Answer:

Slope is 5/17.

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the y's and put on top of a fraction. Subtract the x's and put on the bottom of the fraction. Simplify. Be sure to start with the x and y that go together in front of the minus sign and end with the other x and y behind the minus sign.

7 - 2 put 5 on top.

11 - -6 is 17 (because 11 - -6 is the same as 11+6)

So you get 5/17 and it cannot be simplified so it is your answer.

Answer:

5/17

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula:

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

We have two points:

(x₁, y₁) = (11, 7) and (x₂, y₂) = (- 6, 2)

Substitute the coordinates into the slope formula:

m = (2 - 7)/(-6 - 11) = - 5 / - 17 = 5/17

Find the proportion of heights that are within 1 standard deviation of the sample mean and also the proportion that are within 2

Bess [88]

For a normal distribution only, for a population, not for particular sample.

proportion between 1 standard deviation, independent of μ and σ , is given by:
P(Z<1)-P(Z<-1)
=0.841345-0.158655=0.682689
=0.68 (to two places of decimal)

proportion between 2 standard deviations, independent of μ and σ , is given by:
P(Z<2)-P(Z<-2)
=0.977250-0.022750=0.954500=0.95 (to two places of decimal)

You are dealt one card from a satndard 52-card deck. Find the probability of being dealt an ace or a 7

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

2/13 or 15.38%

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of Aces in a deck = 4

Number of 7s in a deck = 4

Number of cards in a deck = 52

Probability of A or 7 = (4 Aces + 4 Sevens) / 52 cards 8 cards / 52 cards

This simplifies to 2/13 or 15.38%
