Explain how you could convert 8 quarts to gallons without measuring

Ede4ka [16]

Explanation:

There are 4 quarts in one gallon.

This means that to convert quarts in to gallons, you just need to divide by 4.

8 divided by 4 is 2

So, there are 2 gallons in 8 quarts.

The equation of the graphed line is 2x – 3y = 12.

bearhunter [10]

Hello there! The x-intercept is 6.

The x-intercept is when the y value id equal to zero, and the line crosses the x axis. In this example, you can see that the line passes through x at the value of 6, making that your answer.

I hope this was helpful and have a great rest of your day!

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation that passes through the given points. (separate equations for each of them)

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Part 1) $y=-\frac{1}{5}x-1$

Part 2) $y=3x-16$

Part 3) $y=4$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of the line into slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

Part 1) we have

(10,-3) (5,-2)

Find the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute

$m=\frac{-2+3}{5-10}$

$m=\frac{1}{-5}$

$m=-\frac{1}{5}$

Find the value of b

we have

$m=-\frac{1}{5}$

$point (10,-3)$

substitute in the equation $y=mx+b$ and solve for b

$-3=-\frac{1}{5}(10)+b$

$-3=-2+b$

$b=-3+2=-1$

substitute

$y=-\frac{1}{5}x-1$

Part 2) we have

(6,2) (7,5)

Find the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute

$m=\frac{5-2}{7-6}$

$m=\frac{3}{1}$

$m=3$

Find the value of b

we have

$m=3$

$point (6,2)$

substitute in the equation $y=mx+b$ and solve for b

$2=3(6)+b$

$2=18+b$

$b=2-18=-16$

substitute

$y=3x-16$

Part 3) we have

(4,4) (-7,4)

Find the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute

$m=\frac{4-4}{-7-4}$

$m=\frac{0}{-11}$

$m=0$

This is a horizontal line (parallel to the x-axis)

The y-intercept b is equal to the y-coordinate

therefore

The equation of the line is

$y=4$

g Suppose a factory production line uses 3 machines, A, B, and C for making bolts. The total output from the line is distributed

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

The probability that it came from A, given that is defective is 0.362.

Step-by-step explanation:

Define the events:

A: The element comes from A.

B: The element comes from B.

C: The element comes from C.

D: The elemens is defective.

We are given that P(A) = 0.25, P(B) = 0.35, P(C) = 0.4. Recall that since the element comes from only one of the machines, if an element is defective, it comes either from A, B or C. Using the probability axioms, we can calculate that

$P(D) = P(A\cap D) + P(B\cap D) + P(C\cap D)$

Recall that given events E,F the conditional probability of E given F is defined as

$P(E|F) = \frac{P(E\cap F)}{P(F)}$ , from where we deduce that

$P(E\cap F) = P(E|F)P(F)$ .

We are given that given that the element is from A, the probability of being defective is 5%. That is P(D|A) =0.05. Using the previous analysis we get that

$P(D) = P(A)P(D|A)+P(B) P(D|B) + P(C)P(D|C) = 0.05\cdot 0.25+0.04\cdot 0.35+0.02\cdot 0.4 = 0.0345$

We are told to calculate P(A|D), then using the formulas we have

$P(A|D) = \frac{P(A\cap D)}{P(D)}= \frac{P(D|A)P(A)}{P(D)}= \frac{0.05\cdot 0.25}{0.0345}= 0.36231884$
