Answer:

<em>The approximate probability that a random vehicle is a passenger car is 74.67%</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Probability</u>

The traffic engineer records 112 passenger cars, 18 light trucks, and 20 heavy trucks. The total of vehicles recorded is n=112+18+20 = 150.

We are required to find the probability that a randomly selected vehicle crossing the bridge is a passenger car. There are 112 passenger cars, thus the probability is:

\displaystyle p=\frac{112}{150}

p = 0.7467

p = 74.67%

The approximate probability that a random vehicle is a passenger car is 74.67%

What would the equation be ?
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

y = 4/5x-18/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the slope from the given points (-3,-6) (2,-2)

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (-2 - -6)/(2 - -3)

   (-2+6)/( 2+3)

  4/5

The slope intercept form of an equation is

y = mx +b  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 4/5 x +b

Substitute a point into the equation to find b

-6= 4/5(-3) +b

-6= -12/5 +b

Add 12/5 to each side

-6 +12/5 = -12/5 +12/5 +b

Get a common denominator

-30/5 + 12/5 = b

-18/5 =b

The equation is

y = 4/5x-18/5
