Answer:

3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are given an x-intercept, the y value will always be 0.

When you are given a y-intercept, the x value will always be 0.

With the intercepts we are given, we can make two points we can solve for the slope with.

(5, 0)

(0, -3)

Now, find the slope with the formula [ y2-y1/x2-x1 ]

-3-0/0-5

-3/-5

3/5 or 0.6

Best of Luck!

bulgar [2K]

We need to find out how many adults must the brand manager survey in order to be 90% confident that his estimate is within five percentage points of the true population percentage.

From the given data we know that our confidence level is 90%. From Standard Normal Table we know that the critical level at 90% confidence level is 1.645. In other words, $Z_{Critical}=1.645$ .

We also know that E=5% or E=0.05

Also, since, $\hat{p}$ is not given, we will assume that $\hat{p}$ =0.5. This is because, the formula that we use will have $\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})$ in the expression and that will be maximum only when $\hat{p}$ =0.5. (For any other value of $\hat{p}$ , we will get a value less than 0.25. For example if, $\hat{p}$ is 0.4, then $1-\hat{p}=0.6$ and thus, $\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})=0.24$ .).
