Answer:

One equation would be y= -1.5x +11

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's a table to show the coordinates

x: y:

8 -1

-------------------

-4 17

the x coor. 8 goes down by 12 to get to the next x coor. -4.

8-12= -4

the y coor. -1 goes up by 18 to get to the next y coor. 17.

-1+18= 17

therefore 18/-12 is -1.5 which can be your k in y=kx+b.

Check your answer.

-1.5*8= -12 but when you add 11, you get the y coor. -1

Do the same with the other x coor.

-4*-1.5= 6 + 11 =17

11 can be your b in the slope-intercept form equation.

One equation may be y = -1.5x +11

The curved surface area of a right circular cylinder of height 14 cm is 88 cm2. find the diameter of the base of the cylinder

White raven [17]

Answer:

2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

h = 14 cm

Curved surface area of a right circular cylinder = 88 cm²

2πrh = 88

$2 * \frac{22}{7}*r*14=88\\\\r = \frac{88*7}{2*22*14}\\\\ r =1 \\\\r = 1 cm$

Diameter = 2 * r = 2 * 1 = 2 cm

the volume of a rectangular prism can be found by the formula v = lwh where v is the volume, l is length, w is width and h is he

KonstantinChe [14]

V = lwh
48 = 8 x 2 x h = 16h
h = 48/16 = 3

height = 3 inches.

A genetics experiment involves a population of fruit flies consisting of 1 male named Bart and 3 females named Charlene, Diana,

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

(b) $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1 male named Bart (b)

3 females named Charlene(c), Diana(d), and Erin(e).

Since there is replacement, the possible samples are:

bb, bc, be, bd, cb, cc, cd, ce, db, dc, dd, de, eb, ec, ed, and ee.

Total Number of pairs = 16

Event of picking 2 males:bb

Event of 1 male:bc,cb,bd,db,be,eb

Event of picking 0 males:

cc, cd, ce, dc, dd, de, ec, ed, and ee.

$\begin{equation*} \begin{matrix}Proportion of males & Probability \\0 & 9/16 \\1 & 6/16 \\2 & 1/16 \end{matrix} \end{equation*}$

b. The mean of the sampling distribution

$\mu = (\frac{9}{16} X0 ) +(\frac{6}{16} X 1)+(\frac{1}{16} X 2) = \frac{8}{16} = \frac{1}{2}$

c. No; the proportion of males is $\frac{1}{4}$ while the mean is $\frac{1}{2}$ .

B. No, the sample mean is not equal to the population proportion of males. These values are not always equal, because proportion is an unbiased estimator.
