Answer:

The correct option is;

B. Use a formula

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Jim and Lillian have the dimensions of the wall they want to paint, therefore, in order to know how much paint they need to buy, they should proceed as follows;

1) Determine the quantity of paint required to paint a unit area of the wall, and record the quantity UA

2) Calculate the area, A, of the wall they want to paint, which is 15 ft. × 9 ft. = 135 ft.²

3) The amount of paint needed, AmP is therefore given by the following formula

AmP = A × AU = 135 × AU

Answer:

5.2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the height of the plant after 7 weeks, we need to find out the equation of the line of best fit and plug in 7 for x. We already have our y - intercept, which is 1, and we have a point on the x axis for which the y coordinate is an integer, (5, 4). Since we already have the y - intercept of +1 we have y = mx + 1. Since this applies to (5,4) we can plug this in to our equation. This is then 4 = 5m + 1. Subtracting 1 from both sides, we get 3 = 5m. Dividing by 5, we receive m = 3/5. Since now we have our slope, we can plug in 7 and find out our answer. Plugging in 7 we receive, y = 3/5 * 7 + 1, which is equal to y = 4.2 + 1. This means that y = 5.2, so 5.2 is our answer.

Does the graph represent a function?

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The vertical line test can be used to determine whether a graph represents a function. ... If we can draw any vertical line that intersects a graph more than once, then the graph does not define a function because that x value has more than one output. A function has only one output value for each input value.

In a clinical study, volunteers are tested for a gene that has been found to increase the risk for a disease. The probability th

MrRa [10]

Answer:

a) 0.984

b) 20 people

Step-by-step explanation:

If The probability that a person carries the gene is 0.1, then in a sample of 20 people, 2 should carry the gene.

Now, we want to know how many samples there are with this property.

Since we have 20 elements where 18 are alike (do not carry the gene) and 2 are alike (carry the gene), we have to compute the number of permutations of 20 elements in which 18 are alike and 2 are alike. This number is

$\frac{20!}{18!2!}=190$

In this 190 20-tuples there are only 3 where the 2 carriers of the gene are in the first 3 places, namely

(1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0)

(1,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0)

(0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0)

where 1=carries the gene, 0=does not carry the gene.

So there are 190-3 = 187 elements in which the first 3 elements have no 2 carriers, hence the probability that 4 or more people will have to be tested until 2 of them with the gene are detected is 187/190 = 0.984 (98.4%) rounded to three decimal places.

Given that the probability that a person carries the gene is 0.1, then in a sample of 20 people, 20*0.1 = 2 should carry the gene.
