Sample Answer: Write the equation using slope and y-intercept in slope-intercept form, y = –275x + 3500. Then, substitute the x and y values of the point into the equation, 1850 = –275(6) + 3500. Simplify to see if both sides are equivalent. Yes, the instructor is correct because both sides are equivalent.

Y = -275x + 3500
(6,1850)....x = 6 and y = 1850
now we sub
1850 = -275(6) + 3500
1850 = - 1650 + 3500
1850 = 1850 (correct)

so yes, (6,1850) is a point on the line

You sell sporting goods. Your wages depend on the value of your sales. One week you sold $3,500 in sporting goods, earning $950.

Semmy [17]

Answer:

y = 0.2x + 250

Step-by-step explanation:

let the sales be x and y be earnings

thus,

given

x₁ = $3,500 ; y₁ = $950

and,

x₂ = $2,800 ; y₂ = $810

Now,

the standard line equation is given as:

y = mx + c

here,

m is the slope

c is the constant

also,

m = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

or

m = $\frac{810-950}{\textup{2,800-3,500}}$

or

m = 0.2

substituting the value of 'm' in the equation, we get

y = 0.2x + c

now,

substituting the x₁ = $3,500 and y₁ = $950 in the above equation, we get

$950 = 0.2 × $3,500 + c

or

$950 = $700 + c

or

c = $250

hence,

The equation comes out as:

y = 0.2x + 250

Van is 75% than kieth .if van's heightt increasess by 40% while kieth's increases only by 25%, by what percent is van taller tha

Lilit [14]

I think there is a lack of information with regards to the question posted above. This may be the complete question:

Van is 75% taller than Keith. If Van's height increases by 40% while Kieth's increases only by 25%, by what percent is Van taller than Kieth now?

We put Van at 175 and Kieth at 100 since Van is 75% taller than Keith.
When Kieth's height increased at 25%, he is now 125
When Van's height increased at 40%, he is now 245

245-125=120 and

<span><span><span>120/125</span>= .96 = 96%

The answer is 96%. I hope this helps.</span></span>

Suppose that only 20% of all drivers come to a complete stop at an intersection having flashing red lights in all directions whe

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

a) 91.33% probability that at most 6 will come to a complete stop

b) 10.91% probability that exactly 6 will come to a complete stop.

c) 19.58% probability that at least 6 will come to a complete stop

d) 4 of the next 20 drivers do you expect to come to a complete stop

Step-by-step explanation:

For each driver, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they will come to a complete stop, or they will not. The probability of a driver coming to a complete stop is independent of other drivers. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

20% of all drivers come to a complete stop at an intersection having flashing red lights in all directions when no other cars are visible.

This means that $p = 0.2$

20 drivers

This means that $n = 20$

a. at most 6 will come to a complete stop?

$P(X \leq 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{20,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{20} = 0.0115$

$P(X = 1) = C_{20,1}.(0.2)^{1}.(0.8)^{19} = 0.0576$

$P(X = 2) = C_{20,2}.(0.2)^{2}.(0.8)^{18} = 0.1369$

$P(X = 3) = C_{20,3}.(0.2)^{3}.(0.8)^{17} = 0.2054$

$P(X = 4) = C_{20,4}.(0.2)^{4}.(0.8)^{16} = 0.2182$

$P(X = 5) = C_{20,5}.(0.2)^{5}.(0.8)^{15} = 0.1746$

$P(X = 6) = C_{20,6}.(0.2)^{6}.(0.8)^{14} = 0.1091$

$P(X \leq 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) = 0.0115 + 0.0576 + 0.1369 + 0.2054 + 0.2182 + 0.1746 + 0.1091 = 0.9133$

91.33% probability that at most 6 will come to a complete stop

b. Exactly 6 will come to a complete stop?

$P(X = 6) = C_{20,6}.(0.2)^{6}.(0.8)^{14} = 0.1091$

10.91% probability that exactly 6 will come to a complete stop.

c. At least 6 will come to a complete stop?

Either less than 6 will come to a complete stop, or at least 6 will. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$P(X < 6) + P(X \geq 6) = 1$

We want $P(X \geq 6)$ . So

$P(X \geq 6) = 1 - P(X < 6)$

In which

$P(X < 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.0115 + 0.0576 + 0.1369 + 0.2054 + 0.2182 + 0.1746 = 0.8042$

$P(X \geq 6) = 1 - P(X < 6) = 1 - 0.8042 = 0.1958$

19.58% probability that at least 6 will come to a complete stop

d. How many of the next 20 drivers do you expect to come to a complete stop?

The expected value of the binomial distribution is

$E(X) = np = 20*0.2 = 4$

4 of the next 20 drivers do you expect to come to a complete stop

kadeem and quinn both drive 25 miles. Kadeem drives at a constant speed of 50 miles an hour. Quinn drives at a constant speed of

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Kadeem will take 0.166 h more to complete the course.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed is the rate at which the distance changes, when the speed goes up the distance changes more quickly, therefore if the distance is the same and the speed is higher the one who will take longer is the one that has less speed. In this case the one who will take longer to drive the 25 miles is Kadeem, since he's driving at 50 mph. In order to calculate how much longer we need to calculate the time at which each of them complete the course, this is shown below:

time = distance/speed

For Kadeem:

time = 25/50 = 0.5 h

For Quinn:

time = 25/75 = 0.334 h

The difference between the is 0.5 - 0.334 = 0.166 h.

What's 362, 584 rounded to the nearest hundred thousand

hammer [34]

To round up a number, you will add one value to the digit if the lower digit number is 5 or more. If the number is lower than 5, then you don't have to add one value.

In this case, you need to round up to hundred thousand. So, you need to look at the ten thousand digit which was 6. Since it was more than 5, you can add 1 value to the ten thousand digit. Then 362,584 will become 400,000
