Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Prob at each second, a mosquito lands on your neck =0.5

Prob it bites/it lands = 0.2

Prob it does not bite/it lands = 0.8

Hence in one second prob for getting a bite = 0.5(0.2) = 0.01

i.e. 1/100 chance of getting bitten in one second

In 100 seconds number of bites =1

Expected time between successive bites = 100

Which equation shows y= −1/2x + 4 in standard form?
VladimirAG [237]
Y = -(1/2)x + 4

y + (1/2)x =4

(1/2)x + y = 4

Multiply both sides by 2

2*(1/2)x + 2*y = 2*4

x + 2y = 8

Option B.

Micheal was asked to give examples of the identity property of addition and identity multiplication. Below are his answers.
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

identity property of addition-

a+0=a

identity property of multiplication-

a*1=a

Step-by-step explanation:

i cant give u an exact answer as u didnt give Micheals answers so i just gave some examples about what addition and multiplication identity property should look like. Identity property's concept is to keep the same identity. Basically, "a" shouldnt change. In addition, to keep a the same all u hv to do is add 0 as anything plus 0 is the same. for multiplication, just multiply by 1. Hope this helps!!

C because if the line Q is 1,5 and 1,8, it would have to be a vertical line, as the X axis doesn’t change. As i know, a vertical line always has a slope of 0, and a horizontal line (which the x-axis is) always has an undefined slope.
