First, write it out in point-slope form and then simplify it to slope-intercept form.
(y+5)=2(x-2)
y+5=2x-4
y=2x-9
The answer is D.

Jason inherited a piece of land from his great-uncle. Owners in the area claim that there is a 45% chance that the land has oil.

inn [45]

P ( A ) = 0.45 - probability that the land has oil,
P ( B ) = 0.8 - probability that the test predicts it
P ( A ∩ B ) = P ( A ) · P ( B ) = 0.45 · 0.8 = 0.36
Answer: The probability that the land has oil and the test predicts it is 36 %.

In a survey of adults who follow more than one sport, 30% listed football as their favorite sport. You survey 15 adults who foll

maxonik [38]

Answer: 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability formula :-

$P(x)=^nC_x\ p^x(q)^{n-x}$ , where P(x) is the probability of getting success in x trials , n is the total trials and p is the probability of getting success in each trial.

Given : The probability that the adults follow more than one game = 0.30

Then , q= 1-p = 1-0.30=0.70

The number of adults surveyed : n= 15

Let X be represents the adults who follow more than one sport.

Then , the probability that fewer than 4 of them will say that football is their favorite sport,

$P(X\leq4)=P(x=0)+P(x=1)+P(x=2)+P(x=3)+P(x=4)\\\\=^{15}C_{0}\ (0.30)^0(0.70)^{15}+^{15}C_{1}\ (0.30)^1(0.70)^{14}+^{15}C_{2}\ (0.30)^2(0.70)^{13}+^{15}C_{3}\ (0.30)^3(0.70)^{12}+^{15}C_{4}\ (0.30)^4(0.70)^{11}\\\\=(0.30)^0(0.70)^{15}+15(0.30)^1(0.70)^{14}+105(0.30)^2(0.70)^{13}+455(0.30)^3(0.70)^{12}+1365(0.30)^4(0.70)^{11}\\\\=0.515491059227\approx0.5$

Hence, the probability rounded to the nearest tenth that fewer than 4 of them will say that football is their favorite sport =0.5
