Answer:

C.) <-11, -10>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define how to work with vectors.

For two vectors:

V = <a, b>

W = <c, d>

The product of a scalar k and a vector is given by:

k*V = k*<a, b> = <k*a, k*b>

And the sum (or difference) of two vectors is given by:

V ± W = <a, b> ± <c, d> = <a ± c, b ± d>

Now that we know this, we can solve the problem.

Here we have the vectors:

u = <2, 1>

v = <5, 4>

then:

2u - 3*v = 2*<2, 1> - 3*<5, 4>

= <2*2, 2*1> - <3*5, 3*4>

= <4, 2> - <15, 12>

= <4 - 15, 2 - 12>

= < -11, -10>

Then the correct option is C.

Find PNO, please help asap

Scilla [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since MNP is equilateral, so <PNM=60, and since OP//NM, and <PON is 90, so <MNO=90=<PNM+PNO,so 90=60+<PNO,so <PNO=30

Jack plotted the graph below to show the relationship between the temperature of his city and the number of ice cream cones he s

timurjin [86]

Answer:

(a) The amount of ice cream increase as temperature increases

(b)

$y = 2x + 5$ --- equation

$y = 5$ --- y intercept

$m = 2$ --- slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for graph

Solving (a): The relationship between the variables

From the attached graph, the dots on the graph increases towards up-right direction. This implies that there is a positive correlation between the variables.

In other words;

The amount of ice cream increase as temperature increases

Solving (b): The line of best fit

First, we draw a line through the points (the line should have almost equal points on both sides; see attachment 2).

From (2), we select any 2 points on the line:

$(x_1,y_1) = (15,35)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (0,5)$

The slope (m) is:

$m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \frac{5-35}{0-15}$

$m = \frac{-30}{-15}$

$m = 2$

So, the line of best fit is:

$y = m(x - x_1) + y_1$

Substitute known values:

$y = 2(x - 0) + 5$

$y = 2(x) + 5$

$y = 2x + 5$

The y-intercept is when $x=0$

So, we have:

$y = 2*0 + 5$

$y = 0 + 5$

$y = 5$

An airport limousine can accommodate up to four passengers on any one trip. The company will accept a maximum of six reservation

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

a) 0.109375 = 0.109 to 3 d.p

b) 1.00 to 3 d.p

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of someone that made a reservation not showing up = 50% = 0.5

Probability of someone that made a reservation showing up = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

a) If six reservations are made, what is the probability that at least one individual with a reservation cannot be accommodated on the trip?

For this to happen, 5 or 6 people have to show up since the limousine can accommodate a maximum of 4 people

Let P(X=x) represent x people showing up

probability that at least one individual with a reservation cannot be accommodated on the trip = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)

P(X = x) can be evaluated using binomial distribution formula

Binomial distribution function is represented by

P(X = x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ qⁿ⁻ˣ

n = total number of sample spaces = 6

x = Number of successes required = 5 or 6

p = probability of success = 0.5

q = probability of failure = 0.5

P(X = 5) = ⁶C₅ (0.5)⁵ (0.5)⁶⁻⁵ = 6(0.5)⁶ = 0.09375

P(X = 6) = ⁶C₆ (0.5)⁶ (0.5)⁶⁻⁶ = 1(0.5)⁶ = 0.015625

P(X=5) + P(X=6) = 0.09375 + 0.015625 = 0.109375

b) If six reservations are made, what is the expected number of available places when the limousine departs?

Probability of one person not showing up after reservation of a seat = 0.5

Expected number of people that do not show up = E(X) = Σ xᵢpᵢ

where xᵢ = each independent person,

pᵢ = probability of each independent person not showing up.

E(X) = 6(1×0.5) = 3

If 3 people do not show up, it means 3 people show up and the number of unoccupied seats in a 4-seater limousine = 4 - 3 = 1

So, expected number of unoccupied seats = 1
