!!HELP: 20 POINTS!!At the end of a snow storm, Jace saw there was a lot of snow on his front lawn. The temperature increased and

the snow began to melt at a steady rate. The depth of snow on Jace's lawn, in inches, can be modeled by the equation S=15-1.5t,where t is the time, in hours, after the snow stopped falling. What is the y-intercept of the equation and what is its interpretation in the context of the problem?

Answer:

the y-intercept is 15 which is the initial total depth of the snow at t=0 hours.

The rate of melting is 1.5inches per hour.  It will take 10 hours at the melting rate given of 1.5 to melt all the snow.

Step-by-step explanation:

the y-intercept is 15, and it might mean that the total depth of the snow is 15 inches.

The rate of melting is 1.5inches per hour.

At time = 0, S=15 - 1.5t = 15 - 1.5(0) = 15 inches to start

At time = 10, S=15 - 1.5t = 15 - 1.5(10) = 0 inches; meaning all snow has melted and it took 10 hours.

ira [324]

Answer:

a) 0.7291 is the probability that more than half out of 10 vehicles carry just 1 person.

b) 0.996 is the probability that more than half of the vehicles  carry just one person.    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

A) Binomial distribution

We treat vehicle on road with one passenger as a success.

P(success) = 64% = 0.64

Then the number of vehicles follows a binomial distribution, where

P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

Now, we are given n = 10

We have to evaluate:

P(x \geq 6) = P(x =6) +...+ P(x = 10) \\= \binom{10}{6}(0.64)^6(1-0.64)^4 +...+ \binom{10}{10}(0.64)^{10}(1-0.79)^0\\=0.7291

0.7291 is the probability that more than half out of 10 vehicles carry just 1 person.

B) By normal approximation

Sample size, n = 92

p = 0.64

\mu = np = 92(0.64) = 58.88

\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{92(0.64)(1-0.64)} = 4.60

We have to evaluate the probability that more than 47 cars carry just one person.

P(x \geq 47)

After continuity correction, we will evaluate

P( x \geq 46.5) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{46.5 - 58.88}{4.60}) = P(z > -2.6913)

= 1 - P(z \leq -2.6913)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x > 46.5) = 1 - 0.004 = 0.996 = 99.6\%

0.996 is the probability that more than half out of 92 vehicles carry just one person.

Multiply x^2+5•x^3+7 <br> I’m getting x^5+5x^3+7x^2+35 But I’m not sure if I’m right
user100 [1]

Answer:

x⁵ + 5x³ + 7x² + 35

Step-by-step explanation:

(x² + 5) (x³ + 7)

To distribute binomials (expressions with two terms), you can use the FOIL method (First, Outer, Inner, Last):

x⁵ + 7x² + 5x³ + 35

To put into standard form, rearrange from highest power to lowest power:

x⁵ + 5x³ + 7x² + 35

-BARSIC- [3]
200 +5(200) = 1200 mochas a week in total
They sold 1000 iced mocha in a week
200 x 4=800 hot mochas in 4 weeks
1000 x 4=4000 iced mochas in 4 weeks
They sold 4000-800= 3200 more iced mochas in 4 weeks
