The slope of this line is -2.

rise/run

rise = 4
run = -2

4
------- = -2
-2

Using the points (1,0) & (0,2)

2 - 0 2
----------- = ----- = -2
0 - 1 -1

Since this line is descending, its slope should be negative:
Moreover the slope is nothing than the tangent of the angle formed with x-axis.
& the tangent of Ф = adjacent side/ opposite side).
If read well the graph you see that tan Ф = (4 units)/( - 8 units) = -4/8 = -1/2
Hence the slope = tan = -1/2

If you draw a card with a value of three or less from a standard deck of cards, I will pay you $43. If not, you pay me $11. (Ace

valina [46]

If $W$ is a random variable representing your winnings from playing the game, then it has support

$W=\begin{cases}43&\text{if you draw something with value at most 3}\\-11&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

There are 52 cards in the deck. Only the 1s, 2s, and 3s fulfill the first condition, so there are 12 ways in which you can win $43. So $W$ has PMF

$P(W=w)=\begin{cases}\frac{12}{52}=\frac3{13}&\text{for }w=43\\1-\frac{12}{52}=\frac{10}{13}&\text{for }w=-11\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

You can expect to win

$E[W]=\displaystyle\sum_ww\,P(W=w)=\frac{43\cdot3}{13}-\frac{11\cdot10}{13}=\boxed{\frac{19}{13}}$

or about $1.46 per game.

Doogle drove 30 and one-third miles toward his brother's house in one-third of an hour. About how long will the entire 100-mile

Olenka [21]

Answer:

$1\frac{9}{91}\ hours$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

30 and one-third miles is equal to

$30\frac{1}{3}\ mi=\frac{30*3+1}{3}=\frac{91}{3}\ mi$

one-third of an hour is equal to

$\frac{1}{3}\ h$

Applying proportion

$\frac{(1/3)}{(91/3)}\frac{h}{mi}=\frac{x}{100}\frac{h}{mi}\\ \\x=\frac{100}{91}\ h$

Convert to mixed number

$\frac{100}{91}\ h=\frac{91}{91}+\frac{9}{91}=1\frac{9}{91}\ h$
