Point slope form and standard form

2 answers:

8 0

The point slope form, , is useful in situations involving slope and the location of one or more points. The standard form, , is usually easier to use when we need to make algebraic calculations. When needs or knowledge change, we can convert an equation from one form into another.

The slope-intercept form (not asked for) is the y=mx+b form, where m is the slope and b is the y-value of the y-intercept (0,b).
This form only works if you have both the slope and y-intercept.

If you have the slope and some other point on the line, say (x1, y1), then the point slope form is:
y - y1 = m ( x - x1 )

So, if you have a slope of 7 and a point (2, -6), then your point-slope form would be:
y - (-6) = 7 ( x- 2) or y+6=7(x-2)

Now standard form is the Ax+By=C format. You can turn any slope-intercept equation or point-slope equation into that form by distributing everything out and getting the x’s and y’s to the left side. Often you’ll also make sure you don’t have any fractions.

Taking the last answer I had, y+6=7(x-2), I’d put this into standard form by distributing:
y+6=7(x-2)

y+6 = 7x - 14

Then move 7x to the left by subtracting and move 6 to the right by subtracting:

-7x + y = -20

34% of college students say they use credit cards because of the rewards program. You randomly select 10 college students and a

finlep [7]

Answer:

a) There is a 18.73% probability that exactly two students use credit cards because of the rewards program.

b) There is a 71.62% probability that more than two students use credit cards because of the rewards program.

c) There is a 82% probability that between two and five students, inclusive, use credit cards because of the rewards program.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are only two possible outcomes. Either the student use credit cards because of the rewards program, or they use for other reason. So, we can solve this problem by the binomial distribution.

Binomial probability

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And $\pi$ is the probability of X happening.

In this problem, we have that:

10 student are sampled, so $n = 10$

34% of college students say they use credit cards because of the rewards program, so $\pi = 0.34$

(a) exactly two

This is P(X = 2).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.34)^{2}.(0.66)^{8} = 0.1873$

There is a 18.73% probability that exactly two students use credit cards because of the rewards program.

(b) more than two

This is $P(X > 2)$ .

Either a value is larger than two, or it is smaller of equal. The sum of the decimal probabilities must be 1. So:

$P(X \leq 2) + P(X > 2) = 1$

$P(X > 2) = 1 - P(X \leq 2)$

In which

$P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.34)^{0}.(0.66)^{10} = 0.0157$

$P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.34)^{1}.(0.66)^{9} = 0.0808$

$P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.34)^{2}.(0.66)^{8} = 0.1873$

$P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0157 + 0.0808 + 0.1873 = 0.2838$

$P(X > 2) = 1 - P(X \leq 2) = 1 - 0.2838 = 0.7162$

There is a 71.62% probability that more than two students use credit cards because of the rewards program.

(c) between two and five inclusive

This is:

$P = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.34)^{2}.(0.66)^{8} = 0.1873$

$P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.34)^{3}.(0.66)^{7} = 0.2573$

$P(X = 4) = C_{10,4}.(0.34)^{4}.(0.66)^{6} = 0.2320$

$P(X = 5) = C_{10,5}.(0.34)^{5}.(0.66)^{5} = 0.1434$

$P = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.1873 + 0.2573 + 0.2320 + 0.1434 = 0.82$

There is a 82% probability that between two and five students, inclusive, use credit cards because of the rewards program.
