Answer:

y = -3x - 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Given: y - 2 = -3(x + 6)

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

To write the equation in slope-intercept form, we need to know the slope(m) and the y-intercept(b). By looking at the given equation, we can see that the slope is -3. We are also given the value of one point: (-6, 2).

To find the y-intercept, input the given values of the slope and the point into the equation format and solve for b:

y = mx + b

2 = -3(-6) + b

2 = 18 + b

Subtract 18 from both sides of the equation to isolate b:

2 - 18 = 18 - 18 + b

-16 = b

The y-intercept is -16.

Now that we know the slope and the y-intercept, we can write the equation:

y = -3x - 16

A half-century ago, the mean height of women in a particular country in their 20s was 64.7 inches. Assume that the heights of

Ainat [17]

Answer:

99.5% of all samples of 21 of today's women in their 20's have mean heights of at least 65.86 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a half-century ago, the mean height of women in a particular country in their 20's was 64.7 inches. Assume that the heights of today's women in their 20's are approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 2.07 inches.

Also, a samples of 21 of today's women in their 20's have been taken.

Let $\bar X$ = sample mean heights

The z-score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

Z = $\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean height of women = 64.7 inches

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 2.07 inches

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) 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.

Now, Probability that the sample of 21 of today's women in their 20's have mean heights of at least 65.86 inches is given by = P( $\bar X$ $\geq$ 65.86 inches)

P( $\bar X$ $\geq$ 65.86 inches) = P( $\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ $\geq$ $\frac{65.86-64.7}{\frac{2.07}{\sqrt{21} } }$ ) = P(Z $\geq$ -2.57) = P(Z $\leq$ 2.57)
