Someone help please! Determine the intercept of the line that passes through the following points ​
storchak [24]

Answer:

x: (-5.0)

y: (0, -17.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept of the line is when y=0. In the table is the point (-5,0). This is the x-intercept.

To find the y-intercept, find when x=0. Write an equation for the table in y=mx + b. Find the slope between two points first.

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{7-0}{-7--5} =\frac{7}{-7+5}=-\frac{7}{2} = -3.5

The slope is -3.5. So the equation is

y - 7 = -3.5(x--7)

y - 7 = -3.5 (x+7)

y - 7 = -3.5x - 24.5

y = 3.5x - 17.5

Since it is in y=mx+b, b= -17.5 and this is the y-intercept.

The University of Washington claims that it graduates 85% of its basketball players. An NCAA investigation about the graduation
Nonamiya [84]

Probabilities are used to determine the chances of events

The given parameters are:

  • Sample size: n = 20
  • Proportion: p = 85%

<h3>(a) What is the probability that 11 out of the 20 would graduate? </h3>

Using the binomial probability formula, we have:

P(X = x) = ^nC_x p^x(1 - p)^{n -x}

So, the equation becomes

P(x = 11) = ^{20}C_{11} \times (85\%)^{11} \times (1 - 85\%)^{20 -11}    

This gives

P(x = 11) = 167960 \times (0.85)^{11} \times 0.15^{9}

P(x = 11) = 0.0011

Express as percentage

P(x = 11) = 0.11\%

Hence, the probability that 11 out of the 20 would graduate is 0.11%

<h3>(b) To what extent do you think the university’s claim is true?</h3>

The probability 0.11% is less than 50%.

Hence, the extent that the university’s claim is true is very low

<h3>(c) What is the probability that all  20 would graduate? </h3>

Using the binomial probability formula, we have:

P(X = x) = ^nC_x p^x(1 - p)^{n -x}

So, the equation becomes

P(x = 20) = ^{20}C_{20} \times (85\%)^{20} \times (1 - 85\%)^{20 -20}    

This gives

P(x = 20) = 1 \times (0.85)^{20} \times (0.15\%)^0

P(x = 20) = 0.0388

Express as percentage

P(x = 20) = 3.88\%

Hence, the probability that all 20 would graduate is 3.88%

<h3>(d) The mean and the standard deviation</h3>

The mean is calculated as:

\mu = np

So, we have:

\mu = 20 \times 85\%

\mu = 17

The standard deviation is calculated as:

\sigma = np(1 - p)

So, we have:

\sigma = 20 \times 85\% \times (1 - 85\%)

\sigma = 20 \times 0.85 \times 0.15

\sigma = 2.55

Hence, the mean and the standard deviation are 17 and 2.55, respectively.

Paul and jose are trying to measure the height of a tree. paul is standing 19m from the foot of the tree and measures the angle
Nina [5.8K]
The firts thig we are going to do is create tow triangles using the angles of elevation of Paul and Jose. Since the problem is not giving us their height we'll assume that the horizontal line of sight of both of them coincide with the base of the tree.
We know that Paul is 19m from the base of the tree and its elevation angle to the top of the tree is 59°. We also know that the elevation angle of Jose and the top of the tree is 43°, but we don't know the distance between Paul of Jose, so lets label that distance as x.
Now we can build a right triangle between Paul and the tree and another one between Jose and the tree as shown in the figure. Lets use cosine to find h in Paul's trianlge:
cos(59)= \frac{19}{h}
h= \frac{19}{cos(59)}
h=36.9
Now we can use the law of sines to find the distance x between Paul and Jose:
\frac{sin(43)}{36.9} = \frac{sin(16)}{x}
x= \frac{36.9sin(16)}{sin(43)}
x=14.9

Now that we know the distance between Paul and Jose, the only thing left is add that distance to the distance from Paul and the base of the tree:
19m+14.9=33.9m

We can conclude that Jose is 33.9m from the base of the tree.

Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for 20 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 15 hours. Together the
posledela
Let's call x1: The rate per hour of the number one mechanic. X2: The rate per hour of mechanic number two. The first thing you should do is identify the system of equations that best describes the problem. In this case it is a system of 2 equations with two unknowns which when solved gives a total of x1 = 85 $ / h and x2 = 50 $ / h. Attached solution.
