Answer:

h = -t+20

After 8 hours the candle will be 12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 2 points (time, inches)

 (3,17)  and (5,15)

We can find the slope

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

   = (15-17)/(5-3)

   = -2/2

   = -1

We can use point slope form

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

Replace y with h and x with t

h-17 = -1 (t-3)

Distribute

h-17 = -t+3

Add 17 to each side

h-17+17 = -t+3+17

h = -t+20

After 8 hours

h = -t+20

h = -8+20

h= 12

On a biased dice the probability of getting 1 is 0.3. The ice is rolled 150 times. How many ones would you expect to roll?
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:  45

=====================================================

Work Shown:

n = number of rolls = 150

p = probability of rolling a "1" = 0.3

n*p = expected number of "1"s that show up out of the 150 rolls

n*p = 150*0.3

n*p = 45

We expect about 45 ones will show up.
