Answer:

The answer is

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

To find the equation of the parallel line we must first find the slope of the original line

The original line is 2x + y = 1

We must first write the equation in the general form above

That's

y = - 2x + 1

Comparing with the general equation above

Slope = - 2

Since the lines are parallel their slope are also the same

Slope of parallel line = - 2

So the equation of the line using point

( - 1 , 4) and slope - 2 is

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Legend has it that a bull sasquatch in rut will howl approximately 9 times per hour when it is 40°f outside and only 5 times per

ahrayia [7]

The answer is 13.

To solve this question, you need to determine the slope of the function. if howl is y and the temperature is x of the graph, the slope would be:

9-5/(40-70)= 4/-30= -2/15

Using one of the point and the slope, you can find the number of howl

-2/15= 9-y/40-(-20)

9-y= -2/15 * 60

9-y= -4

y= 9+4= 13

The mean rent of a 3-bedroom apartment in Orlando is $1300. You randomly select 10 apartments around town. The rents are normall

lana [24]

Answer:

96.49% probability that the mean rent is more than $1100

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
