Answer In POINT-SLOPE FORM: Complete The Point-slope Equation Of The Line Through (1,3) And (5,1) Use

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

y - 3 = (1/2)(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

As we go from (1, 3) to (5, 1), we see that x (the run) increases by 4 and y (the rise) decreases by 2.  Hence, the slope is m = rise / run = 2/4, or m = 1/2.

Then the desired point slope equation is  y - 3 = (1/2)(x - 1).

Of 41 bank customers depositing a check, 22 received some cash back. Construct a 90 percent confidence interval for the proportion of all depositors who ask for cash back. (Round your answers to 4 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

CI: {0.4085; 0.6647}

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for a proportion (p) is given by:

[tex]p \pm z*\sqrt{\frac{(1-p)*p}{n} }[/tex]

Where n is the sample size, and z is the z-score for the desired confidence interval. The score for a 90% confidence interval is 1.645. The proportion of depositors who ask for cash back is:

[tex]p=\frac{22}{41}=0.536585[/tex]

Thus the confidence interval is:

[tex]0.536585 \pm 1.645*\sqrt{\frac{(1-0.536585)*0.536585}{41}}\\0.536585 \pm 0.128109\\L=0.4085\\U=0.6647[/tex]

The confidence interval for the proportion of all depositors who ask for cash back is CI: {0.4085; 0.6647}

There are two boxes containing only black and orange pens.

Box A has 4 black pens and 16 orange pens.
Box B has 2 black pens and 3 orange pens.

A pen is randomly chosen from each box. List these events from least likely to most likely.

Event 1: choosing a black pen from Box A.
Event 2: choosing a black or orange pen from Box A.
Event 3: choosing a white pen from Box B.
Event 4: choosing a black pen from Box B.

Answers

Answer:

Event 3 -> Event 1 -> Event 4 -> Event 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of choosing a certain pen is the number of that pen in the box over the total number of pens in the box.

So we have that:

Event 1: We have 4 black pen and 20 total pens, so P = 4 / 20 = 1 / 5

Event 2: All pens are black or orange so the probability is 1.

Event 3: We don't have white pens, so the probability is 0.

Event 4: We have 2 black pen and 5 total pens, so P = 2 / 5

Listing from least likely to most likely, we have:

Event 3 -> Event 1 -> Event 4 -> Event 2

An athletics coach states that the distribution of player run times (in seconds) for a 100-meter dash is normally distributed with a mean equal to 13.00 and a standard deviation equal to 0.2 seconds. What percentage of players on the team run the 100-meter dash in 13.36 seconds or faster

Answers

Answer:

96.41% of players on the team run the 100-meter dash in 13.36 seconds or faster

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value 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. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

[tex]\mu = 13, \sigma = 0.2[/tex]

What percentage of players on the team run the 100-meter dash in 13.36 seconds or faster

We have to find the pvalue of Z when X = 13.36.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{13.36 - 13}{0.2}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.8[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.8[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9641

96.41% of players on the team run the 100-meter dash in 13.36 seconds or faster

Jill bought 7 books more than Sam. If Sam and Jill together have 25 books, find the
number of books Sam has.

Answers

Answer:

Jill bought 16 books and Sam bought 9 books

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of books that Jill bought be j.

Let the number of books that Sam bought be s.

Jill bought 7 more books than Sam:

j = 7 + s

They bought 25 books altogether:

j + s = 25

Put j = 7 + s into the second equation:

7 + s + s = 25

7 + 2s = 25

2s = 25 - 7 = 18

s = 18/2 = 9 books

Therefore:

j = 7 + s = 7 + 9

s = 16 books

Jill bought 16 books and Sam bought 9 books.

A boat that can travel 18 mph in still water can travel 21 miles downstream in the same amount of time that it can travel 15 miles upstream. Find the speed (in mph) of the current in the river.

Answers

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We see that if the river isn't moving at all the boat can move at 18 mph (most likely because it has an engine propelling it.)

We want to set up a proportion where our 21 miles downstream time is equal to our 15 miles upstream time so we can find the speed. A proportion is basically showing that two ratios are equal. Since our downstream distance and upstream distance can be done in the same amount of time, we will write it as a proportion.

We want to find the speed of the river. We will use r to represent the speed of the river. When going downstream, the boat will go faster, so it will have a higher mph. So, our speed going down is 18+r. When you are going upstream, it's the opposite, so it will be 18-r.

[tex]\frac{distance}{speed} =\frac{21}{18+r} = \frac{15}{18-r}[/tex]

So, how do we figure out what r is now? Well, one nice thing to know about proportions is that the product of the items diagonal from each other equals the product of the other items. Basically, that means that 15(18+r) is equal to 21(18-r). This is a very nice trick to solve proportions quickly. We see that we have made an equation and now we can solve it!

15(18+r)=21(18-r)

We use the distributive property to undo the parentheses.

270+15r=378-21r

We subtract 270 from both sides.

15r=108-21

We add 21 to both sides.

36r=108

We divide both sides by 36.

r=3

Therefore, the speed of the river is 3 mph.

