You lose track of how many 2-point baskets and 3-point baskets a team makes in a basketball game. The team misses all the 1-poin

t baskets and still scores 54 points. The equation 2x+3y=54$ models the total points scored, where x is the number of 2-point baskets made and y is the number of 3-point baskets made. a. Find and interpret the intercepts.

Answer:

  • x-intercept: 27, the number of 2-pointers if no 3-pointers
  • y-intercept: 18, the number of 3-pointers if no 2-pointers

Step-by-step explanation:

Each intercept is found by setting the other variable to zero and solving for the variable value of interest.

  2x +3y = 54

<u>x-intercept:</u>

  2x = 54

  x = 27

<u>y-intercept:</u>

  3y = 54

  y = 18

__

By definition, the intercept values are the values that satisfy the equation when the other variable is zero.

x-intercept: To score 54 points, the team would have to make 27 2-point baskets if no 3-point baskets were made.

y-intercept: To score 54 points, the team would have to make 18 3-point baskets if no 2-point baskets were made.

Using probability concepts, it is found that P(S and D) = 0.1275.

-----------------------

  • A probability is the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of desired outcomes</u>.
  • In a standard deck, there are 52 cards.
  • Of those, 13 are spades, and 13 are diamond.

  • The probability of selecting a spade with the first card is 13/52. Then, there is a 13/51 probability of selecting a diamond with the second. The same is valid for diamond then space, which means that the probability is multiplied by 2. Thus, the desired probability is:

P(S \cap D) = 2 \times \frac{13}{52} \times \frac{13}{51} = \frac{2\times 13 \times 13}{52 \times 51} = 0.1275

Thus, P(S and D) = 0.1275.

A survey of
Zina [86]

Answer:

0.0208<p<0.0592

Step-by-step explanation:

-Given the sample size is 400 and the desired proportion is 16.

-The confidence interval can be determined as follows:

CI=\hat p\pm z\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p}{n}}\\\\\hat p=x/n=16/400=0.04

#We the use this proportion to find the CI at 95%:

CI=0.04\pm 1.96\times \sqrt{\frac{0.04(1-0.04)}{400}}\\\\=0.04\pm 0.0192\\\\=[0.0208,0.0592]

Hence, the 95% confidence interval is 0.0208<p<0.0592

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

978 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of the rectangle:

24in X 30in = 720 in^2

the area of the two similar triangles:

12 X 9 / 2 + 12 X 9 / 2 = 108 in^2

the area of the last triangle:

20 in X 15 in /2 = 150in^2

.

the total area is the sum of the areas:

720in^2 + 108in^2 + 150in^2 = 978in^2.

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

<em>(9,-5)</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

When you go down, the number will decrease. The vertical position is the Y axis. -3-2=5.

When you go right, the number will increase. The horizontal position is the X axis. 5+4=9

<em>(9,-5)</em>

<u>Hope this helps :-)</u>
