What is the y-intercept of the line that has a slope of -1/2 and passes through the point (2, 3)?

Hello!

So the equation that you want to use is
y = mx + b

Now you can plug in both the slope and your points to find b.

3 = -1/2(2) + b
3 = -1 + b
4 = b

So now that we've found b, we can use the original equation and only plug in the slope and b

y = -1/2x + 4

So to find the y-intercept, we need to plug in 0 for x

y = -1/2(0) + 4
y = 0 + 4
y = 4

Your y-intercept is (0,4)

Hope this helps!

How are real numbers used to describe real world situations?

makkiz [27]

For example, money. If you are buying a shirt, that costs $5.49, and a pair of shoes that costs $16.99, then that would be a real world situation. You would have spent $22.48.

Answer:

a) $X \sim Binom(n=16, p=0.2)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

The expected value is given by this formula:

$E(X) = np=16*0.2=3.2$

b) $P(X=0)=(16C0)(0.2)^{0} (1-0.2)^{16-0}=0.02815$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Part a

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=16, p=0.2)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

The expected value is given by this formula:

$E(X) = np=16*0.2=3.2$

Part b

For this case we want this probability:

$P(X=0)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

And using this function we got:

$P(X=0)=(16C0)(0.2)^{0} (1-0.2)^{16-0}=0.02815$

10 people can paint a building in 5 days. if each person painted as quickly as the others then how much of the building could 7

Paul [167]

So basically it takes 10 people to paint a whole building. Forget about the 5 days. That's just there to confuse you. You have to first find out how much of a building can one person paint so, 1/10. So that means that 7 people can paint 7/10 of a building in 5 days