You also could have noticed that 18mph to 21 mph is +3, and 18mph to 15 mph -3 in -3 mph, so the speed of the river is 3 mph. That would have been a quicker way to solve it XD!

Have a wonderful day!

According to the New York Stock Exchange, the mean portfolio value for U.S. senior citizens who are shareholders is $183,000. Assume portfolio values are normally distributed. Suppose a simple random sample of 51 senior citizen shareholders in a certain region of the United States is found to have a mean portfolio value of $198,000, with a standard deviation of $65,000.
a. From these sample results, and using the 0.05 level of significance comment on whether the mean portfolio value for all senior citizen shareholders in this region might not be the same as the mean value reported for their counterparts across the nation, by using the critical value method. Establish the null and alternative hypotheses.
b. What is your conclusion about the null hypothesis?

Answers

Answer:

The test statistic value  t =  1.64 < 2.0086 at 0.05 level of significance

Null hypothesis is accepted

The mean portfolio value for all senior citizen shareholders in this region might not be the same as the mean value reported for their counterparts across the nation

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given mean of the population (μ) =  $183,000

Given mean of the sample (x⁻)  = $198,000

Given standard deviation of the sample (S) =  $65,000.

Mean of the sample size 'n' = 51

level of significance  α = 0.05

Step(ii):-

Null hypothesis : H₀ : There is no significance difference between the means

Alternative Hypothesis :H₁: There is  significance difference between the means

Test statistic

             [tex]t = \frac{x^{-}-mean }{\frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

           [tex]t = \frac{198,000- 183,000 }{\frac{ 65,000}{\sqrt{51} } }[/tex]

          t =  1.64

Step(iii)

Degrees of freedom  ν = n-1 = 51-1 =50

t₀.₀₅ =  2.0086

The calculated value  t =  1.64 < 2.0086 at 0.05 level of significance

Null hypothesis is accepted

Final answer:-

There is no significance difference between the means

The mean portfolio value for all senior citizen shareholders in this region might not be the same as the mean value reported for their counterparts across the nation

The tens digit in a two digit number is 4 greater than one’s digit. If we interchange the digits in the number, we obtain a new number that, when added to the original number, results in the sum of 88. Find this number

Answers

Answer:

The original digit is 62

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Tens be represented with T

Let the Units be represented with U

Given:

Unknown Two digit number

Required:

Determine the number

Since, it's a two digit number, then the number can be represented as;

[tex]T * 10 + U[/tex]

From the first sentence, we have that;

[tex]T = 4 + U[/tex]

[tex]T = 4+U[/tex]

Interchanging the digit, we have the new digit to be [tex]U * 10 + T[/tex]

So;

[tex](U * 10 + T) + (T * 10+ U) = 88[/tex]

[tex]10U + T + 10T + U= 88[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]10U + U + T + 10T = 88[/tex]

[tex]11U + 11T = 88[/tex]

Divide through by 11

[tex]U + T = 8[/tex]

Recall that [tex]T = 4+U[/tex]

[tex]U + T = 8[/tex] becomes

[tex]U + 4 + U = 8[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]U + U = 8 - 4[/tex]

[tex]2U = 4[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2

[tex]U = 2[/tex]

Substitute 2 for U in [tex]T = 4+U[/tex]

[tex]T = 4 + 2[/tex]

[tex]T = 6[/tex]

Recall that the original digit is [tex]T * 10 + U[/tex]

Substitute 6 for T and 2 for U

[tex]T * 10 + U[/tex]

[tex]6 * 10 + 2[/tex]

[tex]60 + 2[/tex]

[tex]62[/tex]

Hence, the original digit is 62

PLEASE HELP!!!! Find the common difference

Answers

Answer:

The common difference is 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

3rd term (a3) = 0

Common difference (d) =.?

From the question given, we were told that the 7th term (a7) and the 4th term (a4) are related by the following equation:

a7 – 2a4 = 1

Recall:

a7 = a + 6d

a4 = a + 3d

a3 = a + 2d

Note: 'a' is the first term, 'd' is the common difference. a3, a4 and a7 are the 3rd, 4th and 7th term respectively.

But, a3 = 0

a3 = a + 2d

0 = a + 2d

Rearrange

a = – 2d

Now:

a7 – 2a4 = 1

Substituting the value of a7 and a4, we have

a + 6d – 2(a + 3d) = 1

Sustitute the value of 'a' i.e –2d into the above equation, we have:

–2d + 6d – 2(–2d + 3d) = 1

4d –2(d) = 1

4d –2d = 1

2d = 1

Divide both side by 2

d = 1/2

Therefore, the common difference is 1/2

***Check:

d = 1/2

a = –2d = –2 x 1/2 = –1

a3 = 0

a3 = a + 2d

0 = –1 + 2(1/2)

0 = –1 + 1

0 = 0

a7 = a + 6d = –1 + 6(1/2) = –1 + 3 = 2

a4 = a + 3d = –1 + 3(1/2) = –1 + 3/2

= (–2 + 3)/2 = 1/2

a7 – 2a4 = 1

2 – 2(1/2 = 1

2 – 1 = 1

1 = 1
