First, find the probability of scoring higher than 78. Scores are normally distributed, so you have

\mathbb P(X>78)=\mathbb P\left(\dfrac{X-68.2}{10.4}>\dfrac{78-68.2}{10.4}\right)\approx\mathbb P(Z>0.9423)\approx0.173

Now, the event that any given student scores higher than 78 follows a binomial distribution. Here you have 75 total students (so n=75) with success probability p=0.173.

So the probability of getting 20 students that fit the criterion is

\mathbb P(Y=20)=\dbinom{75}{20}p^{20}(1-p)^{75-20}\approx0.0134

The value of a car depreciates by 35% per year. Work out the current value of a car bought 2 years ago for £20000
Rzqust [24]

First year: the depreciation is (35/100) x 20000 = £7000; now the value of the car is £20000 - £7000 = £13000;

Second year: the depreciation is (35/100) x 13000 = £4550; the current value of the car is £13000 - £4550 = £8450.

1. Write the standard form of the line that passes through the given points. (7, -3) and (4, -8)
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

1. -5x+3y+44=0

2. 2x+y-2=0

3. 2x+y-4=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form of a line is Ax+By+C=0.

If a line passing through two points then the equation of line is

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

where, m is slope, i.e.,m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}.

1.

The line passes through the points (7,-3) and (4,-8). So, the equation of line is

y-(-3)=\dfrac{-8-(-3)}{4-7}(x-7)

y+3=\dfrac{-5}{-3}(x-7)

y+3=\dfrac{5}{3}(x-7)

3(y+3)=5(x-7)

3y+9=5x-35

-5x+3y+9+35=0

-5x+3y+44=0

Therefore, the required equation is -5x+3y+44=0.

2.

We need to find the equation of the line, in standard form, that has a y-intercept of 2 and is parallel to 2 x + y =-5.

Slope of the line : m=\dfrac{-\text{Coefficient of x}}{\text{Coefficient of y}}=\dfrac{-2}{1}=-2

Slope of parallel lines are equal. So, the slope of required line is -2 and it passes through the point (0,2).

Equation of line is

y-2=-2(x-0)

y-2=-2x

2x+y-2=0

Therefore, the required equation is 2x+y-2=0.

3.

We need to find the equation of the line, in standard form, that has an x-intercept of 2 and is parallel to 2x + y =-5.

From part 2, the slope of this line is -2. So, slope of required line is -2 and it passes through the point (2,0).

Equation of line is

y-0=-2(x-2)

y=-2x+4

2x+y-4=0

Therefore, the required equation is 2x+y-4=0.

School pennants cost $18 each. Ms.Lee says she will pay $146 for 7 pennants. Is her answer reasonable?
crimeas [40]

Well, all we have to do to figure out if Ms. Lee’s offer is reasonable is multiply the unit price ($18) by 7

18 x 7 = 126

Since she offered $146, she could actually purchase 8 pennants for $144

Therefore, her answer wouldn’t be reasonable

Hope this helps you

Brainliest would be appreciated!
