Width = 2,848 km = 2,848,000 m
2,848,000 m * 100 = 284,800,000 cm
If Europe and North America are moving apart at 2 cm per year:
284,000,000 : 2 = 142,400,000 years
Answer: The North Atlantic Ocean began to form 142,400,000 years ago.

krok68 [10]

Answer:

The probability that at least 5 people attend the meeting given that at least 2 attend is 12.50%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

A meeting on an unpopular topic has been announced. The number of attendees may be modeled by X where:

P(X = x) = 1 / 2^(x+1), for x = 0,1,2,...

What is the probability that at least 5 people attend the meeting given that at least 2 attend?

The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:

Given:

P(X = x) = 1 / 2^(x+1), for x = 0,1,2,...                    (1)

Since it is given that at least 2 attend, it implies that we need to calculate P(x) at x = 2.

Substituting x = 2 into equation (1), we have:

P(X = 2) = 1 / 2^(2 + 1)

P(X = 2) = 1 / 2^3

P(X = 2) = 1 / 8

P(X = 2) = 0.1250, or 12.50%

Therefore, is the probability that at least 5 people attend the meeting given that at least 2 attend is 12.50%.

Given the two points (2,4) and (-3,2), what is the slope of the line that goes through both of these points?
Andreyy89
With the formula: m=(y1-y2)/(x1-x2) you can sub in the values to get the slope (m).

m=(4-2)/(2-(-3))
   = 2/5

Therefore the slope is 2/5.
