The ratio 9:7 gives you following statement:

  • Carl will win in 9 cases from 9+7=16;
  • Carl will lose in 7 cases from 16.

Then the probability that Carl will lose is

Pr(\text{Carl will lose})=\dfrac{7}{16}.

Answer: Pr(\text{Carl will lose})=\dfrac{7}{16}.

klemol [59]

Answer:

Between 38.42 and 49.1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean of 43.76, standard deviation of 2.67.

Between what two values will approximately 95% of the amounts be?

By the Empirical Rule, within 2 standard deviations of the mean. So

43.76 - 2*2.67 = 38.42

43.76 + 2*2.67 = 49.1

Between 38.42 and 49.1.

What is the equation of a line, in point- slope form, that passes through (5, -3) and has a slope of 2/3?
Alika [10]
<h3><u><em>Option B</em></u></h3><h3><u><em>The equation of a line, in point- slope form, that passes through (5, -3) and has a slope of 2/3</em></u></h3><h3><u><em /></u>y + 3 = \frac{2}{3}(x -5)<u><em /></u></h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>The equation of line in point slope form is given as:</u></em>

y - y_1 = m(x-x_1)

Where, "m" is the slope of line

Given that,

slope = 2/3

m = \frac{2}{3}

The line passes through (5, -3)

Substitute m = 2/3 and (x_1, y_1) = (5, -3) in point slope form

y - (-3) = \frac{2}{3}(x -5)\\\\y + 3 = \frac{2}{3}(x -5)

Thus equation of line in point slope form is found

A walker has travelled 9 km along a trail. If he has completed 80% of the trail, how much further does he still have to go?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

2.25 km to go

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get this answer, you have to figure out how many km 10% is, 0.1125. Then multiply that by the remaining 20% because he already finished 80% of the trail. So, 0.1125 x 20 = 2.25.

Hope this helps! :)
