Standard equation is. y=mx + b
Sub in point (9,8) and -1/2 for m to find b

8=-1/2(9) + b
8+ 4.5 = b
12.5 = b

Therefore
y = -1/2x + 12.5

Plz help i do not understand the question.

The question is asking you to come up with a real-life example of something that can be represented as 15+ c= 17.50. If I were you I would do sales tax. You bought an item with a 15 dollar price tag, but when you go to check out 2.50 are added in tax to equal 17.50. to solve subtract 15 from 17.50: c= 2.50. Your variable (c) represents the sales tax. Hope that helps! :)

Answer:

other: $\frac{41}{56}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{7}{8} =\frac{1}{7} + x\\=> x= \frac{7}{8} - \frac{1}{7} \\=> x= \frac{49}{56} - \frac{8}{56} \\=> x= \frac{41}{56}$

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

The confidence interval is $25.16 < \mu < 26.85$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are given a data set

25.5, 26.1, 26.8, 23.2, 24.2, 28.4, 25.0, 27.8, 27.3, and 25.7.

The mean of the this sample data is

$\= x = \frac{\sum x_i}{n}$

where is the sample size with values n = 10

$\= x = \frac{25.5+ 26.1+ 26.8+23.2+ 24.2+ 28.4+ 25.0+ 27.8+ 27.3+ 25.7}{10}$

$\= x = 26$

The standard deviation is evaluated as

$\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x-\= x)}{n} }$

substituting values

$= \sqrt{\frac{ ( 25.5-26)^2, (26.1-26)^2, (26.8-26)^2, (23.2-26)^2}{10} }$

$\cdot \ \cdot \ \cdot \sqrt{\frac{ ( 24.2-26)^2, (28.4-26)^2+( 25.0-26)^2+ (27.8-26)^2+( 27.3-26)^2+( 25.7-26)^2}{10} }$

$\sigma = 1.625$

The confidence level is given as 90% hence the level of significance is calculated as

$\alpha = 100 -90$

$\alpha =10$ %

$\alpha = 0.10$

Now the critical values of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ is obtained from the normal distribution table as

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.645$

The reason we are obtaining the critical values of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ instead of $\alpha$ is because we are considering two tails of the area under the normal curve
