At Martin Nature Center, the park ranger was showing Mrs. Rhames' class a comparison of a tree's age and the diameter of the tre

e trunk in inches.
The ranger showed them one oak tree that was 1 year old. It had a trunk diameter of 4 inches. Another oak tree was 10 years old. It had a trunk diameter of 25 inches.

Assuming a linear equation fits the situation, what would be the equation of that line?

If x is the age and y is the diameter of the trunk, write the equation:
ax+b=y

We must solve for a and b with the given information.

If (x, y) is (1, 4), we have:

a+b=4

If (x, y) is (10, 25), we have:

10a+b=25

Multiply the first equation by 10 to get:

10a+10b=40

Subtract the second equation from this to get:

9b=25

Thus b=25/9.  a=4-25/9=11/9, so our equation is 11x/9+25/9=y.

Which expression is equivalent to 15a^8b^4/5a^4b?<br> 3a^2b^4<br> 3a^4b^3<br> 10a^4b^3<br> 10a^4b^4
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

3 a^12 b^5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

(15 a^8 b^4 a^4 b)/5

15/5 = (5×3)/5 = 3:

3 a^8 b^4 a^4 b

3 a^8 b^4 a^4 b = 3 a^(8 + 4) b^(4 + 1):

3 a^(8 + 4) b^(4 + 1)

4 + 1 = 5:

3 a^(8 + 4) b^5

8 + 4 = 12:

Answer: 3 a^12 b^5

Before every​ flight, the pilot must verify that the total weight of the load is less than the maximum allowable load for the ai
ollegr [7]

Answer:

The probability that the aircraft  is  overload = 0.9999

Yes , The pilot has to be take strict action .

Step-by-step explanation:

P.S - The exact question is -

Given - Before every​ flight, the pilot must verify that the total weight of the load is less than the maximum allowable load for the aircraft. The aircraft can carry 37 ​passengers, and a flight has fuel and baggage that allows for a total passenger load of 6,216 lb. The pilot sees that the plane is full and all passengers are men. The aircraft will be overloaded if the mean weight of the passengers is greater than 6216/37 = 168 lb. Assume that weight of men are normally distributed with a mean of 182.7 lb and a standard deviation of 39.6.

To find - What is the probability that the aircraft is​ overloaded ?

         Should the pilot take any action to correct for an overloaded aircraft ?

Proof -

Given that,

Mean, μ = 182.7

Standard Deviation, σ = 39.6

Now,

Let X be the Weight of the men

Now,

Probability that the aircraft is loaded be

P(X > 168 ) = P(\frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} > \frac{168 - \mu}{\sigma} )

                 = P( z > \frac{168 - 182.7}{39.6} )

                 = P( z > -0.371)

                 = 1 - P ( z ≤ -0.371 )

                 = 1 - P( z > 0.371)

                 = 1 - 0.00010363

                 = 0.9999

⇒P(X > 168) = 0.9999

As the probability of weight overload = 0.9999

So, The pilot has to be take strict action .
