The equation of a line is x + 5y = 12. What is the y-intercept of the line

1 answer:

4 0

Simple...

remember isolate the variable...

x+5y=12

x+5y=12
-x

5y=12-x

Now divide y 5....

$\frac{5y}{5} = -\frac{x}{5} + \frac{12}{5}$

The y-intercept would be....

$\frac{12}{5}$

Thus, your answer.

Harlene tosses two number cubes. If a sum of 8 or 12 comes up, she gets 9 points. If not, she loses 2 points. What is the expect

Amanda [17]

P(8 or 12) = 1/6
P(not 8 or 12 = 5/6
Let the expected points fro one roll be X.
$E(X)=9\times\frac{1}{6}-2\times\frac{5}{6}=-\frac{1}{6}\ points$
The answer is -(1/6) points.

Annette [7]

Answer:

0.24315

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the z score formula to solve this question

z = (x - μ) / σ,

Such that:

x = raw score

μ = population mean

σ = population standard deviation.

From the question:

x = 3000

μ = 3550

σ = 870

z = (3000 - 3550) / 870

z = -550/870

z = -0.6962

Using the z score table as well as probability calculator(as requested in the question to find the z score)

The probability of having less than 3000 is obtained as:

P(x<3000) = 0.24315
