Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if y-intercept is 8, means when x = 0, y = 8

Sholpan [36]

Answer and explanation:

Given : A driving exam consists of 29 multiple-choice questions. Each of the 29 answers is either right or wrong. Suppose the probability that a student makes fewer than 6 mistakes on the exam is 0.26 and that the probability that a student makes from 6 to 20 (inclusive) mistakes is 0.53.

Let X be the number of mistake

$P(X$

$P(6\leq X\leq 20)=0.53$

To find : The probability of each of the following outcomes.

a) A student makes more than 20 mistakes

i.e. $P(X>20)$

$P(X>20)=1-P(X\leq 20)$

$P(X>20)=1-(P(X\leq 5)+P(6\leq X\leq 20))$

$P(X>20)=1-(0.26+0.53)$

$P(X>20)=1-(0.79)$

$P(X>20)=0.21$

b. A student makes 6 or more mistakes

i.e. $P(X\geq 6)=1-P(X$

$P(X\geq 6)=1-0.26$

$P(X\geq 6)=0.74$

c. A student makes at most 20 mistakes

i.e. $P(X\leq 20)=1-P(X>20)$

Using 'a' part $P(X>20)=0.21$

$P(X\leq 20)=1-0.21$

$P(X\leq 20)=0.79$

d. Which two of these three events are complementary?

The complement of an event happening is the exact opposite: the probability of it not happening.

According to definition,

Option a and c are complementary events.

What it means to have a correlation in a scatterplot

-BARSIC- [3]

Scatter plots are similar to line graphs in that they use horizontal and vertical axes to plot data points. However, they have a very specific purpose. Scatter plots show how much one variable is affected by another. The relationship between two variables is called their correlation .
