Answer:

x+y=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given a slope of -1, and the point (2,5)

We want to write an equation of the line in standard form

Standard form is written as ax+by=c, where a, b, and c are free integer coefficients, but a and b cannot be zero, and a cannot be negative

One way to write the equation of the line in standard form is to first write it in slope-intercept form, and then convert to standard form.

Slope intercept form is written as y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Since we are already given the slope of the line (-1), we can immediately plug it into the equation y=mx+b

y=-1x+b, or y=-x+b

Now we need to solve for b

As the equation should contain the point (2, 5), it should pass through that point; therefore, it is a solution to the equation, and we can use it to help solve for b

substitute 2 as x and 5 as y:

5=-1(2)+b

Multiply

5=-2+b

add 2 to both sides

7=b

Substitute 7 as b:

y=-x+7

Now we have the equation in slope-intercept form, but remember; we want it in standard form.

Standard form has both x and y on one side, so we can add x to both sides to convert to standard form.

x + y = 7

The equation is written in standard form; a and b (the coefficients in front of x and y) are both not zero, and a is not negative. So we are done.

Hope this helps!

Let X be the number of Heads in 10 fair coin tosses. (a) Find the conditional PMF of X, given that the first two tosses both lan

inn [45]

Answer:

Follows are the solution to the given point:

Step-by-step explanation:

For option A:

In the first point let z be the number of heads which is available on the first two trails of tosses so, the equation is:

$P(X=k | z=2 ) = \begin{pmatrix} 10-2\\ k-2\end{pmatrix} (\frac{1}{2})^{k-2} (\frac{1}{2})^{10-k}$

$= \begin{pmatrix} 8\\k-2\end{pmatrix} (\frac{1}{2})^{k-2} (\frac{1}{2})^{10-k} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \\\\$

$k= 2,3..........10$ For option B:

$P(X=k | X \geq 2 ) = \sum^{10}_{i=2} \begin{pmatrix} 10-i\\ k-i\end{pmatrix} (\frac{1}{2})^{k-i} (\frac{1}{2})^{10-k}$

$k= 2,3, 4.........10$

Consider the given density curve.

Pavel [41]

We want to find the median for the given density curve.

The value of the median is 1.

Let's see how to solve this.

First, for a regular set {x₁, ..., xₙ} we define the median as the middle value. The difference between a set and a density curve is that the density curve is continuous, so getting the exact middle value can be harder.

Here, we have a constant density curve that goes from -1 to 3.

Because it is constant, the median will just be equal to the mean, thus the median is the average between the two extreme values.

Remember that the average between two numbers a and b is given by:

(a + b)/2

So we get:

m = (3 + (-1))/2 = 1

So we can conclude that the value of the median is 1, so the correct option is the second one, counting from the top.

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

6. C. 16.64 km

7. B. P 216.00

8. B. P 565 425

9. C. 0.27

10. D. 24.6875

11. B. 3 kg

12. B. ratio

13. A. Proportion

14. D. 6:10

15. B. 2:3

Step-by-step explanation:

6. Mr. Bernard travels 5.12 km per hour on his bike. How far can he travel in 3.25 hours?

Speed = 5.12km/hr

Time = 3.25 hr

To find the distance;

Distance = speed * time

Distance = 5.12 * 3.25

Distance = 16.64 km

7. Mrs. Allysa purchased 48 pencils at P 4.50 each. How much did she pay for all the pencils?

Quantity = 48 pencils

Cost price = P 4.50

To find the total selling price;

Total = quantity * cost price

Total = 48 * 4.50

Total = P 216

8. The Villaroel family bought a 125.65 square meter lot at P 4500.00 per square meter. How much did they

pay?

Quantity = 125.65 m²

Cost price = P 4500

Total price = 125.65 * 4500

Total price = P 565425

9. What is 2.7/10 = 0.27

10. What is 98.75/4 = 24.6875

11. A store owner has 63 kilograms of candy. If she puts the candy into 21 jars, how much candy will each jar

contain?

Mass = 63 kg

Amount = 21 jars

Each jar = 63/21 = 3 kg

12. Ratio: It is the quantitative relation between two amounts showing the number of times one value contains or is contained within the other.

13. Proportion: It is a statement that two ratios are equal.

14. What ratio is equal to 3:5?

We would multiply both ratio by 2

3:5 * 2 = 6:10

15. What ratio is proportional to 4:6?

We would divide both ratio by 2

4:6 / 2 = 2:3

A bag contains counters that are red, black , or green . 1/3 of the counters are red 1/6 of the counters are black There are 15

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

There are 5 black counters in the bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

15 green counters in the bag

The proportion of green counters is given by:

$p = 1 - (\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{6}) = 1 - (\frac{2}{6}+\frac{1}{6}) = 1 - \frac{3}{6} = 1 - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2}$

So, we have that, the total is x. So

$\frac{x}{2} = 15$

$x = 30$

There are 30 total counters.

How many black counters are in the bag ?

A sixth of the counters are black. So

$\frac{1}{6} \times 30 = \frac{30}{6} = 5$

There are 5 black counters in the bag.
