Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

It makes a sense. It is the equation of a straight line in slope intercept form.

We use this formula when need to find the equation of a st.line passing through point or to find the slope from the equation.

In this equation "m" represents slope of a line, "x" is a variable, "b" is the constant value, and "y" is a also a variable.

Example:

Find slope from the equation y= 3x+5.

》Solution,

Given;

y = 3x+5.....(i)

Comparing the equation with y =mx+b, we get;

slope (m)= 3.

Hope it helps..

What is the axis of symmetry of h(x)= 5x^2+40x+ 64?

andrezito [222]

Answer:

Axis of symmetry is x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x)= 5x^2+40x+ 64

Use the formula for axis of symmetry: x = -b/(2a)

Here, a = 5, b = 40, c = 64

x = -40/(2*5) = -40/10 = -4

Axis of symmetry is x = -4

To which subset of real numbers does the number 1/5 belong?

nasty-shy [4]

Answer: Option 'B' and 'C' are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that irrational numbers are those real number which cannot be written in $\frac{p}{q}$ form.

Rational numbers are those real numbers which can be written in $\frac{p}{q}$ form.

Inverse property of multiplication is that property in which we write a number in reciprocal form .

Whole numbers starts from 0 and Natural numbers start from 1 and Integers contain both positive and negative numbers.

Hence, $\frac{1}{5}$ belongs to rational numbers sets and inverse property of multiplication sets.

Therefore, Option 'B' and 'C' are correct.

f) The life of a power transmission tower is exponentially distributed, with mean life 25 years. If three towers, operated indep

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

15.24% probability that at least 2 will still stand after 35 years

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the binomial distribution and the exponential distribution.

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.

Exponential distribution:

The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:

$f(x) = \mu e^{-\mu x}$

In which $\mu = \frac{1}{m}$ is the decay parameter.

The probability that x is lower or equal to a is given by:

$P(X \leq x) = \int\limits^a_0 {f(x)} \, dx$

Which has the following solution:

$P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}$

The probability of finding a value higher than x is:

$P(X > x) = 1 - P(X \leq x) = 1 - (1 - e^{-\mu x}) = e^{-\mu x}$

Probability of a single tower being standing after 35 years:

Single tower, so exponential.

Mean of 25 years, so $m = 25, \mu = \frac{1}{25} = 0.04$

We have to find $P(X > 35)$

$P(X > 35) = 1 - P(X \leq x) = 1 - (1 - e^{-\mu x}) = e^{-0.04*35} = 0.2466$

What is the probability that at least 2 will still stand after 35 years?

Now binomial.

Each tower has a 0.2466 probability of being standing after 35 years, so $p = 0.2466$

3 towers, so $n = 3$

We have to find:

$P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)$

In which

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

$P(X = 2) = C_{3,2}.(0.2466)^{2}.(0.7534)^{1} = 0.1374$

$P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.2466)^{3}.(0.7534)^{0} = 0.0150$

$P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.1374 + 0.0150 = 0.1524$

15.24% probability that at least 2 will still stand after 35 years

1948 Olympics

mash [69]

Answer:

For 1948 Men's :Interquartile range is 1.5, Median is 58.3

For 2012 Men's: Interquartile range is 0.315, Median is 47.86

You can infer that in 2012 the swimmers were better and it was more competitive as the interquartile range was lower and the median was also lower as well

Step-by-step explanation:

1948 Men's 100m

57.3, 57.8, 58.1, 58.3, 58.3, 59.3, 59.6,1:00.5

⬆ ⬆ ⬆

Low IQR Median High IQR

Low IQR is average of 57.8 and 58.1 = 57.95

High IQR is average of 59.3 and 59.6 = 59.45

Median is average of 58.3 and 58.3 = 58.3

Interquartile range is High IQR- Low IQR

59.45 - 57.95=1.5

2012 Men's 100m

47.52, 47.53, 47.8, 47.84, 47.88, 47.92, 48.04, 48.44

⬆ ⬆ ⬆

Low IQR Median High IQR

Low IQR is average of 47.53 and 47.8 = 47.665

High IQR is average of 48.04 and 47.92 = 47.98

Median is average of 47.88 and 47.84 = 47.86

Interquartile range is High IQR-Low IQR

47.98-47.665=0.315
