Answer:

• Considering ax + by = -7

{ \tt{ax + by =  - 7}} \\  \\ { \tt{(a \times 2) + (b \times  - 1) =  - 7}} \\  \\ { \boxed{ \tt{2a - b =  - 7 \:  -  -  - eqn \{1 \}}}}

• make b the subject of eqn{1}

{ \tt{b = 2a + 7 -  -  - eqn \{2 \}}}

• considering 2ax - 3by = 1

{ \tt{2ax - 3by = 1}} \\  \\ { \tt{(2a \times 2) - (3b \times  - 1) = 1}} \\  \\ { \boxed{ \tt{4a + 3b = 1 -  -  -  eqn \{3 \}}}}

• substitute b in eqn{3} with b from eqn{2}

{ \tt{4a + 3(2a + 7) = 1}} \\  \\ { \tt{4a + 6a + 21 = 1}} \\  \\ { \tt{10a =  - 20}} \\  \\ { \boxed{ \boxed{ \tt{ \:  \: a =  - 2  \:  \: }}}}

• find b using eqn{2}

{ \tt{b = 2a + 7}} \\  \\ { \tt{b = (2 \times  - 2) + 7}} \\  \\ { \tt{b  =  - 4 + 7}} \\  \\ { \boxed{ \boxed{ \tt{ \:  \: b = 3 \:  \: }}}}

WHEN GIVEN A RAW SCORE, EXPLAIN HOW TO USE THE NORMAL CURVE TO COMPARE THAT SCORE TO THE POPULATION. WHAT IS A Z-SCORE?
valina [46]

<span>1. </span>When given a raw score, it must be converted into a z-score (standard score). Raw scores cannot be placed on a normal distribution curve because they do not have the same means and standard deviations, but when it is converted into a z-score, the number of standard deviations above or below the population mean can be measured. The z-scores on the center are average, the scores on the left are lower than average and the scores on the right are higher than average.

<span>2. </span>A z-score is a standard score which can be placed on a normal distribution curve. A z-score indicates the distance of the standard deviations from the mean (center of the curve).

aniked [119]

The coordinate of point F will be (1.6,4.2) for the given line segment.

<h3> What is a line segment?</h3>

A line section that can connect two places is referred to as a segment.

In other words, a line segment is just part of a big line that is straight and going unlimited in both directions.

The line is here! It extends endlessly in both directions and has no beginning or conclusion.

Given the F intercept 2 and 3

x = [2(4) + 3(0)]/(2+3)

x = 8/5 = 1.6

Similarly

y = [2(0) + 3 (7)]/(2+3)

y = 21/5 = 4.2

Hence "The coordinate of point F will be (1.6,4.2) for the given line segment".
