<h3>Answer:</h3>

-2 and suki was right aDriene was wrong as he added

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Suki was right because Adrienne's Work was added. If you don't get what I'm saying I will explain. So if you have two negative numbers that need subtracted then the answers go up. Because if you look between positive numbers and negative numbers, the positive number always goes up when you add, but when you subtract you get less numbers. But if you have have negative numbers you have to subtract then they get less then, and when you add they get greater than.

So anyways Suki is correct because she is adding. And aDriene is incorrect because she added.

-2 and suki was right aDriene was wrong as he added

Step-by-step explanation:

-8-(-6)

-8+6 (it becomes positive 6 as a negative and negative give u a positive )

= -2

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

m - slope
b - y-intercept

Linear Regression

Step-by-step explanation:

We can draw any best line of fit, as long as it is <em>reasonable</em> around the points that are given.

We can just take 2 points and use slope formula and Slope-Intercept Form to find the equation for the best line of fit.

Using Linear Regression, we can determine the <em>true</em> best line of fit using graphing utilities.

<u>Finding the best line of fit</u>

<em>Define 2 points</em>

Point (21600, 205)

Point (27000, 290)

<em>Find slope m</em>

Substitute in point [SF]: $\displaystyle m=\frac{290-205}{27000-21600}$
[Fraction] Subtract: $\displaystyle m=\frac{85}{5400}$
[Fraction] Simplify: $\displaystyle m=\frac{17}{1080}$

<em>Find equation</em>

Define equation [SIF]: $\displaystyle y = \frac{17}{1080}x + b$
Substitute in point: $\displaystyle 290 = \frac{17}{1080}(27000) + b$
Multiply: $\displaystyle 290 = 425 + b$
Isolate y-intercept <em>b</em>: $\displaystyle -135 = b$
Rewrite: $\displaystyle b = -135$
Redefine equation: $\displaystyle y = \frac{17}{1080}x - 135$

Slope-Intercept Form tells us that our slope <em>m</em> = $\displaystyle \frac{17}{1080}$ and our y-intercept $\displaystyle b = -135$ .

Setting this as function f(x), we can see from the graph that it is extremely accurate (Blue line).

<u>Using Linear Regression</u>

Depending on the graphing calc you have, the steps may be different.

Using a graphing calc, we can use statistics and determine the <em>best</em> best line of fit.

When we determine the values, we should see that our equation would be g(x) (Green Line).

The average maximum monthly temperature in Campinas, Brazil is 29.9 degrees Celsius. The standard deviation in maximum monthly t

velikii [3]

Answer:

3.84% of months would have a maximum temperature of 34 degrees or higher

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 29.9, \sigma = 2.31$

What percentage of months would have a maximum temperature of 34 degrees or higher?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 34. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{34 - 29.9}{2.31}$

$Z = 1.77$

$Z = 1.77$ has a pvalue of 0.9616

1 - 0.9616 = 0.0384

3.84% of months would have a maximum temperature of 34 degrees or higher

How many different six-digit decimal numbers can be formed where the first digit is a 1 or the last digit is a 5?

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

10000 different numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers will have the form 1XXXX5, in this case, the order is important because 123465 is a different number to 123645. To know the total of differents decimal numbers, use the formula of permutation with repetition:

$n^r$
