Answer:

y = -x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the equation of a line

Step 1: find the slope

We are given two points

( 2 , 0) ( 6 , -4)

m = (y_2 - y_1 )/ (x_2 - x_1)

x_1 = 2

y_1 = 0

x_2 = 6

y_2 = -4

Insert the values

m = ( -4 - 0) / ( 6 - 2)

m = -4 / 4

m = -1

Step 2 : substitute m into the equation

y = mx + c

y = -1x + c

Step 3: substitute any of the two points into the equation

Let's pick ( 6 , -4)

x = 6

y = -4

y = mx + c

y = -1x + c

-4 = -1(6) + c

-4 = -6 + c

c = -4 + 6

c = 2

Step 4: substitute c = 2 into the equation

y = mx + c

y = -x + c

y = -x + 2

Answer:

17.6 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the ratio of similar shapes = a : b, then

area of shapes = a ² : b²

Δ PTQ and Δ PRS are similar and so the ratio of corresponding sides are equal, that is

PT : PR = 6 : 9 = 2 : 3, thus

ratio of areas = 2² : 3² = 4 : 9

let the area of Δ PQT be x, then using proportion

\frac{4}{x} = \frac{9}{x+22} ( cross- multiply )

9x = 4(x + 22) ← distribute

9x = 4x + 88 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

5x = 88 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 17.6

Thus area of Δ PQT = 17.6 m²

Hi everybody! I need help, and this question is worth TEN points!

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

we know,

The Angle Addition Postulate states that: If a point  lies in the interior of an angle, then the postulate describes that putting two angles side by side with their vertices together creates a new angle whose measure equals the sum of the measures of the two original angles.

Here, W is the internal point.

The two angles are  UVW and WVX.

Now, by the angle addition postulate,

UVX is equal to the sum of  UVW and WVX.

Hence, the reason is-

A survey on British Social Attitudes asked respondents if they had ever boycotted goods for ethical reasons (Statesman, January
Blababa [14]

Answer:

a) 27.89% probability that two have ever boycotted goods for ethical reasons

b) 41.81% probability that at least two respondents have boycotted goods for ethical reasons

c) 41.16% probability that between 3 and 6 have boycotted goods for ethical reasons

d) The expected number is 2.3 and the standard deviation is 1.33.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the binomial probability distribution 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.

23% of the respondents have boycotted goods for ethical reasons.

This means that p = 0.23

a) In a sample of six British citizens, what is the probability that two have ever boycotted goods for ethical reasons?

This is P(X = 2) when n = 6. So

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

P(X = 2) = C_{6,2}.(0.23)^{2}.(0.77)^{4} = 0.2789

27.89% probability that two have ever boycotted goods for ethical reasons

b) In a sample of six British citizens, what is the probability that at least two respondents have boycotted goods for ethical reasons?

Either less than two have, or at least two. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

P(X < 2) + P(X \geq 2) = 1

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)

In which

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.23)^{0}.(0.77)^{6} = 0.2084

P(X = 1) = C_{6,1}.(0.23)^{1}.(0.77)^{5} = 0.3735

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.2084 + 0.3735 = 0.5819

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.5819 = 0.4181

41.81% probability that at least two respondents have boycotted goods for ethical reasons

c) In a sample of ten British citizens, what is the probability that between 3 and 6 have boycotted goods for ethical reasons?

Now n = 10.

P(3 \leq X \leq 6) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)

P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.23)^{3}.(0.77)^{7} = 0.2343

P(X = 4) = C_{10,4}.(0.23)^{4}.(0.77)^{6} = 0.1225

P(X = 5) = C_{10,5}.(0.23)^{5}.(0.77)^{5} = 0.0439

P(X = 6) = C_{10,6}.(0.23)^{6}.(0.77)^{4} = 0.0109

P(3 \leq X \leq 6) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) = 0.2343 + 0.1225 + 0.0439 + 0.0109 = 0.4116

41.16% probability that between 3 and 6 have boycotted goods for ethical reasons

d) In a sample of ten British citizens, what is the expected number of people that have boycotted goods for ethical reasons? Also find the standard deviation.

E(X) = np = 10*0.23 = 2.3

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{10*0.23*0.77} = 1.33

The expected number is 2.3 and the standard deviation is 1.33.
