Answer: B. negative

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: In a linear equation, the independent variable increases at a constant rate while the dependent variable decreases at a constant rate.

We know that the slope of a line is given by :-

k=\dfrac{\text{change in y}}{\text{change in x}}

According to the given information, if independent variable increases at a constant rate while the dependent variable decreases at a constant rate, then the slope of line will be :-

k=\dfrac{\text{Negative}}{\text{Positive}}=\text{Negative}

Hence, the slope of line = Negative.

Does the sample provide strong evidence that the mean weight of the bags is lower than the 35.6 grams listed on the package? Gro
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

As probability of that happening is very small; Yes, 33.6 is less than 35.6 grams   because   it  provide strong evidence that the mean weight of the bags is lower than the 35.6 grams listed on the package.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a normal distribution Z-score

Z = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

Given that :

the mean (\mu) = 35.6

standard deviation (\sigma) = 5.2

sample size (n) = 35

standard error: \sigma_x = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

\sigma_x = \frac{5.2}{\sqrt{35}}

\sigma_x = 0.879

The probability that a random sample of 35 bags has a mean weight of 33.6 grams or less is :

P(X<33.6)  = P(Z < - 2.28)

= 0.0114

Conclusion:

As probability of the happening is very small; Yes, 33.6 is less than 35.6 grams   because   it  provide strong evidence that the mean weight of the bags is lower than the 35.6 grams listed on the package.
