Answer:

y = -3/2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you know it has a point at (0, 2) - the y intercept, put those values into the equation and solve. To be perpendicular it seems the reciprocal of the slope with the opposite sign, so 2/3 is the original slope, and -3/2 becomes the new slope.

y = 2/3x + 8 becomes

2 = -3/2(0) + b We substitute in the x and y values, but we have to figure out what the last number will be.

2 = 0 + b

b = 2

So put the whole equation together

y = -3/2x + 2

Verizon [17]

Answer:

The population mean of at least one treatment effect are different.

Step-by-step explanation:

An analysis of variance (ANOVA) is conducted in order to determine if there are significant differences between the values of the population mean with respect to the response variable for the domains that under the effects of different treatments. A low p-value leads to reject the null hypothesis of the following hypothesis system:

$H_0: \mu_1=\mu_2=...=\mu_k\\\\\\H_a: \mu_i \neq\mu_j, for $ for some i, j between 1 and k.$$

Rejecting H0 means that this hypothesis is false and, in turn, allows us to conclude that the population mean of one of the domains is different from the others.

Advocard [28]

Answer:

- 9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope m = (y2 - y1) /(x2 - x1) = (14 - 5)/(1 - 3)= 9/(-2)= - 9/2

Ali surveyed 200 students at a school and recorded the eye color and the gender of each student. of the 80 male students who wer

Aloiza [94]

Total number of students surveyed = 200
Number of male students = 80
Number of female students = 200 - 80 = 120

Number of brown eyed male students = 60
Probability of a brown eyed male student = 60 / 80 = 0.75.

Since, <span>eye color and gender are independent, this means that eye color is not affected by the gender. Thus, we expect a similar probability of brown eye for female as we had for male.

Let the number expected of brown eyed females be x, then x / 120 = 0.75.

Thus, x = 120(0.75) = 90.

Therefore, the number female students surveyed expected to be brown eyed is 90.</span>
