The data table represents the distance between a well-known lighthouse and a cruise ship over time. The cruise ship is travellin

g at uniform speed. Which equation represents the distance (y) from the lighthouse, based on the number of hours (x)?
Number of Hours Distance from Lighthouse
(in oceanic miles)
2 53
4 95.5
6 138
8 180.5
10 223
12 265.5
14 308
16 350.5


y = 42.5x + 10.5
y = 10.5x + 32
y = 21.5x + 10.5
y = 12.25x + 28.5
y = 12.5x + 10.5

Find the velocity first, the "slope".

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(95.5-53)/(4-2)

m=21.25  ?  Your equations are wrong, I'll double check with another set of points...

m=(350.5-308)/(16-14)

m=21.25  LOL, yep none of your lines has the correct slope.

Anyway...

y=21.25x+b, using any point we can solve for the y-intercept, or "b", (2, 53)

53=21.25(2)+b

53=42.5+b

10.5=b so the distance to the lighthouse as a function of time is:

y=21.25x+10.5

So essentially, you should fire your teacher or burn that book you are using :)

frez [133]

Answer: B.

Step-by-step explanation: Mr. Bates made the pretzel 35% SMALLER. That means that the remains of the pretzel is 65% of the original 100% of the pretzel. Therefore, the answer is B.

When referring to the normal probability distribution, there is not just one; there is a "family" of normal probability distribu
pishuonlain [190]
<span>A probability distribution is formed from all possible outcomes of a random process (for a random variable X) and the probability associated with each outcome. Probability distributions may either be discrete (distinct/separate outcomes, such as number of children) or continuous (a continuum of outcomes, such as height). A probability density function is defined such that the likelihood of a value of X between a and b equals the integral (area under the curve) between a and b. This probability is always positive. Further, we know that the area under the curve from negative infinity to positive infinity is one. The normal probability distribution, one of the fundamental continuous distributions of statistics, is actually a family of distributions (an infinite number of distributions with differing means (ÎĽ) and standard deviations (Ď). Because the normal distribution is a continuous distribution, we can not calculate exact probability for an outcome, but instead we calculate a probability for a range of outcomes (for example the probability that a random variable X is greater than 10). The normal distribution is symmetric and centered on the mean (same as the median and mode). While the x-axis ranges from negative infinity to positive infinity, nearly all of the X values fall within +/- three standard deviations of the mean (99.7% of values), while ~68% are within +/-1 standard deviation and ~95% are within +/- two standard deviations. This is often called the three sigma rule or the 68-95-99.7 rule. The normal density function is shown below (this formula won’t be on the diagnostic!)</span>

One card is selected at random from a deck of card. Determine the probability that the card selected is not a 4
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

12/13

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes over the total number of outcomes.

Assuming that this is a standard deck of playing cards, there will be 52 cards, and there will be 4 "4" cards.

First, find the number of desired outcomes, and put it over the total number of outcomes.

Out of the total number of outcomes (52), there are 4 outcomes that are not wanted, hence the equation is:

52 - 4 = 48

So out of the 52 possible outcomes, 48 are desired. Set up the fraction and

simplify:

48/52

/4   /4

= 12/13
