Answer:

B. y=-9x-10

Step-by-step explanation:

The dolphin is starting 10 feet below sea level so the y-intercept (or b in slope-intercept form) would be negative 10. Diving means going down, or a negative slope, so the slope would be -9. When you plug those numbers into y=mx+b, you would get y=-9x-10.

A random sample of 40 binomial trials resulted in 14 successes. test the claim that the population proportion of successes does
mylen [45]

Using the z-distribution, since the p-value of the test is of 0.057 > 0.05, there is not enough evidence that the population proportion of successes does not equal 0.50.

<h3>What are the hypotheses tested?</h3>

At the null hypotheses, we test if the proportion of successes equals 0.5, hence:

H_0: p = 0.5

At the alternative hypotheses, we test if it does not equal, hence:

H_1: p \neq 0.5

<h3>What is the test statistic?</h3>

The test statistic is given by:

z = \frac{\overline{p} - p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}

In which:

  • \overline{p} is the sample proportion.
  • p is the proportion tested at the null hypothesis.
  • n is the sample size.

For this problem, the parameters are given by:

n = 40, \overline{p} = \frac{14}{40} = 0.35, p = 0.5

Hence the test statistic is given by:

z = \frac{\overline{p} - p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}

z = (0.35 - 0.5)/(0.5/sqrt(40))

z = -1.9.

<h3>What is the decision?</h3>

Using a z-distribution calculator, considering a two-tailed test, as we are testing if the proportion is different of a value, with z = -1.9, we get that the p-value of the test is of 0.057.

Since the p-value of the test is of 0.057 > 0.05, there is not enough evidence that the population proportion of successes does not equal 0.50.

Solve for y : 3x+5y=10
OLEGan [10]
3x + 5y = 10 Subtract 3x from both sides. 5y = -3x + 10 Divide both sides by 5. y = -3/5x + 2
