Answer:

y=5/3x+7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the points: (1,4) and (-2, -1)

let's first find the slope, which is with the equation m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) (m is the slope)

label the points:

x1=1

y1=4

x2=-2

y2=-1

now subsitute into the equation

m=(-1-4)/(-2-1)

m=-5/-3

m=5/3

the slope of the line 5/3

Here's the equation so far:

y=5/3x+b (b is a place holder)

we can substitute either one of the points into the equation so far to find b, because the line will pass through both of them>

let's use (1,4) as an example

4=5/3(1)+b

4=5/3+b

subtract 5/3 from both sides

7/3=b

Now, put it all together:

y=5/3x+7/3

Hope this helps!

Readme [11.4K]

Tables are created by substitute a set of input values into the function to create outputs. The required table is as shown below

x | y

2 -2

<h3>Tables and values</h3>

Tables are created by substitute a set of input values into the function to create outputs

Using x = 0, 1 and 2 as the input values

Given the function

y = 1/2x - 3

If x = 0

y = 1/2(0) - 3

y = -3

If x = 1

y = 1/2(1) - 3

y = -2.5

If x = 2

y = 1/2(2) - 3

y = -2

Hence the required table is as shown below

x | y

0 -3

1 -2.5

2 -2

According to a Yale program on climate change communication survey, 71% of Americans think global warming is happening.† (a) For

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

a) 0.2741 = 27.41% probability that at least 13 believe global warming is occurring

b) 0.7611 = 76.11% probability that at least 110 believe global warming is occurring

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .
