Let x be the distance from Syracuse where they pass. The first car travels a distance of x in time x/65 while the second car travels a distance 240-x in time (240-x)/55. They pass at the same time after leaving their starting points so x/65=(240-x)/55.
Cross-multiplying we get: 55x=65(240-x)=15600-65x, 120x=15600, x=15600/120=130 miles.
They pass 130 miles from Syracuse.
The equation "y=mx+b" is the slope-intercept forme of a line with slope "m" and y-interceptept (0,b)
In this case:
y=2x+5;
the slope "m" will be equato to : "2".
Answer: the slope is 2.
W=14 that’s because 360-80=280 then you have to divide that by 20. And you get 14 weeks.
Let X be the number of lightning strikes in a year at the top of particular mountain.
X follows Poisson distribution with mean μ = 3.8
We have to find here the probability that in randomly selected year the number of lightning strikes is 0
The Poisson probability is given by,
P(X=k) = 
Here we have X=0, mean =3.8
Hence probability that X=0 is given by
P(X=0) = 
P(X=0) = 
P(X=0) = 0.0224
The probability that in a randomly selected year, the number of lightning strikes is 0 is 0.0224
