Answer:

z = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the points are collinear then the slopes between the points are equal.

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = P (2, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = Q (3, - 2)

m = $\frac{-2+3}{3-2}$ = 1

Repeat with

(x₁, y₁ ) = Q (3, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = R (8, z )

m = $\frac{z+2}{8-3}$ = $\frac{z+2}{5}$ , then

$\frac{z+2}{5}$ = 1 ( multiply both sides by 5 )

z + 2 = 5 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

z = 3

Answer:

Round off to closest value.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to remove the requirement for change, every time the client buys a product for $0.20 the random number that lies between 0 and 1 would be produced also the same would be rounded to the closest value i.e. 0 or 1. In the case when 0 arise so the customer would not have to pay any amount but if 1 arise so the customer have to pay $1. So this type of method would remove the requirement for a minor change

The nicotine content in a single cigarette of a particular brand has a distribution with mean 0.4 mg and standard deviation 0.1

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can define the random variable of interest as: "The nicotine content in a single cigarette " and for this case we know the following parameters:

$\mu = 0.4, \sigma = 0.1$

And for this case we select a sample size of n =100 and we want to find the following probability:

$P(\bar X$

And for this case we can use the z score formula given by:

$z =\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

And replacing we got:

$z= \frac{0.38-0.4}{\frac{0.1}{\sqrt{100}}}= -2$

And we can find the required probability with the normal standard table and we got:

$P(z$

write an equation to find the amount of simple interest, earned on a 600 dollar investment after 9 months, of the interest rate

tatuchka [14]

Equation:
A = P(1 + rt)
How to do it:
First, converting R percent to r a decimal
r = R/100 = 2.5%/100 = 0.025 per year,
putting time into years for simplicity,
9 months ÷ 12 months/year = 0.75 years,
then, solving our equation
A = 600(1 + (0.025 × 0.75)) = ___
