Through how many radians does the minute hand of a clock turn in three hours?

Line JK passes through points J(–3, 11) and K(1, –3). What is the equation of line JK in standard form?

Hello!

First of all we find the slope by dividing the difference of the y values by the difference of the x values as seen below.

$\frac{-3-11}{1+3} = -\frac{14}{4} = \frac{7}{2}$

The slope of our line is 7/2, or 3.5
-------------------------------------------------------------
Now we will put the slope and a point on our line into slope intercept form and solve for b. We will use (-3,11).

11=3.5(-3)+b
11=10.5+b
b=0.5

Our final equation is shown below.

y=3.5x+0.5

I hope this helps!

businessText message users receive or send an average of 62.7 text messages per day. How many text messages does a text message

KiRa [710]

Answer:

(a) The probability that a text message user receives or sends three messages per hour is 0.2180.

(b) The probability that a text message user receives or sends more than three messages per hour is 0.2667.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of text messages receive or send in an hour.

The random variable X follows a Poisson distribution with parameter λ.

It is provided that users receive or send 62.7 text messages in 24 hours.

Then the average number of text messages received or sent in an hour is: $\lambda=\frac{62.7}{24}= 2.6125$ .

The probability of a random variable can be computed using the formula:

$P(X=x)=\frac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^{x}}{x!} ;\ x=0, 1, 2, 3, ...$

(a)

Compute the probability that a text message user receives or sends three messages per hour as follows:

$P(X=3)=\frac{e^{-2.6125}(2.6125)^{3}}{3!} =0.21798\approx0.2180$

Thus, the probability that a text message user receives or sends three messages per hour is 0.2180.

(b)

Compute the probability that a text message user receives or sends more than three messages per hour as follows:

P (X > 3) = 1 - P (X ≤ 3)

= 1 - P (X = 0) - P (X = 1) - P (X = 2) - P (X = 3)

$=1-\frac{e^{-2.6125}(2.6125)^{0}}{0!}-\frac{e^{-2.6125}(2.6125)^{1}}{1!}-\frac{e^{-2.6125}(2.6125)^{2}}{2!}-\frac{e^{-2.6125}(2.6125)^{3}}{3!}\\=1-0.0734-0.1916-0.2503-0.2180\\=0.2667$
