$\bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}}
{\stackrel{slope}{-\cfrac{1}{9}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{-\cfrac{9}{1}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{+\cfrac{9}{1}}\implies 9}$

The difference of two numbers is 15. The larger number is 1 more than 3 times the smaller number. What are the two numbers?

loris [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let S = the smaller number.

"The larger number is 1 more than 3 times the smaller number."

The larger number is 3S + 1.

The difference between the numbers is 15, so the larger number minus the smaller number equals 15.

3S + 1 - S = 15

2S + 1 = 15

2S = 14

S = 7

The smaller number is 7.

larger number = 3S + 1 = 3(7) + 1 = 21 + 1 = 22

The larger number is 22.

Find the slope-intercept form of an equation for the line that passes through (–1, 2) and is parallel to y = 2x – 3.

sammy [17]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

$y = mx + b$

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut point with the y axis.

By definition, if two straight lines are parallel then their slopes are equal. Thus, the slope of the line sought will be $m = 2.$

$y = 2x + b$

We substitute the given point to find b:

$2 = 2 (-1) + b\\2 = -2 + b\\2 + 2 = b\\b = 4$

Finally the line is:

$y = 2x + 4$

Answer:

$y = 2x + 4$

In March 2015, a Nielsen global online survey "found that consumers are increasingly willing to pay more for socially responsibl

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

For this case the parameter of interest is given by:

$p$ who represent the true proportion of respondents said that they were willing to pay more for products and services from companies who are committed to positive social and environmental impact

For this case we have an estimation given for this parameter. The estimation comes from a sample of 30000 people selected in 60 countries and they got:

$\hat p = 0.66$

This value represent the best estimator for the true proportion since is an unbiased estimator of the real parameter:

$E(\hat p) = p$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case the parameter of interest is given by:

$p$ who represent the true proportion of respondents said that they were willing to pay more for products and services from companies who are committed to positive social and environmental impact

$\hat p = 0.66$

This value represent the best estimator for the true proportion since is an unbiased estimator of the real parameter:

$E(\hat p) = p$

For this case if we want to test if the population proportion is equal to an specified value we can use the one sample z test for a proportion:

Null hypothesis: $p=p_0$

Alternative hypothesis: $p \neq p_o$

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitc, and the is given by:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion $\hat p$ is significantly different from a hypothesized value $p_o$ .
