Answer:

1st Option;

j = 4.5

k = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for "j" first:

=> We know that by the definition of midpoint segment theorem we can say;

3j = 5j - 9

0 = 5j - 3j - 9

0 = 2j - 9

0 + 9 = 2j

9 = 2j

9/2 = j

4.5 = j

=> Now that we have j-value we use the same method to solve for k-value;

6k = k + 10

6k - k = 10

5k = 10

k = 10/5

k = 2

Therefore;

j = 4.5

k = 2

<u>So the first option would be correct!</u>

Hope this helps!

Find the y-intercept of the following equation. Simplify your answer.<br> 10x + y = 8

vredina [299]

Answer: 8

Explanation:

Form: y = mx + b

Where:
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept

We have:
10x + y = 8
y = -10x + 8

Thus, the y-intercept is 8

The probability of an event happening is 23%. What is the complement of the event?

solong [7]

Answer:The probability of the complement of an event is one minus the probability of the event. Since the sum of probabilities of all possible events equals 1, the probability that event A will not occur is equal to 1 minus the probability that event A will occur.

Step-by-step explanation:Complement of an Event: All outcomes that are NOT the event. So the Complement of an event is all the other outcomes (not the ones we want). And together the Event and its Complement make all possible outcomes.

In Northern Yellowstone Lake, earthquakes occur at a mean rate of 1.3 quakes per year. Let X be the number of quakes in a given

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

a) Earthquakes are random and independent events.

b) There is an 85.71% probability of fewer than three quakes.

c) There is a 0.51% probability of more than five quakes.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given time interval.

In this problem, we have that:

In Northern Yellowstone Lake, earthquakes occur at a mean rate of 1.3 quakes per year, so $\mu = 1.3$

(a) Justify the use of the Poisson model.

Earthquakes are random and independent events.

You can't predict when a earthquake is going to happen, or how many are going to have in a year. It is an estimative.

(b) What is the probability of fewer than three quakes?

This is $P(X < 3)$

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

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-1.3}*1.3^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.2725$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-1.3}*1.3^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.3543$

$P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-1.3}*1.3^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2303$

$P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.2725 + 0.3543 + 0.2303 = 0.8571$

There is an 85.71% probability of fewer than three quakes.

(c) What is the probability of more than five quakes?

This is $P(X > 5)$

We know that either there are 5 or less earthquakes, or there are more than 5 earthquakes. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1.

$P(X \leq 5) + P(X > 5) = 1$

$P(X > 5) = 1 - P(X \leq 5)$

In which

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

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-1.3}*1.3^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.2725$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-1.3}*1.3^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.3543$

$P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-1.3}*1.3^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2303$

$P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-1.3}*1.3^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.0980$

$P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-1.3}*1.3^{4}}{(4)!} = 0.0324$

$P(X = 5) = \frac{e^{-1.3}*1.3^{5}}{(5)!} = 0.0084$

$P(X \leq 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.2725 + 0.3543 + 0.2303 + 0.0980 + 0.0324 + 0.0084 = 0.9949$

Finally

$P(X > 5) = 1 - P(X \leq 5) = 1 - 0.9949 = 0.0051$

There is a 0.51% probability of more than five quakes.
