Answer:

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Any line with a slope of 0 is horizontal, represented by the equation y = a number. That number is the y-value of all the points the line intersects.

We know that that the line intersects (9,5). So, take the y-value of that point and write it into the equation of y = a number. Thus, the answer is y =5.

Jordan has 4/5 as many DVDs as Joseph. If Jordan has 56 DVDs, then how many does joseph have?

Andreyy89

Jordan has 4/5 as many DVDs as Joseph means joseph has more DVDs than Jordan. number of joseph's DVDs * 4/5 = 56 so
<span>number of joseph's DVDs= 56 * 5/4 = 70</span>

For a binomial process, the probability of success is 40 percent and the number of trials is 5. Find the standard deviation.

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

$Sd(X) =\sqrt{1.2}=1.095$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=5, p=0.4)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

The mean for the binomial distribution is given by:

$E(X) =np=5*0.4=2$

And the variance is given by:

$Var(X) = np(1-p) =5*0.4*(1-0.4)=1.2$

And the deviation is just the square root of the variance so we got:

$Sd(X) =\sqrt{1.2}=1.095$

What is the unit rate that converts gallons to quarts?

BigorU [14]

Volume units quarts to gallons (fluid and dry) conversion factor is 0.25 (quart is 1/4 of an gallon). To find out how many gallons in quarts, multiply by the factor, or simply use the converter below. 1 Quart = 0.25 (1/4) Gallon [US, UK, Fluid or Dry] Quart and gallon are imperial and US customary volume measurement units. In US customary system, both units have different volume capacity for dry and fluid measurements but in imperial (UK), the volume is the same for both fluid and dry measurement.

A flagpole is located at the edge of a sheer y = 70-ft cliff at the bank of a river of width x = 40 ft. See the figure below. An

Gnom [1K]

I would solve this using tangents. Let h be height of flagpole.
Set up 2 right triangles, each with a base of 40.
The larger triangle has height of "h+70"
Smaller triangle has height of 70.

Now write the tangent ratios:
$tan A = \frac{h+70}{40} , tan B = \frac{70}{40}$

Note: A-B = 9
To solve for h we need to use the "Difference Angle" formula for Tangent
$tan (A-B) = \frac{tanA - tanB}{1+tan A tan B}$
Plug in what we know:
$tan(9) = \frac{ \frac{h+70}{40} - \frac{70}{40}}{1+ (\frac{h+70}{40})(\frac{7}{4})}$
$tan (9) = \frac{ \frac{h}{40}}{ \frac{7h +650}{160}} = \frac{4h}{7h+650}$
$h = \frac{650 tan(9)}{4-7 tan(9)}$
$h = 35.6$
