Find an expression which represents the difference when (-4x-2) is subtracted from (-8x+3) in the simplest terms.

With a slope of m = -2 and a point being (5,-2) what’s the Y-intercept?

almond37 [142]

Answer:

c = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Slope, m = -2

Points (x, y) = (5, -2)

To find the intercept, c;

Equation of a straight line is given by the formula: y = mx + c

Where;

m is the slope.

x and y are the points

c is the intercept.

Substituting the values in order to find the intercept, we have;

-2 = -2(5) + c

-2 = -10 + c

c = 10 - 2

c = 8

Therefore, the y-intercept is 8.

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

(a) X ~ N( $\mu=63, \sigma^{2} = 13^{2}$ ).

$\bar X$ ~ N( $\mu=63,s^{2} = (\frac{13}{\sqrt{43} } )^{2}$ ).

(b) If a single randomly selected individual is observed, the probability that this person consumes is between 61.4 mL and 62.8 mL is 0.0398.

(c) For the group of 43 pancake eaters, the probability that the average amount of syrup is between 61.4 mL and 62.8 mL is 0.2512.

(d) Yes, for part (d), the assumption that the distribution is normally distributed necessary.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the amount of syrup that people put on their pancakes is normally distributed with mean 63 mL and a standard deviation of 13 mL.

Suppose that 43 randomly selected people are observed pouring syrup on their pancakes.

(a) Let X = amount of syrup that people put on their pancakes

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

Z = $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = mean amount of syrup = 63 mL

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 13 mL

So, the distribution of X ~ N( $\mu=63, \sigma^{2} = 13^{2}$ ).

Let $\bar X$ = sample mean amount of syrup that people put on their pancakes

The z-score probability distribution for the sample mean is given by;

Z = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = mean amount of syrup = 63 mL

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 13 mL

n = sample of people = 43

So, the distribution of $\bar X$ ~ N( $\mu=63,s^{2} = (\frac{13}{\sqrt{43} } )^{2}$ ).

(b) If a single randomly selected individual is observed, the probability that this person consumes is between 61.4 mL and 62.8 mL is given by = P(61.4 mL < X < 62.8 mL)

P(61.4 mL < X < 62.8 mL) = P(X < 62.8 mL) - P(X $\leq$ 61.4 mL)

P(X < 62.8 mL) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{62.8-63}{13}$ ) = P(Z < -0.02) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 0.02)

= 1 - 0.50798 = 0.49202

P(X $\leq$ 61.4 mL) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ $\leq$ $\frac{61.4-63}{13}$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ -0.12) = 1 - P(Z < 0.12)

= 1 - 0.54776 = 0.45224

Therefore, P(61.4 mL < X < 62.8 mL) = 0.49202 - 0.45224 = 0.0398.

(c) For the group of 43 pancake eaters, the probability that the average amount of syrup is between 61.4 mL and 62.8 mL is given by = P(61.4 mL < $\bar X$ < 62.8 mL)

P(61.4 mL < $\bar X$ < 62.8 mL) = P( $\bar X$ < 62.8 mL) - P( $\bar X$ $\leq$ 61.4 mL)

P( $\bar X$ < 62.8 mL) = P( $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\frac{62.8-63}{\frac{13}{\sqrt{43} } }$ ) = P(Z < -0.10) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 0.10)

= 1 - 0.53983 = 0.46017

P( $\bar X$ $\leq$ 61.4 mL) = P( $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ $\leq$ $\frac{61.4-63}{\frac{13}{\sqrt{43} } }$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ -0.81) = 1 - P(Z < 0.81)

= 1 - 0.79103 = 0.20897

Therefore, P(61.4 mL < X < 62.8 mL) = 0.46017 - 0.20897 = 0.2512.

(d) Yes, for part (d), the assumption that the distribution is normally distributed necessary.

In a study of the effect of college student employment on academic performance, the following summary statistics for GPA were re

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a test of 2 independent groups. The population standard deviations are not known. Let μemployed(μ1) be the sample mean of students who are employed and μnot employed(μ2) be the sample mean of students who are not employed

The random variable is μ1 - μ2 = difference in the mean of the employed and unemployed students.

We would set up the hypothesis.

The null hypothesis is

H0 : μ1 = μ2 H0 : μ1 - μ2 = 0

The alternative hypothesis is

H1 : μ1 < μ2 H1 : μ1 - μ2 < 0

Since sample standard deviation is known, we would determine the test statistic by using the t test. The formula is

(μ1 - μ2)/√(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2)

From the information given,

μ1 = 3.22

μ2 = 3.33

s1 = 0.475

s2 = 0.524

n1 = 172

n2 = 116

t = (3.22 - 3.33)/√(0.475²/172 + 0.524²/116)

t = - 1.81

The formula for determining the degree of freedom is

df = [s1²/n1 + s2²/n2]²/(1/n1 - 1)(s1²/n1)² + (1/n2 - 1)(s2²/n2)²

df = [0.475²/172 + 0.524²/116]²/[(1/172 - 1)(0.475²/172)² + (1/116 - 1)(0.524²/116)²] = 0.00001353363/0.00000005878

df = 230

We would determine the probability value from the t test calculator. It becomes

p value = 0.036

Since alpha, 0.05 > than the p value, 0.036, then we would reject the null hypothesis.

Therefore, at a 5% significant level, this information support the hypothesis that for students at this university, those who are not employed have a higher mean GPA than those who are employed
