28}{21}-\frac{90}{21}$ Found common denominator

$=\frac{-28-90}{21}$ Combined fractions

$=\frac{-118}{21}$ Answer in improper form

$=-5\frac{13}{21}$ Answer as a mixed number

11. $5\frac{5}{6}-(-2\frac{1}{4})$ Convert to improper fraction

$\frac{35}{6}-(-\frac{9}{4})$ Two minuses make a plus

$=\frac{35}{6}+\frac{9}{4}$ Find common denominator

$=\frac{35*2}{6*2}+\frac{9*3}{4*3}$

$=\frac{70}{12}+\frac{27}{12}$

$=\frac{70+27}{12}$ Combined fractions

$=\frac{97}{12}$ Answer as improper fraction

$=8\frac{1}{12}$ Answer as mixed fraction

12. $12\frac{1}{2}-6\frac{3}{8}$ Convert to improper fraction

$\frac{25}{2}-\frac{51}{8}$

$\frac{25*4}{2*4}-\frac{51}{8}$ Find common denominator

$\frac{100}{8}-\frac{51}{8}$

$\frac{100-51}{8}$ Combined fractions

$\frac{49}{8}$ Answer as improper fraction

$8\frac{1}{8}$ Answer as mixed number

Repeated student samples. Of all freshman at a large college, 16% made the dean’s list in the current year. As part of a class p

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

a) p-hat (sampling distribution of sample proportions)

b) Symmetric

c) σ=0.058

d) Standard error

e) If we increase the sample size from 40 to 90 students, the standard error becomes two thirds of the previous standard error (se=0.667).

Step-by-step explanation:

a) This distribution is called the sampling distribution of sample proportions (p-hat).

b) The shape of this distribution is expected to somewhat normal, symmetrical and centered around 16%.

This happens because the expected sample proportion is 0.16. Some samples will have a proportion over 0.16 and others below, but the most of them will be around the population mean. In other words, the sample proportions is a non-biased estimator of the population proportion.

c) The variability of this distribution, represented by the standard error, is:

$\sigma=\sqrt{p(1-p)/n}=\sqrt{0.16*0.84/40}=0.058$

d) The formal name is Standard error.

e) If we divided the variability of the distribution with sample size n=90 to the variability of the distribution with sample size n=40, we have:

$\frac{\sigma_{90}}{\sigma_{40}}=\frac{\sqrt{p(1-p)/n_{90}} }{\sqrt{p(1-p)/n_{40}}}}= \sqrt{\frac{1/n_{90}}{1/n_{40}}}=\sqrt{\frac{1/90}{1/40}}=\sqrt{0.444}= 0.667$

If we increase the sample size from 40 to 90 students, the standard error becomes two thirds of the previous standard error (se=0.667).
