Answer: You are incorrect, the slope is correct, but the actual y-intercept is 205 ft.

Then the equation is:

y = (-15 ft/min)*x + 205 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, let's solve this.

We know that water is drained from a reservoir, let's assume that we can model this situation with a linear relation:

y = a*x + b

Where x is time, y is the height of the water in the reservoir, a is the slope (in this case represents how much changes the height of the water in the reservoir in one unit of time) and b is the initial height of the water in the reservoir.

We know that for a line that passes through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) the slope is:

a = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

For this particular case we know that after 2 minutes the height of the water is 175 ft, then we have the point (2 min, 175 ft)

and after 5 minutes (so 7 minutes in total), the height of the water is 100ft, then: (7 ft, 100ft)

Then the slope of this:

a = (100 ft - 175 ft)/(7 min - 2 min) = (-75ft/5min) = - 15 ft/min

Then our line is something like:

y = (-15ft/min)*x + b

To find the value of b, we can use the fact that when x = 2 min, y = 175 ft

So if we replace these two values in the equation we get:

175ft = (-15 ft/min)*2 min + b

175 ft = -30 ft + b

175 ft + 30 ft = b                  

(here is your problem, it seems like you subtracted instead of adding in this part)

205 ft = b

Then the equation is:

y = (-15 ft/min)*x + 205 ft

So you are incorrect (but only for a little bit), you computed wrong the y-intercept.

(1 point) A recent report for a regional airline reported that the mean number of hours of flying time for its pilots is 56 hour
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

(53.812 ; 58.188) ; 156

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Sample size (n) = 51

Mean (m) = 56

Standard deviation (σ) = 9.5

α = 90%

Using the relation :

Confidence interval = mean ± Error

Error = Zcritical * (standard deviation / sqrt (n))

Zcritical at 90% = 1.645

Error = 1.645 * (9.5 / sqrt(51))

Error = 1.645 * 1.3302660

Error = 2.1882877

Hence,

Confidence interval :

Lower boundary = 56 - 2.1882877 = 53.8117123

Upper boundary = 56 + 2.1882877 = 58.1882877

Confidence interval = (53.812 ; 58.188)

2.)

Margin of Error (ME) = 1.25

α = 90%

Sample size = ((Zcritical * σ) / ME)^2

Zcritical at 90% = 1.645

Sample size = ((1.645 * 9.5) / 1.25)^2

Sample size = (15.6275 / 1.25)^2

Sample size = 12.502^2 = 156.3000

Sample size = 156
