A coal car on a train weighs 30 tons plus 1 ton per cubic yard of coal x that it carries. The total weight of a coal car is: f(x

) = x + 30. How will the graph of this function change if the coal car weight is changed to 26 tons?

Answer:

See explanations below

Step-by-step explanation:

In the function

f(x) = x + 30

x represents the volume of coal in cubic yards.

The implicit coefficient of one, i.e. 1x, represents each cubic yard of coal weighs one ton.

The 30 represents the weight in tons of the empty coal car.

Thus when the weight of the coal car is only 26 tons, we replace 30 by 26 to get a new function

f(x) = x + 26.

There are 4 people at a party. Consider the random variable X=’number of people having the same birthday ’ (match only month, N=
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

S = {0,2,3,4}

P(X=0) = 0.573 , P(X=2) = 0.401 , P(x=3) = 0.025, P(X=4) = 0.001

Mean = 0.879

Standard Deviation = 1.033

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of people having same birth month be = x

The number of ways of distributing the birthdays of the 4 men = (12*12*12*12)

The number of ways of distributing their birthdays = 12⁴

The sample space, S = { 0,2,3,4} (since 1 person cannot share birthday with himself)

P(X = 0) = \frac{12P4}{12^{4} }

P(X=0) = 0.573

P(X=2) = P(2 months are common) P(1 month is common, 1 month is not common)

P(X=2) = \frac{3C2 * 12P2}{12^{4} } + \frac{4C2 * 12P3}{12^{4} }

P(X=2) = 0.401

P(X=3) = \frac{4C3 * 12P2}{12^{4} }

P(x=3) = 0.025

P(X=4) = \frac{12}{12^{4} }

P(X=4) = 0.001

Mean, \mu = \sum xP(x)

\mu = (0*0.573) + (2*0.401) + (3*0.025) + (4*0.001)\\\mu = 0.879

Standard deviation, SD = \sqrt{\sum x^{2} P(x) - \mu^{2}}  \\SD =\sqrt{ [ (0^{2} * 0.573) + (2^{2}  * 0.401) + (3^{2} * 0.025) + (4^{2} * 0.001)] - 0.879^{2}}

SD = 1.033

What is the slope formula of (4,2) and (7, 6.5)
Lady_Fox [76]

Suppose the given coordinates are represented as,

\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)=(4,2) \\ (x_2,y_2)=(7,6.5) \end{gathered}

Then, the formula for slope can be expressed as,

\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ m=\frac{6.5-2}{7-4} \end{gathered}

Solving it,

m=\frac{4.5}{3}=1.5

The slope is 1.5.

The formula of (10, 8) anjd (-5,8) is

m=\frac{8-8}{-5-10}

How do i construst a histogram?
icang [17]

A histogram is like a bar graph without gaps between the rectangles. So you first create a bar graph with your labels and title, then you get rid of the gaps between the rectangles.
