Slope
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (10 - 7)/(2 --1)
m = 3/3
m = 1

To find the equation
y = mx + b
m is slope
y = 1x + b
plug in one of the equations to solve for b
10 = 1(2) + b
10 = 2 + b
subtract 2 from both sides
8 = b

The equation is
y = 1x + 8
or you can write it as
y = x + 8

Hope this helps

The diameters of a circle is 7m. Find its area to the nearest tenth?? Help please

Lady bird [3.3K]

Area = $\pi r^{2}$

The diameter is double the length of the radius

7 ÷ 2 = 3.5

3.5 × 3.5 = 12.25

$12.25\pi$ = 38.4845100064751

38.4845100064751 rounded to the nearest tenth is 38.5

According to the National Bridge Inspection Standard (NBIS), public bridges over 20 feet in length must be inspected and rated e

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

1.80% probability that in a random sample of 12 major Denver bridges, at least 4 will have an inspection rating of 4 or below in 2020.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each bridge, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it has rating of 4 or below, or it does not. The probability of a bridge being rated 4 or below is independent from other bridges. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

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

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

For the year 2020, the engineers forecast that 9% of all major Denver bridges will have ratings of 4 or below.

This means that $p = 0.09$

Use the forecast to find the probability that in a random sample of 12 major Denver bridges, at least 4 will have an inspection rating of 4 or below in 2020.

Either less than 4 have a rating of 4 or below, or at least 4 does. The sum of the probabilities of these events is 1.

$P(X < 4) + P(X \geq 4) = 1$
