The point slope form of a line that has a slope of -2 and passes through point (5,-2) is shown below.

1 answer:

4 0

Insert the point, (5,-2) with the slope of the line to figure out the equation. You can either use point-slope form, or plug it for for slope-intercept form.

Slope-intercept form:
-2 = -2(5) + b
-2 = -10 + b
Add 10 on both sides
8 = b

Thus,

y = -2x + 8

Answer is B

A researcher decides to determine if the type of writing utensil that a student uses while doing their math affects their accura

alexandr1967 [171]

Since the variable type of writing utensil assumes labels and not numbers, it is classified as qualitative.

<h3>What are qualitative and quantitative variables?</h3>

Qualitative variables: Assumes labels or ranks.

Quantitative variables: Assume numerical values.

In this problem, the type of writing utensil has 4 labels: regular pencil, mechanical pencil, pen, whatever.

Hence, since the variable assumes labels and not numbers, it is classified as qualitative.

The area of a rectangular patio is (12x - 4) square units. What are possible dimensions of the patio?

MAVERICK [17]

You need two terms that multiply to (12x-4). The term on the outside needs to be a common multiple of 12 and 4. The common factors are 1, 2, and 4. Here are the following possible dimensions:
1(12x-4)
2(6x-2)
4(3x-1)
Hope this helps.

Serjik [45]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of mice that will test positive under similar conditions is (0.5291, 0.6429).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence interval $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

Z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

For this problem, we have that:

In a collection of experiments under the same conditions, 44 of 75 mice test positive for lymphadenopathy. This means that $n = 75$ and $\pi = \frac{44}{75} = 0.586$ .

Compute a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of mice that will test positive under similar conditions.

So $\alpha = 0.05$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975$ , so $Z = 1.96$ .

The lower limit of this interval is:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.586 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.586*0.414}{75}} = 0.5291$

The upper limit of this interval is:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.586 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.586*0.414}{75}} = 0.6429$

The 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of mice that will test positive under similar conditions is (0.5291, 0.6429).
