Answer:

7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line going through (2,3) and (-2,-4) can be found by:

A) Lining up points

B) Subtracting the numbers vertically

C) Answer: Putting 2nd difference over 1st difference (yes a fraction)

Let's do it!

( 2 , 3)

-( -2 , -4)

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

4 7

So the slope is 7/4

For this case we have that by definition, the slope of a line is given by:

$m = \frac {y2-y1} {x2-x1}$

We have as data the following points:

$(x1, y1) = (2,3)\\(x2, y2) = (- 2, -4)$

Substituting in the formula we have:

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

Equal signs are added and the same sign is placed:

$m = \frac {-7} {- 4}\\m = \frac {7} {4}$

Answer:

$m = \frac {7} {4}$

A statistician selected a sample of 16 accounts receivable and determined the mean of the sample to be $5,000 with a standard de

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The confidence level that was used is 0.25% .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that mean of the selected sample of 16 accounts is $5,000 and a standard deviation of $400.

It has also been reported that the sample information indicated the mean of the population ranges from $4,739.80 to $5,260.20. This represents the Confidence Interval for population mean.

But we have to find that at what confidence level this information about range of population men has been stated.

Since we know that Confidence Interval for population mean is given by :

C.I. for population mean = Sample mean(xbar)  $\pm$  z value *  $\frac{Standard deviation}{\sqrt{n} }$ 

i.e.,if we have 95% C.I. = xbar $\pm$ 1.96 * $\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$ .

So, our Confidence Interval for population is written as :

[$4,739.80 , $5,260.20] = $5000 $\pm$ z value * $\frac{400}{\sqrt{16} }$

$5000 - z value * 100 = $4739.80 { Solving these we get Z value = 2.602}

$5000 + z value * 100 = $5260.20

In z table we find that at value of 2.60 the probability is 0.99534 so subtracting this from 1 we get confidence level for one tail i.e.0.5%(approx).

Therefore, for two tail Confidence level will be 0.5%/2 = 0.25% .

Which relation represents f(x) = 2x - 5?

goblinko [34]

Answer:

{(0,-5), (1, -3), (2, -1), (3, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you plug in 1 for x you get f(x)=2(1)-5 which equals 2-5=-3

You would repeat these steps just going up by one number every time

Collected 20 cans this week, 25 cans next week what is the percent of increase

BartSMP [9]

Hello!!

25 - 20 = 5

5/20 = 0.25

0.25 * 100 = 25%

Good luck :)

Otrada [13]

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a candy manufacturer is interested in the distribution of colors in each of its packages of candy sold. The manufacturer randomly sample packages from multiple batches at one factory.

Because he resorts to only one factory, there may be bias in the sample. Other factories may have different processes of the settings and also if a diversified sample is taken then it is likely to represent the whole population, and hence results would be more accurate

Option A is incorrect since only one factory was done

C and D are not selected because one factory result cannot be generalised to all other factors in the same country or outside.

So answer would be

B) No, because the other factories may have different processes or the settings
