Answer: To solve this question, you would first measure yourself and your self and your shadow, and then the shadow of the tower while the sun is in spot in the sky, you will then use the ratio (your height/your shadow) = (towers height/ towers shadow)

You will then cross multiply and divide to find the towers height

What is the y-intercept of the function,represented by the table of values below?

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So the y-intercept is not given by your table because there is no x that is listed as 0.

But don't fret; we can still find it.

Let's see if the function is linear by seeing if we have the same slope per two points in the table.

For the first pair ( the points (-2,16) and (1,4) ), x increased by 3 and the y decreased by 12 so the slope there is -12/3=-4.

Now looking at the next pair ( the points (1,4) and (2,0) ), x increased by 1 while y decreased by 4 so the slope is -4/1=-4.

So the function appears to be linear.

So the slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

We already found the slope from earlier which is m=-4.

So the equation so far is y=-4x+b.

Now to find b, the y-intercept, we need to use a point (x,y) on the line along with y=-4x+b.

Let's see my favorite on the list of points is (2,0).

y=-4x+b with (x,y)=(2,0)

0=-4(2)+b

0=-8+b

8=b

So the y-intercept is 8.

PLEASE HELP! The table shows the number of championships won by the baseball and softball leagues of three youth baseball divisi

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Question 1: $P ( B | Y ) = \frac{ P ( B and Y)}{ P (Y)} = \frac{ \frac{2}{16}}{ \frac{4}{16}} = \frac{1}{2}$

Question 2:

A. $P ( Y | B ) = \frac{ P(Y and B) }{ P(B) } = \frac{ \frac{2}{16} }{ \frac{6}{16} } = \frac{1}{3}$

B. $P( Z | B ) = \frac{ P ( Z and B)}{ P (B)}= \frac{ \frac{1}{16} }{ \frac{6}{16} } = \frac{1}{6}$

C. $P((Y or Z)|B) = \frac{ P ((Y or Z) and B)}{P(B)}= \frac{ \frac{3}{16}}{ \frac{6}{16}}= \frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional probability is defined by

$P(A|B)= \frac{P(A and B)}{P(B)}$

with P(A and B) beeing the probability of both events occurring simultaneously.

Question 1:

B: Baseball League Championships won, beeing

$P ( B ) = \frac{ 6 }{16}$

Y: Championships won by the 10 - 12 years old, beeing

$P ( Y)= \frac{ 4 }{ 16 }$

then

P( B and Y)= \frac{ 2 }{ 16 }[/tex]

By definition,

$P ( B | Y ) = \frac{ P ( B and Y)}{ P (Y)} = \frac{ \frac{2}{16} }{ \frac{4}{16} } = \frac{1}{2}$

Question 2.A:

Y: Championships won by the 10 - 12 years old, beeing

$P ( Y)= \frac{ 4 }{ 16 }$

B: Baseball League Championships won, beeing

$P ( B ) = \frac{ 6 }{16}$

then

P( B and Y)= \frac{ 2 }{ 16 }[/tex]

By definition,

$P ( Y | B ) = \frac{ P(Y and B) }{ P(B) } = \frac{ \frac{2}{16} }{ \frac{6}{16} } = \frac{1}{3}$

Question 2.B:

Z: Championships won by the 13 - 15 years old, beeing

$P ( Z)= \frac{ 1 }{ 16 }$

B: Baseball League Championships won, beeing

$P ( B ) = \frac{ 6 }{16}$

then

P( Z and B)= \frac{ 1 }{ 16 }[/tex]

By definition,

$P( Z | B ) = \frac{ P ( Z and B)}{ P (B)}= \frac{ \frac{1}{16} }{ \frac{6}{16} } = \frac{1}{6}$

Question 3.B

Y: Championships won by the 10 - 12 years old, beeing

$P ( Y)= \frac{ 4 }{ 16 }$

Z: Championships won by the 13 - 15 years old, beeing

$P ( Z)= \frac{ 1 }{ 16 }$

then

$P (Y or Z) = P(Y) + P(Z) = \frac{6}{16}$

B: Baseball League Championships won, beeing

$P ( B ) = \frac{ 6 }{16}$

$P((YorZ) and B)= \frac{3}{16}$

By definition,

$P((Y or Z)|B) = \frac{ P ((Y or Z) and B)}{P(B)}= \frac{ \frac{3}{16}}{ \frac{6}{16}}= \frac{1}{2}$

Find the leg of each isosceles right triangle when the hypotenuse is 5 square root 6

kozerog [31]

Hypotenuse = 5√6

Let the length of each leg be x, since it is Isosceles .

x² + x² = (5√6)²

2x² = (5 * 5 * √6 * √6)

2x² = 150

x² = 150/2

x² = 75

x = √75

x = √(25 * 3)

x = √25 * √3

x = 5√3
