Answer:

a = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation for a straight line is y = mx+c, where m is the gradient/ slope, so m = -5. The first thing we need to do is find c, which we do by plugging in the x and y values that we already know: y = 7 and x = -2

7 = -5*(-2) + c

7 = 10 + c

c = 7-10 = -3

Now, we have the general equation of y = -5x -3 and we can use this to find a.

We'll treat a as x and y will be equal to 2:

2 = -5a -3

5 = -5a (Divide both sides by 5)

-a = 1 (now by -1)

a = -1

Is (0,2), (1.2), (2,2)(3,2) a function

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

This relationship is a function

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition a relation is defined as a function if and only if for each input value x there is only one output value y.

In this case we observe the following ordered pairs

(0.2), (1.2), (2.2) (3.2)

We see that each value x has only a value of y.

$x = 0,\ y = 2\\\\x = 1,\ y = 2\\\\x = 2,\ y = 2\\\\x = 3,\ y = 2$

Therefore this relationship is a function

Think about a population proportion that you may be interested in and propose a confidence interval problem for this parameter.

o-na [289]

Answer: The confidence interval would be (0.2928,0.3672).

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total number of vehicles = 432

Number of SUVs sold = 142

So, it becomes,

$\hat{p}=\dfrac{x}{n}=\dfrac{142}{432}=0.33$

At 90% confidence interval,

z = 1.645

So, the confidence interval would be

$\hat{p}\pm z\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}\\\\=0.33\pm 1.645\sqrt{\dfrac{0.33\times 0.67}{432}}\\\\=0.33\pm 0.0372\\\\=(0.33-0.0372,0.33+0.0372)\\\\=(0.2928,0.3672)$

Hence, the confidence interval would be (0.2928,0.3672).
