Use the ordered pairs (5,66)(5,66) and (7,88)(7,88) to find the equation of a line that approximates the data. Express your answer in slope-intercept form. (If necessary, round the slope to the nearest hundredth and the y-intercept to the nearest whole number.)
You have chosen three breeds of chicken for your farm after studying their egg-laying capabilities. Of the total of 50 chickens, 10 will be White Leghorns, 30 will be Goldlines, and 10 will be Rhode Island Reds. The Goldlines and the Rhode Island Reds lay brown eggs, and the White Leghorns lay white eggs.
You also have this data on the average number of eggs laid per year by each breed:
White Leghorn: 300 eggs per year
Goldline: 320 eggs per year
Rhode Island Red: 220 eggs per year
If you pick a chicken at random, what is the probability of picking a chicken of each breed? What is that chicken's average yearly egg yield?
Breed
Probability of a Chicken in the Flock Being this Breed
Average Number of Eggs per Year
Goldline
Rhode Island Red
White Leghorn
Use this knowledge of expected values to find how many eggs, on average, you can expect from each chicken you own in its first year of prime egg-laying ability.
You find that many people like brown eggs. How many…
Step 1: State the null and alternative hypotheses.

Ha: The ethnic distribution of AIDS cases in the county is different from the county's ethnic distribution in general. ♥
Part 2 of 4
Step 2: Assuming the nulI hypothesis is true, determine the features of the distribution used
to perform the goodness-of-fit test.
To perform a goodness-of-fit test for this problem, use a chi-square
distribution with
v degrees of freedom.
