Answer:

The equation of the line that passes  through the point (2, -1) and has a slope of -3 will be:

  • y = -3x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

where

  • m is the slope
  • b is the y-intercept

Given

  • The point (2, -1)
  • Slope m = -3

substituting m = -3 and the point (2, -1) in the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

-1 = -3(2)+b

-1 = -6 + b

b = -1 + 6

b = 5

Thus, the y-intercept form of the line equation is b = 5

now substituting b = 5 and m = -3 in the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

y = -3x + 5

Thus, the equation of the line that passes  through the point (2, -1) and has a slope of -3 will be:

  • y = -3x + 5

The distribution of scores on the SAT is approximately normal with a mean of mu = 500 and a standard deviation of sigma = 100. F
ella [17]

Answer:

a. 2.28%

b. 30.85%

c. 628.16

d. 474.67

Step-by-step explanation:

For a given value x, the related z-score is computed as z = (x-500)/100.

a. The z-score related to 700 is (700-500)/100 = 2, and P(Z > 2) = 0.0228 (2.28%)

b. The z-score related to 550 is (550-500)/100 = 0.5, and P(Z > 0.5) = 0.3085 (30.85%)

c. We are looking for a value b such that P(Z > b) = 0.1, i.e., b is the 90th quantile of the standard normal distribution, so, b = 1.281552. Therefore, P((X-500)/100 > 1.281552) = 0.1, equivalently  P(X > 500 + 100(1.281552)) = 0.1 and the minimun SAT score needed to be in the highest 10% of the population is 628.1552

d. We are looking for a value c such that P(Z > c) = 0.6, i.e., c is the 40th quantile of the standard normal distribution, so, c = -0.2533471. Therefore, P((X-500)/100 > -0.2533471) = 0.6, equivalently P(X > 500 + 100(-0.2533471)), and the minimun SAT score needed to be accepted is 474.6653
