Given that the line y=ax+b passes through the points A(0; 3) and B(-2;7), how do I find the values of a and b?

Answers

Answer 1
First you have find the slope (a) in order to find the value of the y intercept (b).

To compute the slope, you simply have to find the difference of y coordinates and divide them by the difference of x coordinates:

a = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
a = (7-3)/(-2–0)
a = 4/-2
a = -2

To compute the y intercept denoted by b, we substitute the value of a with -2 in the formula and choose any point (x,y) and substitute their values in the formula as well. Like so:

I choose point A:

3 = (-2)(0) + b
3 = b

A store manager wants to estimate the proportion of customers who spend money in this store. How many customers are required for a random sample to obtain a margin of error of at most 0.075 with 80% confidence?

Answers

The 73 customers who spend money in this store if a MOE of at most 0.075 with 80% confidence.

What is the margin of error(MOE)?

MOE is an error that provides an estimate of the percentage of errors in real statistical data.

The formula for finding the MOE:

MOE = z x s/√n

Where ,

Z = the z-score at the confidence interval

s =  the standard deviation

n = the number of samples.

We have p = 0.50 MOE = 0.075

Z = 1.282 at 80% confidence

0.075 = 1.282 x √0.50(1- 0.50)/ n

After solving,

n = (0.5)(0.5)/(0.0585)²

n = 73

Thus, the 73 customers who spend money in this store if a MOE of at most 0.075 with 80% confidence.

million of which 23% are under age 18, and the fact that about half of American adults play the
lottery in any given year, about how much does the average American spend on lotteries each
year?

Answers

Based on the statistics, an average American spends $299.7 on lotteries each year

How to determine the amount an American spend on lotteries?

The population is given as:

Population = 325 million

23% are under the age of 18.

This means that this category is not eligible to play lotteries.

The eligible population is:

Eligible = (1 - 23%) * 325 million

Evaluate

Eligible = 250.25 million

The total amount is given as:

Total = $75 billion

So, the amount spent by each is:

Amount = Total/Eligible

This gives

Amount = $75 billion/250.25 million

Evaluate

Amount = $299.7

Hence, an average American spends $299.7 on lotteries each year

At the end of the current year, the accounts receivable account has a debit balance of $844,000 and sales for the year total $9,560,000.
a. The allowance account before adjustment has a debit balance of $11,400. Bad debt expense is estimated at 1/4 of 1% of sales.
b. The allowance account before adjustment has a debit balance of $11,400. An aging of the accounts in the customer ledger indicates estimated doubtful accounts of
$36,500.
c. The allowance account before adjustment has a credit balance of $4,700. Bad debt expense is estimated at 1/2 of 1% of sales.
d. The allowance account before adjustment has a credit balance of $4,700. An aging of the accounts in the customer ledger indicates estimated doubtful accounts of

Answers

Based on the account receivable balance and the adjustments, the adjusting entries for doubtful debt under various assumptions is:

a. $23,900b. $47,900c. $47, 800d. $34,300

What are the entries for doubtful debt?

a. Bad debt is 1/4 of 1% of sales:

= 9,560,000 x 0.25%

= $23,900

b. Debit balance of $11,400:

= Estimated doubtful accounts + Debit balance

= 36,500 + 11,400

= $47,900

c. Credit balance of $4,700 and 1/2 of 1% of sales:

= Sales x 0.50%

= 9,560,000 x 0.50%

= $47,800

d. Credit balance of $4,700 and estimated doubtful of $39,000:

= Estimated doubtful accounts - credit balance

The nth term of the arithmetic sequence 300,250,200 is 350-50n if the common ratio is -50

What is a sequence?

It is defined as the systematic way of representing the data that follows a certain rule of arithmetic.

We have an arithmetic sequence:

300,250,200

The first term a = 300

Common difference d = 250-300 = -50

nth term:

A(n) = a + (n-1)d

A(n) = 300 + (n-1)(-50)

A(n) = 300 -50n + 50

A(n) = 350—50n
