$y=-3x+8 \\ y=-5x-2 \\ \\ -3x+8=-5x-2 \\ -3x+5x=-2-8 \\ 2x=-10 \\ x=- \frac{10}{2} \\ x=-5 \\ y=-3(-5)+8=15+8=23 \\ \\ \boxed{-5,23}$

The data in the table represent the training times (in seconds) for Adam. Adam 103 105 104 106 100 98 92 91 97 101 Points Concep

Julli [10]

Answer:

A. Miguel has the greatest spread.

The range of the two persons can be determined by:

Adam's range = 106 -91 = 15

Miguel's range = 105 -86 = 19

B. Considering the middle 50% of the training time, the person with the least spread is Adam.

Adam - 103 105 104 106 100

Miguel - 88 86 89 93 105

Adam's 50% range = 106 - 100 = 6

Miguel's 50% range = 105 - 86 = 19

Adam has the least spread

C. Miguel is inconsistent with the time set for training compared to that of Adam.

The answers to parts 2a and 2b show that there is a wide variation in the time that Miguel spend during training, but a minimum variation in the time spent by Adam during training.

In Leakwater township, there are two plumbers. On a particular day three Leakwater residents call village plumbers independently

Marianna [84]

Answer:

25% probability that all three residents will choose the same plumbe

Step-by-step explanation:

For each resident, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they choose the first plumbe, or they choose the second. The plumbers are chosen independent of each other. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
