Answer:

<h2>A. -4 (should have negative sign.)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula:

$\sf \dfrac{Y_2-Y_1}{X_2-X_1}$

y2=10

y1=2

x2=4

x1=6

Solve.

$\dfrac{10-2}{4-6}$

10-2=8

4-6=(-2)

Divide.

8÷(-2)=-4

So, the correct answer is -4.

Answer: the actual length and width of the room is 24ft by 36ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale on the architectural plans for a new house is 1 in. equals 4 ft. This means that every 1 inch on the on the architectural plan represents 4 feet on the actual building.

Therefore, if the length of the room as measured on the drawing is 6 inches, the actual length of the room will be

6 × 4 = 24 feet

Also, if the width of the room as measured on the drawing is 9 inches, the actual width of the room will be

9 × 4 = 36 feet

Answer:

84.05 lbs, I think...

Step-by-step explanation:

I divided 164 by 80 and got 2.05

Then I multiplied 2.04 by 41.......I might be wrong... But hopefully I'm not..

Suppose that x is a binomial random variable with n=5, p=. 3,and q=. 7.1. Write the binomial formula for this situation and list

Radda [10]

Answer:

$P(X = x) = C_{5,x}.(0.3)^{x}.(0.7)^{5-x}$

Possible values of x: Any from 0 to 5.

$P(X = 0) = C_{5,0}.(0.3)^{0}.(0.7)^{5-0} = 0.16807$

$P(X = 1) = C_{5,1}.(0.3)^{1}.(0.7)^{5-1} = 0.36015$

$P(X = 2) = C_{5,2}.(0.3)^{2}.(0.7)^{5-2} = 0.3087$

$P(X = 3) = C_{5,3}.(0.3)^{3}.(0.7)^{5-3} = 0.1323$

$P(X = 4) = C_{5,4}.(0.3)^{4}.(0.7)^{5-4} = 0.02835$

$P(X = 5) = C_{5,5}.(0.3)^{5}.(0.7)^{5-5} = 0.00243$

Step-by-step explanation:

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 combinations 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 question:

$n = 5, p = 0.3, q = 1 - p = 0.7$

$P(X = x) = C_{5,x}.(0.3)^{x}.(0.7)^{5-x}$

Possible values of x: 5 trials, so any value from 0 to 5.

For each value of x calculate p(☓ =x)

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{5,0}.(0.3)^{0}.(0.7)^{5-0} = 0.16807$

$P(X = 1) = C_{5,1}.(0.3)^{1}.(0.7)^{5-1} = 0.36015$

$P(X = 2) = C_{5,2}.(0.3)^{2}.(0.7)^{5-2} = 0.3087$

$P(X = 3) = C_{5,3}.(0.3)^{3}.(0.7)^{5-3} = 0.1323$

$P(X = 4) = C_{5,4}.(0.3)^{4}.(0.7)^{5-4} = 0.02835$

$P(X = 5) = C_{5,5}.(0.3)^{5}.(0.7)^{5-5} = 0.00243$
