<u>It's not given a scatter plot not the characteristics of the variables, but it can be safely assumed as shown below</u>

Answer:

<em>The diver's depth will be -42.9 after 30 minutes</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the trend (or best fit line) for the scuba diver's depth in the ocean is:

y = -3.29x - 10

Where y is the diver's depth and x is the time in minutes.

To predict the diver's depth at x=30 minutes, substitute in the equation:

y = -3.29(10) - 10

y = -32.9 - 10

y = -42.9

Since no units are provided for y, the answer is:

The diver's depth will be -42.9 after 30 minutes

Answer:

y = -1/2x + 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The gradients of perpendicular lines multiply to make -1. The gradient of the line given is 2, so 2 multiplied by something gives us -1. 2 × -1/2 = -1. The gradient of the perpendicular line is -1/2

y = -1/2x + c

Now we can substitute x = 1 and y = 3 into the equation:

3 = -1/2(1) + c
3 = -1/2 + c
c = 3 + 1/2
c = 3 1/2 or 3.5 or 7/2

The equation of the line is y = -1/2x + 3.5

Hope this helps!

A food-packaging apparatus underfills 10% of the containers. Find the probability that for any particular 10 containers the numb

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

a) $P(X = 1) = 0.38742$

b) $P(X = 3) = 0.05740$

c) $P(X = 9) = 0.00000$

d) $P(X \geq 5) = 0.00163$

Step-by-step explanation:

For each container, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is undefilled, or it is not. This means that we can solve this problem using the binomial probability distribution.

Binomial probability distribution:

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

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

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem

There are 10 containers, so $n = 10$ .

A food-packaging apparatus underfills 10% of the containers, so $p = 0.1$ .

a) This is P(X = 1)

$P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.1)^{1}.(0.9)^{9} = 0.38742$

b) This is P(X = 3)

$P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.1)^{3}.(0.9)^{7} = 0.05740$

c) This is P(X = 9)

$P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.1)^{9}.(0.9)^{1} = 0.00000$

d) This is $P(X \geq 5)$ .

Either the number is lesser than five, or it is five or larger. The sum of the probabilities of each event is decimal 1. So:

$P(X < 5) + P(X \geq 5) = 1$

$P(X \geq 5) = 1 - P(X < 5)$

In which

$P(X < 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)$

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.1)^{0}.(0.9)^{10} = 0.34868$

$P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.1)^{1}.(0.9)^{9} = 0.38742$

$P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.1)^{2}.(0.9)^{8} = 0.1937$

$P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.1)^{3}.(0.9)^{7} = 0.05740$

$P(X = 4) = C_{10,4}.(0.1)^{1}.(0.9)^{9} = 0.38742$

So

$P(X < 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.34868 + 0.38742 + 0.19371 + 0.05740 + 0.01116 = 0.99837$

Finally

$P(X \geq 5) = 1 - P(X < 5) = 1 - 0.99837 = 0.00163$

Brandon sights a helicopter above a building that is 200 feet away at an angle of elevation of 30 degrees. To the nearest foot,

Firlakuza [10]

The problem says that <span>Brandon sights a helicopter above a building that is 200 feet away at an angle of elevation of 30 degrees. So, you can calculate the height asked, by following this procedure:
</span>
Tan(α)=Opposite leg/Adjacent leg

α=30°
Opposite leg=x
Adjacent leg=200 feet

When you substitute these values into the formula above (Tan(α)=Opposite leg/Adjacent leg), you have:

Tan(α)=Opposite leg/Adjacent leg
Tan(30°)=x/200

You must clear "x":

x=200xTan(30°)

Therefore, the value of "x" is:

x=115 feet
<span>
How high above the ground the is the helicopter?

The answer is: 115 feet</span>
