Answer:

a. The slope is incorrect

b. y = 3x, ( 0 , 0 )

c) y = 4 - x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

The slope between two points (1, 3) and (6, -2) is 3.

a. Explain why the information Mary was given cannot be correct.

- The slope between two arbitrary points, ( x1 , y1 ) and  (x2 , y2) is given by the following relationship:

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

- Use the given points (1, 3) and (6, -2) and determine the slope:

                        slope = ( -2 - 3 ) / ( 6 - 1 )

                        slope = ( -5 ) / ( 5 )

                        slope = -1

- Yes, the given slope is incorrect it should be = -1

b.If the given point (1, 3) and the given slope are correct, what is the equation for the line? Give the  coordinates of another point on the line

- We will assume the point (1,3) lies on line with a slope = 3.

- We will use the slope-intercept equation of line:

                              y = slope*x + c

Where,      m : Slope

                 c : y-intercept

                             y = 3x + c

Using the given correct point to evaluate the y-intercept (c):

                             3 = 3*1 + c

                             c = 0

- The equation of line is,

                            y = 3x

- The origin (0,0) lies on the line y = 3x.

c. If the given points are correct for the line, what is the slope? Write an equation for the line

- We will assume the points (1, 3) and (6, -2) lies on line with a slope calculated in part (a) to be = -1.

- We will use the slope-intercept equation of line:

                              y = slope*x + c

Where,      m : Slope

                 c : y-intercept

                             y = -x + c

Using the given points to evaluate the y-intercept (c):

                             3 = -1 + c

                             c = 4

- The equation of line is,

                            y = -x + 4

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer: a) Length of wire to replace old one=9ft

b) Length of wire=3.09ft

Leftover wire=0.91ft

Step-by-step explanation: from the right angle triangle, Tan&=20/15

&=53.13°

Length of wire,x=cos 31.13=x/15

15cos31.13

X=9

b) Tan&=10/6

Tan^-110/6

&=59.05

Length= 6cos59.04

X=3.09

4-3.09=.91= leftover wire

A quality control technician works in a factory that produces computer monitors. Each day, she randomly selects monitors and tes
jeka94

Answer:

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the true proportion of monitors with dead pixels is greater than 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 300

p = 5% = 0.05

Alpha, α = 0.05

Number of dead pixels , x = 24

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis  

H_{0}: p = 0.05\\H_A: p > 0.05

This is a one-tailed(right) test.  

Formula:

\hat{p} = \dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{24}{300} = 0.08

z = \dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}

Putting the values, we get,

z = \displaystyle\frac{0.08-0.05}{\sqrt{\frac{0.05(1-0.05)}{300}}} = 2.384

Now, we calculate the p-value from excel.

P-value = 0.00856

Since the p-value is smaller than the significance level, we fail to accept the null hypothesis and reject it. We accept the alternate hypothesis.

Conclusion:

Thus, there is enough evidence to support the claim that the true proportion of monitors with dead pixels is greater than 5%.

Estimate the indicated probability by using normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. Estimate P(6)
lianna [129]

Answer:

P(6) = 0.6217

Step-by-step explanation:

To find P(6), which is the probability of getting a 6 or less, we will need to first calculate two things: the mean of the sample (also known as the "expected value") and the standard deviation of the sample.  

Mean = np

Here, "n" is the sample size and "p" is the probability of the outcome of interest, which could be getting a heads when a tossing a coin, for instanc

So, Mean = n × p = (18) ×(0.30) = 5.4

Next we we will find the standard deviation:

Standard Deviation = \sqrt{npq}

n = 18  and  p = 0.3   "q" is simply the probability of the other possible outcome (maybe getting a tails when flipping a coin), so   q = 1 - p

Standard Deviation =\sqrt{npq} = \sqrt{(18)(0.3)(0.7)}  

                                                            = 1.944

Now calculate the Z score for 6 successes.  

Z = ( of successes we're interested in - Mean) ÷ (Standard Deviation)

=(6-5.4)  ÷ (1.944) = 0.309

we have our Z-score, we look on the normal distribution and find the area of the curve to the left of a Z value of 0.309.  This is basically adding up all of the possibilities for getting less than or equal to 6 successes.  So, we get 0.6217.
