Simply add -560 and -750 (remember same sides add and keep, different signs subtract) you should get -1310
To graph a situation that would involve a linear graph, first determine your x and y axes.
The x-axis will be the independent variable, one that does not change based on other variables. An example is time.
The y-axis, the dependent variable, depends on the independent variable.
The model equation for a linear line is y = mx + b.
"m" is the slope, and the "b" is the y-intercept (where the graph crosses the x-axis at x=0).
For example, a situtation could be that Joe starts with $10 in his account and adds $5 every day to his account.
The x-axis is time in days.
The y-axis is amount of money in his account.
The slope, or rate of change is 5.
The y-intercept, the amount of money he has at x=0 (0 days) is $10.
The equation would be y = 5x + 10
To draw this, plot the y-intercept at (0, 10), and the next point would be 5 units up and one unit to the right because the slope is 5, or 5/1 (remember slope is rise over run: "rise" up 5 and "over" to the right 1).
Answer:
Solve for y, graph it, and then find where the lines intersect.You can take a table and put in all the x and y values. Then graph it. And see where it intersects. Because usually, these equations are lines
-0.5p-2=p
Add 0.5 to both sides which would equal
-2=1.5p
Then divide -2 by 1.5p
P=-1.33333333
Step-by-step explanation:
Note: Question does not indicate if probability required is for weight to exceed or below 3000 lbs. So choose appropriate answer accordingly (near the end)
Using the usual notations and formulas,
mean, mu = 3550
standard deviation, sigma = 870
Observed value, X = 3000
We calculate
Z = (X-mu)/sigma = (3000-3550)/870 = -0.6321839
Probability of weight below 3000 lbs
= P(X<3000) = P(z<Z) = P(z<-0.6321839) = 0.2636334
Answer:
Probability that a car randomly selected is less than 3000
= P(X<3000) = 0.2636 (to 4 decimals)
Probability that a car randomly selected is greater than 3000
= 1 - P(X<3000) = 1 - 0.2636 (to 4 decimals) = 0.7364 (to 4 decimals)
