Answer:

y+4=-2(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-4)=-2(x-(-1))

y+4=-2(x+1)

Answer:

The variable Y represents the number of meters of string in the third yoyo

Step-by-step explanation:

In this equation y stands for the unknown variable. The equation tell you that hope made 3 different yo-yos so the number of yo-yos hope made isn't unknown, meaning, it cant be the first answer. The problem also tells you that hope used a total of 4 meters of string which means that the total number of string used isn't the unknown variable. The number of meters of string in the third yo-yo is the only number that isn't. This makes the number of sting used in the third yo-yo the unknown variable, making it y.

Assume that different groups of couples use the XSORT method of gender selection and each couple gives birth to one baby. The XS

olganol [36]

Answer:

Mean and Standard deviation for the numbers of girls in groups of 36 births are 18 and 3 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that he X SORT method is designed to increase the likelihood that a baby will be a girl, but assume that the method has no effect, so the probability of a girl is 0.5.

Now consider a group consisting of 36 couples.

The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;

$P(X=r)=\binom{n}{r} \times p^{r} \times (1-p)^{n-r} ;x=0,1,2,3,.....$

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 36 couples

r = number of success

p = probability of success which in our question is probability

of a girl, i.e.; p = 0.5

Let X = Numbers of girls in groups of 36 births

So, X ~ Binom(n = 36, p = 0.5)

Now, mean for the numbers of girls in groups of 36 births is given by;

Mean, E(X) = $n \times p$ = $36 \times 0.5$ = 18

Also, standard deviation for the numbers of girls in groups of 36 births is given by;

Standard deviation, S.D.(X) = $\sqrt{n\times p\times (1-p)}$

= $\sqrt{36\times 0.5\times (1-0.5)}$

= 3

Two equations are given below:

goldenfox [79]

Since the second equation gives a value for a, we can substitute it into the other equation to find a value for B.

Let's substitute b-2 into the first equation wherever there is an a.

a - 3b = 4
(b-2) - 3b = 4
b - 2 - 3b = 4
-2 - 2b = 4
-2b = 6
b = -3

Now let's find a by substituting -3 into either of the equations to find the value of a.

a = b - 2
a = -3 - 2
a = -5

So your solution set is (-5, -3)
