Answer:

Part a) Ernest's calculation was correct

Part b) Ernest's calculation was correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>

Ernest calculated the slope of the graph during the uphill climb to be 10. His work is shown below.

Points: (60.900). (15, 450)

Slope : 900-450/60-15=450/45=10

Part a) Determine whether his calculation was correct or incorrect, and then explain why.

Part b) Confirm or disprove Ernest's work by selecting two different points and applying the slope formula. be sure to identify the points you chose

Part a)

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

we have the points

A(60,900),B(15,450)

Remember that

$m_A_B=m_B_A$

step 1

Find $m_A_B$

substitute in the formula

$m_A_B=\frac{450-900}{15-60}\\\\m_A_B=\frac{-450}{-45}=10$

step 2

Find $m_B_A$

substitute in the formula

$m_B_A=\frac{900-450}{60-15}\\\\m_B_A=\frac{450}{45}=10$

therefore

Ernest's calculation was correct, because $m_A_B=m_B_A$

Part b) selecting two different points

we take the points

(0,300) and (50,800) -----> see the attached figure

substitute in the formula of slope

$m=\frac{800-300}{50-0}$

$m=\frac{500}{50}$

$m=10$

therefore

Ernest's calculation was correct

John runs a computer software store. Yesterday he counted 123 people who walked by the store, 56 of whom came into the store. Of

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

a) There is a 45.53% probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.

b) There is a 41.07% probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.

c) There is a 18.70% probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.

d) There is a 58.93% probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.

Step-by-step explanation:

This a probability problem.

The probability formula is given by:

$P = \frac{D}{T}$

In which P is the probability, D is the number of desired outcomes and T is the number of total outcomes.

The problem states that:

123 people walked by the store.

56 people came into the store.

23 bought something in the store.

(a) Estimate the probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.

123 people walked by the store and 56 entered the store, so $T = 123, D = 56$ .

So

$P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{56}{123} = 0.4553$

There is a 45.53% probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.

(b) Estimate the probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.

56 people came into the store and 23 bought something, so $T = 56, D = 23$ .

So

$P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{23}{56} = 0.4107$

There is a 41.07% probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.

(c) Estimate the probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.

123 people walked by the store and 23 came in and bought something, so $T = 123, D = 23$ .

So

$P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{23}{123} = 0.1870$

There is a 18.70% probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.

(d) Estimate the probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.

Of the 56 people whom came into the store, 23 bought something. This means that 56-23 = 33 of them did not buy anything. So:

$D = 33, T = 56$

$P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{33}{56} = 0.5893$

There is a 58.93% probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.

The points with coordinates (x, -1), (2,2), and (4,3) lie on the same line. What is the value of x?

borishaifa [10]

Find the slope of the line passing throught the points (2, 2) and (4, 3).

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{3-2}{4-2}=\dfrac{1}{2}$

If the point (x, -1) lie on the same line, then the slope of line passing through the points (2, 2) and (x, -1) the same:

Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{-1-2}{x-2}=\dfrac{-3}{x-2}$

We have the equation:

$\dfrac{-3}{x-2}=\dfrac{1}{2}$ <em>cross multiply</em>

$(1)(x-2)=(-3)(2)$

$x-2=-6$ <em>add 2 to both sides</em>

$x=-4$

<h3>Answer: x = -4.</h3>

Iteru [2.4K]

702 can not be written as the product of 2 prime numbers, because if you divide 702 by 2 then you get 351 and that is not a prime number. Therefore 702 is a prime number.
