Answer:

x - 3y = 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the point-slope form of the equation of a line:

y - y1 = m(x - x1) where m = the slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line.

So substituting the given values:

y - (-2) = 1/3(x - 2)

y + 2 = 1/3x - 2/3 Multiply through by 3:

3y + 6 = x - 2

x - 3y = 6 + 2

x - 3y = 8 <---- Standard Form.

Using the binomial distribution, the probabilities are given as follows:

0.3675 = 36.75% probability that more than 4 weigh more than 20 pounds.

0.1673 = 16.73% probability that fewer than 3 weigh more than 20 pounds.

Since P(X > 7) < 0.05, it would be unusual if more than 7 of them weigh more than 20 pounds.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.

n is the number of trials.

p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

The values of the parameters for this problem are:

n = 10, p = 0.4.

The probability that more than 4 weigh more than 20 pounds is:

$P(X > 4) = 1 - P(X \leq 4)$

In which:

$P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)$

Then:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.4)^{0}.(0.6)^{10} = 0.0061$

$P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.4)^{1}.(0.6)^{9} = 0.0403$

$P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.4)^{2}.(0.6)^{8} = 0.1209$

$P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.4)^{3}.(0.6)^{7} = 0.2150$

$P(X = 4) = C_{10,4}.(0.4)^{4}.(0.6)^{6} = 0.2502$

Hence:

$P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.0061 + 0.0403 + 0.1209 + 0.2150 + 0.2502 = 0.6325$

$P(X > 4) = 1 - P(X \leq 4) = 1 - 0.6325 = 0.3675$

0.3675 = 36.75% probability that more than 4 weigh more than 20 pounds.

The probability that fewer than 3 weigh more than 20 pounds is:

P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0061 + 0.0403 + 0.1209 = 0.1673

0.1673 = 16.73% probability that fewer than 3 weigh more than 20 pounds.

For more than 7, the probability is:

$P(X > 7) = P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 8) = C_{10,8}.(0.4)^{8}.(0.6)^{2} = 0.0106$

$P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.4)^{9}.(0.6)^{1} = 0.0016$

$P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.4)^{10}.(0.6)^{0} = 0.0001$

Since P(X > 7) < 0.05, it would be unusual if more than 7 of them weigh more than 20 pounds.

The altitude of an equilateral triangle is 22 inches. Find the perimeter of the equilateral triangle. Leave answer as a simplifi

torisob [31]

The perimeter of the equilateral triangle will be 76.2 in

<u>Explanation:</u>

Altitude of an equilateral triangle, H = 22 in

Perimeter, p = ?

Let a be the side of the triangle

We know:

$H = \frac{a\sqrt{3} }{2} \\\\22 = \frac{a\sqrt{3} }{2} \\\\a = 25.4 in$

Perimeter = 3a

P = 3 X 25.4 in

P = 76.2 in
