NEED HELP! The ski lift at Thunder Mountain called Devils Canyon is quite dangerous. Usually 2% of the skiers who attempt the ru
1 answer:
We will be using the binomial probability formula to solve the problem
The formula is given by ⁿCₓ (p)ˣ (1-p)ⁿ⁻ˣ
Where:
n = the number of trials = 100
x = the number of samples we are trying on = 3
p = the probability of success = 2% = 0.02
We can either calculate ⁿCₓ by using the scientific calculator using the
button or by doing it manually use 
P(3) = ¹⁰⁰C₃ (0.02)³ (1 - 0.02)¹⁰⁰⁻³
P(3) = ¹⁰⁰C₃ (0.02)³ (0.98)⁹⁸
P(3) = 0.182 (rounded to three decimal places)
Correct answer: option 3

Answer:
x-intercept:
A line that crosses the graph at x-axis.
i.e substitute y = 0 and solve for x.
As per the statement:
A biologist created the following graph to show the relationship between the temperature of water (x), in degrees Celsius, and the number of insect larvae (y) in the water
Given the graph:
Substitute y = 0 we have;
⇒
⇒
⇒
⇒
⇒
By zero product property we have;
x-20 =0 and x+10 = 0
⇒x = 20 and x = -10
Therefore, the x-intercept represents the water has no larvae at −10 degrees Celsius and 20 degrees Celsius.
