A box contains five keys, only one of which will open a lock. Keys are randomly selected and tried, one at a time, until the loc

k is opened (keys that do not work are discarded before another is tried). Let Y be the number of the trial on which the lock is opened. Find the probability function for Y.

Answer: y-1=\dfrac32(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of a line passes through (a,b) and (c,d) = \dfrac{d-b}{c-a}

In graph(below) given line is passing through (-2,-4) and (2,2) .

Slope of the given line passing through (-2,-4) and (2,2) =\dfrac{-4-2}{-2-2}=\dfrac{-6}{-4}=\dfrac{3}{2}

Since parallel lines have equal slope . That means slope of the required line would be .

Equation of a line passing through (a,b) and has slope m is given by :_

(y-b)=m(x-a)

Then, Equation of a line passing through(-3, 1) and has slope =  is given by

(y-1)=\dfrac32(x-(-3))\\\\\Rightarrow\ y-1=\dfrac32(x+3)

Required equation: y-1=\dfrac32(x+3)

When Angela calculated her net worth; she got this: Net Worth = $435 - $560 = - $125. What does her negative net worth mean?
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The negative net worth mean her liabilities are larger than her assets.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Angela's calculation of net worth:

                            Net Worth = $435 - $560 = - $125

  • Net worth is the difference in assets and debt. If the net worth is negative it means that debt is greater than assets.
  • The same thing is in Angela's case. Her debt or liability is greater than total assets hence making her net worth negative.
  • Her liability is still $125 greater than all of her assets added upon.

The comprehensive strength of concrete is normally distributed with μ = 2500 psi and σ = 50 psi. Find the probability that a ran
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The probability that the diameter falls in the interval from 2499 psi to 2510 psi is 0.00798.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the random variable, X = "Comprehensive strength of concrete". We have information that X is normally distributed with a mean of 2500 psi and a standard deviation of  50 psi (or a variance of 2500 psi). In other words, X \sim N(2500, 2500).

We want to know the probability of the mean of X or \bar{X} that falls in the interval [2499;2510]. From inference theory we know that :

\bar{X} \sim N(2500, \frac{2500}{5}) \Rightarrow \bar{X} \sim N(2500,500)

Now we can find the probability as follows:

P(2499 \leq \bar{X} \leq 2510) \Rightarrow P(\frac{2499 - 2500}{500} \leq \frac{\bar{X} - 2500}{500} \leq \frac{2499 - 2500}{500} ) \Rightarrow\\\Rightarrow P(-0.002 \leq \frac{\bar{X} - 2500}{500} \leq 0.02 ) \Rightarrow P(-0.002 \leq Z \leq 0.02 )

Where Z \sim N(0,1), then:

P(-0.002 \leq Z \leq 0.02 ) \approx P(0 \leq Z \leq 0.02 ) = P(Z \leq 0.02 ) - P(Z \leq 0) \\P(0 \leq Z \leq 0.02 ) = 0.50798 - 0.5 = 0.00798

20. If a certain linear function f(x) is evaluated at 0, the answer is 4.
bija089 [108]

Answer:

y = (1/3)x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Two points on this line are (0, 4) and (3, 5).

As we move from the first point to the second, x increases by 3 and y increases by 1.  Thus, the slope, m, of the line is m = rise / run = 1/3.

Use the slope-intercept equation:  y = mx + b.

If we use the data from the point (0, 4), we get:

4 = (1/3)(0) + b, so that b = 4.  The desired equation is y = (1/3)x + 4.
