A simple random sample of eight high school students' ACT scores gave the following data: What is a point estimate for μ, the me

an test score for the population? a. A point estimate cannot be computed since the data for the whole population are not available. b. 235 c. 29.38 d. 4.84

Answer: c, is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample mean is the best point estimate for the population mean in a particular study.

Given data of scores: $\begin{array}{llllllll}27 & 30 & 20 & 29 & 28 & 36 & 34 & 31\end{array}$

Sample mean = $\frac{\text{Sum of values}}{\text{Number of values}}$

$=\frac{27+30+20+29+28+36+34+31}{8}\approx29.38$

Hence, a point estimate for μ, the mean test score for the population is 29.38

Thus , c. is the correct option.

Part 1: The equation of the line is $y=2x+1$

Part 2: The equation of the line in slope intercept form is $y=-3x-1$

Explanation:

Part 1: It is given that the point A is $(1,3)$ and the line B is $y=2 x-2$

To determine the line passing through the point A and parallel to line B, let us first determine the slope and y-intercept.

From the equation of line B, the slope is $m=2$

Substituting the point $(1,3)$ and $m=2$ in slope intercept form $y=mx+b$ , we have,

$3=2(1)+b$

$3=2+b$

$1=b$

Thus, the y-intercept is $b=1$

Let us substitute the values $m=2$ and $b=1$ in the slope intercept form $y=mx+b$ , we get,

$y=2x+1$

Thus, the equation of the line passing though point A and parallel to line B is $y=2x+1$

Part 2: The given two coordinates are $(-1,2)$ and $(1,-4)$

To determine the equation of line in slope intercept form, first we shall find the slope and y-intercept.

From the graph, we can see that the line touches the y-axis at -1.

Hence, the y-intercept is $b=-1$

The formula for slope is $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Substituting the coordinates $(-1,2)$ and $(1,-4)$ , we have,

$m=\frac{-4-2}{1+1} =\frac{-6}{2} =-3$

Thus, the slope is $m=-3$

Substituting the values $b=-1$ and $m=-3$ in the slope intercept formula $y=mx+b$ , we get,

$y=-3x-1$

Thus, the equation of the line in slope intercept form is $y=-3x-1$

Number not using given app = 71

Total number of students = 219

% = ?

Solution

P(~given app) = 71 / 219

P(~given app) = 0.324

% = 0.324 * 100 = 32.4%

Answer

32.4% do not use Given App
