Let X be the answers all 48 questions on a multiple-choice test by guessing. 

<span>p = 1/4 </span>

<span>q = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4 </span>

<span>n = 48 </span>

<span>μx = n*p = 48*(1/4) = 12 </span>

<span>σx = sqrt(n*p*q) = sqrt(4/*(1/4)*(3/4)) = 0.8660254038 </span>

<span>P(X = 15) = P(X ≤ 16) - P(X ≤ 14) = P((X - 12)/0.8660254038 ≤ (16 - 12)/0.8660254038) - P((X - 12)/0.8660254038 ≤ (14 - 12)/0.8660254038) = P(Z ≤ 4.62) - P(Z ≤ 2.31) = 1 - 0.9896 = 0.0104 </span>

<span>You could use the binomial distribution: </span>

<span>P(X = 15) = 0.07670882173 </span>

<span>(48) </span>
<span>(15)*((1/4)^15)*(3/4)^33 = 0.07670882173</span>

In a simple regression analysis (where y is a dependent and x an independent variable), if the y-intercept is positive, then it
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}  

Where:  

S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}  

S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}  

\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}  

\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}  

And we can find the intercept using this:  

b=\bar y -m \bar x  

On this case the correct answer would be:

E.  none of the above

Since the intercept has no association between the increase/decrease of the dependent variable respect to the independent variable

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the following options:

A.  there is a positive correlation between X and Y

B.  there is a negative correlation between X and Y

C.  if X is increased, Y must also increase

D.  if Y is increased, X must also increase

E.  none of the above

If we want a model y = mx +b where m represent the lope and b the intercept

m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}  

Where:  

S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}  

S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}  

\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}  

\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}  

And we can find the intercept using this:  

b=\bar y -m \bar x  

On this case the correct answer would be:

E.  none of the above

Since the intercept has no association between the increase/decrease of the dependent variable respect to the independent variable

What is this answer? I have no idea. pls help :( will give brainliest
Artist 52 [7]
The answer is B.

Negative numbers are to the far left if you were using a number line, so -1 to the 3rd power is -1. Everything else is positive. 1/4 is the same as 0.25 which is less than positive 1, positive 8.8 is next and the last would be -5 to the 2nd power which is 25.

A salesperson’s commission rate is 4%. What is the commission from the sale of $39,000 worth of furnaces? Suppose sales would do
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The earnings will double

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

we are told that the sales person's earnings is 4% of the sales made.

given that the sales made is $37,000 worth of furnaces.

Step two:

we want to find 4% of $37,000

=4/100*37000

=0.04*37000

=1480

hence for $37,000 the earning will be $1480.

Now suppose sales is doubled that is 37000*2= 74000

we want to find 4% of $74,000

=4/100*74000

=0.04*74000

=2960.

the earnings is $2960.

So if sales doubles the earnings will double

Point P is located at (–3, –2). P is reflected across the x-axis to create P'. What quadrant is P' in?
Eva8 [605]
Look at the axis graph. If both of the coordinates are negative, it would be in quadrant lll. If you go over to the x-axis, you would be in quadrant lV, or 4.

(-2,-3) -> (2,-3)

You change the x-factor's sign. 

I hope this helps!
