Write the equation of a line in slope intercept form that passes through the two points. 4,-1 and 6,-7

Answers

Answer 1

A line has an equation of,

[tex]y=mx+n[/tex].

m is called a slope

n is called y-intercept

We are also given two points [tex](x_1,y_1)=(4,-1),(x_2,y_2)=(6,-7)[/tex].

We begin with computing the slope,

[tex]m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{-7-(-1)}{6-4}=\frac{-7+1}{2}=\frac{-6}{2}=\boxed{-3}[/tex]

We have computed the slope m and our equation is almost done,

[tex]y=-3x+n[/tex]

Next step is to find out what y-intercept n is. I will use point [tex](4,-1)[/tex] and insert x and y it into already known equation, then solve for n,

[tex]-1=-3(4)+n[/tex]

[tex]-1=-12+n\implies n=\boxed{11}[/tex]

The reason I can insert coordinates of a point as x and y is because this particular point is in the line described by equation,

[tex]\boxed{y=-3x+11}[/tex]

Hope this helps. :)

Derive the explicit rule for the pattern: 3, 0, - 3, - 6, - 9, ...

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a1 = 3

d = -3

an = a1 + (n - 1)*d

an = a1 + (n - 1)*-3

Try it

Let n = 5

a5 = 3 + (5 - 1)*-3

a5 = 3 + 4*-3

a5 = 3 - 12

a5 = - 9 which is exactly what it should be.

The interesting one to try is n = 2

a2 = a1 + (2 - 1)*-3

a3 = 3  + 1(-3)

a3 = 3 - 3

a3 =0

Which is exactly what the second term is. It's interesting because you would never guess that 0 is what you get.

There are 365 ways of forming an executive Committee of four in a social club consisting of 15 members

Understanding Permutation and Combination

If a particular man must be in the committee, we can choose the remaining 3 members from the remaining 14 members. The number of ways to choose 3 members from 14 is given by the combination:

14Cr3 = [tex]\frac{14!}{3! 11!}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{14x13x12}{3x2x1}[/tex] = 364

Answers

The slope of the line is 6, meaning that you can eliminate A,C. Since the point slope formula is y-y1=m(x-x1) you just need to see if the points are correct.

B. (3,9)
D. (1,-3)

While these do contain one point, substitute the coordinates to see which contain both.

B.

(1,-3): -3-9=6(1-3): -12=-12

Police estimate that 25% of drivers drive without their seat belts. If they stop 6 drivers at random, find theprobability that more than 4 are wearing their seat belts.

Answers

Answer:

%17.80

Step-by-step explanation:

17.8% is the probability that more than 4 are wearing their seat belts.

What is Probability?

It is a branch of mathematics that deals with the occurrence of a random event.

Given that Police estimate that 25% of drivers drive without their seat belts.

If they stop 6 drivers at random we need to find the probability that more than 4 are wearing their seat belts.

For each driver stopped, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are wearing their seatbelts, or they are not.

he drivers are chosen at random, which mean that the probability of a driver wearing their seatbelts is independent from other drivers.

Police estimate that​ 25% of drivers drive without their seat belts.

This means that 75% wear their seatbelts, so P=0.75

If they stop 6 drivers at​ random, find the probability that all of them are wearing their seat belts.

[tex]P(X=x)=C_{n,x} p^{x} (1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X=6)=C_{6,6} 0.75^{6} (1-0.75)^{0} =0.1780[/tex]

Hence, 17.8% is the probability that more than 4 are wearing their seat belts.

In an accelerated failure test, components are operated under extreme conditions so that a substantial number will fail in a rather short time. In such a test involving two types of microchips, 580 chips manufactured by an existing process were tested, and 125 of them failed. Then, 780 chips manufactured by a new process were tested, and 130 of them failed. Find a 90% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of failures for chips manufactured by the two processes. (Round the final answers to four decimal places.) The 90% confidence interval is

Answers

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval is (0.0131, 0.0845).

Step-by-step explanation:

Before finding the confidence interval, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

Old process:

125 out of 580, so:

[tex]p_O = \frac{125}{580} = 0.2155[/tex]

[tex]s_O = \sqrt{\frac{0.2155*0.7845}{580}} = 0.0171[/tex]

New process:

130 out of 780. So

[tex]p_N = \frac{130}{780} = 0.1667[/tex]

[tex]s_N = \sqrt{\frac{0.1667*0.8333}{780}} = 0.0133[/tex]

Distribution of the difference:

[tex]p = p_O - p_N = 0.2155 - 0.1667 = 0.0488[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_O^2+s_N^2} = \sqrt{0.0171^2 + 0.0133^2} = 0.0217[/tex]

Confidence interval:

[tex]p \pm zs[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

90% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.1[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.645[/tex].

The lower bound of the interval is:

[tex]p - zs = 0.0488 - 1.645*0.0217 = 0.0131[/tex]

The upper bound of the interval is:

[tex]p + zs = 0.0488 + 1.645*0.0217 = 0.0845[/tex]

The 90% confidence interval is (0.0131, 0.0845).

f(x) = 2x^2 + 6x + 2

Answers

Answer:

-3/2 ±1/2 sqrt(5) = x

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x^2 + 6x + 2

Set the function equal to 0

0 = 2x^2 + 6x + 2

Factor out 2

0 = 2(x^2 + 3x + 1)

Divide by 2

0 = (x^2 + 3x + 1)

Subtract 1 from each side

-1 = x^2 +3x

Complete the square by dividing the x coefficient by 2 and then squaring

(3/2)^2 = 9/4

-1 +9/4 = x^2 +3x+9/4

-4/4+9/4 = (x+3/2) ^2

5/4 = (x+3/2) ^2

Taking the square root of each side

± sqrt(5/4) = sqrt( (x+3/2) ^2)

±1/2 sqrt(5) =  (x+3/2)

Subtract 3/2 from each side

-3/2 ±1/2 sqrt(5) = x
