Answer:
The x-intercept will tell you how many seconds have passed before Dante lost sight of the rock.
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem specifies that the function d(s) will model the depth in feet of a rock that Dante dropped into a lake s seconds after he lost sight of the rock.
In this case we are using an s instead of the x, so the x-intercept will represent a given time. We can find the x-intercept by setting the function equal to zero, like this:
-5s-15=0
when solving for s we get:
s=-3
This means that Dante dropped the ball into a lake 3 seconds before he lost sight of the rock. This is what the negative stands for, some time in the past.
So the x-intercept tells us the time it took for Dante to lost sight of the rock.
Answer:
0.1426 = 14.26% probability that at least one of the births results in a defect.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each birth, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it results in a defect, or it does not. The probability that a birth results in a defect is independent of any other birth. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
In which is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
And p is the probability of X happening.
The proportion of U.S. births that result in a birth defect is approximately 1/33 according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
This means that
A local hospital randomly selects five births.
This means that
What is the probability that at least one of the births results in a defect?
This is:
In which
0.1426 = 14.26% probability that at least one of the births results in a defect.
