What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-4, -6) and (1, -6)? Write your answer in simplest form

Answers

Answer 1

The slope of the line that passes through the points (-4, -6) and (1, -6) is zero and hence the line is parallel to the x-axis.

What is slope?

The slope is the rate of change of the y-axis with respect to the x-axis.

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where

slope = m and y-intercept = b.

We know the greater the absolute value of a slope is the more steeper is its graph or rate of change is large.

We know slope(m) = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁).

Therefore, The slope of the line that passes through the points (-4, -6) and (1, -6) is,

m = (- 6 + 6)/(- 4 - 1).

m = - 0/5.

m = 0.

As the slope is equal to zero the line is parallel to the x-axis.

Researchers at the National Cancer Institute released the results of a study that investigated the effect of weed-killing herbicides on house pets. The randomly sampled 400 dogs from homes where an herbicide was used on a regular basis, diagnosing lymphoma in 230 of them. Of 200 dogs randomly sampled from homes where no herbicides were used, only 25 were found to have lymphoma. For this problem, let p1 be the population proportion of dogs that get lymphoma from homes where herbicides are used and p2 be the population proportion of dogs that get lymphoma from homes where herbicides are not used. Researchers are interested in learning about the difference in the proportion of cancer diagnoses between the two groups. What is the 95% confidence interval for the difference in the proportion of cancer diagnoses between the two groups

Answers

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the difference in the proportion of cancer diagnoses between the two groups is (0.3834, 0.5166).

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes 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.

The randomly sampled 400 dogs from homes where an herbicide was used on a regular basis, diagnosing lymphoma in 230 of them.

This means that:

[tex]p_h = \frac{230}{400} = 0.575, s_h = \sqrt{\frac{0.575*0.425}{400}} = 0.0247[/tex]

Of 200 dogs randomly sampled from homes where no herbicides were used, only 25 were found to have lymphoma.

This means that:

[tex]p_n = \frac{25}{200} = 0.125, s_n = \sqrt{\frac{0.125*0.875}{200}} = 0.0234[/tex]

Distribution of the difference:

[tex]p = p_h - p_n = 0.575 - 0.125 = 0.45[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_h^2+s_n^2} = \sqrt{0.0247^2 + 0.0234^2} = 0.034[/tex]

Confidence interval:

The confidence interval is:

[tex]p \pm zs[/tex]

In which

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

95% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].

The lower bound is [tex]0.45 - 1.96(0.034) = 0.3834[/tex]

The upper bound is [tex]0.45 + 1.96(0.034) = 0.5166[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval for the difference in the proportion of cancer diagnoses between the two groups is (0.3834, 0.5166).

How much money did the class collect in all?

Answers

Answer:

So you're given that 7% is $126, and you have to find 100%. In order to do this you could set up proportions. 

1) 126/7=x/100

Next you can cross multiply and you'll get:

2) 12600=7x

Now divide each side by 7

3)12600/7=7x/7

Donna wants to draw a right triangle. She wants the hypotenuse to be 1.5 inches long and one of the legs to be 1.2 inches long. Enter the length that she must use for the second leg to form a right triangle.

Answers

Answer:

0.9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides of right triangles follow the Pythagorean Theorem:

a² + b² = c²

"a" and "b" are the two shorter sides and "c" is the hypotenuse, the longest side.

Let's plug in what we know.

a² + b² = c²

(1.2)² + b² = (1.5)²

Let's solve the exponents.

1.44 + b² = 2.25

Subtract 1.44 from both sides.

b² = 0.81

Take the square root of both sides.

√b² = √0.81

b = 0.9

The second side will be 0.9 inches.

Answers

Answer:

115%

The final price of an item = $387

We need to find the percentage increase. It can be calculated as follows :

[tex]\%=\dfrac{\text{Change in price}}{\text{initial price}}\times 100[/tex]

Put all the values,

Which TWO scenarios can be represented by a ratio of 4 : 5?

The two scenarios that can be represented by a ratio 4:5 are

1. The ratio of fiction books to the non fiction books, if there are 4 fiction books to 5 non fiction books

2. The ratio of marker to crayon , if there are 4 markers and 5 crayons. ( option A and D)

What is ratio?

A ratio is an ordered pair of numbers a and b, written a / b where b does not equal 0. A proportion is an equation in which two ratios are set equal to each other. For example, if there is 1 boy and 3 girls you could write the ratio as: 1 : 3 (for every one boy there are 3 girls) 1 / 4 are boys and 3 / 4 are girls.

For a scenario that will give ratio of 4:5, it means the first entity will be 4 and the second entity will be 5.

Therefore the two statements that obey this in the option are

1. The ratio of fiction books to the non fiction books, if there are 4 fiction books to 5 non fiction books

2. The ratio of marker to crayon , if there are 4 markers and 5 crayons.

The members of a consulting firm rent cars from three rental agencies. It is estimated that 0.42 percent of cars come from agency 1, 0.08 percent of cars come from agency 2, and 0.5 percent of cars come from agency 3. It is also estimated that 0.08 percent of cars from agency 1 need a tune-up, 0.02 percent of cars from agency 2 need a tune-up, and 0.02 percent of cars from agency 3 need a tune-up. Answer the following questions, rounding your answers to two decimal places where appropriate.

Answers

The probability that a rental car delivered to the firm will need a tune-up is 0.05% and the conditional probability is 0.04%

How to determine the probabilities

The probability that a rental car delivered to the firm will need a tune-up

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

Agency 1 = 0.42%,   Tune up from agency 1 = 0.08%

Agency 2 = 0.08%,   Tune up from agency 2 = 0.02%

Agency 3 = 0.5%,    Tune up from agency 3 = 0.02%

Using total probability, we have the following equation

P(tune-up) = P(tune-up | agency 1) * P(agency 1) + P(tune-up | agency 2) * P(agency 2) + P(tune-up | agency 3) * P(agency 3)

Substitute the known values in the above equation, so, we have the following representation

P(tune-up) = 0.08% * 0.42% + 0.02% * 0.08% + 0.02% * 0.5%

Evaluate the sum of products

P(tune-up) = 0.000452

Express as percentage and approximate

P(tune-up) = 0.05%

(b) The probability that it came from agency 2

This is a conditional probability, and it calculated as

P(Agency 2| Tune up) = P(Tune up and Agency 2)/P(Tune up)

Substitute the known values in the above equation, so, we have the following representation

P(Agency 2| Tune up) = (0.02% * 0.08%)/0.0452%

Evaluate

P(Agency 2| Tune up) = 0.0003539823

Express as percentage

P(Agency 2| Tune up) = 0.03539823%

Approximate

P(Agency 2| Tune up) = 0.04%

So, the probability is 0.04%

On solving the provided question we can say that by logarithm the statement is true he is short.

what is logarithm?

The logarithm is a power's reciprocal in mathematics. Accordingly, the exponent by which b must be raised to obtain a number x equals the logarithm of that number in base b. For instance, since 1000 = 103, its base-10 logarithm is 3, or log10 = 3. As an illustration, the base 10 logarithm of 10 is 2, while the square of 10 is 100. Log 100 = 2. To answer a question like, For example, how many times must a base of 10 be multiplied by itself to achieve 1,000, a logarithm (or log) is the mathematical term utilized. The solution is 3 (1,000 = 10 10 10).
