Answer:
a. p = the population proportion of UF students who would support making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving break a holiday.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are in favor of making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving a holiday, or they are against. This means that we can solve this problem using concepts of 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.
In which 
is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
And p is the probability of X happening.
So, the binomial probability distribution has two parameters, n and p.
In this problem, we have that 
and 
. So the parameter is
a. p = the population proportion of UF students who would support making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving break a holiday.
First you have to set up your equation. 5x+80 and x+15.
4x^2 - 36 = 0
4x^2 = 36
x^2 = 9
x = 3 or -3
the answer is C
Assume that the rule connecting height of the candle to time is a linear one. If you do, then we have to find the equation of this line, and then use this equation to predict the height of the candle after 11 hours.
Two points on this line are (6,17.4) and (23, 7.2). The slope is thus
7.2-17.4 -6
m = --------------- = ----------- or -3/5.
23-6 10
Find the equation of the line. I'm going to use the slope-intercept formula:
y = mx + b => 7.2 = (-3/5)(23) + b. Solving for b, b = 21.
Now we know that y = (-3/5)x + 21
Let x=11 to predict the height of the candle at that time.
y = (-3/5)(11) + 21 = 14.4 inches (answer)
Answer:
It would be 14 because since each book is 3.5cm thick times that by 4 and get 14.
