A farmer from Whidbey Island: A man claims his whalebone can detect water. You design an experiment using a set of 4 cans, 3 emp

ty, and one filled with water. You present the farmer with a total of 5 different but similar sets of cans. For each trial, you ask the farmer to identify which of the four cans has the water. How many cans would you expect the farmer to correctly identify by chance? (Round to the nearest 4 decimal places.)

Answer:

The value is E(x) =  1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The number of cans is n = 4

The number of can that are empty is N = 3

The number of can filled with water is k = 1

The number number of sets of cans is w = 5

Generally probability of detecting the correct can is mathematically represented as

p  =  \frac{k}{n}

=> p  =  \frac{1}{4}

=> p  = 0.25

Generally probability of not detecting the correct can is mathematically represented as

q =  1- p

q =  1- 0.25

q = 0.75

Generally the number of cans expected of the farmer to correctly identify by chance is mathematically represented as

E(x) =  w  *  p

=> E(x) =  5  * 0.75

=> E(x) =  1.25

Find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to line g that contains (P, Q). coordinate plane with line g that passes throu
maw [93]

Answer:

y - Q =  -  \frac{1}{4}(x - P)

Step-by-step explanation:

Line g passes through (-2,6) and (-3,2).

The slope of line g is given by:

\frac{ y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Let's substitute the values to get:

\frac{2 - 6}{ - 3 -  - 2}= \frac{ - 4}{ - 1}  = 4

The equation that is perpendicular to line g will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of 4.

i.e -1/4

If this line passes through (P,Q), then the equation is:

y - Q =  - \frac{1}{4} (x - P)

Graph the system of inequalities y> 2x +1
lubasha [3.4K]
The first thing to do in this case is to graph both equations
 y = 2x +1
 y = / x /
 Once graphed, you must evaluate points in the Cartesian plane that satisfy the inequations to know where the solution set is.
 For this case, the solution set is in the shaded region, or equivalently, quadrants 1 and 2.
 answer
 quadrants 1 and 2.
