Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 6 possible outcomes when you roll this die: 1,2,3,4,5 and 6. Of these, only 5 and 6 are greater than 4, which is 2 successful outcomes. Probability is successful outcomes/total outcomes = 2/6 = 1/3. Hope this helps!

17 - 2n = 9 what’s the answer ?

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

17−2n=9

17+−2n=9

−2n+17=9

Step 2: Subtract 17 from both sides.

−2n+17−17=9−17

−2n=−8

Step 3: Divide both sides by -2.

−2n−2=−8−2

A small regional carrier accepted 23 reservations for a particular flight with 20 seats. 14 reservations went to regular custome

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

- The probability that overbooking occurs means that all 8 non-regular customers arrived for the flight. Each of them has a 56% probability of arriving and they arrive independently so we get that

P(8 arrive) = (0.56)^8 = 0.00967

- Let's do part c before part b. For this, we want an exact booking, which means that exactly 7 of the 8 non-regular customers arrive for the flight. Suppose we align these 8 people in a row. Take the scenario that the 1st person didn't arrive and the remaining 7 did. That odds of that happening would be (1-.56)*(.56)^7.

Now take the scenario that the second person didn't arrive and the remaining 7 did. The odds would be

(0.56)(1-0.56)(0.56)^6 = (1-.56)*(.56)^7. You can run through every scenario that way and see that each time the odds are the same. There are a total of 8 different scenarios since we can choose 1 person (the non-arriver) from 8 people in eight different ways (combination).

So the overall probability of an exact booking would be [(1-.56)*(.56)^7] * 8 = 0.06079

- The probability that the flight has one or more empty seats is the same as the probability that the flight is NOT exactly booked NOR is it overbooked. Formally,

P(at least 1 empty seat) = 1 - P(-1 or 0 empty seats)

= 1 - P(overbooked) - P(exactly booked)

= 1 - 0.00967 - 0.06079

= 0.9295.

Note that, the chance of being both overbooked and exactly booked is zero, so we don't have to worry about that.

Hope that helps!

Have a great day :P

3. What are the intersection points of the line whose equation is y=3x +3 and the

densk [106]

Answer:

Points of intersection of these graphs are (-2, -3) and (0.6, 4.8).

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of the circle → (x - 2)² + y² = 25 ---------(1)

→ (x - 2)² + (y - 0)² = 5²

By comparing this equation with the standard equation of the circle,

(x - a)² + (y - b)²= r²

Here (a, b) is the center and r is the radius of the circle.

Therefore, center of the circle is (2, 0) and radius = 5 units

Second equation is a linear equation → y = 3x + 3 -------(2)

x-intercept of the equation → x = -1

y-intercept of the equation → y = 3

By graphing these equations we can get the point of intersections.

Solving these equations algebraically,

Substitute the value of y from equation (2) in the equation (1),

(x - 2)² + (3x + 3)² = 25

x² - 4x + 4 + 9x² + 18x + 9 = 25

10x² + 14x - 12 = 0

5x² + 7x - 6 = 0

x = $\frac{-7\pm \sqrt{7^2-4(5)(-6)}}{2(5)}$

x = $\frac{-7\pm \sqrt{169}}{10}$

x = $\frac{-7\pm13}{10}$

x = -2, 0.6

From equation (2),

y = -3, 4.8

Therefore, points of intersection of these graphs are (-2, -3) and (0.6, 4.8).

Help me find Sample variance and standard deviation

AnnZ [28]

First, find the mean. You'll need it to compute the variance.

$\bar x=\displaystyle\frac15\sum_{i=1}^5x_i=\dfrac{21+10+6+7+11}5=11$

The variance of the sample is then computed with the formula

$s^2=\displaystyle\dfrac1{5-1}\sum_{i=1}^5(\bar x-x_i)^2=\dfrac{(21-11)^2+\cdots+(11-11)^2}4=\dfrac{71}2=35.5$

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance, so

$s=\sqrt{35.5}\approx5.958$

What transformation is shown below?

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

it's a translation

Step-by-step explanation:

it just moved (3,0). If it were a rotation the y-axis wouldn't be the same. If it were a reflection you would be able to flip the blue triangle onto the red triangle.
