What are the coordinates of the x-intercept of the equation 2x

A cargo plane flew from the US across the Atlantic at 212 mph, and flew back to the US at 232 mph. Given that the first trip too

expeople1 [14]

The return trip was 21.2 hours long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Speed of plane from US = 212 mph

Speed of plane on return trip = 232 mph

Let,

x be the time taken on return trip.

Time taken from US = x+2

We know that;

Distance = Speed * Time

Distance of plane from US = 212(x+2) = 212x+424

Distance on return trip = 232x

As the distance will be same, therefore,

$232x=212x+424\\232x-212x=424\\20x=424$

Dividing both sides by 20

$\frac{20x}{20}=\frac{424}{20}\\x=12.2\ hours$

The return trip was 21.2 hours long.

Answer: 7.9

Step-by-step explanation:

$P=2000, r=0.09, n=2\\\\4000=2000\left(1+\frac{0.09}{2} \right)^{2t}\\\\4000=2000(1.045)^{2t}\\\\2=1.045^{2t}\\\\\log_{1.045} 2=2t\\\\t=\frac{\log_{1.045} 2}{2}\\\\t \approx 7.9$

In Sweden, 10 people are struck by lightning every year, on average. Answer thefollowing questions about a given year in Sweden

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

a) 19.85% probability that a total of two people are struck by lightning during first four months of the year.

b) 22.68% probability that the year has 5 good and 7 bad months

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to use the Poisson distribution and the binomial distribition to solve this question.

Poisson distribution:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given time interval.

Binomial 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.

a.Find the probability that a total of two people are struck by lightning during first four months of the year.

10 people during a year(12 months).

In 4 months, the mean is $\mu = \frac{10*4}{12} = 3.33$

This is P(X = 2).

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-3.33}*(3.33)^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.1985$

19.85% probability that a total of two people are struck by lightning during first four months of the year.

b.Say that a month is good is no one is struck by lightning, and bad otherwise. Find the probability that the year has 5 good and 7 bad months.

Probability that a month is good.

P(X = 0), Poisson

The mean is $\mu = \frac{10*1}{12} = 0.8333$

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-0.8333}*(0.8333)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.4346$

Find the probability that the year has 5 good and 7 bad months.

Now we use the binomial distribution, we want P(X = 5) when n = 12, p = 0.4346. So

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

$P(X = 5) = C_{12,5}.(0.4346)^{5}.(0.5654)^{7} = 0.2268$

22.68% probability that the year has 5 good and 7 bad months
