Answer: Route 2 is shorter by 17 miles.

Step-by-step explanation: Lets add the total mileage for both trips, or options to travel from Georgetown to Mayville.

Option 1:

53 + 28 + 98 = 179 total miles

Option 2:

28 + 49 + 85 = 162 total miles

To find how much option 2 is shorter, subtract 179 - 162 = 17 miles shorter.

Obviously, option 2, or route 2 is shorter by 17 miles.

What is the y-intercept of the line represented by y = 4x?

Brut [27]

Answer: 0

Step-by-step explanation: In order to identify the y-intercept of this equation, we want to get this equation into slope-intercept form which is more commonly known as y = mx + b form.

The problem is our equation doesn't match up quite so well with the formula y = mx + b. Our slope or m which is represented by the coefficient of the x term is clearly +4 but what is our y-intercept or b?

Well y = 4x can be thought of as y = 4x + 0 so you can see that our b or y-intercept equals 0.

A man claims to have extrasensory perception (ESP). As a test, a fair coin is flipped 20 times, and the man is asked to predict

dlinn [17]

Answer:

$P(x\geq 17)=0.00128$

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the man gets x out of 20 correct follows a Binomial distribution, so the probability is calculated as:

$P(x)=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}*p^{x}*(1-p)^{n-x}$

Where n is the number of identical experiments and p is the probability of success. In this case n is 20.

Additionally, if he has no ESP the probability that he predict correctly is 0.5, because he is only guessing.

Then, the probability that he gets x out of 20 correct is equal to:

$P(x)=\frac{20!}{x!(20-x)!}*0.5^{x}*(1-0.5)^{20-x}$

Therefore the probability that he would have done at least 17 out of 20 well if he had no ESP is:

$P(x\geq 17)=P(17)+P(18)+P(19)+P(20)\\$

Where:

$P(17)=\frac{20!}{17!(20-17)!}*0.5^{17}*(1-0.5)^{20-17}=0.00108719\\P(18)=\frac{20!}{18!(20-18)!}*0.5^{18}*(1-0.5)^{20-18}=0.00018119\\P(19)=\frac{20!}{19!(20-19)!}*0.5^{19}*(1-0.5)^{20-19}=0.00001907\\P(20)=\frac{20!}{20!(20-20)!}*0.5^{20}*(1-0.5)^{20-20}=0.00000095$
