Answer:

To Find the slope of a data table, you first need to plot two points on the line. It is easiest if the points are on a coordinate with whole numbers (i.e. (3,6 and (4,8)). Once you have plotted two pints, you then need to take the value of the point with the largest x value, and subtract the other points from it (i.e. (4,8)-(3,6)=(1,2). Then, take the new y value, and divide it by the new y-value (i.e. (2/1), and you have your slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

plot points (3,6), (4,8)

subtract points (4,8)-(3,6)=(1,2)

divide new points 2/1

Answer:

Pick two points on the line and determine their coordinates. Determine the difference in y-coordinates of these two points (rise). Determine the difference in x-coordinates for these two points (run). Divide the difference in y-coordinates by the difference in x-coordinates (rise/run or slope).

How to calculate standard deviation given mean and sample size?

ad-work [718]

In addition to mean and sample size you will need the individual scores.

The formula for standard deviation is:

S^2 = E(X-M)^2/N-1

Here's an example:
Data set: 4,4,3,1
Mean: 3
Sample size: 4

First, put the individual scores one after the other and subtract the mean from it.
4 - 3 = 1
4 - 3 = 1
3 - 3 = 0
1 - 3 = -2

Second, square the answers you got from step 1.
1^2 = 1
1^2 = 1
0^2 = 0
-2^2 = 4
Third, plug the values from step 2 into the formula.

S^2 = (1+1+0+4)/(4-1) = 6/3 = 2

Standard deviation = 2

X-4y-8=6/8+-8y-2y 5y-3(6-7/8)=5x-4y+3

Ivan

First simplify

x-4y-8=3/4-10y
add 10y both sides and add 8
x+6y=8+3/4
times 4 both sides
4x+24y=32+3
4x+24y=35

5y-3(6-7/8)=5x-4y+3
add 4y both sides
9y-3(6-7/8)=5x+3
distribute
9y-18+21/8=5x+3
minus 5x both sides
9y-5x-18+21/8=3
add 18 to both sides and minus 21/8 both sides
9y-5x=21-21/8
times 8 both sides
72y-40x=147
72y-40x=147

so we got

24y+4x=35
72y-40x=147

multiply first equation by -3 and add to 2nd

-72y-12x=-105
72y-40x=147 +
0y-52x=42

-52x=42
divide both sides by -52
x=-21/26
sub back

24y+4x=35
24y+4(-21/26)=35
using math
y=497/312

the solution is
$( \frac{-21}{26}, \frac{497}{312} )$
