Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation of a Line</u>

Suppose we know the line passes through points A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2). The slope can be calculated with the equation:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

The point-slope form of the equation of a line is:

y - k = m ( x - h )

Where m is the slope and (h,k) is a point through which the line passes.

We are given the following values of the function: f(-1)=-3 and f(2)=6. The points are (-1,-3) and (2,6). The slope is:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{6+3}{2+1}=\frac{9}{3}=3$

Now find the equation of the line using the second point:

y - 6 = 3 ( x - 2 )

Operating:

y - 6 = 3x - 6

Simplifying:

y = 3x

Answer:

There are 585 adults and children

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of adults be a, number of children be c and the number of seniors be a

Amount made per group;

adults; 52 * a = 52a

Children : 26 * c = 26c

Seniors = 20 * s = 20s

Adding all will give 20,490

52a + 20s + 26c = 20 490 ••••(i)

Now let us work with the ratios;

a : s = 6 : 1

a/s = 6/1

a = 6s •••••(ii)

Lastly;

a/c = 4/9

4c = 9a ••••(ii)

We want to get a + c

From the first equation , let’s substitute

52(6s) + 20s + 26c = 20,490

26c = 6.5 (4c)

but 4c = 9a; 6.5(9a)

But a = 6s

So we have; 6.5(9)(6s) = 351s

so we have;

312s + 351s + 20s = 20,490

683s = 20,490

s = 20490/683

s = 30

Recall;

a = 6s = 6 * 30 = 180

4c = 9a

4c = 9 * 180

c = (9 * 180)/4 = 405

So the total number of children and adult is a + c

405 + 180 = 585

Y = 2x - 8 3x - 2y = 13

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

{x,y} = {3,-2}

Step-by-step explanation:

// Solve equation [1] for the variable y

[1] y = 2x - 8

// Plug this in for variable y in equation [2]

[2] 3x - 2•(2x-8) = 13

[2] -x = -3

// Solve equation [2] for the variable x

[2] x = 3

// By now we know this much :

x = 3

y = 2x-8

// Use the x value to solve for y

y = 2(3)-8 = -2

Solution :

{x,y} = {3,-2}

SAT scores are normed so that, in any year, the mean of the verbal or math test should be 500 and the standard deviation 100. as

vovangra [49]

Answer:

a) $P(X>625)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{625-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{625-500}{100})=P(Z>1.25)$

$P(Z>1.25)=1-P(Z$

b) $P(400$

$P(-1$

c) $z=-0.842$

And if we solve for a we got

$a=500 -0.842*100=415.8$

So the value of height that separates the bottom 20% of data from the top 80% is 415.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the SAT scores of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(500,100)$

Where $\mu=500$ and $\sigma=100$

We are interested on this probability

$P(X>625)$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

$P(X>625)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{625-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{625-500}{100})=P(Z>1.25)$

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and with the normal standard table or excel:

$P(Z>1.25)=1-P(Z$

Part b

We are interested on this probability

$P(400$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

$P(400$

And we can find this probability with this difference:

$P(-1$

And in order to find these probabilities we can find tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.

$P(-1$

Part c

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

$P(X>a)=0.8$ (a)

$P(X$ (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.2 of the area on the left and 0.8 of the area on the right it's z=-0.842. On this case P(Z<-0.842)=0.2 and P(Z>-0.842)=0.8

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

$P(X$

$P(z$

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

$z=-0.842$

And if we solve for a we got

$a=500 -0.842*100=415.8$

So the value of height that separates the bottom 20% of data from the top 80% is 415.8.
