Answer: Our required probability is 0.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of window seats = 12

Number of aisle seats = 8

Total number of seats = 12+8 = 20

According to question, the next person to buy a ticket will be assigned to one of those seats.

Probability that the next person will be assigned to an aisle seat is given by

\dfrac{\text{Number of aisle seats}}{\text{Total number of seats}}\\\\=\dfrac{8}{20}\\\\=\dfrac{2}{5}\\\\=0.4

Hence, our required probability is 0.4.

What is the equaiton of the line that goes through the point (6,-1) and is parallel to the line represented by the equautions y=
mixas84 [53]

parallel lines have the same slope


The slope-intercept form of a linear equatio is y=mx+b, where m stands for the "slope of the line" and b stands for the "y-intercept of the line"


They give you the equation y= -5/6x+3 Notice this is already on the slope-intercept form, so in this case the slope is -5/6 and the y-intercept is 3


You want an equation of the line that is parallel to the given line. The slopes must be the same, so m=-5/6


So far we have y=-5/6x + b

We don't have b yet but that can be found using the given point (6,-1) which tells you that "x is 6 when y is -1"


Replace that on the equation y=-5/6x + b and you get

-1 = (-5/6)(6) + b

-1 = -5 +b

4 = b

b = 4


We found b, or the y-intercept


Go back to the equation y = -5/6 x + b and replace this b with the b we just found


y = -5/6x + 4

Flying to Kimpala with a tail wind a plane averaged 158km/hr. On the return trip the plane only average 112km/hr. While flying b
lora16 [44]

The speed of wind and speed of plane in still air  are  23  and  135 km/h respectively.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let the speed of wind and speed of plane in still air  are  w  and  p km/h respectively.  

The effective speed on onward journey was  

p+w=158  ................(1)

The effective speed on return journey was  

p-w=112 ..............(2)

Adding equation (1) and equation (2) we get,  

⇒ (p+w)+(p-w) = 158+112

⇒ 2p = 270

⇒ p = 135

Putting value of p = 135 in p+w=158 we get:

⇒ p+w=158

⇒ 135+w=158

⇒ w=23

Therefore ,The speed of wind and speed of plane in still air  are  23  and  135 km/h respectively.

If x is a positive integer, what is the length of the hypotenuse triangle C?
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

c = 12.73

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

9^2 + 9^2 = c^2

81 + 81 = c^2

162 = c^2

c = \sqrt{162}

c = 12.7279221

c = 12.73
