The correct answer is the 2nd choice because -1/6 is closer to 0 and the surface of the pool would be considered 0. -4/6 is farther away from 0 so it is less.
Pretty sure it would be D
Good luck on your finals!
The answer is the second one
Answer:
0.3844 = 38.44% probability that two independently surveyed voters would both be Democrats
Step-by-step explanation:
For each voter, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the voter is a Democrat, or he is not. The probability of the voter being a Democrat is independent of other voters. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.
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 combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

And p is the probability of X happening.
62% of the voters are Democrats
This means that 
(a) What is the probability that two independently surveyed voters would both be Democrats?
This is P(X = 2) when n = 2. So


0.3844 = 38.44% probability that two independently surveyed voters would both be Democrats
Well, the y-intercept is represented by B. So b would be the dot crossing the y-axis in each graph (which you already circled). Next, the slope for top left is: -1.5, top right is: -1.7, bottom left is: 3, and bottom right is: 1.33. I got those by using this very helpful website named Desmos. Now, I’m order to write the equation for each graph is very simple, all you have to do is put in the slope and y-intercept into the equation. For example, the top left one would be:
y = -1.5x + 4 since we know that the slope is equal to -1.5 and the y-intercept is equal to 4. Hope this helps :)
