Answer:

The slope of one of the guy wires is m=0.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the vertical distance of the guy wire by the horizontal distance of the guy wire to find the slope of one of the guy wire.

We have

d = 100ft ----- horizontal distance

h = 70ft ------- vertical distance

Then,

m = h/d

Put the values in the given formula:

m = 70/100

m = 0.7

Thus the slope of one of the guy wires is m=0.7

At the end of the summer, Caitlin had saved $120 from her summer job. This was her initial deposit into a new savings account at

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

<span>Let x = represent the number of weeks of deposits
A = 120 + 5x the account balance after x weeks
The account balance is directly proportional to the number of weeks of deposits if:
A/x = constant
(120 + 5x)/x = 120/x + 5 is not a constant
For example:
After 1 week there will be: 120 + 1*5 = $125 on the account
After 2 week there will be: 120 + 2*5 = $130 on the account
After 3 week there will be: 120 + 3*5 = $135 on the account
But 125/1 <> 130/2 <> 135/3
The account balance is not proportional to the number of weeks of deposits.</span>

In a list of households, own homes and do not own homes. Five households are randomly selected from these households. Find the p

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

The probability of success for this case would be:

$p =\frac{9}{15}= 0.6$ representing the proportion of homes that are own homes

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

$X \sim Binom(n=15, p=0.6)$

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 we want this probability:

$P(X=3)$

And uing the probability mass function we got:

$P(X=3)= 15C3 (0.6)^3 (1-0.6)^{15-3}= 0.00165$

Step-by-step explanation:

Adduming the following info: In a list of 15 households, 9 own homes and 6 do not own homes. Five households are randomly selected from these 15 households. Find the probability that the number of households in these 5 own homes is exactly 3.

Round your answer to four decimal places

P (exactly 3)=

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".

Solution to the problem

The probability of success for this case would be:

$p =\frac{9}{15}= 0.6$ representing the proportion of homes that are own homes

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

$X \sim Binom(n=15, p=0.6)$

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 we want this probability:

$P(X=3)$

And uing the probability mass function we got:

$P(X=3)= 15C3 (0.6)^3 (1-0.6)^{15-3}= 0.00165$

The ABC Book Club charges a $40 monthly fee, plus $2 per book read in that month. The Easy Book Club charges a 35$ monthly fee,

MAVERICK [17]

The expression for the cost of the ABC Book Club is 2x + 40. The expression for the cost of the Easy Book Club is 3x + 35. To find when the total charge for both book clubs is equal, the two expressions must equal each other. (x = the number of books read)

2x + 40 = 3x + 35

Subtract 35 from both sides.

2x + 5 = 3x

Subtract 2x from both sides.

5 = x

So, the total charge for each club is equal when 5 books are read.
