67. The line contains the point (4,0) and is parallel to the line defined by 3x = 2y.

olganol [36]

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

What we need to know:

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form:

$y=mx+b$ where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)

Parallel lines will always have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

1) Determine the slope of the parallel line

Organize 3x = 2y into slope-intercept form. Why? So we can easily identify the slope, m.

$3x = 2y$

Switch the sides

$2y=3x$

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate y

$\frac{2y}{2} = \frac{3}{2} x\\y=\frac{3}{2} x$

Now that this equation is in slope-intercept form, we can easily identify that $\frac{3}{2}$ is in the place of m. Therefore, because parallel lines have the same slope, the parallel line we're solving for now will also have the slope $\frac{3}{2}$ . Plug this into $y=mx+b$ :

$y=\frac{3}{2} x+b$

2) Determine the y-intercept

$y=\frac{3}{2} x+b$

Plug in the given point, (4,0)

$0=\frac{3}{2} (4)+b\\0=6+b$

Subtract both sides by 6

$0-6=6+b-6\\-6=b$

Therefore, -6 is the y-intercept of the line. Plug this into $y=\frac{3}{2} x+b$ as b:

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

I hope this helps!

A migrating bird flies 700 miles in 1414 hours. How many miles does it fly in 33 hours

Lisa [10]

In 1414 hours it covered 700 miles

In 1 hour it would have covered (700/1414) mile

In 33 hours it will then cover : 700/1414 * 33 = 16.34

So in 33 hours it will cover ≈ 16.34 miles.

The head of maintenance at XYZ Rent-A-Car believes that the mean number of miles between services is 3639 3639 miles, with a var

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

96.6% probability that the mean of a sample would differ from the population mean by less than 126 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

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

A reminder is that the standard deviation is the square root of the variance.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use 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 $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this question:

$\mu = 3639, \sigma = \sqrt{145161} = 381, n = 41, s = \frac{381}{\sqrt{41}} = 59.5$

Probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 126 miles

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 3639 + 126 = 3765 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 3639 - 126 = 3513. So

X = 3765

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

$Z = \frac{3765 - 3639}{59.5}$

$Z = 2.12$

$Z = 2.12$ has a pvalue of 0.983

X = 3513

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

$Z = \frac{3513 - 3639}{59.5}$

$Z = -2.12$

$Z = -2.12$ has a pvalue of 0.017

0.983 - 0.017 = 0.966

96.6% probability that the mean of a sample would differ from the population mean by less than 126 miles
