Answer:
m = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find two clear points:
(1, -2) (0, 1)
Then, use the slope formula:
m = <u>y2 - y1</u>
x2 - x1
m = <u>1 - (-2)</u>
0 - 1
= <u>3</u> = -3
-1
m = -3
This means that the rise-over-run is -3 over 1, or 3 over -1.
Which means three down and 1 to the right, or 3 up and 1 to the left.
Slope is the steepness of the line.
The normal distribution curve for the problem is shown below
We need to standardise the value X=405.5 by using the formula


We now need to find the probability of z=0.32 by reading the z-table
Note that z-table would give the reading to the left of z-score, so if your aim is to work out the area to the right of a z-score, then you'd need to do:

from the z-table, the reading

gives 0.6255
hence,

The probability that the mean weight for a sample of 40 trout exceeds 405.5 gram is 0.3475 = 34.75%
Answer:
Cluster sample
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an example of a cluster sample. In a cluster sample, the examiner divides the population into groups (each one of these groups is called a cluster) and once the examiner has these clusters, takes one of them and recollects the data from ALL the members of that cluster. In this case, the teacher divided the class in 3 different groups and then selects one of these groups and asks the average amount of time per week he/she spent studying.
The answer is most likly to be B.
The bigger number is 42 and the smaller number is 10
