You can set y = to each side of the equation, then multiply by the denominator and put into standard form.

Left side:
.. y = 1/4x -3
.. 4y = x -12 . . . . multiply by 4
.. 4y -x = -12 . . . subtract x

Right side:
.. y = 1/2x +8
.. 2y = x +16 . . . multiply by 2
.. 2y -x = 16 . . . subtract x

These equations correspond to selection B.

Use the fact that the mean of a geometric distribution is μ= 1 p and the variance is σ2= q p2. A daily number lottery chooses th
butalik [34]

Answer:

a). The mean = 1000

     The variance = 999,000

     The standard deviation = 999.4999

b). 1000 times , loss

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of geometric distribution is given as , $\mu = \frac{1}{p}$

And the variance is given by, $\sigma ^2=\frac{q}{p^2}$

Given : $p=\frac{1}{1000}$

             = 0.001

The formulae of mean and variance are :

$\mu = \frac{1}{p}$

$\sigma ^2=\frac{q}{p^2}$

$\sigma ^2=\frac{1-p}{p^2}$

a). Mean =   $\mu = \frac{1}{p}$

              = $\mu = \frac{1}{0.001}$

              = 1000

  Variance =   $\sigma ^2=\frac{1-p}{p^2}$

                  = $\sigma ^2=\frac{1-0.001}{0.001^2}$

                           = 999,000

   The standard deviation is determined by the root of the variance.

    $\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma^2}$

        = $\sqrt{999,000}$ = 999.4999

b). We expect to have play lottery 1000  times to win, because the mean in part (a) is 1000.

When we win the profit is 500 - 1 = 499

When we lose, the profit is -1

Expected value of the mean μ is the summation of a product of each of the possibility x with the probability P(x).

$\mu=\Sigma\ x\ P(x)= 499 \times 0.001+(-1) \times (1-0.001)$

  = $ 0.50

Since the answer is negative, we are expected to make a loss.

Loretta’s income last year was $81,300. She made $56,800 at her salaried job and had additional passive income. If Loretta earne
adell [148]

Answer:

The answer is $2041.67 approx.

Step-by-step explanation:

Loretta’s income last year was $81,300.

Amount made in salary = $56,800

So, additional passive income is = 81300-56800=24500 dollars

Given that Loretta earned the same amount of passive income each month for the entire year.

So, her per month passive earning was = \frac{24500}{12}=2041.67 dollars

Therefore, the answer is $2041.67 approx.

Alison is learning how to walk. 50% of the time that she takes a step she falls down. Her older brother wants to design a simula
MissTica

Answer with explanation:

Alison is learning how to walk.50% of times she takes a step she falls down.

Probability of falling down in next step =\frac{50}{100}=\frac{1}{2}

Probability of not falling down in next step =\frac{50}{100}=\frac{1}{2}

From ,the four option given,we have to find the best simulation which her older brother wants to design a simulation to find the probability that she will fall down 5 out of the next 7 times she tries to take step.

While Simulating the Probability of falling down should be =\frac{5}{7}

And , probability of not falling down1-\frac{5}{7}=\frac{2}{7}

→→⇒F=Falling, NF=Non Falling

A) Roll a die letting 1 represent Alison falling and 2-6 represent Alison not falling. Roll the die five times.

P(F)=\frac{1}{6},P(NF)=\frac{5}{6}

Incorrect option,probabilities of falling and non falling does not match with Actual probability of falling and non falling.  

B) Roll a die letting 1 represent Alison falling and 2-6 represent Alison not falling. Roll the die seven times.

P(F)=\frac{1}{6},P(NF)=\frac{5}{6}

Incorrect option,probabilities of falling and non falling does not match with Actual probability of falling and non falling.

C) Let Heads represent Alison falling down and Tails representing Alison not falling down. Flip the coin five times.

P(F)=\frac{1}{2},P(NF)=\frac{1}{2}

Simulation is done only five times , that is coin has been flipped only five times.it must have been flipped seven times.Incorrect option.  

D) Let Heads represent Alison falling down and Tails representing Alison not falling down. Flip the coin seven times.

P(F)=\frac{1}{2},P(NF)=\frac{1}{2}

Simulation is done seven times , that is coin has been flipped seven times.So,she should fall 5 times that is head should appear 5 out of seven times, and tail should appear 2 out of seven times.correct option.

Option D

What is the sum of the linear expression 3x + 9 and 2x + 4
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

5x + 13

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x + 9 ) + (2x + 4)

It's quite simple, we just have to add the parts that have x to each other and those that don't have x to each other

3x + 2x + 9 +4 =

then the result is

5x + 13
