Find the y-intercept of a line parallel to 8x – 2y = 12 and passes through the point (5, 3).

Answers

Answer:

-17

Step-by-step explanation:

8x -2y= 12

Divide the whole equation by 2:

4x -y= 6

Rewrite the equation into the slope-intercept form (y=mx+c, where m is the gradient while c is the y-intercept).

-y= -4x +6

y= 4x -6

Thus, gradient of given line= 4.

Since parallel lines have the same gradient, gradient of line= 4.

y= 4x +c

To find the y-intercept of the lone, substitute a pair of coordinates.

When x=5, y=3,

3= 4(5) +c

3= 20 +c

c= 3 -20

c= -17

Thus, the y-intercept of the line is -17.

A growth-mindset researcher plans to take an SRS of 200 teenagers from the population of teenagers in North America to see what proportion of teenagers sampled are pursuing a goal they have set for themselves. Suppose that 75% of teenagers in North America are pursuing a goal they have set for themselves. Let p represent the proportion of a sample of 200 teenagers in North America who are pursuing a goal they have set for themselves. What are the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of p?

Answers

Answer:

The mean of the sampling distribution of p is 0.75 and the standard deviation is 0.0306.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem:

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]

75% of teenagers in North America are pursuing a goal they have set for themselves.

This means that [tex]p = 0.75[/tex]

Sample of 200.

This means that [tex]n = 200[/tex].

What are the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of p?

By the Central Limit Theorem

Mean [tex]\mu = p = 0.75[/tex]

Standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{0.75*0.25}{200}} = 0.0306[/tex]

The mean of the sampling distribution of p is 0.75 and the standard deviation is 0.0306.

13) Find the values of x and y.

Answers

Answer:

x = 64°

y = 71°

Step-by-step explanation:

✔️x = 180 - 2(58) (isosceles triangle)

x = 180 - 116

x = 64°

✔️y + 45° + x = 180° (angles on a straight line)

y + 45° + 64° = 180° (substitution)

y + 109 = 180°

y = 180° - 109°

y = 71°

There are 10 years in 1 decade. Deron is 2 decades, 4 years, and 8 months old. His brother John is half as old. How old is John?

Answers

Answer:

John is 1 decade, 2 years, and 4 months old

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we knot that John is half as old we just have to divide Derons age by two, and we will do that by dividing the number of decades, a number of years, and a number of months by two, and so we get that John is...

(2/2) decades, (4/2) years, and (8/2) months old =

= 1 decades, 2 years, and 4 months old

John is 1 decades, 2 years, and 4 months years old.

What is Division method?

Division method is used to distributing a group of things into equal parts. Division is just opposite of multiplications.

For example, dividing 20 by 2 means splitting 20 into 2 equal groups of 10.

We have to given that;

There are 10 years in 1 decade.

And, Deron is 2 decades, 4 years, and 8 months old.

Since, His brother John is half as old.

Hence, Age of John is,

⇒ (2 decades, 4 years, and 8 months) / 2

⇒ 1 decades, 2 years, and 4 months

Thus, John is 1 decades, 2 years, and 4 months years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Shadow casted by tree [tex]= 15[/tex] feet

Angle of elevation of sun [tex]= 70[/tex] degrees

Tangent of angle of elevation is equal to the ration of height of tree and its shadow

tan [tex]70 = \frac{t}{16}[/tex]

Then the probability is 0.48 that each opposes the funding of interest groups.Call the three students A, B, and C.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P(ABC) = 0.110592[/tex]

[tex]P(ABC^c) = 0.119808[/tex]

[tex]P(AB^cC) = 0.119808[/tex]

[tex]P(A^cBC) = 0.119808[/tex]

[tex]P(AB^cC^c) = 0.129792[/tex]

[tex]P(A^cBC^c) = 0.129792[/tex]

[tex]P(A^cB^cC) = 0.129792[/tex]

[tex]P(A^cB^cC^c) = 0.140608[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]P(A) = P(B) = P(C) = 48\%[/tex]

Convert the probability to decimal

[tex]P(A) = P(B) = P(C) = 0.48[/tex]

Solving (a): P(ABC)

This is calculated as:

[tex]P(ABC) = P(A) * P(B) * P(C)[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]P(ABC) = 0.48*0.48*0.48[/tex]

[tex]P(ABC) = 0.110592[/tex]

Solving (b): [tex]P(ABC^c)[/tex]

This is calculated as:

[tex]P(ABC^c) = P(A) * P(B) * P(C^c)[/tex]

In probability:

[tex]P(C^c) = 1 - P(C)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]P(ABC^c) = P(A) * P(B) * (1 - P(C))[/tex]

[tex]P(ABC^c) = 0.48 * 0.48 * (1 - 0.48)[/tex]

[tex]P(ABC^c) = 0.48 * 0.48 * 0.52[/tex]

[tex]P(ABC^c) = 0.119808[/tex]

Solving (c): [tex]P(AB^cC)[/tex]

This is calculated as:

[tex]P(AB^cC) = P(A) * P(B^c) * P(C)[/tex]

[tex]P(AB^cC) = P(A) * [1 - P(B)] * P(C)[/tex]

[tex]P(AB^cC) = 0.48 * 0.52* 0.48[/tex]

[tex]P(AB^cC) = 0.119808[/tex]

Solving (d): [tex]P(A^cBC)[/tex]

This is calculated as:

[tex]P(A^cBC) = P(A^c) * P(B) * P(C)[/tex]

[tex]P(A^cBC) = [1-P(A)] *P(B) * P(C)[/tex]

[tex]P(A^cBC) = (1 - 0.48)* 0.48 * 0.48[/tex]

Pier 1 Imports is running a 10% sale on furniture. If Amanda spent $378.99 on furniture before tax, what was the price of the furniture before the discount and tax?

Answers

Answer:

$421.10

Step-by-step explanation:

If the discount is 10%, that means the sale price is 90% of the original price.

Write the equation that represents that:

378.99 = 0.9x. Solve for x. Divide both sides by 0.9

378.99/0.9 = 421.10

That is the price before the discount and tax.
