Answer: - 5



Explanation:



1) Some information in the question is missing: the height of the roller coaster at the bottom of the drop.



2) Here is the complete question: "Across a horizontal distance of 25 feet, a roller coaster has a steep drop. The height of the roller coaster at the bottom of the drop is -125 feet, compared to its height at the top of the drop. What is the average amount that the roller coaster's height changes over each horizontal foot"



3) Now, you can calculate the average amount that the roller coaster's height changes over each horizontal foot, using this formula:



Average change = [change in height] / [change in horizontal]



4) Change in height = [final height - initial height] = - 125 feet



5) Change in horizontal distance = 25 feet



6) Answer: - 125 feet / 25 feet = - 5.



The negative sign means that the height decreased.

At a university, 60% of the 7,400 students are female. The student newspaper reports the results of a survey of a random sample
omeli [17]

Given Information:

Population mean = p  = 60% = 0.60

Population size = N = 7400

Sample size = n = 50

Required Information:

Sample mean = μ = ?

standard deviation = σ = ?

Answer:

Sample mean = μ = 0.60

standard deviation = σ = 0.069

Step-by-step explanation:

We know from the central limit theorem, the sampling distribution is approximately normal as long as the expected number of successes and failures are equal or greater than 10

np ≥ 10

50*0.60 ≥ 10

30 ≥ 10 (satisfied)

n(1 - p) ≥ 10

50(1 - 0.60) ≥ 10

50(0.40) ≥ 10

20 ≥ 10  (satisfied)

The mean of the sampling distribution will be same as population mean that is

Sample mean = p = μ = 0.60

The standard deviation for this sampling distribution is given by

\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }

Where p is the population mean that is proportion of female students and n is the sample size.

\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{0.60(1-0.60)}{50} }\\\\\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{0.60(0.40)}{50} }\\\\\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{0.24}{50} }\\\\\sigma = \sqrt{0.0048} }\\\\\sigma =  0.069

Therefore, the standard deviation of the sampling distribution is 0.069.

if i have a line y=4x+7. I want to create another line that is perpendicular through point A (16,2). What is the new equation?
Charra [1.4K]
Perpendicular lines have the negative reciprocal slope, so the slope of your new line will be -1/4 and the current equation will be as follows:
y = -1/4x + b
(where b is the y intercept)

to find b, plug in point A and you'll get:
2 = -1/4(16) + b
2 = -4 + b
6 = b

the equation will be:
y = -1/4x + 6
