Answer:

y = - $\frac{3}{2}$ x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + b ( m is the slope and b the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 0) ← 2 points on the line

m = $\frac{0-6}{4-0}$ = $\frac{-6}{4}$ = - $\frac{3}{2}$

Since the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 6) ⇒ b = 6

y = - $\frac{3}{2}$ x + 6 ← equation of line

James invested $300 in a bank account that earns simple interest. He earns $24 at the end of 12 months. James invests $500 at th

NARA [144]

Answer: $40

Step-by-step explanation:

The key formula to use for this problem is the simple interest formula, which is $I=prt$ ; where I is the interest earned, p is the principal (initial) amount, r is the interest rate, and t is the amount of time that passes.

Since we know that both investments have the same interest rate, we can use the information from the first part of the problem to solve for the interest rate. Using algebra, we can rearrange the simple interest formula to solve for the interest rate: $r=I/pt$ . We know that our interest earned is $24 and our principal amount is $300. To make things easier, we'll also convert months to years, which is easy to do since we know that 12 months = 1 year. This gives us our value for the amount of time that passes. Now, all we have to do is plug in our values into the rearranged equation above.

We should now have: $r=\frac{24}{300*1}=0.08$

Now, to find the interest earned from the $500 investment, we just need to plug in our values from the second part of the problem, along with our calculated interest rate of 0.08, into the original formula of $I=prt$

This should result in $I=500*0.08*1=40$

Therefore, James will receive $40 on his $500 investment after 12 months.

Time spent using e-mail per session is normally distributed, with mu equals 11 minutes and sigma equals 3 minutes. Assume that

liq [111]

Answer:

a) 0.259

b) 0.297

c) 0.497

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, it is important to know 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 random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 11, \sigma = 3$

a. If you select a random sample of 25 sessions, what is the probability that the sample mean is between 10.8 and 11.2 minutes?

Here we have that $n = 25, s = \frac{3}{\sqrt{25}} = 0.6$

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 11.2 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 10.8.

X = 11.2

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

$Z = \frac{11.2 - 11}{0.6}$

$Z = 0.33$

$Z = 0.33$ has a pvalue of 0.6293.

X = 10.8

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

$Z = \frac{10.8 - 11}{0.6}$

$Z = -0.33$

$Z = -0.33$ has a pvalue of 0.3707.

0.6293 - 0.3707 = 0.2586

0.259 probability, rounded to three decimal places.

b. If you select a random sample of 25 sessions, what is the probability that the sample mean is between 10.5 and 11 minutes?

Subtraction of the pvalue of Z when X = 11 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 10.5. So

X = 11

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

$Z = \frac{11 - 11}{0.6}$

$Z = 0$

$Z = 0$ has a pvalue of 0.5.

X = 10.5

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

$Z = \frac{10.5 - 11}{0.6}$

$Z = -0.83$

$Z = -0.83$ has a pvalue of 0.2033.

0.5 - 0.2033 = 0.2967

0.297, rounded to three decimal places.

c. If you select a random sample of 100 sessions, what is the probability that the sample mean is between 10.8 and 11.2 minutes?

Here we have that $n = 100, s = \frac{3}{\sqrt{100}} = 0.3$

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 11.2 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 10.8.

X = 11.2

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

$Z = \frac{11.2 - 11}{0.3}$

$Z = 0.67$

$Z = 0.67$ has a pvalue of 0.7486.

X = 10.8

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

$Z = \frac{10.8 - 11}{0.3}$

$Z = -0.67$

$Z = -0.67$ has a pvalue of 0.2514.

0.7486 - 0.2514 = 0.4972

0.497, rounded to three decimal places.

Could someone help me with this?

natulia [17]

Distributive property was the first property used in STEP 1, where -4 was distributed to -3x+ 2 resulting in the equation in STEP 1. Next in STEP 2, commutative property of addition no matter how 12x and 6x are arranged, when you add them together the result will be the same.
*Take note that 12x and 6x are put together because they are like terms.

For Steps 3 and 4, you will see that the addition property of equality was used in STEP 3. To keep the equation equal, you will add the same number on both sides.

STEP 4 uses Division property of Equality. Like Step 3, to keep both sides of the equation equal, you must divide both sides with the same number. It keeps the statement true by doing so.

STEP 4 and 5 uses transitive property if you examine both as a whole.
Transitive property assumes that if a = b and b = c, then a = c

If 18/18 (a) = 1 (b), and x (c) = 18/18(a) then, x (c) = 1 (b).
