The probability from 1.5 ≤ x ≤ 3 can be calculated by dividing the Area from x=1.5 to x=3 by the total Area of the distribution.

The given distribution is rectangular shaped, so its Area will be = Length x Width = 1 x 3 = 3 square units

From x = 1.5 to x = 3, the length is 1.5 and width is 1. So the area between these two intervals = 1.5 square units.

Thus, <span>P(1.5 ≤ X ≤ 3) = 1.5/3 = 0.5

Answer:

y = -5/3 x + 40

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form is y = ax + b, where a is the slope and b is the y intercept.

So immediately you can see that b must be 40, since the line crosses the y axis at 40.

The slope can be calculated by finding two "nice" points on the line that are also grid lines.

How about (0,40) and (6, 30).

Then, calculate the slope by dividing the y difference by the x difference:

(30-40)/(6-0) = -10/6 = -5/3

So C must be the answer.

There are x number of students at helms. If the number of students increases by 7.8% each year, how many students will be there

vodomira [7]

There will be 1.078x students next year and equation is number of students in next year = x + 7.8% of x

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given, There are "x" number of students at helms.

The number of students increases by 7.8% each year which means if there "x" number of students in present year, then the number of students in next year will be x + 7.8% of x

Number of students in next year = number of students in present year + increased number of students.

$\begin{array}{l}{\text { Number of students in next year }=x+7.8 \% \text { of } x} \\\\ {\text { Number of students in next year }=x\left(1+\frac{7.8}{100}\right)} \\\\ {\text { Number of students in next year }=x(1+0.078)=1.078 x}\end{array}$

Thus there will be 1.078x students in next year

-6(2r +8)=-10(r-3)<br> I need the work to

barxatty [35]

Answer:

r = -39

Step-by-step explanation:

So we are trying to solve the equation for r.

-6(2r + 8) = -10(r - 3)

Divide both sides by -2. (This will make distributing much easier.)

3(2r + 8) = 5(r - 3)

Distribute the 3 on the left side and the 5 on the right side,

6r + 24 = 5r - 15

Subtract 24 from both sides.

6r = 5r - 39

Subtract 5r from both sides.

r = -39

So now we have solve the equation.

I hope you find my answer and explanation to be helpful. Happy studying. :)
