Answer:

Examples for the problem would be:

1) Robert started to run out of his house as fast as he can
2) But he slowed down when he met up with his friends
3) They then stopped at a park along the way
4) After stopping at the park, they ran the rest of the way to school hoping they wouldn't be late.
or
1) Robert met with his friends right outside his house and raced them to the next block
2) After Robert won, they all walked normally to the park
3) They then stopped at the park for a quick break
4) After realizing class was gonna start in a few minutes, they ran as fast as they could to school

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first part, you want Robert to be running at a normal running speed, such as him racing his friends or just running.
For the second part you want him to be walking at a slower pace.
For the third part you want them to not be moving
For the fourth part, you'll explain how/why they're moving so fast since the graph shows that he ran fastest at this time.

5. Suppose that a particular candidate for public office is in fact favored by p = 48% of all registered voters. A polling organ

mart [117]

Answer:

Probability that the sample proportion will be greater than 0.5 is 0.8133.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the a particular candidate for public office is in fact favored by p = 48% of all registered voters. A polling organization is about to take a simple random sample of voters and will use the sample proportion to estimate p.

Suppose that the polling organization takes a simple random sample of 500 voters.

Let $\hat p$ = sample proportion

The z-score probability distribution for sample proportion is given by;

Z = $\frac{ \hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p$ = sample proportion

p = population proportion = 48%

n = sample of voters = 500

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X.

So, probability that the sample proportion will be greater than 0.5 is given by = P( $\hat p$ > 0.50)

P( $\hat p$ > 0.50) = P( $\frac{ \hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < $\frac{0.50-0.48}{\sqrt{\frac{0.50(1-0.50)}{500} } }$ ) = P(Z < 0.89) = 0.8133

Now, in the z table the P(Z $\leq$ x) or P(Z < x) is given. So, the above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.89 in the z table which has an area of 0.8133.

Therefore, probability that the sample proportion will be greater than 0.50 is 0.8133.

A Write the equation for line that passes through (1, 1) and (-1,7)

KengaRu [80]

Answer:y=-3x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find the equation for a line that passes through the two points:

(1,1) and (-1,7).

First of all, remember what the equation of a line is:

y = mx+b

Where:

m is the slope, and

b is the y-intercept

First, let's find what m is, the slope of the line...

The slope of a line is a measure of how fast the line "goes up" or "goes down". A large slope means the line goes up or down really fast (a very steep line). Small slopes means the line isn't very steep. A slope of zero means the line has no steepness at all; it is perfectly horizontal.

For lines like these, the slope is always defined as "the change in y over the change in x" or, in equation form:

So what we need now are the two points you gave that the line passes through. Let's call the first point you gave, (1,1), point #1, so the x and y numbers given will be called x1 and y1. Or, x1=1 and y1=1.

Also, let's call the second point you gave, (-1,7), point #2, so the x and y numbers here will be called x2 and y2. Or, x2=-1 and y2=7.

Now, just plug the numbers into the formula for m above, like this:

7 - 1

-1 - 1

or...

-2

or...

m=-3

So, we have the first piece to finding the equation of this line, and we can fill it into y=mx+b like this:

y=-3x+b

Now, what about b, the y-intercept?

To find b, think about what your (x,y) points mean:

(1,1). When x of the line is 1, y of the line must be 1.

(-1,7). When x of the line is -1, y of the line must be 7.

Because you said the line passes through each one of these two points, right?

Now, look at our line's equation so far: y=-3x+b. b is what we want, the -3 is already set and x and y are just two "free variables" sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specfically passes through the two points (1,1) and (-1,7).

So, why not plug in for x and y from one of our (x,y) points that we know the line passes through? This will allow us to solve for b for the particular line that passes through the two points you gave!.

You can use either (x,y) point you want..the answer will be the same:

(1,1). y=mx+b or 1=-3 × 1+b, or solving for b: b=1-(-3)(1). b=4.

(-1,7). y=mx+b or 7=-3 × -1+b, or solving for b: b=7-(-3)(-1). b=4.

See! In both cases we got the same value for b. And this completes our problem.

The equation of the line that passes through the points

(1,1) and (-1,7)

y=-3x+4
