Answer:

The values of a , b , c are ⇒ a = 1 , b = 10 , c = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets describe the meaning of the linear function

- Linear function is represented by a line graphically

- The equation of the line is y = mx + c, where m is the slope

  of the line and c is the y-intercept (the point of intersection

  between the line and the y-axis is (0 , c))

- m = change of y/change of x

- We can find m from any two points on the line

* Lets use m to find a, b and c

- Use the points (3 , 8) and (5 , 9) to find m

∵ m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

∴ m = (9 - 8)/(5 - 3) = 1/2

- Find a by using points (a , 7) and (3 , 8) ⇒ (or (5 , 9))

∵ m = (8 - 7)/(3 - a) = 1/2

∴ 1/(3 - a) = 1/2  ⇒ by using cross multiplication

∴ 3 - a = 2 ⇒ subtract 3 from both sides

∴ -a = -1 ⇒ × -1 both sides

∴ a = 1

- Find b by using points (5 , 9) and (7 , b) ⇒ (or (3 , 8))

∵ m = (b - 9)/(7 - 5) = (b - 9)/2

∴ (b - 9)/2 = 1/2  ⇒ by using cross multiplication

∴ 2(b - 9) = 2 ⇒ open the bracket

∴ 2b - 18 = 2 ⇒ add 18 to both sides

∴ 2b = 20 ⇒ ÷ 2

∴ b = 10

- Find b by using points (5 , 9) and (c , 11) ⇒ (or (3 , 8))

∵ m = (11 - 9)/(c - 5) = 2/(c - 5)

∴ 2/(c - 5) = 1/2  ⇒ by using cross multiplication

∴ c - 5 = 4 ⇒ add 5 to both sides

∴ c = 9

* The values of a , b , c are ⇒ a = 1 , b = 10 , c = 9

Two cards are dealt at random from a standard deck of 52 cards. What is the probability that the first card is a King and the se
34kurt

Answer:

1 / 51

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Number of cards in a deck = 52

Number of heart suit = 13

Number of kings = 4

Recall:

Probability = (required outcome / Total possible outcomes)

P(first card is king) = 4/52 = 1/13

P(second card is heart) = 13/51

Hence,

P(first card is king) * P(second card is heart)

(1/ 13) * (13/51) = 13 / 663 = 1/ 51

Anna11 [10]

Complete Question

A set of magical wand prices are normally distributed with a mean of 50 dollars and a standard deviation of 4 dollars. A blackthorn wand has a price of 45.20. What proportion of wand prices are lower than the price of the blackthorn wand? You may round your answer to four decimal places

Answer:

0.1151

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve using z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ, where

x is the raw score = $45.20

μ is the population mean = $50

σ is the population standard deviation = $4

We are solving for x < 45.20

Hence:

z = 45.20 - 50/4

z = -1.2

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x<45.20) = 0.11507

Approximately to 4 decimal places = 0.1151

Therefore, the proportion of wand prices that are lower than the price of the blackthorn wand is 0.1151
