The equation d = 2t + 8 gives d, the total depth in inches of accumulated snow based on t, the time in hours since a storm began

. Using this equation, how much snow can be expected to fall with each additional hour?

Answer:

It is expected to fall 2 inches of snow for each additional hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we want to find the amount of snow that will fall for each additional hour, we just need to use slope of the equation.

The slope is the value '2' that is together with the variable 't', and it means that if we increase the value of t by 1 unit, the value of d will increase by 2 units.

So we have that for each additional hour, it is expected to fall 2 inches of snow.

8th Grade Functions: Bike Race

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Juan wins the race

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The graph is shown in attached image.</u>

<u />

The black line is Juan's graph.

The green line is Antonio's graph.

The graph shows the distance (y-axis) with time (x-axis).

The end of the curve(s) means the end of the race. Both curve's ending point in y-axis is 4 miles so the end of the race is 4 miles.

But in x-axis, we see the time:

Juan finishes at 13 minutes

Antonio finishes at 15 minutes

<u>Definitely Juan wins the race</u>

Lie detectors Refer to Exercise 82. Let Y = the number of people who the lie detector says are telling the truth.

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

a) $P(Y\geq 10) = PX \leq 2) = 0.558$

b) $E(X) = \mu_X = np = 12*0.2 = 2.4$

$\sigma_X = \sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{12*0.2*(1-0.2)}=1.386$

$E(Y) = \mu_Y = np = 12*0.8 = 9.6$

$\sigma_Y = \sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{12*0.8*(1-0.8)}=1.386$

For this case the expected value of people lying is 2.4 and the complement is 9.6 and that makes sense since we have a total of 12 poeple.

And the deviation for both variables are the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this previous info : "A federal report finds that lie detector tests given to truthful persons have probability about 0.2 of suggesting that the person is deceptive. A company asks 12 job applicants about thefts from previous employers, using a lie detector to assess their truthfulness. Suppose that all 12 answer truthfully. Let X = the number of people who the lie detector says are being deceptive"

For this case the distribution of X is binomial $X \sim N(n=12, p=0.2)And we define the new random variable Y="the number of people who the lie detector says are telling the truth" so as we can see y is the oppose of the random variable X, and the distribution for Y would be given by:[tex] Y \sim Bin (n=12,p=1-0.2=0.8)$

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

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

Part a

For this case we want to find this probability:

$P(Y \geq 10) = P(Y=10)+P(Y=11) +P(Y=12)$

And if we find the individual probabilites we got:

$P(Y=10)=(12C10)(0.8)^{10} (1-0.8)^{12-10}=0.283$

$P(Y=11)=(12C11)(0.8)^{11} (1-0.8)^{12-11}=0.206$

$P(Y=12)=(12C12)(0.8)^{12} (1-0.8)^{12-12}=0.069$

And if we replace we got:

$P(Y \geq 10) =0.283+0.206+0.069=0.558$

And for this case if we find $P(X\leq 2)=P(X=0) +P(X=1)+P(X=2)$ for the individual probabilites we got:

$P(X=0)=(12C0)(0.2)^0 (1-0.2)^{12-0}=0.069$

$P(X=1)=(12C1)(0.2)^1 (1-0.2)^{12-1}=0.206$

$P(X=2)=(12C2)(0.2)^2 (1-0.2)^{12-2}=0.283$

$P(X\leq 2)=0.283+0.206+0.069=0.558$

So as we can see we have $P(Y\geq 10) = P(X \leq 2) = 0.558$

Part b

Random variable X

For this case the expected value is given by:

$E(X) = \mu_X = np = 12*0.2 = 2.4$

And the deviation is given by:

$\sigma_X = \sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{12*0.2*(1-0.2)}=1.386$

Random variable Y

For this case the expected value is given by:

$E(Y) = \mu_Y = np = 12*0.8 = 9.6$

And the deviation is given by:

$\sigma_Y = \sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{12*0.8*(1-0.8)}=1.386$

For this case the expected value of people lying is 2.4 and the complement is 9.6 and that makes sense since we have a total of 12 poeple.

And the deviation for both variables are the same.

Emma has 5 3/8 punds of potato salad and 2 7/8 pounds of egg salad for a picnic. How many more pounds of potato salad than egg s

Stella [2.4K]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is C. $2\frac{1}{2}$ pounds

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given that Emma has $5\frac{3}{8}$ pounds of potato salad and $5\frac{3}{8}$ pounds of egg salad for a picnic.

We are to find out how much more pounds Emma has of potato salad than the egg salad.

To find this, we simple need to subtract the pounds of egg salad from the pounds of potato salad.

$5\frac{3}{8} - 5\frac{3}{8}$ $=\frac{43}{8} -\frac{23}{8} =\frac{43-23}{8} = 2\frac{1}{2}$ pounds
