Answer:

-36

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+10)/2 = -13

-13 times 2= -26

-26-10= -36

check

-36+10= -26

-26/2= -13

A line has a slope of -1/4 and passes through point (-5/4, 1) What is the equation of the line?

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

The line of the equation would be y = -1/4x + 11/16.

In order to find that, we'll put the ordered pair and the slope into slope intercept form. Then we can solve for the intercept.

y = mx + b
1 = -1/4(-5/4) + b
1 = 5/16 + b
11/16 = b

So then we put that in the equation with slope for the final equation.

A Rasmussen Reports survey of 1,000 US adults found that 42% believe raising the minimum wage will help the economy. Construct a

vitfil [10]

Answer:

(0.3798, 0.4602)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the true proportion of US adults who believe raising the minimum wage will help the economy. A point estimate for p is $\hat{p}=0.42$ and a good aproximation (because we have a large sample) for the standard deviation of $\hat{p}$ is $\sqrt{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})/n}=\sqrt{0.42(0.58)/1000}=0.0156$ . Therefore, a 99% confidence interval for p is given by $\hat{p}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}$ where $\alpha=0.01$ and $z_{\alpha/2}$ is the $\alpha/2$ th quantile of the standard normal distribution, so we have, $0.42\pm z_{0.005}0.0156$ , i.e., $0.42\pm(-2.5758)(0.0156)$ or equivalently (0.3798, 0.4602).
