Both weigh the same, 2000 pounds or one ton. You'll just need a lot more feathers than elephants.;

Help please easy points

Tanya [424]

Answer:

y=2x

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to first find the slope. Lets get two points and apply the slope formula.

(1,2) and (2,4)

Rise: 2

Run: 4

Slope: 2

Then, lets use the standard way of showing a linear equation.

y=mx+b

y=2x+0

A lighthouse is built on an exposed reef, 4.5 miles off-shore. The shoreline is perfectly straight, and a town is located 6 mile

Alisiya [41]

Answer: 3.94 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the following parameters are given:

Distance offshore = 4.5 miles

Distance downshore = 6 miles

Speed when running = 3.4 mph

Speed with boat = 1.8 mph

distance of boat rowing = sqrt(4.5^2 + x^2)

Where

Speed = distance/time

Time = distance/speed

Time = distance of boat rowing/1.8

distance of running = 6 - x

Time = (6-x)/3.4

total travel time

t = sqrt(4.5^2 + x^2)/1.8 + (6 - x)/3.4

dt/dx = x/(1.8×sqrt(4.5^2 + x^2) - 1/3.4

d^2t/dx^2 = +ve at any x

x is at its minimum when dt/dx=0

x/(1.8×sqrt(4.5^2 + x^2) = 1/3.4

x = 6/sqrt(253) × 4.5 = 1.697 miles

Substitute x in

t = sqrt(4.5^2 + x^2)/1.8 + (6 - x)/3.4

We obtaine

t = sqrt(4.5^2 + 1.697^2)/1.8 + (6 - 1.69)/3.4

t = 2.672+ 1.266 = 3.94 hours

1. The probability of telesales representative making a sale on a customer call is 0.15.

Mumz [18]

Answer:

$n = 33$

$n = 19$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The probability of telesales representative making a sale on a customer call is $p = 0.15$

The mean is $\mu = 5$

Generally the distribution of sales call made by a telesales representative follows a binomial distribution

i.e

$X \~ \ \ \ B(n , p)$

and the probability distribution function for binomial distribution is

$P(X = x) = ^{n}C_x * p^x * (1- p)^{n-x}$

Here C stands for combination hence we are going to be making use of the combination function in our calculators

Generally the mean is mathematically represented as

$\mu = n* p$

=> $5= n * 0.15$

=> $n = 33$

Generally the least number of calls that need to be made by a representative for the probability of at least 1 sale to exceed 0.95 is mathematically represented as

$P( X \ge 1) = 1 - P( X < 1 ) > 0.95$

=> $P( X \ge 1) = 1 - P( X =0 ) > 0.95$

=> $P( X \ge 1) = 1 - [ ^{n}C_0 * (0.15 )^0 * (1- 0.15)^{n-0}] > 0.95$

=> $1 - [1 * 1* (0.85)^{n}] > 0.95$

=> $[(0.85)^{n}] > 0.05$

taking natural log of both sides

$n = \frac{ln(0.05)}{ln(0.85)}$

=> $n = 19$
