Complete Question

Researchers recorded the speed of ants on trails in their natural environments. The ants studied, Leptogenys processionalis, all have the same body size in their adult phase, which made it easy to measure speeds in units of body lengths per second (bl/s). The researchers found that, when traffic is light and not congested, ant speeds vary roughly Normally, with mean 6.20 bl/s and standard deviation 1.58 bl/s. (a) What is the probability that an ant's speed in light traffic is faster than 5 bl/s? You may find Table B useful. (Enter your answer rounded to four decimal places.)

Answer:

0.7762

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve using z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ, where

x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

Population mean = 6.20 bl/s

Standard deviation = 1.58 bl/s.

x = 5 bl/s

z = 5 - 6.20/1.58

z = -0.75949

The probability that an ant's speed in light traffic is faster than 5 bl/s is P( x > 5)

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x<5) = 0.22378

P(x>5) = 1 - P(x<5)

= 1 - 22378

= 0.77622

Approximately to 4 decimal places = 0.7762

The probability that an ant's speed in light traffic is faster than 5 bl/s is 0.7762

-3x-7y=37 which ordered pair is a solution to this equation
docker41 [41]
In this item, we are not given with the choices for the ordered pair which could be the solution to the given equation. What can be done is to assume a value for one of the variables and solve for the other. To be able to find one that satisfies let x be equal to zero and substitute to the given equation.

    -3(0) - 7y = 37

Simplifying,
  
    -0 - 7y = 37

The value of y from the equation is 37/7. Thus, one of the ordered pairs that satisfies the equation is,

   (0, 37/7)

I NEED HELP PLEASEEEEEE
dybincka [34]

Answer:

A. The function is always decreasing

Step-by-step explanation:

we read a graph from left to right, so we can always compare the increase/decrease of a function by seeing how an x value compares with an x value to the left

(I am aware that this paragraph is really confusing)

we can see that as x increases, from -∞ to 0,

y decreases in correspondence

and that as x increases, from 0 to ∞,

y decreases in correspondence also

So, even though the graph doesn't quite look like it, when x < 0; the function decreases, when x > 0; function decreases--so the function is always decreasing

hope this helps!! have a lovely day :)

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

y=-2/19x

Step-by-step explanation:

slope=(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)=-2/19

y-intercept=0
