What is y-intercept for the line y=8x+21

Blood type AB is the rarest blood type, occurring in only 4% of the population in the United States. In Australia, only 1.5% of

Naddik [55]

Answer:

There is a 27.62% probability that exactly 2 of the U.S. residents have blood type AB.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each U.S. resident, there are only two outcomes possible. Either they have blood type AB, or they do not. This means that we can solve this problem using binomial probability distribution concepts.

Binomial probability distribution

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

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

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 $\pi$ is the probability of X happening.

In this problem, we have that:

50 U.S residents are sampled, so $n = 50$

4% of the U.S population has blood type AB, so $p = 0.04$ .

What is the probability that exactly 2 of the U.S. residents have blood type AB?

This is P(X = 2). So:

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

$P(X = 2) = C_{50,2}.(0.04)^{2}.(0.96)^{48} = 0.2762$

There is a 27.62% probability that exactly 2 of the U.S. residents have blood type AB.

Which of the following statements is true?

Ivahew [28]

The correct answer is C. A scalene triangle can be a right triangle.

This is because a scalene triangle is a triangle where all of the sides and angles are different from one another. This automatically tells us that options A and D are incorrect, because equiangular triangles have all 3 angles equivalent and if two sides were of equal length in the triangle, then it would not be scalene.

This leaves us with options B and C. An obtuse triangle simply has one angle with a measure greater than 90 degrees, and a right triangle is a triangle with a right angle (an angle that measures exactly 90 degrees). Scalene triangles can be both obtuse and right, as long as the side lengths and angles are not equal to one another. This makes option B incorrect, and option C the only correct option out of the four.

Your answer is option C.

Hope this helps!

A hot air balloon is descending at a rate of 287 feet per minute.

faust18 [17]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

$y = mx+b$

where

m is the rate of change or slope

b is the y-intercept

A hot air balloon is descending at a rate of 287 feet per minute.

Thus, the rate of change m = -287

The negative sign indicates that a hot air balloon is descending.

Let y be elevation.

Let x be the time (in minutes)

As there is no mentioning of the initial height.

Thus, the y-intercept b = 0

now substituting m = -287 and b = 0

y = mx + b

y = -287x + 0

y = -287x

In order to determine the total change in elevation of the balloon in 4 minutes, we need to substitute x = 4 in the equation y = -287x.

Thus, the total change in elevation of the balloon in 4 minutes will be:

y = -287x

y = -287(4)

y = -1148 feet

The negative sign indicates that that the elevation is decreasing.
