Answer:

slope= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

firstly calculating the values of x and y for slopes.

-3/2x - 1/2y = 8

(-3x-y)= 8×2

-(3x+y) = 16

3x+y = -16

if x= -2

-6 + y = -16

y=-10

.: (x₁,y₁)=(-2,-10)

if x= -5

-15 + y = -16

y = -1

.: (x₂,y₂)=(-5,-1)

Using slope formula,

slope= (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

slope = [-1-(-10)] / [-5-(-2)]

slope= [-1+10]/[-5+2]

slope= 9/(-3)

slope= -3

£980 is divided between Caroline, Sarah & Gavyn so that Caroline gets twice as much as Sarah, and Sarah gets three times as

Nitella [24]

Sarah has received £ 294

Solution:

Given that £980 is divided between Caroline, Sarah & Gavyn

Let "c" be the amount received by caroline

Let "s" be the amount received by sarah

Let "g" be the amount received by gavyn

Caroline gets twice as much as Sarah

amount received by caroline = twice as much as Sarah

amount received by caroline = 2(amount received by sarah)

c = 2s ---- eqn 1

Sarah gets three times as much as Gavyn

amount received by sarah = three times as much as Gavyn

amount received by sarah = 3(amount received by gavyn)

s = 3g ------- eqn 2

Given that total amount is 980

c + s + g = 980 --- eqn 3

Let us solve eqn 1, 2, 3 to get values of "c" "s" "g"

From eqn 2,

$g = \frac{s}{3}$ --- eqn 4

Substitute eqn 1 and eqn 4 in eqn 3

$2s + s + \frac{s}{3} = 980\\\\\frac{6s + 3s + s}{3} = 980\\\\6s + 3s + s = 980 \times 3\\\\10s = 2940\\\\s = 294$

Thus sarah has received £ 294

Suppose that the number of drivers who travel between a particular origin and destination during a designated time period has a

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

a) P(k≤11) = 0.021

b) P(k>23) = 0.213

c) P(11≤k≤23) = 0.777

P(11<k<23) = 0.699

d) P(15<k<25)=0.687

Step-by-step explanation:

a) What is the probability that the number of drivers will be at most 11?

We have to calculate P(k≤11)

$P(k\leq11)=\sum_0^{11} P(k$

$P(k=0) = 20^0e^{-20}/0!=1 \cdot 0.00000000206/1=0\\\\P(k=1) = 20^1e^{-20}/1!=20 \cdot 0.00000000206/1=0\\\\P(k=2) = 20^2e^{-20}/2!=400 \cdot 0.00000000206/2=0\\\\P(k=3) = 20^3e^{-20}/3!=8000 \cdot 0.00000000206/6=0\\\\P(k=4) = 20^4e^{-20}/4!=160000 \cdot 0.00000000206/24=0\\\\P(k=5) = 20^5e^{-20}/5!=3200000 \cdot 0.00000000206/120=0\\\\P(k=6) = 20^6e^{-20}/6!=64000000 \cdot 0.00000000206/720=0\\\\P(k=7) = 20^7e^{-20}/7!=1280000000 \cdot 0.00000000206/5040=0.001\\\\$

$P(k=8) = 20^8e^{-20}/8!=25600000000 \cdot 0.00000000206/40320=0.001\\\\P(k=9) = 20^9e^{-20}/9!=512000000000 \cdot 0.00000000206/362880=0.003\\\\P(k=10) = 20^{10}e^{-20}/10!=10240000000000 \cdot 0.00000000206/3628800=0.006\\\\P(k=11) = 20^{11}e^{-20}/11!=204800000000000 \cdot 0.00000000206/39916800=0.011\\\\$

$P(k\leq11)=\sum_0^{11} P(k$

b) What is the probability that the number of drivers will exceed 23?

We can write this as:

$P(k>23)=1-\sum_0^{23} P(k=x_i)=1-(P(k\leq11)+\sum_{12}^{23} P(k=x_i))$

$P(k=12) = 20^{12}e^{-20}/12!=8442485.238/479001600=0.018\\\\P(k=13) = 20^{13}e^{-20}/13!=168849704.75/6227020800=0.027\\\\P(k=14) = 20^{14}e^{-20}/14!=3376994095.003/87178291200=0.039\\\\P(k=15) = 20^{15}e^{-20}/15!=67539881900.067/1307674368000=0.052\\\\P(k=16) = 20^{16}e^{-20}/16!=1350797638001.33/20922789888000=0.065\\\\P(k=17) = 20^{17}e^{-20}/17!=27015952760026.7/355687428096000=0.076\\\\P(k=18) = 20^{18}e^{-20}/18!=540319055200533/6402373705728000=0.084\\\\$

$P(k=19) = 20^{19}e^{-20}/19!=10806381104010700/121645100408832000=0.089\\\\P(k=20) = 20^{20}e^{-20}/20!=216127622080213000/2432902008176640000=0.089\\\\P(k=21) = 20^{21}e^{-20}/21!=4322552441604270000/51090942171709400000=0.085\\\\P(k=22) = 20^{22}e^{-20}/22!=86451048832085300000/1.12400072777761E+21=0.077\\\\P(k=23) = 20^{23}e^{-20}/23!=1.72902097664171E+21/2.5852016738885E+22=0.067\\\\$

$P(k>23)=1-\sum_0^{23} P(k=x_i)=1-(P(k\leq11)+\sum_{12}^{23} P(k=x_i))\\\\P(k>23)=1-(0.021+0.766)=1-0.787=0.213$

c) What is the probability that the number of drivers will be between 11 and 23, inclusive? What is the probability that the number of drivers will be strictly between 11 and 23?

Between 11 and 23 inclusive:

$P(11\leq k\leq23)=P(x\leq23)-P(k\leq11)+P(k=11)\\\\P(11\leq k\leq23)=0.787-0.021+ 0.011=0.777$

Between 11 and 23 exclusive:

$P(11< k$

d) What is the probability that the number of drivers will be within 2 standard deviations of the mean value?

The standard deviation is

$\mu=\lambda =20\\\\\sigma=\sqrt{\lambda}=\sqrt{20}= 4.47$

Then, we have to calculate the probability of between 15 and 25 drivers approximately.

$P(15$

$P(k=16) = 20^{16}e^{-20}/16!=0.065\\\\P(k=17) = 20^{17}e^{-20}/17!=0.076\\\\P(k=18) = 20^{18}e^{-20}/18!=0.084\\\\P(k=19) = 20^{19}e^{-20}/19!=0.089\\\\P(k=20) = 20^{20}e^{-20}/20!=0.089\\\\P(k=21) = 20^{21}e^{-20}/21!=0.085\\\\P(k=22) = 20^{22}e^{-20}/22!=0.077\\\\P(k=23) = 20^{23}e^{-20}/23!=0.067\\\\P(k=24) = 20^{24}e^{-20}/24!=0.056\\\\$
