Answer:

$y = 3x+4$

Step-by-step explanation:

$−6x + 2y = 8$

To solve for y we need to get y alone

To isolate 2y we eliminagte -6x, add 6x on both sides

$−6x+6x + 2y = 8+6x$

$2y = 6x+8$

To get y alone , we need to eliminate 2 from y

Divide both sides by 2

$y = 3x+4$

-6x + 2y = 8
isolate the y
first add 6x to both sides
2y = 6x + 8
then divide everything by 2 to isolate the y
y = 3x + 4

Hope this helps

A spheres radius is multiplied by 2. How is it’s surface area affected

dexar [7]

Answer:

The surface area is multiplied by 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

If r is the radius of a sphere its surface area = 4(pi)r^2. If the radius is doubled then its surface area = 4(pi)(2r)^2 = 4*4(pi)r^2. So the surface area becomes 4-fold or the increase in surface area is 300%.

If 90 percent of automobiles in Orange County have both headlights working, what is the probability that in a sample of eight au

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

$P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)$

And we can find the individual probabilities using the probability mass function

$P(X=7)=(8C7)(0.9)^7 (1-0.9)^{8-7}=0.3826$

$P(X=8)=(8C8)(0.9)^8 (1-0.9)^{8-8}=0.4305$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)=0.3826 +0.4305=0.8131$

Step-by-step explanation:

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest "number of automobiles with both headligths working", on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=8, p=0.9)$
