Answer:

3 tents hold 2 campers

Step-by-step explanation:

The given relations can be expressed as a single equation in the number of 2-camper tents.

Let x represent the number of 2-camper tents. Then the number of 4-camper tents is 6-x, and the total number of campers in tents is ...

2x +4(6 -x) = 18

-2x +24 = 18

-2x = -6 . . . . . . subtract 24

x = 3 . . . . . . . divide by -2

Exactly 3 tents hold 2 campers.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The other 3 tents hold 4 campers.

Another way to consider this is to assume that all tents hold 2 campers, and then realize there are 18 -6×2 = 6 campers left over. If these are placed 2 per tent, then there will be 6/2 = 3 tents with 4 campers. The remaining 3 tents will have 2 campers.

The distribution of IQ scores can be modeled by a normal distribution with mean 100 and standard deviation 15.

evablogger [386]

Answer:

4.4% of the population with IQ between 120 and 125.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 100

Standard Deviation, σ = 15

We are given that the distribution of IQ scores is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

a) Let X be a person's IQ score.

Then, density functions for IQ scores is given by:

$P(x) = \displaystyle\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2\pi}}e^{-\frac{z^2}{2}}\\\\\text{where,}\\\\z = \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\P(x) = \displaystyle\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2\pi}}e^{-\frac{(x-\mu)^2}{2\sigma^2}}\\\\P(x) = \displaystyle\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2\pi}}e^{-\frac{(x-100)^2}{450}}$

b) P(population with IQ between 120 and 125.)

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

$P(120 \leq x \leq 125) = P(\displaystyle\frac{120 - 100}{15} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{125-100}{15}) = P(1.33 \leq z \leq 1.66)\\\\= P(z \leq 1.66) - P(z < 1.33)\\= 0.952 - 0.908 = 0.044 = 4.4\%$

$P(120 \leq x \leq 125) = 4.4\%$

What is 11.25 as a fraction?

s2008m [1.1K]

11.25 is 11 1/4 because if you were to do 1 divided by 4, you would find that the answer is 0.25. But if you need an improper fraction, you would get 45/4 because if you were to put 11 times 4, you would get 44, and 44+1=45. Then you put that on the numerator spot, and you will get 45/4 for improper fraction.

<h2>Writing an Equation of a Line in Slope-Intercept Form</h2><h3>Answer:</h3>

$y = [ -2 ] x + [ 1 ]\\$

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

<em>Please refer to my answer from this Question to know more about Slope-Intercept Form: <u>brainly.com/question/24599351</u></em>

We must first find the slope.

<em>Please refer to my Answer from this Questions to know more about Slopes of a Line:</em>

<em><u>brainly.com/question/24640665</u></em>
<em><u>brainly.com/question/24638053</u></em>

We can see the marked points, $(0,1)$ and $(4, -7)$ , are on the line.

Solving for the slope:

$m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1} \\ m = \frac{-7 -1}{4 -0} \\ m = \frac{-8}{4} \\ m = -2$

Now we can now solve for the $y$ -intercept.

<em>Please refer to the second paragraph of my Answer from this Question to know more about y-intercepts: <u>brainly.com/question/24606058</u></em>

We can see that the line intersected the $y$ -axis at $(0,1)$ so $b = 1$ .
