Answer:

see below for the graph

Step-by-step explanation:

The intercept form of a linear equation is ...

x/(x-intercept) + y(y-intercept) = 1

You can put the given equation into this form by dividing by -2. Then you have ...

-x/(-2) +y/(-2) = 1

x/2 + y/(-2) = 1 . . . . . the x-intercept is 2; the y-intercept is -2

The graph shows the line through these points.

the ratio of boys to girls in a class is 5:4 there are 36 students in the class how many students are girls

Alina [70]

First add up the total parts in the ratio.
5 + 4 = 9
Now we need to know the value of each part
36 / 9 = 4
The girls has total of 4 parts, therefore we can just multiply the number of parts by the amount in each part
4 x 4 = 16
So there r 16 girls in the class

41% of U.S. adults have very little confidence in newspapers. You randomly select 10 U.S. adults. Find the probability that the

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

a) 0.2087 = 20.82% probability that the number of U.S. adults who have very little confidence in newspapers is exactly five.

b) 0.1834 = 18.34% probability that the number of U.S. adults who have very little confidence in newspapers is at least six.

c) 0.3575 = 35.75% probability that the number of U.S. adults who have very little confidence in newspapers is less than four.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each adult, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have very little confidence in newspapers, or they do not. The answers of each adult are independent, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

41% of U.S. adults have very little confidence in newspapers.

This means that $p = 0.41$

You randomly select 10 U.S. adults.

This means that $n = 10$

(a) exactly five

This is $P(X = 5)$ . So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 5) = C_{10,5}.(0.41)^{5}.(0.59)^{5} = 0.2087$

0.2087 = 20.82% probability that the number of U.S. adults who have very little confidence in newspapers is exactly five.

(b) at least six

This is:

$P(X \geq 6) = P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 6) = C_{10,6}.(0.41)^{6}.(0.59)^{4} = 0.1209$

$P(X = 7) = C_{10,7}.(0.41)^{7}.(0.59)^{3} = 0.0480$

$P(X = 8) = C_{10,8}.(0.41)^{8}.(0.59)^{2} = 0.0125$

$P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.41)^{9}.(0.59)^{1} = 0.0019$

$P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.41)^{10}.(0.59)^{0} = 0.0001$

Then

$P(X \geq 6) = P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.1209 + 0.0480 + 0.0125 + 0.0019 + 0.0001 = 0.1834$

0.1834 = 18.34% probability that the number of U.S. adults who have very little confidence in newspapers is at least six.

(c) less than four.

This is:

$P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.41)^{0}.(0.59)^{10} = 0.0051$

$P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.41)^{1}.(0.59)^{9} = 0.0355$

$P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.41)^{2}.(0.59)^{8} = 0.1111$

$P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.41)^{3}.(0.59)^{7} = 0.2058$

$P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0051 + 0.0355 + 0.1111 + 0.2058 = 0.3575$

0.3575 = 35.75% probability that the number of U.S. adults who have very little confidence in newspapers is less than four.

Write the equation in vertex form for the parabola with focus (7, –27/4) and directrix y= – 13/4

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

x2 +8x +4y +4 = 0

4y= -x2 -8x -4y = -.25*x^2 -2x -1

a = -.25b = -2c = -1

x position of vertex:

h = -b / 2a

h = 2 / 2*-.25h = 2 / -.5h = -4

y position of vertex:

k = ah^2 + bh + ck = -.25*-4^2 + -2*-4 + -1k = -4 +8 -1k = 3

VERTEX = (-4, 3)*

x value of focus =x value of vertex = -4

y value of focus =(1 (-b^2 -4ac)) / 4a

a = -.25 b = -2 c =-1

y value = (1 (-4 -4*-.25*-1)) / 4*-.25

y value = (1 (-4 -4*-.25*-1)) / -1

y value = (1 -4 +1) / -1y value = (-2 / -1)y value = 2

focus value = (-4, 2)

Answer is the last one.
