67. The line contains the point (4,0) and is parallel to the line defined by 3x = 2y.

olganol [36]

Answer:

$y=\frac{3}{2} x-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

What we need to know:

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form:

$y=mx+b$ where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)

Parallel lines will always have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

1) Determine the slope of the parallel line

Organize 3x = 2y into slope-intercept form. Why? So we can easily identify the slope, m.

$3x = 2y$

Switch the sides

$2y=3x$

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate y

$\frac{2y}{2} = \frac{3}{2} x\\y=\frac{3}{2} x$

Now that this equation is in slope-intercept form, we can easily identify that $\frac{3}{2}$ is in the place of m. Therefore, because parallel lines have the same slope, the parallel line we're solving for now will also have the slope $\frac{3}{2}$ . Plug this into $y=mx+b$ :

$y=\frac{3}{2} x+b$

2) Determine the y-intercept

$y=\frac{3}{2} x+b$

Plug in the given point, (4,0)

$0=\frac{3}{2} (4)+b\\0=6+b$

Subtract both sides by 6

$0-6=6+b-6\\-6=b$

Therefore, -6 is the y-intercept of the line. Plug this into $y=\frac{3}{2} x+b$ as b:

$y=\frac{3}{2} x-6$

I hope this helps!

Shawn earned $2.77 per day for three days as interest on his $1,000.00 investment. What percent interest did he earn in total? G

Nady [450]

Answer: He earned 0.831% interest in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Shawn earned $2.77 per day for three days as interest on his $1,000.00 investment.

Interest per day = $2.77

Interest in 3 days = 3 x ($2.77)

= $8.31

Invested amount= $1000

Required percentage of earnings = $\dfrac{\text{Interest earned in 3 days}}{\text{Initial investment}}\times100$

$=\dfrac{8.31}{1000}\times100=0.831\%$

Hence, he earned 0.831% interest in total.

According to a study done by Wakefield Research, the proportion of Americans who can order a meal in a foreign language is 0.47.

UNO [17]

Answer:

Probability that the proportion of Americans who can order a meal in a foreign language is greater than 0.5 is 0.19766.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that according to a study done by Wake field Research, the proportion of Americans who can order a meal in a foreign language is 0.47.

Suppose a random sample of 200 Americans is asked to disclose whether they can order a meal in a foreign language.

Let $\hat p$ = sample proportion of Americans who can order a meal in a foreign language

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

Z = $\frac{ \hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p$ = sample proportion

p = population proportion of Americans who can order a meal in a foreign language = 0.47

n = sample of Americans = 200

Probability that the proportion of Americans who can order a meal in a foreign language is greater than 0.5 is given by = P( $\hat p$ > 0.50)

P( $\hat p$ > 0.06) = P( $\frac{ \hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ > $\frac{0.5-0.47}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{200} } }$ ) = P(Z > 0.85) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 0.85)

= 1 - 0.80234 = 0.19766

Now, in the z table the P(Z $\leq$ x) or P(Z < x) is given. So, the above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.85 in the z table which has an area of 0.80234.

Therefore, probability that the proportion of Americans who can order a meal in a foreign language is greater than 0.5 is 0.19766.
