Percent means parts out of 100
30%=30/100=3/10
'of' means multiply
60 is 30% of what translates to
60=3/10 times what
multiply both sides by 10/3
600/3=what
200=what
the number is 200
A method that always works is to find the slope of the given line, then find the negative reciprocal of that. Your result will be the slope of the perpendicular line. Using this slope and the given point, fill in the parameters of the point-slope form of the equation of a line.
For m = slope of given line and (h, k) = given point, the perpendicular line will be
y = (-1/m)(x -h) +k
Often, this equation can be simplified to another appropriate form, such as slope-intercept form (y = mx+b) or standard form (ax+by=c).
_____
The slope of a given line can be found by solving its equation for y. The slope is the coefficient of x in that solution. If the given line is characterized by two points, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), then its slope is m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).
In the unusual case where the given line is vertical (x=<some constant>), the slope of the perpendicular line is zero, and the line you want becomes y=k.
Answer:
29.5+/-1.11
= ( 28.39, 30.61)
Therefore, the 90% confidence interval (a,b) =( 28.39, 30.61)
Step-by-step explanation:
Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.
The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.
x+/-zr/√n
Given that;
Mean x = 29.5
Standard deviation r = 5.2
Number of samples n = 59
Confidence interval = 90%
z-value (at 90% confidence) = 1.645
Substituting the values we have;
29.5+/-1.645(5.2/√59)
29.5+/-1.645(0.676982337100)
29.5+/-1.113635944529
29.5+/-1.11
= ( 28.39, 30.61)
Therefore, the 90% confidence interval (a,b) =( 28.39, 30.61)
Answer:
8 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the y-intercept for both ordered pairs is 4, then all you need to do is subtract X2 from X1, which is 8.
