Solve for y. x + y + z = 4 4x - y - z = 1 x + z = 2

UNO [17]

Answer:

y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

note: it only says to figure out y

x+y+z=4

x+z+y=4

2+y=4 (since x+z=2)

y=4-2

y=2

The Blair family was one of the first to come to the original 13 colonies (now part of the USA). They had 4 children. Assuming t

Mumz [18]

Answer:

31.25% probability that the Blair family had at least 3 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

For each children, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it was a girl, or it was not. The probability of a child being a girl is independent of any other children. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

They had 4 children.

This means that $n = 4$

The probability of a child being a girl is 0.5

This means that $p = 0.5$

Probability of at least 3 children:

$P(X \geq 3) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 3) = C_{4,3}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{1} = 0.25$

$P(X = 4) = C_{4,4}.(0.5)^{4}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.0625$

$P(X \geq 3) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.25 + 0.0625 = 0.3125$

31.25% probability that the Blair family had at least 3 girls

3/4ths multiplied by x equals 4 7/8ths what is x

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

x=13/2

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4x=4 7/8

x= 4 7/8 divided by 3/4

x=13/2

check

3/4*13/2=39/8

=4 7/8

Determine the equation of the line that passes through the given points. (If you have a graphing calculator, you can use the tab

expeople1 [14]

You can write the equation in point-slope form, which has the format y-ysubscript1=m(x-xsubscript1), with ysubscript1 and xsubscript1 being the y and x coordinates for a point on the line, and m being the slope.

Substitute a y and x coordinate into the equation so you have y-6=m(x-2)

Then find the slope so you can replace m. The slope formula is (ysubscript2-ysubscript1)/(xsubscript2-xsubscript1). Substitute the coordinates in so you have m=(16-6)/(4-2), which simplifies to 10/2 and then 5.

Now the equation is y-6=5(x-2)

If you want a different form, for example slope-intercept form, you can change it to that:

y-6=5(x-2)

y=5x-4

How do you use electromagnetic spectrums to learn more about stars and planets?

klemol [59]

Answer: Telescopes use lenses or mirrors to collect and focus waves from the electromagnetic spectrum, including visible light, allowing us to look at celestial objects. By studying the electromagnetic waves given off by objects such as stars, galaxies, and black holes, astronomers can better understand the universe.
