Answer: k=2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. As you can see in the graph, when x increases, y also increases at the same rate, therefore, it is a direct proportion that has the following form

$y=kx$

2. Choose one of the points shown in the graph, substitute it into the expression and solve for k, which is the constant of proportionality, as following:

$10=k*4\\k=2.5$

<u>Answer:</u>

2.5

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

We are given a graph with a positive slope where the value of y increases when the value of x increases.

For the given graph, we are to find the constant of proportionality of y to x which is the slope of the given line.

We know the formula of the slope = $\frac{y_2-y_1} {x_2-x_1}$

Substituting the given values in the formula:

$\frac{15-10}{6-4} = \frac{5}{2} = 2.5$

Suppose that 40 percent of the drivers stopped at State Police checkpoints in Storrs on Spring Weekend show evidence of driving

lesantik [10]

Answer:

a) 0.778

b) 0.9222

c) 0.6826

d) 0.3174

e) 2 drivers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sample size, n = 5

P = 40% = 0.4

a) Probability that none of the drivers shows evidence of intoxication.

$P(x=0) = ^nC_x P^x (1-P)^n^-^x$

$P(x=0) = ^5C_0 (0.4)^0 (1-0.4)^5^-^0$

$P(x=0) = ^5C_0 (0.4)^0 (0.60)^5$

$P(x=0) = 0.778$

b) Probability that at least one of the drivers shows evidence of intoxication would be:

P(X ≥ 1) = 1 - P(X < 1)

$= 1 - P(X = 0)$

$= 1 - ^5C_0 (0.4)^0 * (0.6)^5$

$= 1 - 0.0778$

$= 0.9222$

c) The probability that at most two of the drivers show evidence of intoxication.

P(x≤2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)

$^5C_0 (0.4)^0 (0.6)^5 + ^5C_1 (0.4)^1 (0.6)^4 + ^5C_2 (0.4)^2 (0.6)^3$

$= 0.6826$

d) Probability that more than two of the drivers show evidence of intoxication.

P(x>2) = 1 - P(X ≤ 2)

$= 1 - [^5C_0 (0.4)^0 (0.6)^5 + ^5C_1 (0.4)^1 (0.6)^4 + ^5C_2 * (0.4)^2 (0.6)^3]$

$= 1 - 0.6826$

$= 0.3174$

e) Expected number of intoxicated drivers.

To find this, use:

Sample size multiplied by sample proportion

n * p

= 5 * 0.40

= 2

Expected number of intoxicated drivers would be 2
