Answer:

Pr(X >42) = Pr( Z > -2.344)

                = Pr( Z< 2.344) = 0.9905

Step-by-step explanation:

The scenario presented can be modeled by a binomial model;

The probability of success is, p = 0.65

There are n = 80 independent trials

Let X denote the number of drivers that wear a seat belt, then we are to find the probability that X is greater than 42;

Pr(X > 42)

In this case we can use the normal approximation to the binomial model;

mu = n*p = 80(0.65) = 52

sigma^2 = n*p*(1-p) = 18.2

Pr(X >42) = Pr( Z > -2.344)

                = Pr( Z< 2.344) = 0.9905

What is the equation for the line in slope-intercept form?
masha68 [24]

Answer:

y=mx+b is slope-intercept form

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

Since the line crosses the y axis at 0,0 the intercept is +0 or just nothing.

now all we need to do is find the slope

to do that just go from the y intercept (the first point) y units up and x units over untill u cross at the next point. for examples from (0, 0) to (1, 8)-the next point- i need to go up 8 units up and 1 unit over. this is described as rise over run and that is your slope 8/1 rise/run. rise is how many units i go up (or down) from the y intercept until the next point that lies on the line and run is how far i need to go over from how many units i just went up. If u continue to go 8 up and 1 over from each point u will see that u get a point lying of the line. This is why 8/1 is your slope

8/1 is the slope and 0,0 is your y intercept so we put nothing

the equation is y=8x

A motorboat takes 5 hours to travel 100mi going upstream. The return trip takes 2 hours going downstream. What is the rate of th
Temka [501]
The boat went 5hours upstream, let's say it has a "still water" speed rate of "b", it went 100miles... however, going upstream is going against the current, let's say the current has a speed rate of "c"

so, when the boat was going up, it wasn't really going "b" fast, it was going " b - c " fast, because the current was eroding speed from it

now, when coming down, the return trip, well the length is the same, so the distance is also 100miles, it only took 2hrs though, because, the boat wasn't coming down  "b" fast, it was coming down " b + c " fast, because the current was adding speed to it, so it came down quicker

now, recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}&#10;&distance&rate&time\\&#10;&-----&-----&-----\\&#10;upstream&100&b-c&5\\&#10;downstream&100&b+c&2&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\begin{cases}&#10;100=(b-c)5\\&#10;\qquad \frac{100}{5}=b-c\\&#10;\qquad 20=b-c\\&#10;\qquad 20+c=\boxed{b}\\&#10;100=(b+c)2\\&#10;\qquad 50=b+c\\&#10;\qquad 50=\boxed{20+c}+c&#10;\end{cases}

solve for "c", to see what's the current's speed

what's "b"?  well 20+c = b

Svetradugi [14.3K]
First it is important to notice that the b is 6, h is 8 and l is? so we find l by using the trigonometry which gives us approximately 13, then we plug it in to V= 1/2 lbh= 1/2 (6)(8)(13)= 312 cm^3

How do I graph this. I need to find the solution
Sergio039 [100]
To graph y=-7x-3, you're going to make your first coordinate at (-3,0) b/c that is your y-intercept and you will continuously move down 7 and right one.

To graph y=4, you will simply make a horizontal line through the to coordinate (4,0).

Hope that helped.
