The Census Bureau says that the 10 most common names in the United States are (in order) Smith, Johnson, Williams, Jones, Brown,

Jones, Miller, Davis, Garcia, Rodriguez, Wilson. These names account for 9.6% of all U.S. residents.
Out of curiosity, you look at the authors of the textbooks for your current courses. There are 11 authors in all. Would you be surprised if none of the names of these authors were among the 10 most common?
 Give a probability to support your answer. Your answer should be rounded to three decimal places

Using binomial distribution where success is the appearing of any of the top 10 most common names, thus probability of success (p) is 9.6% = 0.096 and the probability of failure = 1 - 0.096 = 0.904. Number of trials is 11.
Binomial distribution probability is given by P(x) = nCx (p)^x (q)^(n - x)
Probability that none of the top 10 most common names appears is P(0) = 11C0 (0.096)^0 (0.904)^(11 - 0) = (0.904)^11 = 0.3295
Thus, the probability that at least one of the 10 most common names appear is 1 - 0.3295 = 0.6705

Therefore, I will be supprised that none of the names of the authors were among the 10 most common names given that the probability that at least one of the names appear is 67%.

slope is change in y over change in x

 use 2 points from the table so -3,-21 and -6,-39

change in Y: -39 - -21 = -18

change in x = -6 - -3 = -3

slope = -18/-3 = 6

slope = 6

Superman needs to save Lois from the clutches of Lex Luthor. After flying for 6 seconds, he is 2430 meters from her. Then at 12
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

2700.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total distance would be 2700.

Distance traveled between in 6th second and 12th second is 2430-2160=270 meter. That means Superman covered 270 meter in 6 seconds.

So, now if he is moving at the same speed, he should cover the same distance in first 6 seconds which is 270 meter.

Suppose the whole distance is X when time is 0, and after flying for 6 seconds he now is 2430 meter away. It means that he must have covered the distance of X-2430=270.

Finding for X, we gets the full initial distance, when time was 0.

The simple trick is, once we get the distance he has covered in 6 seconds, we can form the equation like subtracting the whole distance- remaining distance equals to covered distance.
