Answer:

2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

16/72 is the same thing as 2/9, just simplified. If you make 16 to 72 in a fraction you get 16/72. You divide them with their GCF which is 8. 16 divided by 8 is 2 and 72 divided by 8 is 9. Therefore the answer is 2/9.

If the points at (-4, 3) and (2, 3) are reflected over the x-axis to create two new points, what shape can be formed by the four

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $(a,b)\in \mathbb{R}^{2}$ , a reflection over the x-axis consists in the following operation:

$(a,b) \rightarrow (a,-b)$

If we know that $X = (-4,3)$ and $Y = (2, 3)$ , then the points translated over the x-axis are $X' = (-4, -3)$ and $Y' = (2,-3)$ , respectively. The most precise description of the shape is a rectangle for the following facts:

1) $XX' = YY' = 8$ and $XY = X'Y' = 6$ .

2) $X$ and $X'$ have the same x-component.

3) $Y$ and $Y'$ have the same x-component.

4) $X$ and $Y$ have the same y-component.

5) $X'$ and $Y'$ have the same y-component.

A representation of the shape is included below as attachment.

The waiting time at an elevator is uniformly distributed between 30 and 200 seconds. what is the probability a rider must wait m

stira [4]

1.5 minutes = 90 second

The probability density function is

$f_X(x)=\begin{cases}\dfrac1{200-30}=\dfrac1{170}&\text{for }30\le x\le200\\\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

so the probability of interest is

$\mathbb P(X>90)=\displaystyle\int_{90}^\infty f_X(x)\,\mathrm dx$
$\mathbb P(X>90)=\dfrac1{170}\displaystyle\int_{90}^{200}\mathrm dx$
$\mathbb P(X>90)=\dfrac{200-90}{170}=\dfrac{11}{17}\approx0.6471$
