Answer:

3x - 2 = 2y

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 3x + 5 = 2y into this form by dividing all terms by 2

$\frac{3}{2}$ x + $\frac{5}{2}$ = y ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = $\frac{3}{2}$

Parallel lines have equal slopes and c = - 1, thus

y = $\frac{3}{2}$ x - 1 ← in slope- intercept form

Multiply through by 2

2y = 3x - 2 ← equation of line

If the probability of p(m and n) =0.2 p(m)=0.4 and m and independent events, what is p(n)?

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

P(n) = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

For two events which are independent, we use the multiplication rule which states P (A and B) = P(A) * P(B). Substitute P(m) = 0.4 and P(m and n) = 0.2 into this formula.

P (m and n) = P(m) * P(n)

0.2 = 0.4*P(n)

Divide by 0.4 on both sides.

0.2 / 0.4 = P(n)

0.5 = P(n)

6) Supplementary Exercise 5.51

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

$P(X \le 4) = 0.7373$

$P(x \le 15) = 0.0173$

$P(x > 20) = 0.4207$

$P(20\ge x \le 24)= 0.6129$

$P(x = 24) = 0.0236$

$P(x = 15) = 1.18\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$p = 80\% = 0.8$

The question illustrates binomial distribution and will be solved using:

$P(X = x) = ^nC_xp^x(1 - p)^{n-x}$

Solving (a):

Given

$n =5$

Required

$P(X\ge 4)$

This is calculated using

$P(X \le 4) = P(x = 4) +P(x=5)$

This gives:

$P(X \le 4) = ^5C_4 * (0.8)^4*(1 - 0.8)^{5-4} + ^5C_5*0.8^5*(1 - 0.8)^{5-5}$

$P(X \le 4) = 5 * (0.8)^4*(0.2)^1 + 1*0.8^5*(0.2)^0$

$P(X \le 4) = 0.4096 + 0.32768$

$P(X \le 4) = 0.73728$

$P(X \le 4) = 0.7373$ --- approximated

Solving (b):

Given

$n =25$

Required

$P(X\le 15)$

This is calculated as:

$P(X\le 15) = 1 - P(x>15)$ --- Complement rule

$P(x>15) = P(x=16) + P(x=17) + P(x =18) + P(x = 19) + P(x = 20) + P(x = 21) + P(x = 22) + P(x = 23) + P(x = 24) + P(x = 25)$

$P(x > 15) = {25}^C_{16} * p^{16}*(1-p)^{25-16} +{25}^C_{17} * p^{17}*(1-p)^{25-17} +{25}^C_{18} * p^{18}*(1-p)^{25-18} +{25}^C_{19} * p^{19}*(1-p)^{25-19} +{25}^C_{20} * p^{20}*(1-p)^{25-20} +{25}^C_{21} * p^{21}*(1-p)^{25-21} +{25}^C_{22} * p^{22}*(1-p)^{25-22} +{25}^C_{23} * p^{23}*(1-p)^{25-23} +{25}^C_{24} * p^{24}*(1-p)^{25-24} +{25}^C_{25} * p^{25}*(1-p)^{25-25}$

$P(x > 15) = 2042975 * 0.8^{16}*0.2^9 +1081575* 0.8^{17}*0.2^8 +480700 * 0.8^{18}*0.2^7 +177100 * 0.8^{19}*0.2^6 +53130 * 0.8^{20}*0.2^5 +12650 * 0.8^{21}*0.2^4 +2300 * 0.8^{22}*0.2^3 +300 * 0.8^{23}*0.2^2 +25* 0.8^{24}*0.2^1 +1 * 0.8^{25}*0.2^0$

$P(x > 15) = 0.98266813045$

So:

$P(X\le 15) = 1 - P(x>15)$

$P(x \le 15) = 1 - 0.98266813045$

$P(x \le 15) = 0.01733186955$

$P(x \le 15) = 0.0173$

ii)

$P(x>20)$

This is calculated as:

$P(x>20) = P(x = 21) + P(x = 22) + P(x = 23) + P(x = 24) + P(x = 25)$

$P(x > 20) = 12650 * 0.8^{21}*0.2^4 +2300 * 0.8^{22}*0.2^3 +300 * 0.8^{23}*0.2^2 +25* 0.8^{24}*0.2^1 +1 * 0.8^{25}*0.2^0$

$P(x > 20) = 0.42067430925$

$P(x > 20) = 0.4207$

iii)

$P(20\ge x \le 24)$

This is calculated as:

$P(20\ge x \le 24) = P(x = 20) + P(x = 21) + P(x = 22) + P(x =23) + P(x = 24)$

$P(20\ge x \le 24)= 53130 * 0.8^{20}*0.2^5 +12650 * 0.8^{21}*0.2^4 +2300 * 0.8^{22}*0.2^3 +300 * 0.8^{23}*0.2^2 +25* 0.8^{24}*0.2^1$

$P(20\ge x \le 24)= 0.61291151859$

$P(20\ge x \le 24)= 0.6129$

iv)

$P(x = 24)$

This is calculated as:

$P(x = 24) = 25* 0.8^{24}*0.2^1$

$P(x = 24) = 0.0236$

Solving (c):

$P(x = 15)$

This is calculated as:

$P(x = 15) = {25}^C_{15} * 0.8^{15} * 0.2^{10}$

$P(x = 15) = 3268760 * 0.8^{15} * 0.2^{10}$

$P(x = 15) = 0.01177694905$

$P(x = 15) = 0.0118$

Express as percentage

$P(x = 15) = 1.18\%$

The calculated probability (1.18%) is way less than the advocate's claim.

Hence, we do not believe the claim.

Tha co-efficient of correlation is independent of

hjlf

The coefficient of correlation is independent of change of scale and origin of the variable X and Y. Change of origin means some value has been added or subtracted in the observation. If we divide all observations with x then new mean =initial mean/x.

What is the standard form of the equation<br><br>Center (-14,5), circumference: 22π

IRISSAK [1]

The standard equation for a circle with center at (h,k) and radius r is

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2, where (h,k) is the center of the circle.

The formula for the circumference of a circle is C = 2pi*r. In this particular problem, we need to determine the radius of the circle. That radius is: r = C/[2pi]. Here, C = 22pi, so we get r = 22pi/[2pi], and so r^2 = 11^2.

Putting to use the given info, we have:

(x+14)^2 + (y-5)^2 = 11^2
