Answer:

$P(x \le -3) =0.30$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached probability distribution of x

Required

Find $P(x \le -3)$

To do this, we consider all values of x less than or equal to-3.

So, we have:

$P(x \le -3) =P(x=-5) + P(x = -3)$

From the table:

$P(x=-5) = 0.17$

$P(x = -3) = 0.13$

So, the equation becomes

$P(x \le -3) =P(x=-5) + P(x = -3)$

$P(x \le -3) =0.17 + 0.13$

$P(x \le -3) =0.30$

Consider the following graph.

OLga [1]

The statement best describes Cheryl's computer is option C. Cheryl accelerated to 65 mph, drove at a constant speed for 5.5 minutes, and then decelerated to 45 mph.

<h3>How to find the function which was used to make graph?</h3>

A graph contains data of which input maps to which output.

Analysis of this leads to the relations which were used to make it.

If we know that the function crosses the x-axis at some point, then for some polynomial functions, we have those as roots of the polynomial.

Let's assume the graph of Cheryl's commute was like the one below.

We can see that she started at 0 mph.

One minute later, she was up to 65 mph, so she had accelerated (increased her speed).

At 6.5 min (5.5 min later) her speed was still 65 mph therefore, she was driving at a constant speed.

Over the next 2.5 min, her speed dropped to 45 mph, therefore she was decelerating.

In each box is a step in the process of solving a max/min problem like the one in Question 8. Number these steps in order (1-8)

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

The steps are numbered below

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve a maximum/minimum problem, the steps are as follows.

1. Make a drawing.

2. Assign variables to quantities that change.

3. Identify and write down a formula for the quantity that is being optimized.

4. Identify the endpoints, that is, the domain of the function being optimized.

5. Identify the constraint equation.

6. Use the constraint equation to write a new formula for the quantity being optimized that is a function of one variable.

7. Find the derivative and then the critical points of the function being optimized.

8. Evaluate the y-values of the critical points and endpoints by plugging them into the function being optimized. The largest y- value is the global maximum, and the smallest y-value is the global minimum.

If 3t-7=5t, then 6t=?<br><br> Explain how you got your answer!

kirill [66]

Answer:

6t = -21

Step-by-step explanation:

3t-7 = 5t simplifies by subtracting 5t on both sides, then adding 7 on both sides:

3t -5t -7 +7 = 5t-5t+7

-2t = 7

t = -7/2

Then 6t = 6*-7/2 = -21
