Write the equation of the given line in slope intercept form (2,3) (8,6)

Dominik [7]

Answer:

y = 1/2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope:

6 - 3 / 8 - 2 = 3 / 6 = 1/2

start by putting it in point slope form and then simplify it to slope intercept form:

y - 3 = 1/2(x - 2)

y - 3 = 1/2x - 1

y = 1/2x + 2

In an exam, there is a problem that 60% of students know the correct answer. However, thereis 15% chance that a student picked t

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

0.231

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Probability of students that knew the correct answer be: P(A)

P(A) = 60% = 0.6

Let the Probability that the student picked the wrong answer even if he/she knows the right answer be: P(B)

P(B) = 15% =0.15

Let the Probability of the student that do not knew the correct answer Be P(C)

P(C) = 1 - P(A)

P(C) = 1 - 0.6

P(C) = 0.4

Let the Probability that the student does not know the right answer but guessed it correctly be: P(D)

P(D) = 25% = 0.25

Let the Probability that the student picked the right answer even if he/she knows the right answer be: P(E)

P(E) = 1 - P(B)

P(E) = 1 - 0.15

P(E) = 0.85

Probability that the student got the answer wrong = (0.60 X 0.15) + (0.40 X 0.75) = 0.39

P( Student knew answer given he answered wrong) = $\frac{P(Student knew answer) X P(Student answered wrong given he knew the answer}{0.39}$

= $\frac{0.6*0.15}{0.39}$

= $\frac{0.09}{0.39}$

= 0.23076923077

= 0.231

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer: 505

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the sample size n , if the prior estimate of the population proportion (p) is known:

$n= p(1-p)(\dfrac{z}{E})^2$ , where E= margin of error and z = Critical z-value.

Let p be the population proportion of crashes.

Prior sample size = 250

No. of people experience computer crashes = 75

Prior proportion of crashes $p=\dfrac{75}{250}=0.3$

E= 0.04

From z-table , the z-value corresponding to 95% confidence interval = z=1.96

Required sample size will be :

$n=0.3(1-0.3)(\dfrac{1.96}{0.04})^2$ (Substitute all the values in the above formula)

$n= (0.21)(49)^2= 0.21\times2401$

$n= 504.21\approx505$ (Rounded to the next integer.)

∴ Required sample size = 505
