Answer:

y=-x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) = (1-8)/(7-0) = -7/7 = -1

Y-intercept = (0,8)

Therefore, the equation of the trend line is y=-x+8

Professor Lam is grading papers in the teachers' lounge. He has already finished grading 6 assignments, and is grading 4 more as

Delvig [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: If Professor Lam grades 4 papers per hour, in 11 hours he will graded 44 papers. (11 x 4= 44). He had previously graded 6 papers giving him a total of 50 papers graded. His assistant can grade 5 papers per hour, thus it would take him 10 hours to grade the same amount of papers as Professor Lam. (10 x 5= 50) Thus: 11 hours Professor Lam 50 papers graded; 10 hours his assistant 50 papers graded.

Consider the probability that greater than 96 out of 153 DVDs will work correctly. Assume the probability that a given DVD will

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

0.3594 = 35.94% probability that greater than 96 out of 153 DVDs will work correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .

In this problem, we have that:

$n = 153, p = 0.62$

$\mu = E(X) = np = 153*0.62 = 94.86$

$\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{153*0.62*0.38} = 6$

Probability that greater than 96 out of 153 DVDs will work correctly.

97 or more DVDs, which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 97. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{97 - 94.86}{6}$

$Z = 0.36$

$Z = 0.36$ has a pvalue of 0.6406

1 - 0.6406 = 0.3594

0.3594 = 35.94% probability that greater than 96 out of 153 DVDs will work correctly.

Maureen earned some money doing odd jobs last summer and put it in a savings account that earns 9% interest compounded quarterly

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Maureen earned $123.19 doing odd jobs

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound interest formula is given by:

$A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

Where A(t) is the amount of money after t years, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per unit year and t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.

In this question:

Compounded quarterly means that $n = 4$
