What’s a line equation passing through (14,-8) and (24,-3)

Nataly_w [17]

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{14}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-8})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{24}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-3}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-3}-\stackrel{y1}{(-8)}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{24}-\underset{x_1}{14}}}\implies \cfrac{-3+8}{10}\implies \cfrac{5}{10}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}$

$\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-8)}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{1}{2}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{14}) \\\\\\ y+8=\cfrac{1}{2}x-7\implies y=\cfrac{1}{2}x-15$

The number of phone calls that Actuary Ben receives each day has a Poisson distribution with mean 0.1 during each weekday and me

Dovator [93]

Answer:

There is a 0.73% probability that Ben receives a total of 2 phone calls in a week.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

$e = 2.71828$ is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given time interval.

The problem states that:

The number of phone calls that Actuary Ben receives each day has a Poisson distribution with mean 0.1 during each weekday and mean 0.2 each day during the weekend.

To find the mean during the time interval, we have to find the weighed mean of calls he receives per day.

There are 5 weekdays, with a mean of 0.1 calls per day.

The weekend is 2 days long, with a mean of 0.2 calls per day.

So:

$\mu = \frac{5(0.1) + 2(0.2)}{7} = 0.1286$

If today is Monday, what is the probability that Ben receives a total of 2 phone calls in a week?

This is $P(X = 2)$ . So:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-0.1286}*0.1286^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.0073$

There is a 0.73% probability that Ben receives a total of 2 phone calls in a week.

Please answer this correctly

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

The dependent variable is m

Step-by-step explanation:

A dependent variable is dependent on an independent variable. This variable is dependent on other variable that are measured . The dependent variable are expected to change as a result of the manipulation of the independent variables. Usually as the experiments changes the independent variable the dependent variable are observed and noted.

The independent variable is unaffected by the other variable you are measuring. The independent variable represent a quantity that is been manipulated in an experiment.

According to the question Jenny works as a server at Jefferson restaurant . The more table she is assigned to serve the more money she earns during a shift.

The independent variable is the number of table Jenny served because this is what she has control over.

The dependent variable is the amount of money Jenny earns because the amount of money she earns is dependent on the number of tables she served . Therefore the dependent variable is m

15 crackers weigh 69 grams. how many kilograms is this?

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

$0.069\ kg$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

1 kg=1,000 g

so

using proportion

Find out how many kilograms are 69 grams

Let

x -----> the weight in kg

$\frac{1}{1,000}\frac{kg}{g} =\frac{x}{69}\frac{kg}{g}\\\\x=\frac{69}{1,000}\\\\x=0.069\ kg$
