Find the equation of the linear function represented by the table below in slope-

Vsevolod [243]2 years ago

Answer:

y = -2x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

So to calculate the slope the equation is y1-y2/x1-x2. We substitute in two points, let's use (-3,1) as x1 and y1, and (1,-7) as x2 and y2. Put those points in the equation and you get -7-1/1-(-3), which is -2. Now you have y=-2x+b

To get b plug in a pair of points to the equations, say (1,-7). -7=-2(1)+b, solve that and you get b=-5.

So y=-2x-5.

Thickness measurements of ancient prehistoric Native American pot shards discovered in a Hopi village are approximately normally

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

a) 0.0869 = 8.69% probability that the thickness is less than 3.0 mm

b) 0.0668 = 6.68% probability that the thickness is more than 7.0 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using 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.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 4.9, \sigma = 1.4$

(a) the thickness is less than 3.0 mm

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 3.

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

$Z = \frac{3 - 4.9}{1.4}$

$Z = -1.36$

$Z = -1.36$ has a pvalue of 0.0869

0.0869 = 8.69% probability that the thickness is less than 3.0 mm

(b) the thickness is more than 7.0 mm

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 7. So

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

$Z = \frac{7 - 4.9}{1.4}$

$Z = 1.5$

$Z = 1.5$ has a pvalue of 0.9332

1 - 0.9332 = 0.0668

0.0668 = 6.68% probability that the thickness is more than 7.0 mm

Please help on this question

Paul [167]

Answer:

6912xy^8

Step-by-step explanation:

The 9th term is the next-to-last term, where the left term of the binomial is raised to the first power, the right term of the binomial is raised to the 8th power (9-1=8), and the multiplier is 9C8 = 9!/(8!·1!) = 9. This product is ...

9·(3x)^1·(-2y)^8 = 6912xy^8

Which of the following are important properties of the arithmetic mean? Check all that apply. Multiple select question. The mean

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

All of the values in the data are used in calculating the mean.

The sum of the deviations is zero.

There is only one mean for a set of data.

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

True statement about arithmetic mean

(a) False

The mean can be equal to, greater than or less than the median

(b) True

The arithmetic mean is the summation of all data divided by the number of data; hence, all values are included.

(c) True

All mean literally represent the distance of each value from the average; so, when each value used in calculating the mean is subtracted from the calculated mean, then the end result is 0. i.e. $\sum(x - \bar x) = 0$

(d) True

The mean value of a distribution is always 1 value. When more values are added to the existing values or some values are removed from the existing values, the mean value will change.

(e) False

Nominal data are not numerical or quantitative data; hence, the mean cannot be calculated.

The value of a house decreases at a steady rate of 20% each year. What is the total percentage loss (to the nearest integer) in

Westkost [7]

Answer: The total percentage loss would be 67%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Rate of decline each year = 20%

Number of years = 5

We need to find the total percentage loss in value of the house at the end of 5 years.

So, Total percentage loss would be

$1-(1-\dfrac{r}{100})^5\\\\=1-(1-\dfrac{20}{100})^5\\\\=1-(\dfrac{4}{5})^5\\\\=1-(0.8)^5\\\\=0.67\\\\\approx 67%$

Hence, the total percentage loss would be 67%.
