Answer:

Therefore, we conclude that the probability is P=0.31.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that in a recent Kentucky Derby, the betting odds for the favorite horse were 9 to 5. We calculate the  probability that the favorite horse will win the race. Therefore, we get:

P=\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{9}\\\\P=\frac{14}{45}\\\\P=0.31\\

Therefore, we conclude that the probability is P=0.31.

A manufacturing plant uses light bulbs whose life spans are normally distributed, with mean and standard deviation equal to 500
meriva

Answer:

602.50 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a  manufacturing plant uses light bulbs whose life spans are normally distributed, with mean and standard deviation equal to 500 and 50 hours,

It was decided to replace the bulbs so that no more than 2% of the bulbs to burn out between replacement periods

i.e. we have to construct 98% confidence interval right tailed to get this.

Z value is 2.05 for this (Upper tailed 0.98 probability)

Hence margin of error = 2.05 (std dev)\\=2.05(50)\\= 102.50

The upper bound for this would be

500+102.50 =602.50

So to keep below 2% the bulbs to burn out it should be replaced before 602.50 hours.

Which correctly describes how the graph of the inequality 4x - 2y > 20 is shaded?
Phantasy [73]
First we need to express y in this inequality:
-2y > -4x + 20
-y > -2x + 10
y < 2x - 10

The line isn't solid because the "less" sign doesn't include equal in it.
Because the sign is "less than" the shaded part is Below the line.

Merging these 2 conclusion we get the answer:
below the dashed line.

Drag each set of coordinates to the correct location on the table.
kompoz [17]

The required set of coordinates with the match is shown.


Distance between points can be evaluated from the distance formula,
(3, 4) and (2, 1)
= √[(3-2)² + (4-1)²]
= √ 10
Similarly,
The points whose distance between them is √10 are,
(3, 4) and (2, 1)
(-2, 3) and (1, 2)
(-4, -2) and (-3, 1)


The points whose distance between them is √29 are,
(3, 7) and (5, 2)
(5,-2) and (3, 3)
(4, -1) and (-1, 1)

Thus, the required set of coordinates with the match is shown.
