Answer:
3.58
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
y = 2x + 4 -------- eq1
y = 2x - 4 -------- eq2
sanity check : both equations have same slope, so we can conclude that they are both parallel to one another.
Step 1: consider equation 1, pick any random x-value and find they corresponding y-value. we pick x = -2
This gives us y = 2(-2) + 4 = 0
Hence we get a point (x,y) = (-2,0)
Step 2: express equation 2 in general form (i.e Ax + By + C = 0)
y = 2x-4 -------rearrange---> 2x - y -4 = 0
Comparing with the general form, we get A = 2, B = -1, C = -4
Recall that the distance between 2 parallel lines is given by the attached formula (see attached picture).
substituting the values for A, B, C and (x, y) from the previous step:
d = | (2)(-2) + (-1)(0) + (-4) | / √(2² + (-1)²)
d = | -4 + 0 - 4 | / √(4 + 1)
d = | -8 | / √5
d = 8 / √5
d = 3.5777
d = 3.58 (rounded 2 dec. pl)

Answer:
In which x is the number of which we want to find the probability.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each traffic fatality, there are only two possible outcomes. EIther it involved an intoxicated or alcohol-impaired driver or nonoccupant, or it didn't. Traffic fatalities are independent of other traffic fatalities, which means that the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
In which is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
And p is the probability of X happening.
The probability is .40 that a traffic fatality involves an intoxication or alcohol-impaired driver or nonoccupant.
This means that
Eight traffic fatalities
This means that
Find the probability that the number which involve an intoxicated or alcohol-impaired driver or nonoccupant is
This is P(X = x), in which x is the number of which we want to find the probability. So
