For the equation of the line of the form y = mx + b, m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept which 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 while "x" represents the independent variable which is the number of months or the age of the baby in months. We calculate the slope as follows:

slope = (11 - 9) / ( 4 - 0) = 2/4 = 0.5
at x = 0, it is said that the weight of the baby is 9 lbs so the value of b would be 9.

The equation of the line would be y = 0.5x + 9

A simple die is thrown 100 times and the number five appears 14 times. Find the experimental probability of throwing a five, giv
mario62 [17]

Answer:

The experimental probability of throwing a five is 0.087.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of trials (n) = 100

Number of times 5 appears (x) = 14

Let the event of occurrence of 5 be success and the probability represented by 'p'. So, all the other numbers occurrence is failure and its probability is represented as 'q'.

Probability of success is given as:

p=\frac{Number\ of\ favorable\ events}{Total\ number\ of\ outcomes}

Favorable event is occurrence of 5. So, its number is 1 as there is only one 5 in the die. Total outcomes are 6 as there are six numbers. So,

p=\frac{1}{6}

Now, probability of failure is given by the formula:

q=1-p=1-\frac{1}{6}=\frac{5}{6}

Now in order to find the experimental probability of 14 successes out of 100 trials, we apply Bernoulli's theorem which is given as:

P(x) = ^nC_xp^xq^{n-x}

Plug in all the given values and find the probability of 14 successes. This gives,

P(x=14)=^{100}C_{14}(\frac{1}{6})^{14}(\frac{5}{6})^{100-14}\\\\P(x=14)=0.087

Therefore, the experimental probability of throwing a five is 0.087.
