The slope of this line is -1/6.

2 Point: (6,2) (-6,6)
x₁ y₁ x₂ y₂

Remember:

rise change in y y₂ - y₁ 6 - 2 4
---------- = ------------------- = ------------- = ----------- = ----------
run change in x x₂ - x₁ -6 - 6 -12

Simplify 4/-12

4 ÷ 4 1
------- = ------------- = -1/3
-12 ÷ 4 -3

The slope of the line is -1/3.

The square of a number is 12 less than 7 times the number. What is the number?

hjlf

Answer:

The number is either 3 or 4

Explanation:

Assume that the number we are looking for is x

The square of the number would be x²

7 times the number would be 7x

We are given that:

square of the number (x²) is 12 less than 7 times the number (7x)

Translating this into an equation, we would have:

x² = 7x - 12

Rearranging the quadratic equation:

x² - 7x + 12 = 0

Now, we factor the equation:

(x-4)(x-3) = 0

This means that:

either x-4 = 0 ..................> x = 4

or x-3 = 0 ........................> x = 3

Let's check if any of the solutions is an extrovert:

For x = 3 .............> (3)² = 7(3) - 12 .........> 9 = 21 - 12 .......> 9 = 9 .......> not extrovert

For x = 4 .............> (4)² = 7(4) - 12 .........> 16 = 28 - 12 .....> 16 = 16 ....> not extrovert

Since we have no restrictions on the number, therefore, both solutions would be accepted

Hope this helps :)

A food company sells salmon to various customers. The mean weight of the salmon is 37 lb with a standard deviation of 2 lbs. The

brilliants [131]

Answer:

The standard deviation for the mean weigth of Salmon is 2/3 lbs for restaurants, 2/7 lbs for grocery stores and 1/4 lbs for discount order stores.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean sample of the sum of n random variables is

$\overline{X} = \frac{X_1+X_2+...+X_n}{n}$

If $X_1, ..., X_n$ are indentically distributed and independent, like in the situation of the problem, then the variance of $X_1 + .... + X_n$ will be the sum of the variances, in other words, it will be n times the variance of $X_1$ .

However if we multiply this mean by 1/n (in other words, divide by n), then we have to divide the variance by 1/n², thus $\overkine{X} = \frac{V(X_1)}{n}$ and as a result, the standard deviation of $\overline{X}$ is the standard deviation of $X_1$ divided by $\sqrt{n}$ .

Since the standard deviation of the weigth of a Salmon is 2 lbs, then the standard deviations for the mean weigth will be:

Restaurants: We have boxes with 9 salmon each, so it will be $\frac{2}{\sqrt{9}} = \frac{2}{3}$
Grocery stores: Each carton has 49 salmon, thus the standard deviation is $\frac{2}{\sqrt{49}} = \frac{2}{7}$
Discount outlet stores: Each pallet has 64 salmon, as a result, the standard deviation is $\frac{2}{\sqrt{64}} = \frac{1}{4}$

We conclude that de standard deivation of the mean weigth of salmon of the types of shipment given is: 2/3 lbs for restaurants, 2/7 lbs for grocery stores and 1/4 lbs for discount outlet stores.
