If the number was x, then you could write the expression x-5 since you show five less or subtracted from the number. Hope this helps.

The number is unknown so the number is x. Five less is -5. Five less than a number (x) is x-5.

Tarinda's corn plant was 7- 1/3 inches tall at the end of Week 1. The corn plant was 18 1/2 inches tall at the end of Week 2. Ho
liberstina [14]

Answer:

The corn plant grew by 11.17 inches during week 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

7 and 1/3 inches tall at the end of Week 1.

The height at the end of week 1, as a simple fraction, is:

7 + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3*7 + 1}{3} = \frac{22}{3}

The corn plant was 18 1/2 inches tall at the end of Week 2.

At the end of week 2, the height will be of:

18 + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{18*2+1}{2} = \frac{37}{2}

How many inches did the corn plant grow during Week 2?

Height at the end of week 2 subtracted by the height at the end of week 1. So

\frac{37}{2} - \frac{22}{3} = \frac{3*37-2*22}{6} = \frac{67}{6} = 11.17

The corn plant grew by 11.17 inches during week 2.

Answer:

a. 2,727

b. (85.6%, 87.6%)

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage of the adults aged 57 through 85 that used at least one prescription medication = 86.6%

a. The expected number of the 3,149 subjects aged 57 through 85 that used at least one prescription medication = 3,149 × 86.6/100 = 2,727.034 ≈ 2,727 (subjects)

b. The 90% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of adults aged 57 through 85 years who use at least one prescription medication is given as follows;

CI=\hat{p}\pm z\times \sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p} \cdot (1-\hat{p})}{n}}

Where;

\hat p = 86.6/100= 0.866

n = 3,149

z = The z-value at 90% confidence level = 1.645

Therefore, we get the following confidence interval of the percentage of adults (rounded to one decimal place as required);

\left (0.866 - 1.645\times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.866 \times (1-0.866)}{3,149}}\right) \times  100 \%  \approx 85.6 \%

\left( 0.866 + 1.645\times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.866 \times (1-0.866)}{3,149}} \right) \times 100 \%  \approx 87.6 \%

The 90% confidence interval, of the percentage C.I. ≈ (85.6%, 87.6%).

What is the equation in slope-intercept form of the line graphed below?
SSSSS [86.1K]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

y = mx + b

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

According to the graph, we place two points through which the line passes:

(x_ {1}, y_ {1}) :( 6,0)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}) :( 0, -3)

We found the slope:

m = \frac{y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}}

Substituting we have:

m = \frac {-3-0} {0-6} = \frac {-3} {- 6} = \frac {1} {2}

Thus, the equation is of the form:

y = \frac {1} {2} x + b

We substitute one of the points and find the cut-off point:

0 = \frac {1} {2} (6) + b\\0 = 3 + b\\-3 = b\\b = -3

Finally, the equation is:

y = \frac {1} {2} x-3

ANswer:

y = \frac {1} {2} x-3
