Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that according to the U.S. Census Bureau, the prob ability that a randomly selected household speaks only English at home is 0.81.

The probability that a randomly selected household speaks only Spanish at home is 0.12.

(a)  the probability that a randomly selected household speaks only English or only Spanish at home

= 0.81+0.12 = 0.93

(since these two are disjoint sets)

(b)  the probability that a randomly selected household speaks a language other than only English or only Spanish at home

= 1-0.93= 0.07 (remaining)

(c)  the probability that a randomly selected household speaks a language other than only English at home

=1-0.81=0.19

(d) Can the probability that a randomly selected household speaks only Polish at home equal 0.08? Why or why not?

Polish alone can never exceed 1-(0.81+0.12) i.e. 0.70

At most it can take values as 0.7 only

So no is the answer.

Write an equation of a line passing through the point (4,-9) and parallel to the line 3x-6y=30
sesenic [268]

The equation of a line in the slope intercept form is expressed as

y = mx + c

Where

m represents slope

c represents y intercept

The equation of the given line is expressed as

3x - 6y = 30

Rearranging it so that it will look like the slope intercept form, it becomes

6y = 3x - 30

Dividing both sides by 6, it becomes

6y/6 = 3x/6 - 30/6

y = x/2 - 5

Looking at the equation, slope, m = 1/2

If two lines are parallel, it means that they have equal slope. This means that the slope of the line parallel to the given line is 1/2

To determine the y intercept, c of the line passing through the point (4, - 9), we would substitute

x = 4, y = - 9 and m = 1/2 into the slope intercept equation. It becomes

- 9 = 1/2 * 4 + c

- 9 = 2 + c

c = - 9 - 2

c = - 11

By substtuting m = 1/2 and c = - 11 into the slope intercept equation, the equation of the line would be

y = x/2 - 11
