Use the equation y=mx+b where m is the slope (how much it increases each time) and b is the y intercept (starting point).

Your equation would be: y=12x+0 because they eat 12 pounds each day and they start out having eaten 0 pounds.

To solve the equation, plug in the total amount of food for y and use algebra to solve for x:
250=12x
(divide by 12)
(250/12)=x
X=20.833

Their food would last approximately 20 days. (Make sure you round if required)

A ski resort claims that there is a 75% chance of snow on any given day in january and that snowfall happens independently from
creativ13 [48]

The mean exists at 3 and the standard deviation exists 0.87.

Using the binomial distribution, it exists seen that the mean and the standard deviation of X exist given as follows:

$\mu_{X}=3, \sigma_{X}=0.87

<h3>What is the binomial probability distribution?</h3>

The expected value of the binomial distribution exists:

$\mu_{X}=n p$$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution exists:

$\sigma_{X}=\sqrt{n p(1-p)}$$

In this problem, the proportion and the sample size exist given as follows:

p = 0.75

n = 4

Therefore, the mean and the standard deviation exist given by:

$&\mu_{X}=n p=4(0.75)=3 \\

$&\sigma_{X}=\sqrt{n p(1-p)}

$=\sqrt{4(0.75)(0.25)}=0.87

The mean exists at 3 and the standard deviation exists 0.87.

To learn about the binomial distribution refer to:

masya89 [10]

First, find what 110% of 12 is by multiplying 12 by 1.1 (13.2).

Second, find what 110% of 13.2 is by multiplying 13.2 by 1.1 (14.52).

The answer is 14.52 miles each day in May.
