Answer:

y=3x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

insert the first point into y=mx+b

3=2m+b

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

Do it again with the other point

6=3m+b

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

Now put both equations in a system of equations

3=2m+b

6=3m+b

solve for m and b

m=3 and b=-3

y=3x-3

m=slope

b=y-intercept

Write the standard form of the line that passes through the point (-2, 4) and is parallel to x - 2y = 6.

Radda [10]

First calculate the function of x-2y=6:
x-2y=6 | - x
-2y=6-x | ÷ (-2)
y=0.5x-3

Now you have the function. Because the slope you search is parallel to this one, the slope is the same (in this case 0.5). A slope of 0.5 means for 2 steps to the right go one up. To define the function you are searching you have to find out the y intercept. For this take your point (-2|4). Now go as many steps to the right until you reach the y intercept or x=0 in this case you need 2 steps. So for 2 steps right you go one up. Now you have the y intercept (5).
The resulting function is: f(x) = 0.5+6.

rewona [7]

Answer:

The mean of the sampling distribution of x is 0.5 and the standard deviation is 0.083.

Step-by-step explanation:

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 $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
