Suppose you are taking the bus home, and can take either Route 51 or Route 82. You know that the Route 82 will arrive at the bus

stop in exactly 5 minutes, but because Route 51 is unreliable, you believe that the amount of time until it arrives is uniformly distributed between 0 and 20 minutes. You take the first bus that arrives. Let T be the number of minutes you wait until you board a bus. Find E[T].

Answer:

E[T] = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

A distribution is called uniform if each outcome has the same probability of happening.

The uniform distribution has two bounds, a and b, and the expected value of the uniform distribution is given by:

E = \frac{a+b}{2}

Uniformly distributed between 0 and 20 minutes.

This means that a = 0, b = 20

Let T be the number of minutes you wait until you board a bus. Find E[T].

This is

E[T] = \frac{a + b}{2} = \frac{0 + 20}{2} = 10

E[T] = 10

Which of these expressions is equal to 2(43 - p)?
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

C. (2×43) - (2×p)

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is 2(43-p)

Which means 2 is multiplying the bracket.

So the answer to the question is 2×43 - 2×p

Which will give us 86 - 2p

So you then solve all the possible answers to see if it the same answer as the one we got

30 points Given (-3, 1) and (3,-3). The slope of the line is ____________ . The equation of the line is _____________.
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

y = (3/2)x + 11/2

Step-by-step explanation:

As we move from the point (-3, 1) to the point (3, -3), x increases by 6 and y decreases by 4.  Thus, the slope is

m = rise / run = 6/4 = 3/2.

Subbing the knowns into the general point-slope form of the equation of a straight line, we get

y - 1 = (3/2)(x - [-3]), or y - 1 = (3/2)(x + 3).

This is equivalent to y = (3/2)x + 9/2 + 1, or y = (3/2)x + 11/2.

Which relation is a function? <br><br><br> A.<br><br><br> B.<br><br><br> C.<br><br><br> D.
SIZIF [17.4K]
A function is relationship where a member of the Domain maps to one and only one member of the Range.

To prove a relationship is a function, a VERTICAL LINE TEST may be performed.  If a vertical line cuts the graph of a relationship only once then it is a function if not, then it is not.

View the image attached for the test.   

The answer is option A

Answer:

  a)  12

  b)  y +5 = 12(x +2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a function is its derivative.

a) The slope of y = x^3 +3 at any point is y' = 3x^2. So, at the point where x=-2, the slope of the curve is ...

  m = 3(-2)^2 = 12 . . . . slope at (-2, -5)

__

b) The equation of the tangent line is most easily written using the point-slope form of the equation of a line.

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

  y +5 = 12(x +2) . . . . line with slope 12 through point (-2, -5)
