Ed signed up for a weight-loss program. The table shows his weight in pounds of the terms of the number of weeks since he began

his weight loss-program. assume that his weight loss is the same every week.
Time weight
(weeks) (pounds)
0 205
4 197

Eric also signed up for a weight-loss program. The function y = 200 - 1.5x represents his weight in pounds in terms of the number of weeks since he began his weight-loss program. Of the two, ___ loses fewer pounds per week. when the two began their respective weight-loss programs ____ was heavier by ____ pounds.

Ed : (0,205)(4,197)
slope(m) = (197 - 205) / (4 - 0) = -8/4 = -2

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -2
(0,205)...x = 0 and y = 205
time to sub
205 = -2(0) + b
205 = b
equation is : y = -2x + 205...so Ed loses 2 lbs per week

Eric :
y = -1.5x + 200...so Eric loses 1.5 lbs per week

when they started, Ed weighed 205 lbs and Eric weighed 200 lbs

* of the two, Eric loses fewer lbs per week. When the two began their respective weight-loss programs, Ed was heavier by 5 lbs.

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

She sold 39 tall candies and 52 short candies

Step-by-step explanation:

x is all the tall candies

y is all the short candies

x+y=91

8x+5y=572

Use the method of Substitution to find out both x and y.

x=91-y

8(91-y)+5y=572

728-8y+5y=572

728-3y=572

3y=156

y=52

x+52=91

x=39

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

6 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of times you visit the pool = x

At a local swim club you can purchase an annual membership for 24 dollars which will allow you 1 dollar admission to the pool all summer.

= $24 + $1× x

= 24 + x

If you do not purchase the membership the pool admission is 5 dollars.

= 5 × x

= 5x

Hence:

24 + x = 5x

Collect like terms

24 = 5x - x

4x = 24

x = 24/4

x = 6 times

The number of times you must visit the pool with a membership that would equal the cost of paying full price is 6 times.

In the air, it had an average speed of 16 1616 m/s m/sstart text, m, slash, s, end text. In the water, it had an average speed o
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

t_a = 7 s

t_w = 5 s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The average speed in air v_a = 16 m/s

- The average speed in water v_w = 3 m/s

- The total distance D = 127 m

- The total time T = 12 s

Find:

How long did the stone fall in air and how long did it fall in the water?

Solution:

- Lets time taken by stone to drop through air as t_a = t_a.

- The time taken in water would be t_w = (12 - t_a)

- The total distance covered can be calculated as:

                            D = v_a*t_a+ v_w*(12 - t_a)

                            127 = 16*t_a + 3*(12 - t_a)

Simplify and solve for t:

                            91 = 16*t_a - 3t_a

                            13*t_a = 91

                            t_a = 7 s

                            t_w = 5 s

Although cities encourage carpooling to reduce traffic congestion, most vehicles carry only one person. For example, 64% of vehi
ira [324]

Answer:

a) 0.7291 is the probability that more than half out of 10 vehicles carry just 1 person.

b) 0.996 is the probability that more than half of the vehicles  carry just one person.    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

A) Binomial distribution

We treat vehicle on road with one passenger as a success.

P(success) = 64% = 0.64

Then the number of vehicles follows a binomial distribution, where

P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

Now, we are given n = 10

We have to evaluate:

P(x \geq 6) = P(x =6) +...+ P(x = 10) \\= \binom{10}{6}(0.64)^6(1-0.64)^4 +...+ \binom{10}{10}(0.64)^{10}(1-0.79)^0\\=0.7291

0.7291 is the probability that more than half out of 10 vehicles carry just 1 person.

B) By normal approximation

Sample size, n = 92

p = 0.64

\mu = np = 92(0.64) = 58.88

\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{92(0.64)(1-0.64)} = 4.60

We have to evaluate the probability that more than 47 cars carry just one person.

P(x \geq 47)

After continuity correction, we will evaluate

P( x \geq 46.5) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{46.5 - 58.88}{4.60}) = P(z > -2.6913)

= 1 - P(z \leq -2.6913)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x > 46.5) = 1 - 0.004 = 0.996 = 99.6\%

0.996 is the probability that more than half out of 92 vehicles carry just one person.
