Answer:

A0 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find out how many girls there are by subtracting 8 (boys) from 20 (total). This means there are 12 girls. Since 8 girls aren't speaking, 4 are. 4+4=8. 8 out of the 20 children are speaking/ 8/20 simplified is 2/5

Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form that has: slope: -1 and point: (1, 1)
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

f(x) = -1x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = mx + b

the equation above is slope intercept form. in order to make it you need a slope and a y intercept. you were given the slope, so now you need a y intercept. but where would you find that???  look no farther than the point you were given, (1,1). the y intercept is the second number in the parentheses. next you take your slope and your y-intercept and place them in.

f(x) = -1x + 1

hope i could help

The amount of time Ricardo spends brushing his teeth follows a Normal distribution with unknown mean and standard deviation. Ric
Papessa [141]
Let X denote the number of minutes spent brushing his teeth, and let \mu be the mean and \sigma the standard deviation for this distribution.

\mathbb P(X

The z-score corresponding to this probability is approximately z=-0.2533, which means

\dfrac{1-\mu}\sigma=-0.2533\iff\mu-0.2533\sigma=1

Next, (note the sign change)

\mathbb P(X>2)=0.02\implies\mathbb P(X\le2)=\mathbb P\left(\dfrac{X-\mu}\sigma\le\dfrac{2-\mu}\sigma\right)=0.98

The corresponding z-score is approximately z=2.0538, so you have

\dfrac{2-\mu}\sigma=2.0538\iff\mu+2.0538\sigma=2

Solving the two equations for \mu and \sigma, you'll find that the mean is approximately \mu=1.1098 and the standard deviation is approximately \sigma=0.4334.
