Answer:

y = $\frac{4}{3}$ x - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - $\frac{3}{4}$ x ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - $\frac{3}{4}$ , c = 0

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{-\frac{3}{4} }$ = $\frac{4}{3}$ , then

y = $\frac{4}{3}$ x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (3, - 8) into the partial equation

- 8 = 4 + c ⇒ c = - 8 - 4 = - 12

y = $\frac{4}{3}$ x - 12 ← equation of perpendicular line

In a completely randomized experimental design, three brands of paper towels were tested for their ability to absorb water. Equa

arlik [135]

Answer:

Yes. At this significance level, there is evidence to support the claim that there is a difference in the ability of the brands to absorb water.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete:

The significance level is 0.05.

The data is:

Brand X: 91, 100, 88, 89

Brand Y: 99, 96, 94, 99

Brand Z: 83, 88, 89, 76

We have to check if there is a significant difference between the absorbency rating of each brand.

Null hypothesis: all means are equal

$H_0:\mu_x=\mu_y=\mu_z$

Alternative hypothesis: the means are not equal

$H_a: \mu_x\neq\mu_y\neq\mu_z$

We have to apply a one-way ANOVA

We start by calculating the standard deviation for each brand:

$s_x^2=30,\,\,s_y^2=6,\,\,s_z^2=35.33$

Then, we calculate the mean standard error (MSE):

$MSE=(\sum s_i^2)/a=(30+6+35.33)/3=71.33/3=23.78$

Now, we calculate the mean square between (MSB), but we previously have to know the sample means and the mean of the sample means:

$M_x=92,\,\,M_y=97,\,\,M_z=84\\\\M=(92+97+84)/3=91$

The MSB is then:

$s^2=\dfrac{\sum(M_i-M)^2}{N-1}\\\\\\s^2=\dfrac{(92-91)^2+(97-91)^2+(84-91)^2}{3-1}\\\\\\s^2=\dfrac{1+36+49}{2}=\dfrac{86}{2}=43\\\\\\\\MSB=ns^2=4*43=172$

Now we calculate the F statistic as:

$F=MSB/MSE=172/23.78=7.23$

The degrees of freedom of the numerator are:

$dfn=a-1=3-1=2$

The degrees of freedom of the denominator are:

$dfd=N-a=3*4-3=12-3=9$

The P-value of F=7.23, dfn=2 and dfd=9 is:

$P-value=P(F>7.23)=0.01342$

As the P-value (0.013) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the null hypothesis is rejected.

There is evidence to support the claim that there is a difference in the ability of the brands to absorb water.

There are 340 freshman at BHSS. This is one hundred less than two times the number of sophomores. Find the number of sophomores

natta225 [31]

To put it into an equation, it would be:

340 = 2x - 100

with x being the amount of sophomores at BHSS.

Solve it:

340 + 100 = 2x

2x = 440

x = 220

The number of sophomores at BHSS is 220.

A researcher surveyed 150 high school students and found that 68% played a musical insturment. What would be a reasonable range

maria [59]

Answer:

The reasonable range for the population mean is (61%, 75%).

Step-by-step explanation:

The interval estimate of a population parameter is an interval of values that consist of the values within which the true value of the parameter lies with a certain probability.

The mean of the sampling distribution of sample proportion is, $\hat p$ .
