Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation: Let's go over a little algebra terminology.

The number in front of your variable is called your coefficient and a variable is just a letter that represents any number.

So here, your coefficient is 5 since it appears in front of the variable, x.

Estimate the line of best fit using two points on the line 100 90 80 70 (e, 80) 60 30 20 10 (2.20) 10 O A. y= 2x O B. y = 2x+10

Answer:

$y = 10x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached plot

Required

The line of the best fit using $(8,80)$ and $(2,20)$

We have:

$(x_1,y_1) = (8,80)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (2,20)$

Calculate slope (m)

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

$m = \frac{20 - 80}{2- 8}$

$m = \frac{-60}{-6}$

$m = 10$

The equation is then calculated using:

$y = m(x - x_1) + y_1$

$y = 10(x - 8) + 80$

Expand

$y = 10x - 80 + 80$

$y = 10x$

Answer:

m = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

take 2 pairs from x

choose (1,5) and (2,7)

it will be m = 5 - 7

and in the bottom 1 - 2 it's a fraction

m = -2/-1

the numerator and denominator can't be both negative

so your answer is m= +2

m= slope

rate of change= slope

To avoid detection at customs, a traveler places 6 narcotic tablets in a bottle containing 9 vitamin tablets that are similar in

lukranit [14]

Answer: $\dfrac{26}{27}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : To avoid detection at customs, a traveler places 6 narcotic tablets in a bottle containing 9 vitamin tablets that are similar in appearance.

Proportion of success : $p=\dfrac{6}{9}=\dfrac{2}{3}$

Sample size taken by customs oﬃcial : n= 3

Let x be a binomial variable that represents the tablets in the bottle.

Using Binomial probability formula :-

$P(X=x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

The probability that the traveler will be arrested for illegal possession of narcotics = $P(x\geq1)=1-P(x=0)$

$1-^3C_0(\dfrac{2}{3})^0(1-\dfrac{2}{3})^3\\\\=1-(1)(1)(\dfrac{1}{3})^3\ [\becuase ^nC_0=1]\\\\=1-\dfrac{1}{27}=\dfrac{26}{27}$

Hence, the probability that the traveler will be arrested for illegal possession of narcotics = $\dfrac{26}{27}$
