A line that passes through (-1, 6) and the origin
zmey [24]

Answer: The equation is y = -6*x

Step-by-step explanation:

I suppose that we want to find the equation for a line that passes through the point (-1, 6) and the origin (remember that the origin is the point (0,0))

A general linear equation is written as:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

If this line passes through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), then the slope of the line is equal to:

a = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Now we know that our line passes through the points (0, 0) and (-1, 6), then the slope is:

a = (6 - 0)/(-1 - 0) = 6/-1 = -6

Then our equation is something like:

y = -6*x + b

To find the value of b we can use the fact that this line passes through the point (0, 0).

This means that when x = 0, y is also equal to zero.

If we replace these values in the equation we get:

0 = -6*0 + b

0 = b

Then our equation is:

y = -6*x

At a university, 12% of students smoke. Calculate the expected number of smokers in a random sample of 140 students from this un
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

a) The expected number of smokers in a random sample of 140 students from this university is 16.8 smokers.

b) No, it is unlikely that smoking habits and waking up early to go to the gym on Saturday are independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the expected numbers of smokers in a sample with size n=140 and proportion p=12%, we use the expected value of the binomial distribution:

E(x)=n\cdot p=140\cdot 0.12=16.8

The expected number of smokers in a random sample of 140 students from this university is 16.8 smokers.

If we take a sample at the opening of the gym, the sample is not expected to be representative of the population of the students. Most of the students that go to the gym usually have healthy habits, so the proportions of smokers is expected to be lower than the average of the university population.
