Answer:

y = 0.75x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A mother gives birth to a 9 pound baby. Every 4 months, the baby gains 3 pounds. If x is the age of the baby in months, then y is the weight of the baby in pounds. Find an equation of a line in the form y = mx + b that describes the baby's weight.

y = ________________

Solve:

For the equation of the line of the form y = mx + b:

'm' which is the slope of the line

' b' which is the y-intercept and that is the value of y when x is equal to zero.

The slope is the rate of change of y per change in x.

"y" would represent the dependent variable which is the weight of the baby and "x" represents the independent variable which is the number of months or the age of the baby in months.

At birth represents the beginning of time for the baby. Lets call this month zero. Hence,

x = 0 y = 9 ⇒ at birth

x = 4 y = 12

x = 8 y = 15

x = 12 y = 18

Now we find the slope between each point. Since the common difference of y is 3 and the common difference in x is 4, the slope will be

Slope = y/x = 3/4

Therefore, the equation of the line that represents this relationship is

y = (3 / 4)x + 9

y = 0.75x + 9

question 20

40 gallons, 12 concentrate, 28 water

this is a fraction of 12/28

simplification: (12) divided by 12 / (28) divided by 12

1/2

1 part concentrate 2 parts water per each of the 40 total gallons.

so color in 33% for concentrate and 66% water

I am totally not wrong :D:D:D:D

12% of children are nearsighted, but this condition often is not detected until they go to kindergarten. A school district tests

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

There is a 34.60% probability that 0 or 1 of them is nearsighted.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each children, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are nearsighted, or they are not. This means that we can solve this problem using the binomial probability distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem, we have that:

12% of children are nearsighted. This means that $p = 0.12$ .

A school district tests all incoming kindergarteners' vision. In a class of 18 kindergarten students, what is the probability that 0 or 1 of them is nearsighted?

There are 18 students, so $n = 18$
