Answer:

x = 3/5√10

y = 2√10

Step-by-step explanation:

using the Pythagorean theorem:

y² = 7² - 3² = 49 - 9

y² = 40

y = 2√10

3/4.5 = y/5x

4.5y = 15x

substitute for y:

4.5(2√10) = 15x

15x = 9√10

divide both sides of the equation by 15:

x = (9√10)/15 = 3/5√10

Sal's Sandwich Shop sells wraps and sandwiches as part of its lunch specials. The profit on every sandwich is $2 and the profit
coldgirl [10]
Changing the equation into slope form: y = mx + c, where m is the slope [gradient] and c is the y-intercept.

2x+3y=1470
3y = -2x+1470
y= - \frac{2}{3}x+ \frac{1470}{3}
y=- \frac{2}{3}x+490

The gradient is - \frac{2}{3} and y-intercept is at y=490

Graphing y=- \frac{2}{3}x+490 using slope-intercept method:
a) The slope is a negative slope. The line will go 'down hill'
b) The line must pass the point (0, 490)
c) The line will intercept the x-axis at y = 0
    0 = - \frac{2}{3}x+490
    \frac{2}{3}x = 490
    2x = 1470
    x = \frac{1470}{2}
    x = 735
    So, x-intercept is at (735, 0)

The graph of this function is shown below. The intercepts are labelled at:
y = 490
x = 735

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next month's profit equation

2x+3y=1593

Rewriting this into slope-equation form

3y = -2x+1593
y=- \frac{2}{3}+ \frac{1593}{3}
y= - \frac{2}{3}+531

The gradient, m, equals to - \frac{2}{3}
The y-intercept, c, equals to 531

The equation still has the same gradient with last month's profit equation but different y-intercept. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A linear graph show points of (0, 300) and (450, 0)

We work out the slope: 
\frac{300-0}{0-450} = \frac{300}{-450}=- \frac{20}{30}  =- \frac{2}{3}


Y-intercept at x = 0, so it's at y = 300

Equation y = - \frac{2}{3}+300

An article reports that 1 in 500 people carry the defective gene that causes inherited colon cancer. In a sample of 2000 individ
Tema [17]

Answer:

a) P=0.558

b) P=0.021

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model this random variable as a Poisson distribution with parameter λ=1/500*2000=4.

The approximate distribution of the number who carry this gene in a sample of 2000 individuals is:

P(x=k)=\frac{\lambda^ke^{-\lambda}}{k!} =\frac{4^ke^{-4}}{k!}

a) We can calculate that the approximate probability that between 4 and 9 (inclusive) as:

P(4\leq x\leq 9)=\sum_{k=4}^9P(k)\\\\\\ P(4)=4^{4} \cdot e^{-4}/4!=256*0.0183/24=0.195\\\\P(5)=4^{5} \cdot e^{-4}/5!=1024*0.0183/120=0.156\\\\P(6)=4^{6} \cdot e^{-4}/6!=4096*0.0183/720=0.104\\\\P(7)=4^{7} \cdot e^{-4}/7!=16384*0.0183/5040=0.06\\\\P(8)=4^{8} \cdot e^{-4}/8!=65536*0.0183/40320=0.03\\\\P(9)=4^{9} \cdot e^{-4}/9!=262144*0.0183/362880=0.013\\\\\\

P(4\leq x\leq 9)=\sum_{k=4}^9P(k)=0.195+0.156+0.104+0.060+0.030+0.013=0.558

b) The approximate probability that at least 9 carry the gene is:

P(x\geq9)=1-P(x\leq 8)\\\\\\

P(0)=4^{0} \cdot e^{-4}/0!=1*0.0183/1=0.018\\\\P(1)=4^{1} \cdot e^{-4}/1!=4*0.0183/1=0.073\\\\P(2)=4^{2} \cdot e^{-4}/2!=16*0.0183/2=0.147\\\\P(3)=4^{3} \cdot e^{-4}/3!=64*0.0183/6=0.195\\\\P(4)=4^{4} \cdot e^{-4}/4!=256*0.0183/24=0.195\\\\P(5)=4^{5} \cdot e^{-4}/5!=1024*0.0183/120=0.156\\\\P(6)=4^{6} \cdot e^{-4}/6!=4096*0.0183/720=0.104\\\\P(7)=4^{7} \cdot e^{-4}/7!=16384*0.0183/5040=0.06\\\\P(8)=4^{8} \cdot e^{-4}/8!=65536*0.0183/40320=0.03\\\\

P(x\geq9)=1-P(x\leq 8)\\\\P(x\geq9)=1-(0.018+0.073+0.147+0.195+0.195+0.156+0.104+0.060+0.030)\\\\P(x\geq9)=1-0.979=0.021
