Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathrm{Line\:passing\:through\:}\left(-1,\:-3\right)\mathrm{,\:}\left(2,\:1\right)\\\\\mathrm{Find\:the\:line\:}\\\mathbf{y=mx+b}\mathrm{\:passing\:through\:}\left(-1,\:-3\right)\mathrm{,\:}\left(2,\:1\right)\\\\\mathrm{Compute\:the\:slope\:}\left(-1,\:-3\right),\:\left(2,\:1\right):\quad \\m=\frac{4}{3}\\\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-1,\:-3\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)\\\left\\$

$\\m=\frac{1-\left(-3\right)}{2-\left(-1\right)}\\\\Refine\\\\m=\frac{4}{3}\\\\\mathrm{Compute\:the\:}y\mathrm{\:intercept}:\quad b=-\frac{5}{3}\\\\y=\frac{4}{3}x-\frac{5}{3}\\$

Convert equation to standard form

$y - \frac{4}{3} x + \frac{5}{3} = 0\\\\Multiply \:through\: by\: 3;\\\\3\times (y - \frac{4}{3} x + \frac{5}{3} )=0\\\\3y -4x+5 = 0\\Arrange\:n\:form\:of \:;\\Ax +By = C\\\\-4x +3y =-5$

Suppose that the rate of return on stocks is normally dis-tributed with mean of 9% and a standard deviation of 3%. If I pick fiv

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

The probability that at least two stocks will have a return of more than 12% is 0.1810.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = rate of return on stocks.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Normal distribution, N (9, 3²).

Compute the probability that a stock has rate of return more than 12% as follows:

$P(X\geq 12)=1-P(X$

**Use the <em>z</em> table for the probability.

The probability of a stock having rate of return more than 12% is 0.1587.

Now define a random variable <em>Y</em> as the number of stocks that has rate of return more than 12%.

The sample size of stocks selected is, <em>n</em> = 5.

The random variable <em>Y </em>follows a Binomial distribution.

The probability of a Binomial distribution is:

$P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x};\ x=0, 1, 2, ...$

Compute the value of P (X ≥ 2) as follows:

P (X ≥ 2) = 1 - P (X < 2)

= 1 - P (X = 0) - P (X = 1)

$=1-{5\choose 0}(0.1587)^{0}(1-0.1587)^{5-0}-{5\choose 1}(0.1587)^{1}(1-0.1587)^{5-1}\\=1-0.4215-0.3975\\=0.1810$

Thus, the probability that at least two stocks will have a return of more than 12% is 0.1810.

How much more area does a large pizza with a 12 in. diameter have than a small pizza with an 8 in. diameter? Round your answer t

ivolga24 [154]

Answer: About 63 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Area of circle = π · r²</u>

r = radius length
π ≈ 3.14

<u>Area of large pizza:</u>

$\pi *r^{2} =3.14*6^{2} =3.14*36=113.04$

<u>Area of small pizza:</u>

$\pi *r^{2} =3.14*4^{2} =3.14*16=50.24$

<u>Difference in area:</u>

$113.04-50.24=62.8$
