Option D

x-intercept is 36 and y-intercept is 9

<u>Solution:</u>

Given equation is:

x + 4y = 36

To find: x and y intercept

The x intercept is the point where the line crosses the x axis

The y intercept is the point where the line crosses the y axis

<h3><u>Finding x - intercept</u></h3>

To find the x-intercept of a given linear equation, plug in 0 for 'y' and solve for 'x'

Substitute y = 0 in given equation

x + 4(0) = 36

x + 0 = 36

x = 36

<h3><u>Finding y - intercept</u></h3>

To find the y-intercept, plug 0 in for 'x' and solve for y

Substitute x = 0 in given equation

0 + 4y = 36

4y = 36

y = 9

Thus x-intercept is 36 and y-intercept is 9

Suppose that 75% of all trucks undergoing a brake inspection at a certain inspection facility pass the inspection. Consider grou

RSB [31]

Answer:

b) 0.2961

c) 0.2251

d) Mean = 11.25, Standard deviation = 1.667

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

We treat trucks undergoing a brake inspection passin as a success.

P( trucks undergoing a brake inspection passes the test) = 75% = 0.75

a) Conditions for binomial probability distribution

There are n independent trial.
Each trial have a success probability p
The probability of success is same for all trials.

Then the number of trucks undergoing a brake inspection follows a binomial distribution, where

$P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}$

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

Now, we are given n = 15

b) P(proportion of groups will between 8 and 10 trucks pass the inspection)

We have to evaluate:

$P(8\leq x \leq 10) = P(x = 8) + P(x = 9) + P(x = 10)\\= \binom{15}{8}(0.75)^8(1-0.75)^7 + \binom{15}{9}(0.75)^9(1-0.75)^6 + \binom{15}{10}(0.75)^{10}(1-0.75)^5\\= 0.0393 + 0.0917 + 0.1651\\= 0.2961$

c) P( exactly 3 trucks fail the inspection)

p = 0.25

$P(x = 3)\\= \binom{15}{3}(0.25)^3(1-0.25)^{12}\\=0.2251$

d) Mean and standard deviation

$\mu = np = 15(0.75) = 11.25\\\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{15(0.75)(1-0.75)} = 1.667$

What is 144/36 simplified?

NARA [144]

144/36 in lowest terms is 4.

To show my work, here.

1. Find the GCF of 144 and 36 so now we divide (144/36 = 4 and 36/36 is 1)

2. Now we have 4/1 so we simplify again so divide 4/1 and its 4

We can use special triangles to solve for x in triangle A<br>true or false

KIM [24]

I believe the answer is false.

explanation: a special triangle has side lengths of 3-4-5 or 6-8-10. In this case since you have 10 one of the other sides would have to be 6 or 8. You can use pythagorean theorem.
