The <span>x-intercept </span>indicates that the entire pile of dirt will have been moved after 6 hours.
Answer:
(A)6 kilometers
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we determine the value of a using Pythagoras Theorem.
Therefore:
Distance along the long route = 8 + 15 =23 km
Distance along the shortcut =17 km
Difference =23-17 =6km
Therefore, Mr. Jones bikes 6km less when he takes the shortcut instead of the long route.
binomial(16 + 7, 16) 2^(-(16 + 7)) = ((16 + 7)!)/(16! 7! 2^(16 + 7)) = 245157/8388608 ≈ 0.02922 ≈ 1/34.22
(assuming children are independent and male and female are equally likely)
| probability
less than 16 boys | 0.9534
16 or less boys | 0.9827
more than 16 boys | 0.01734
16 or more boys | 0.04657
fraction of boys | 16/(16 + 7) ≈ 0.695652
fraction of girls | 7/(16 + 7) ≈ 0.304348
expected value | 11.5
standard deviation | 2.398
variance | 5.75
