Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The opposite of a number is found by taking the opposite sign of the one given. The opposite of 3 is -3; the opposite of -2 is 2.

Therefore, the opposite of -5.5 (point P) is 5.5 (point S).

Which equation represents the line that passes through (-3,5) and is parallel to the graph of y= -2/3x+5

Nostrana [21]

Parallel to the graph of y = -2/3x + 5
means that it has the same slope

Rewrite
y = -2/3x + b
plug in the given coordinates to solve for b
5 = -2/3(-3) + b
5 = 2 + b
subtract 2 from both sides
3 = b

plug that back into the equation
y = -2/3x + b
y = -2/3x + 3

The answer is B. y= -2/3x+3

This line is parallel to y = -2/3x + 5 and it passes the point (3, 5).

Hope this helps :)

The probability that a male will be colorblind is .042. Find the probabilities that in a group of 53 men, the following are true

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

See below for answers and explanations

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

$\displaystyle P(X=x)=\binom{n}{x}p^xq^{n-x}\\\\P(X=5)=\binom{53}{5}(0.042)^5(1-0.042)^{53-5}\\\\P(X=5)=\frac{53!}{(53-5)!*5!}(0.042)^5(0.958)^{48}\\\\P(X=5)\approx0.0478$

Part B

$P(X\leq5)=P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)+P(X=4)+P(X=5)\\\\P(X\leq5)=\binom{53}{1}(0.042)^1(1-0.042)^{53-1}+\binom{53}{2}(0.042)^2(1-0.042)^{53-2}+\binom{53}{3}(0.042)^3(1-0.042)^{53-3}+\binom{53}{4}(0.042)^4(1-0.042)^{53-4}+\binom{53}{1}(0.042)^5(1-0.042)^{53-5}\\\\P(X\leq5)\approx0.9767$

Part C

$\displaystyle P(X\geq 1)=1-P(X=0)\\\\P(X\geq1)=1-(1-0.042)^{53}\\\\P(X\geq1)\approx1-0.1029\\\\P(X\geq1)\approx0.8971$
