Help please: A bus and a train leave a station at the same time, t = 0. The graph shows the bus's distance to the next station o

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

y = (5/2)x + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the bus and train are both at the station at time 0, the y-intercept for the new equation is 20. That is one point on the new graph: (0,20) The question said that the train travels faster, that means it spends less time getting to the next station. The existing graph shows the bus got to the next station in 10 minutes, so maybe the train got there in 8 minutes. So another point on the graph is (8,0) We can use a slope formula to calculate the slope of a new line. Or just count squares on the graph (se image) to find the slope. Slope tells how steep a line is, whether the line is going up or down, but also the slope is like directions how to get from one point to another point on the line.

All you need to write an equation is the slope, m and the y-intercept, b and fill those two numbers into the formula y=mx+b Here slope is 5/2 and y-intercept is 20. So you get

y=(5/2)x +20

How do you solve this equation? x/2 - x = x/4 + 6

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

x= - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply both sides by 4 to get rid of the fractions. you should then get:

2x-4x=x+24

then get all the x terms to one side by subtracting by x on each side:

2x-4x-x=24

then simplify:

-3x=24

divide by -3 on each side:

x= - 8

Suppose the heights of a population of people are normally distributed with a mean of 65.5 inches and a standard deviation of 2.

kupik [55]

Answer:

a) $P(64.2$

b) 69.764

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

2) Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the heights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(65.5,2.6)$

Where $\mu=65.5$ and $\sigma=2.6$

We are interested on this probability

$P(64.2$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

$P(64.2$

And we can find this probability on this way:

$P(-0.50$

And in order to find these probabilities we can find tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.

$P(-0.50$

3) Part b

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

$P(X>a)=0.05$ (a)

$P(X$ (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.95 of the area on the left and 0.05 of the area on the right it's z=1.64. On this case P(Z<1.64)=0.95 and P(z>1.64)=0.05

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

$P(X$
