Answer:

y = m x + b equation of a line where m is the slope

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

Note: If the line passes thru the origin then m = y2 / x2 since

y1 = x1 = 0

Twenty percent of drivers driving between 10 pm and 3 am are drunken drivers. In a random sample of 12 drivers driving between 1

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

(a) 0.28347

(b) 0.36909

(d) 0.9806

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

n=12

p = 20% = 0.2

q = 1-p = 1-0.2 = 0.8

Binomial formula:

$P(x=r)=^nC_rp^rq^{n-r}$

(a) Exactly two will be drunken drivers.

$P(x=2)=^{12}C_{2}(0.2)^{2}(0.8)^{12-2}$

$P(x=2)=66(0.2)^{2}(0.8)^{10}$

$P(x=2)=\approx 0.28347$

Therefore, the probability that exactly two will be drunken drivers is 0.28347.

(b)Three or four will be drunken drivers.

$P(x=3\text{ or }x=4)=P(x=3)\cup P(x=4)$

$P(x=3\text{ or }x=4)=P(x=3)+P(x=4)$

Using binomial we get

$P(x=3\text{ or }x=4)=^{12}C_{3}(0.2)^{3}(0.8)^{12-3}+^{12}C_{4}(0.2)^{4}(0.8)^{12-4}$

$P(x=3\text{ or }x=4)=0.236223+0.132876$

$P(x=3\text{ or }x=4)\approx 0.369099$

Therefore, the probability that three or four will be drunken drivers is 0.3691.

(c)

At least 7 will be drunken drivers.

$P(x\geq 7)=1-P(x$

$P(x\leq 7)=1-[P(x=0)+P(x=1)+P(x=2)+P(x=3)+P(x=4)+P(x=5)+P(x=6)]$

$P(x\leq 7)=1-[0.06872+0.20616+0.28347+0.23622+0.13288+0.05315+0.0155]$

$P(x\leq 7)=1-[0.9961]$

$P(x\leq 7)=0.0039$

Therefore, the probability of at least 7 will be drunken drivers is 0.0039.

(d) At most 5 will be drunken drivers.

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

$P(x\leq 5)=0.06872+0.20616+0.28347+0.23622+0.13288+0.05315$

$P(x\leq 5)=0.9806$

Therefore, the probability of at most 5 will be drunken drivers is 0.9806.

What is the value of x?

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle 30° and 2x are complementary angles.

Two angles are called complementary angles, if their sum is one right angle (90°).

Therefore we have the equation:

30 + 2x = 90 <em>subtract 30 from both sides</em>

2x = 60 <em>divide both sides by 2</em>

x = 30
