an airplaine descends 1.5 miles to an elevation of 5.25 miles. find the elevation of the plane before its descent

Maksim231197 [3]

We can then write an equation representing this problem as:

e−1.5mi=5.25mi

Now, add 1.5mi to each side of the equation to solve for e while keeping the equation balanced:

e−1.5mi+1.5mi=5.25mi+1.5mi

e−0=6.75mi

e=6.75mi

The plane's starting elevation was 6.75 miles

Hope this helps!

Assume that there are an equal number of births in each month so that the probability is that a person chosen at random was born

NikAS [45]

Answer:

0.2773 = 27.73% probability that at the May celebration, exactly two members of the group have May birthdays

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have a birthday in May, or they do not. The probability of a person having a birthday in May is independent of any other person. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

Probability of a person being in May:

May has 31 days in a year of 365. So

$p = \frac{31}{365} = 0.0849$

Group of 20 friends:

This means that $n = 20$

What is the probability that at the May celebration, exactly two members of the group have May birthdays?

This is P(X = 2).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 2) = C_{20,2}.(0.0849)^{2}.(0.9151)^{18} = 0.2773$

0.2773 = 27.73% probability that at the May celebration, exactly two members of the group have May birthdays

Which of these relationships would most likely have a NEGATIVE correlation?

Luda [366]

<h3>Answer: Choice C</h3>

Explanation:

As the person spends more time raking, the number of leaves will go down. Therefore, we have a negative correlation. Such correlations occur when one variable goes up while the other goes down (and vice versa).

The reason why it's considered negative correlation is because the regression line has a negative slope.

This is why choice C is the answer. This assumes that no extra leaves fall on the ground, and we assume that we don't have nearby leaves blow into the yard.

In contrast, something like choice A has both variables go up together. As the temperature rises, so does the ice cream sales. The same goes for choice B. We consider these cases to have positive correlation. Choice D doesn't appear to have any correlation at all. The person's height doesn't have any connection to the number of pets they may have.
