Answer:

$3\ track\ practices$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

d ----> distance Tess runs in miles

p ---> the number of track practices she attends

we have

$d=p+8$

This is a linear equation in slope intercept form

where

The slope or unit rate is

$m=1\ mile/track$

The y-intercept (value of d when the value of p is equal to zero) is

$b=8\ miles$

For d=11 miles

substitute in the linear equation and solve for p

$11=p+8$

solve for p

$p=11-8\\p=3\ track\ practices$

Elena L [17]

L=25
If the length is 25 yards then you use 50 yards of fencing for the length, this leaves ten yards for each width of fencing each.
10 yards is 15 yards less than 25 yards showing that this is the correct answer.

[6+4=10 points] Problem 2. Suppose that there are k people in a party with the following PMF: • k = 5 with probability 1 4 • k =

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

1). 0.903547

2). 0.275617

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given :

K people in a party with the following :

i). k = 5 with the probability of $\frac{1}{4}$

ii). k = 10 with the probability of $\frac{1}{4}$

iii). k = 10 with the probability $\frac{1}{2}$

So the probability of at least two person out of the 'n' born people in same month is = 1 - P (none of the n born in the same month)

= 1 - P (choosing the n different months out of 365 days) = $1-\frac{_{n}^{12}\textrm{P}}{12^2}$

1). Hence P(at least 2 born in the same month)=P(k=5 and at least 2 born in the same month)+P(k=10 and at least 2 born in the same month)+P(k=15 and at least 2 born in the same month)

= $\frac{1}{4}\times (1-\frac{_{5}^{12}\textrm{P}}{12^5})+\frac{1}{4}\times (1-\frac{_{10}^{12}\textrm{P}}{12^{10}})+\frac{1}{2}\times (1-\frac{_{15}^{12}\textrm{P}}{12^{15}})$
