Check the picture below.
the slope goes by several names
• average rate of change
• rate of change
• deltaY over deltaX
• Δy over Δx
• rise over run
• gradient
• constant of proportionality
however, is the same cat wearing different costumes.
well, by the definition of a derivative, the slope at the point is f'(a), and any tangent line going through it will also have the same exact slope, keeping in mind that a straight line has a constant slope.
Answer:
100
Step-by-step explanation:
First we find the mean of this set of data. We find the mean by finding the sum of data values and dividing it by the number of data values:
5+10+10+10+10+10+10+15 = 80
There are 8 data values; 80/8 = 10. The mean is 10.
To find the standard deviation, subtract the mean from each value; square the difference; add the squares; divide by the number of data values; and take the square root:
5-10 = -5; 10-10 = 0; 10-10 = 0; 10-10 = 0; 10-10 = 0; 10-10 = 0; 10-10 = 0; 15-10 = 5
(-5)^2 = 25; 0^2 = 0; 0^2 = 0; 0^2 = 0; 0^2 = 0; 0^2 = 0; 0^2 = 0; 5^2 = 25
25+0+0+0+0+0+0+25 = 50
50/8 = 6.25
√6.25 = 2.5
The standard deviation is 2.5.
This means two standard deviations, or 2σ, is 2(2.5) = 5.
This gives us μ-2σ = 10-5 = 5 and μ+2σ = 10+5 = 15.
Since all of our data is between 5 and 15, 100% is within two standard deviations of the mean.
I agree. The answer is choice A.
There is a downward trend going on. As x gets larger, y seems to be getting smaller. Though we have a weak correlation because the points aren't all close to the same straight line. They seem to be randomly scattered.
Note: if we ignore the outlier, then the correlation gets a bit stronger, but not much so.
Answer:
a) Experts estimate that about 68 percent of the world's population has lactose malabsorption. Lactose malabsorption is more common in some parts of the world than in others.
b) In the United States (ignoring other groups and people who consider themselves to belong to more than one race), 82% of the population is white, 14% is black, and 4% is Asian. Moreover, 15% of whites, 70% of blacks, and 90% of Asians are lactose intolerant.
Standard form : Ax + By = C
y + 4 = -9/10(x + 6)
y + 4 = -9/10x - 54/10
9/10x + y = -54/10 - 4
9/10x + y = -54/10 - 40/10
9/10x + y = - 94/10
9x + 10y = -94
