This probability distribution shows the typical distribution of pitches thrown to a batter in a given at bat in a baseball game.

Find the probability that the pitcher will throw fewer than 3 pitches to a batter.

Answer:

0.35

Step-by-step explanation:

This probability distribution is shown below:

Pitch 1 2 3 4 5

Frequency 15 20 40 15 10

Probability 0.15 0.2 0.4 0.15 0.1

The probability that the pitcher will throw fewer than 3 pitches to a batter = P(X < 3)

X is the number of pitches thrown. Therefore:

P(X < 3) = P(X = 1) or P(X = 2)

The additive rule pf probability states that if two events X and Y are dependent events, the probability of X or Y occurring is the sum of their individual probability.

P(X < 3) = P(X = 1) or P(X = 2) = P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.15 + 0.2 = 0.35

The probability that the pitcher will throw fewer than 3 pitches to a batter = 0.35

John, sally, Natalie would all like to save some money. John decides that it would be best to save money in a jar in his closet

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Part 1) John’s situation is modeled by a linear equation (see the explanation)

Part 2) $y=100x+300$

Part 3) $\$12,300$

Part 4) $\$2,700$

Part 5) Is a exponential growth function

Part 6) $A=6,000(1.07)^{t}$

Part 7) $\$11,802.91$

Part 8) $\$6,869.40$

Part 9) Is a exponential growth function

Part 10) $A=5,000(e)^{0.10t}$ or $A=5,000(1.1052)^{t}$

Part 11) $\$13,591.41$

Part 12) $\$6,107.01$

Part 13) Natalie has the most money after 10 years

Part 14) Sally has the most money after 2 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) What type of equation models John’s situation?

Let

y ----> the total money saved in a jar

x ---> the time in months

The linear equation in slope intercept form

$y=mx+b$

The slope is equal to

$m=\$100\ per\ month$

The y-intercept or initial value is

$b=\$300$

so

$y=100x+300$

therefore

John’s situation is modeled by a linear equation

Part 2) Write the model equation for John’s situation

see part 1)

$y=100x+300$

Part 3) How much money will John have after 10 years?

Remember that

1 year is equal to 12 months

so

$10\ years=10(12)=120 months$

For x=120 months

substitute in the linear equation

$y=100(120)+300=\$12,300$

Part 4) How much money will John have after 2 years?

Remember that

1 year is equal to 12 months

so

$2\ years=2(12)=24\ months$

For x=24 months

substitute in the linear equation

$y=100(24)+300=\$2,700$

Part 5) What type of exponential model is Sally’s situation?

we know that

The compound interest formula is equal to

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

in this problem we have

$P=\$6,000\\ r=7\%=0.07\\n=1$

substitute in the formula above

$A=6,000(1+\frac{0.07}{1})^{1*t}\\ A=6,000(1.07)^{t}$

therefore

Is a exponential growth function

Part 6) Write the model equation for Sally’s situation

$A=6,000(1.07)^{t}$

see the Part 5)

Part 7) How much money will Sally have after 10 years?

For t=10 years

substitute the value of t in the exponential growth function

$A=6,000(1.07)^{10}=\$11,802.91$

Part 8) How much money will Sally have after 2 years?

For t=2 years

substitute the value of t in the exponential growth function

$A=6,000(1.07)^{2}=\$6,869.40$

Part 9) What type of exponential model is Natalie’s situation?

we know that

The formula to calculate continuously compounded interest is equal to

$A=P(e)^{rt}$

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods

e is the mathematical constant number

we have

$P=\$5,000\\r=10\%=0.10$

substitute in the formula above

$A=5,000(e)^{0.10t}$

Applying property of exponents

$A=5,000(1.1052)^{t}$

therefore

Is a exponential growth function

Part 10) Write the model equation for Natalie’s situation

$A=5,000(e)^{0.10t}$ or $A=5,000(1.1052)^{t}$

see Part 9)

Part 11) How much money will Natalie have after 10 years?

For t=10 years

substitute

$A=5,000(e)^{0.10*10}=\$13,591.41$

Part 12) How much money will Natalie have after 2 years?

For t=2 years

substitute

$A=5,000(e)^{0.10*2}=\$6,107.01$

Part 13) Who will have the most money after 10 years?

Compare the final investment after 10 years of John, Sally, and Natalie

Natalie has the most money after 10 years

Part 14) Who will have the most money after 2 years?

Compare the final investment after 2 years of John, Sally, and Natalie

Sally has the most money after 2 years

Can someone help please

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

I believe the answer is 8 because 8 can go in both 64 and 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide 64 by 8 then you get 8 and if you divide 40 by 5 you also get 8.

What is the equation for this line? *

ELEN [110]

Answer:

y = -2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept is given by the point that is on the y-axis. (1)

This means that the answer contains a +1

Then you must find if the slope is positive or negative

In this case the slope is negative because the line goes "downhill" from left to right

Since the slope is negative it means that there will be a negative sign in the beginning of the equation

Next, to find the slope you need to find the rise over run

Since it is a negative slope the rise will be negative and the run will be positive.

To find the slope find two clear points on the graph such as (0,1) and (2,0)

To find the slope, use the slope formula

This would look like: (0-2)/(1-0)

Your slope will be -2x

Piece it all together and you get a final answer of y= -2x+1
