Answer:
slope is -2 and the y-intercept is 12
Step-by-step explanation:
a key thing to remember: x is always equal to 0 when finding the y-intercept.
so if you look at the table for where 0 is, you get the point (0,12) meaning the y-intercept is 12.
to find the slope use the equation: slope= change in y/change in x
you can use any two points to find this.
lets take the points of the x-intercept (6,0) and the y-intercept (0,12)
12-0/0-6
12/-6
-2 = slope
SInce the 'growth factor' is 1.32, the 'growth rate' is .32 or 32%
Answer:
a) 615
b) 715
c) 344
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the Question,
- Given that, A study conducted by the Center for Population Economics at the University of Chicago studied the birth weights of 732 babies born in New York. The mean weight was 3311 grams with a standard deviation of 860 grams
- Since the distribution is approximately bell-shaped, we can use the normal distribution and calculate the Z scores for each scenario.
Z = (x - mean)/standard deviation
Now,
For x = 4171, Z = (4171 - 3311)/860 = 1
- P(Z < 1) using Z table for areas for the standard normal distribution, you will get 0.8413.
Next, multiply that by the sample size of 732.
- Therefore 732(0.8413) = 615.8316, so approximately 615 will weigh less than 4171
- For part b, use the same method except x is now 1591.
Z = (1581 - 3311)/860 = -2
- P(Z > -2) , using the Z table is 1 - 0.0228 = 0.9772 . Now 732(0.9772) = 715.3104, so approximately 715 will weigh more than 1591.
- For part c, we now need to get two Z scores, one for 3311 and another for 5031.
Z1 = (3311 - 3311)/860 = 0
Z2 = (5031 - 3311)/860= 2
P(0 ≤ Z ≤ 2) = 0.9772 - 0.5000 = 0.4772
approximately 47% fall between 0 and 1 standard deviation, so take 0.47 times 732 ⇒ 732×0.47 = 344.
use the Pythagoras theorem method
a squared plus b squared equals c square
