Answer:

z = 18.5

Step-by-step explanation:

2(4z − 6 − 6) = 170 − 46

2(4z - 12) = 124

8z - 24 = 124

8z = 148

z = 18.5

Find the coordinates of the missing endpoint if P is the midpoint of Line Segment NQ.

dimaraw [331]

Midpoint formula is $(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$ .

So starting with this one, we will be solving for the coordinates of the unknown endpoint separately. Starting with the x-coordinate, since we know that the midpoint x-coordinate is 5 and the x-coordinate of N is 2, our equation is set up as such: $\frac{x+2}{2}=5$ From here we can solve for the x-coordinate of Q.

Firstly, multiply both sides by 2: $x+2=10$

Next, subtract both sides by 2 and your x-coordinate is $x=8$

With finding the y-coordinate, it's a similar process as with the x-coordinate except that we are using the y-coordinates of the midpoint and endpoint N.

$\frac{y+0}{2}=2\\ y=4$

<u>Putting it together, the missing endpoint is (8,4).</u>

<em>(The process is pretty much the same with the other problems, so I'll go through them real quickly.)</em>

$\frac{x+5}{2}=6\\ x+5=12\\ x=7$

$\frac{y+4}{2}=3\\ y+4=6\\ y=2$

<u>The missing endpoint is (7,2).</u>

$\frac{x+3}{2}=-1\\ x+3=-2\\ x=-5$

$\frac{y+9}{2}=5\\ y+9=10\\y=1$

<u>The missing endpoint is (-5,1).</u>

About 16 % of the population of a large country is allergic to pollen. If two people are randomly selected, what is the probabil

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

(a) 0.0256

(b) 0.2944

Step-by-step explanation:

For solving this exercise we can apply the binomial distribution. The equation that give as the probability is:

$P(x,n,p)=(nCx)*p^{x} *(1-p)^{n-x}$

Where n is the number of identical events, p is the probability that the event has a success and x is the number of success in the n identical events.

Additionally, nCx is calculated as:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

So, in this case we have 2 identical events because we are going to select two people randomly and the probability p of success is the probability that the person is allergic to pollen and this probability is 16%.

Then, for the first case, x is 2 because their are asking for the probability that both are allergic to pollen. Replacing the values of x, n and p we get:

$P(2,2,0.16)=(2C2)*0.16^{2} *(1-0.16)^{2-2}$

P(2,2,0.16)=0.0256

For the second case, their are asking for the probability that at least one is allergic to pollen, that means that we need to sum the probability that both are allergic to pollen with the probability that just one is allergic to pollen.

Using the same equation to calculate P(1,2,0.16) we get:

$P(1,2,0.16)=(2C1)*0.16^{1} *(1-0.16)^{2-1}$

P(1,2,0.16)=0.2688

So, the probability that at least one person is allergic to pollen is 0.2944 and it is calculated as:

0.0256 + 0.2688 = 0.2944

De las siguientes relaciones entre dos variables, razona cuáles son funcionales y cuáles no: a. Edad – altura de la persona a lo

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

In this problem, we need to describe the relation between variables, if that relation is functional or not. It's important to say that we assumed that the first variable is independent, and the second is dependent.

Age - Height of the person along his life: These variable are functinal and make total sense, because through time the person grows, which means the height changes as the age increases. These variables have a proportional relationship.

Height - Age of the person: These relation is not functional, becasuse age can't be a dependent variable, beacuse the age of a person doesn't depends on his height.

Gasoline price - Day of the Month: These relation is not functional, becasue time must be the independent variable.

Day of the Month - Gasoline price: These realation make sense, beacuse the price of the gasoline can be depedent of the day of the month.

A number and its fifth part: Notice that the fifth part depends on the number, it's defined by it, so this can be a function.

A number and its square root: These two variables represent a function, where "a number" represents the domain value and "its square root" represents a range vale.
