If x = -5 and y = 3 x − 5, then y equals what number?

If the train from Milan, Italy, to Rome, Italy, takes 6 hours at a speed of 130 miles per hour, how many miles from Milan is Rom

Fittoniya [83]

Step-by-step explanation:

the speed is 130 miles / hour.

that means the train travels 130 miles in 1 hour.

so, the question is, how far is it traveling. when it is going with that speed for 6 hours ?

well, 130 × 6 = 780 miles.

formally, speed is "distance / time".

multiplying this by some time, we have then an expression of "(distance / time) × time", which is then simply "distance".

This graph shows the amount of charge left on my computer, c, after I have been awake for h hours.

Looks like 4.5. You want to find what h equals when c equals zero

Given that the measurement is in centimeters, find the area of the circle to the nearest tenth. (Use 3.14 for π)

coldgirl [10]

The area of a circle is equal to the radius squared times pie, basically:

${r}^{2} \times \pi$

The radius is 3, so we multiply 3 times 3 times pie to get the area.

You're gonna want to plug in the following into a calculator:

$3 \times 3 \times 3.14$

After getting 28.26 from such calculator, you need to round to the tenths place. In this number, the tenths place is the 2 next to the decimal on the right. Because the number after the 2 is a 6, that means we need to simplify the answer to (28.3). When you are rounding a number, you look at the number to the right, if it is 5 or bigger, add one and remove the rest, if it is less than 5, just get rid of the rest and leave it as it is.

Some parts of California are particularly earthquake-prone. Suppose that in one metropolitan area, 33% of all homeowners are ins

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

(a) The probability mass function of X is:

$P(X=x)={4\choose x}\ (0.33)^{x}\ (1-0.33)^{4-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...$

(b) The most likely value for X is 1.32.

(c) The probability that at least two of the four selected have earthquake insurance is 0.4015.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X is defined as the number among the four homeowners who have earthquake insurance.

The probability that a homeowner has earthquake insurance is, p = 0.33.

The random sample of homeowners selected is, n = 4.

The event of a homeowner having an earthquake insurance is independent of the other three homeowners.

(a)

All the statements above clearly indicate that the random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 4 and p = 0.33.

The probability mass function of X is:

$P(X=x)={4\choose x}\ (0.33)^{x}\ (1-0.33)^{4-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...$

(b)

The most likely value of a random variable is the expected value.

The expected value of a Binomial random variable is:

$E(X)=np$

Compute the expected value of X as follows:

$E(X)=np$

$=4\times 0.33\\=1.32$

Thus, the most likely value for X is 1.32.

(c)

Compute the probability that at least two of the four selected have earthquake insurance as follows:

P (X ≥ 2) = 1 - P (X < 2)

= 1 - P (X = 0) - P (X = 1)

$=1-{4\choose 0}\ (0.33)^{0}\ (1-0.33)^{4-0}-{4\choose 1}\ (0.33)^{1}\ (1-0.33)^{4-1}\\\\=1-0.20151121-0.39700716\\\\=0.40148163\\\\\approx 0.4015$

Thus, the probability that at least two of the four selected have earthquake insurance is 0.4015.
