What is the slope of the line through the points (2,8) and (5,7)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

-1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line can be found by

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = ( 7-8)/(5-2)

    = -1/3

Answer 2

Answer:

-1/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope can be found by doing the rise over the run.

In this case, the rise is 8 - 7 = 1.

The run is 2 - 5 = -3.

So, the slope is 1 / -3 = -1/3.

FInd the Slope and y-intercept

3y-x=18

Answers

Answer:

The slope is 1/3 and the y intercept is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form of a line is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

3y -x =18

Add x to each side

3y = x+18

Divide each side by 3

3y/3 = x/3 +18/3

y = 1/3x +6

The slope is 1/3 and the y intercept is 6

We need to solve for y (y = mx + b):

3y - x = 18

~Add x to both sides

3y = 18 + x

~Divide 3 to everything

y = 6 + x/3 or y = 6 + 1/3/x

So... 1/3 is the slope and 6 is the y-intercept.

if 12 1/2% of a sum of money is $40, what is the TOTAL sum of money?

Answers

Answer:

$320

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total sum of money be $x.

Therefore,

12 1/2% of x = 40

25/2% * x = 40

0.125 * x= 40

x = 40/0.125

x = $320

Thus, total sum of money is $320.

Given that C is at (-6, -1) and D (4, 8), find the point P that partitions CD into the ratio of 1:3.

Answers

Answer:

The coordinates of point P are (-7/2, 5/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to give the coordinates of the point P that divide CD in the given ratio

To do this , we shall be making use of a mathematical formula;

Let’s say the ratio 1:3 represents a:b, our formula those becomes

{(bx1 + ax2)/(a + b) ,( by1+ay2)/a+b}

From the question, we can identify that

(x1,y1) = (-6,-1)

(x2,y2) = (4,8)

a = 1 and b = 3

Plugging these values into the formula we have

3(-6) + 1(4)/(1+3) , 3(-1) + 1(8)/(1+3)

= (-18 + 4)/4 , (-3+ 8)/4

=-14/4, 5/4

A random sample of 28 students had an average debt load of $18,800. It is believed that the population standard deviation for student debt load is $4800. The α is set to 0.05. The confidence interval for this hypothesis test would be ________.

Answers

Answer:

A 95% confidence interval for the population average debt load of graduating students with a bachelor's degree is [$17,022.05, $20,577.94].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a random sample of 28 students had an average debt load of $18,800. It is believed that the population standard deviation for student debt load is $4800. The α is set to 0.05.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for finding the confidence interval for the population mean is given by;

                             P.Q.  =  [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]  ~ N(0,1)

where, [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample average debt load = $18,800

            [tex]\sigma[/tex] = population standard deviation = $4,800

            n = sample of students = 28

            [tex]\mu[/tex] = population average debt load

Here for constructing a 95% confidence interval we have used a One-sample z-test statistics because we know about population standard deviation.

So, 95% confidence interval for the population mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is ;

P(-1.96 < N(0,1) < 1.96) = 0.95  {As the critical value of z at 5% level of

                                                      significance are -1.96 & 1.96}  

P(-1.96 < [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < 1.96) = 0.95

P( [tex]-1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < [tex]{\bar X-\mu}[/tex] < [tex]1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ) = 0.95

P( [tex]\bar X-1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < [tex]\mu[/tex] < [tex]\bar X+1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ) = 0.95

95% confidence interval for [tex]\mu[/tex] = [ [tex]\bar X-1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] , [tex]\bar X+1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ]

                        = [ [tex]\$18,800-1.96 \times {\frac{\$4,800}{\sqrt{28} } }[/tex] , [tex]\$18,800+1.96 \times {\frac{\$4,800}{\sqrt{28} } }[/tex] ]

                        = [$17,022.05, $20,577.94]

Therefore, a 95% confidence interval for the population average debt load of graduating students with a bachelor's degree is [$17,022.05, $20,577.94].

at an intersection, the red light light times are normally distributed with a mean time of 3 minutes and a standard deviation of 0.25 minutes. Approximately what percent of red lights last between 2.5 and 3.5 minutes

Answers

Answer:

95.45%

Step-by-step explanation:

To go about this, what we do is to calculate the z-scores of the values in the range given.

Mathematically;

z-scores = (x-mean)/SD

Here in this case , mean is 3 and standard deviation is 0.25

So for 2.5 minutes, we have ;

z-score = (2.5-3)/0.25 = -0.5/0.25 = -2

For 3.5 minutes, we have;

z-score = (3.5-3)/0.25 = 0.5/0.25 = 2

The required probability we want to calculate according to the range is thus;

P(-2<z<2)

We can calculate this value by the use of the standard normal table

Mathematically, we can have the above as;

P(-2<z<2) = P(z<2) - P(z<-2)

We proceed using the table and we have the values as follows;

P(-2<z<2) = 0.97725 - 0.02275 = 0.9545

Now the value 0.9545 in percentage would be 95.45%

(a) A building has n floors numbered 1,2,...,n, plus a ground floor G. At the ground floor, m people get on the elevator together, and each gets off at a uniformly random one of the n floors (independently of everybody else). What is the expected number of floors the elevator stops at (not counting the ground floor)

Answers

Answer:

The expected number of floors the elevator stops at, not counting the ground floor is =

n*(1-(1-1/n)^m)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the expected number of floors the elevator stops at.

let X1,X2,X3,..Xn are indicator variable for which value =1 if at least one person stops on that floor otherwise value is 0

P(at least one person stops at floor Xj)=1-P(none of m people stops at floor j)

=1-(1-1/n)^m

here total number of floors on elevetor Stops X=X1+X2+X3+...+Xn

hence expected number of floors on elevetor Stops

E(X)=E(X1)+E(X2)+E(X3)...+E(Xn)

=(1-(1-1/n)^m )+(1-(1-1/n)^m )+(1-(1-1/n)^m )+(1-(1-1/n)^m )+..... n times

=n*(1-(1-1/n)^m)

Your total monthly bill (T) from the Electric and Gas Company depends on how much electricity and how much gas you use each month. For every kilowatt hour of electricity (k) you use, you are charged $0.25 and for each therm (t) of gas used you are charged $0.97

Answers

The correct answer is A. T = 0.25k + 0.97t

Explanation:

For an equation to be correct it needs to include all important values and use the appropriate mathematical symbols to show how the values relate. In the case presented, it is known the total bill (T) is the result of both the electricity (k) and gas (t) consumed. According to this, the two values need to be added to find the total (T). This means T = k + t.

Besides this, it is specified a kilowatt or unit of electricity costs $0.25, this means the correct expression for finding the total paid for electricity is 0.25k as the number of kilowatts consumed need to be multiplied by the cost of a kilowatt. Similarly, the cost of the gas requires multiplying the number of therms by the cost of one therm, which is $097. According to this, the correct equation is T = 0.25k + 0.97t
