The answer is C.) x = 7; x = -6
Your answer can be anything in the form y = mx+8 where you replace m with any real number.
You start with y = mx+b, and then replace the b with the y intercept 8.
The y intercept is where the polynomial crosses the y axis.
The value of m does not matter. So you could have y = 2x+8 or y = 3x+8 for instance. Replace m with whatever your favorite number is.
1 yard=3 feet so 100 yard=300 feet

Researchers recorded the speed of ants on trails in their natural environments. The ants studied, Leptogenys processionalis, all have the same body size in their adult phase, which made it easy to measure speeds in units of body lengths per second (bl/s). The researchers found that, when traffic is light and not congested, ant speeds vary roughly Normally, with mean 6.20 bl/s and standard deviation 1.58 bl/s. (a) What is the probability that an ant's speed in light traffic is faster than 5 bl/s? You may find Table B useful. (Enter your answer rounded to four decimal places.)
Answer:
0.7762
Step-by-step explanation:
We solve using z score formula
z = (x-μ)/σ, where
x is the raw score
μ is the population mean
σ is the population standard deviation.
Population mean = 6.20 bl/s
Standard deviation = 1.58 bl/s.
x = 5 bl/s
z = 5 - 6.20/1.58
z = -0.75949
The probability that an ant's speed in light traffic is faster than 5 bl/s is P( x > 5)
Probability value from Z-Table:
P(x<5) = 0.22378
P(x>5) = 1 - P(x<5)
= 1 - 22378
= 0.77622
Approximately to 4 decimal places = 0.7762
The probability that an ant's speed in light traffic is faster than 5 bl/s is 0.7762
If you use a proportion, you'll get:
Then, you use cross products:
Then, you algebraically solve x:
The answer is 5/3 inches , or 1 5/13 inches, or 1.6 repeating.
