Describe and correct the error a student made when graphing y+5=-3/4(x-8).

1 answer:

8 0

In step 1 the y-intercept should be plotted at (0,-6)
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember that to find the Y intercept in any linear equation you need to use 0 as your X value, this means taking the formula in the y=mx+b form and replacing X with a 0.
Since the formula is y = -3/4x -6
We just insert a 0 insted of the "x"
y = -3/4(0) -6
y=0-6
y=6
So the y-intercept sould be placed in (0,-6)
That's what he did wrong when graphing the equation.

Answer: Sample size would be 296.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Standard deviation = 4.8 hours

Margin of error = 0.65 hours

At 98% level of confidence, z = 2.33

So, It becomes,

$0.65=z\times \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\0.65=2.33\times \dfrac{4.8}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\\dfrac{2.33\times 4.8}{0.65}=\sqrt{n}\\\\n=(\dfrac{11.184}{0.65})^2\\\\n=17.206^2\\\\n=296.051$
