1. What is the y-inter slope of the graph? What does it mean in terms of this situation?

notka56 [123]

Answer:

1. the y-intercept is 9.5 and it means the starting length of the candle

2. the slope is -1/2 and it means that the candle burns 1/2 an inch every hour

3. it burns an inch every 2 hours, it is 9.5 inches long, so 19 hours it'll take to burn.

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (-2, 2) and (3, 4)?

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is given by

m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (4-2)/(3 - -2)

= 2/(3+2)

= 2 /5

JJill begins the summer with $500 in her savings account. Each week, she withdraws $20. Her brother, Sam,starts the summer with

meriva

Answer:

7th week

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent the number of weeks as x

Jill begins the summer with $500 in her savings account. Each week, she withdraws $20.

$500 - $20× x

500 - 20x

Her brother, Sam,starts the summer with $150 in his account. He adds $30 to his account each week.

$150 + $30 × x

150 + 30x

At what week will both Jill and Sam have the same amount in their account?

We solve this be Equating both Equations together

Jill = Sam

500 - 20x = 150 + 30x

Collect like terms

500 - 150 = 30x + 20x

350 = 50x

Divide both sides by 50

50x/50 = 350/50

x = 7 weeks

Therefore, at the 7 week, Jill and sam would have the same amount in their accounts

A recent study suggested that 70% of all eligible voters will vote in the next presidential election. Suppose 20 eligible voters

natita [175]

Answer:

0.0479 = 4.79% probability that fewer than 11 of them will vote

Step-by-step explanation:

For each voter, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they will vote, or they will not. The probability of a voter voting is independent of any other voter, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used 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.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

70% of all eligible voters will vote in the next presidential election.

This means that $p = 0.7$

20 eligible voters were randomly selected from the population of all eligible voters.

This means that $n = 20$

What is the probability that fewer than 11 of them will vote?

This is:

$P(X < 11) = P(X = 10) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 0)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 10) = C_{20,10}.(0.7)^{10}.(0.3)^{10} = 0.0308$

$P(X = 9) = C_{20,9}.(0.7)^{9}.(0.3)^{11} = 0.0120$

$P(X = 8) = C_{20,8}.(0.7)^{8}.(0.3)^{12} = 0.0039$

$P(X = 7) = C_{20,7}.(0.7)^{7}.(0.3)^{13} = 0.0010$

$P(X = 6) = C_{20,10}.(0.7)^{6}.(0.3)^{12} = 0.0002$

$P(X = 5) = C_{20,5}.(0.7)^{5}.(0.3)^{15} \approx 0$

The probability of 5 or less voting is very close to 0, so they will not affect the outcome. Then

$P(X < 11) = P(X = 10) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 0) = 0.0308 + 0.0120 + 0.0039 + 0.0010 + 0.0002 = 0.0479$

0.0479 = 4.79% probability that fewer than 11 of them will vote
