Answer:

m = 1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

x = 10

y = 8

x1 = 1

y1 = 9

Solution:

y - y1 = m ( x - x1 )

9 - 8 = m ( 10 - 1 )

1 = 9m

m = 1/9

Write an arithmetic expression that calculates the average of 18 and 46. you may already know that: the average of two numbers i

Masteriza [31]

In this question , we have to write an arithmetic expression that calculates the average of 18 and 46.

TO find the average, we have to add the numbers and divide by 2.

So here we have to add 18 and 46 and divide by 2, that is

$d = \frac{18+46}{2} = \frac{64}{2}$

And that's the required algebraic expression .

Find the sum of the following infinite geometric series, if it exists. 2 + 6 + 18 + 54 +… Does not exist 23,567 25,982 29,034

Sladkaya [172]

Option A: The sum for the infinite geometric series does not exist

Explanation:

The given series is $2+6+18+54+.......$

We need to determine the sum for the infinite geometric series.

<u>Common ratio:</u>

The common difference for the given infinite series is given by

$r=\frac{6}{2}=3$

Thus, the common difference is $r=3$

<u>Sum of the infinite series:</u>

The sum of the infinite series can be determined using the formula,

$S_{\infty}=\frac{a}{1-r}$ where $0$

Since, the value of r is 3 and the value of r does not lie in the limit $0$

Hence, the sum for the given infinite geometric series does not exist.

Therefore, Option A is the correct answer.

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

$58.84375, rounded ≈ $58.84

Step-by-step explanation:

You can do 67.25 x 7/8 (use a calc if you are lazy) = 58.84375

I'm guessing you don't need to round so I'm going to add both real and rounded answers

Suppose that a local TV station conducts a survey of a random sample of 120 registered voters in order to predict the winner of

forsale [732]

Answer:

a) The 99% CI for the true proportion of voters who prefer the Republican candidate is (0.3658, 0.6001). This means that we are 99% sure that the true population proportion of all voters who prefer the Republican candidate is (0.3658, 0.6001).

b) The upper bound of the confidence interval is above 0.5 = 50%, which meas that the candidate can be confidence of victory.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

Sample of 120 registered voters in order to predict the winner of a local election. The Democrat candidate was favored by 62 of the respondents.

So 120 - 62 = 58 favored the Republican candidate, so:

$n = 120, \pi = \frac{58}{120} = 0.4833$

99% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.01$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995$ , so $Z = 2.575$ .

The lower limit of this interval is:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.4833 - 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.4833*0.5167}{120}} = 0.3658$

The upper limit of this interval is:

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.4833 + 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.4833*0.5167}{120}} = 0.6001$

The 99% CI for the true proportion of voters who prefer the Republican candidate is (0.3658, 0.6001). This means that we are 99% sure that the true population proportion of all voters who prefer the Republican candidate is (0.3658, 0.6001).

b. If a candidate needs a simple majority of the votes to win the election, can the Republican candidate be confident of victory? Justify your response with an appropriate statistical argument.

The upper bound of the confidence interval is above 0.5 = 50%, which meas that the candidate can be confidence of victory.
