Answer:

T = 88 -(7/2000)A

Step-by-step explanation:

The table values have a constant difference of +2000 ft and -7 degrees, so the slope of the linear equation is -7/2000 degrees per ft. The temperature is 88 at an altitude of 0, so we can write the requested equation in slope-intercept form as ...

T = 88 -(7/2000)A

_____

The slope-intercept form of the equation for a line is ...

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. In this equation, y is the dependent variable and x is the independent variable. For our temperature equation, the dependent variable is T, and the independent variable is A.

The average monthly mortgage payment including principal and interest is $982 in the united states. if the standard deviation is

Aleonysh [2.5K]

The probability that the monthly payment is more than $1000 will be found as follows;
The payment is normally distributed, thus the z-score will be given by:
Z-score=(x-Mean)/(SD)
Mean=$982
SD=$180
Thus;
Z-score=(1000-982)/180=0.1
The probability associated with a z-score of 0.1 is 0.5398
Thus the probability that the monthly payment is more than $1000 will be:
P(x<1000)=1-0.5398=0.4602=46.02%

Johnny ran 3/4 of an hour and Angie ran 2/3 of an hour how much more did Johnny run

yawa3891 [41]

3/4 = 9/12
2/3 = 8/12

9/12 - 8/12 = 1/12

So Johnny ran for 1/12 of an hour longer than Angie.
