A geologist gathered data about the total shoreline and maximum depth of several area lakes and organized the data into this tab

le. Total Shoreline (miles) 22 17 10 23 12 35 7 Maximum Depth (feet) 101 85 59 113 64 158 33 She then used a graphing tool to display the data in a scatter plot, with x representing the total miles of shoreline and y representing the maximum depth. She also used the graphing tool to find the equation of the line of best fit: y = 4.26x + 10.908. Based on the line of best fit, what is the approximate maximum depth of a lake that has 31 miles of shoreline? A. 121 feet B. 132 feet C. 138 feet D. 143 feet

Answer: D. 143

Step-by-step explanation:

31 times 4.26 = 132.06 + 10.908 = 142.968 which simplifies to 143 because you round up.

What is the volume of this pyramid? 945 cm³ 1260 cm³ 1890 cm³ 2520 cm³ A pyramid with a right triangular base. The right triangu

notsponge [240]

Answer:

The volume of the pyramid is $1,260\ cm^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the triangular pyramid is equal to

$V=\frac{1}{3}BH$

where

B is the area of the triangular base

H is the height of the pyramid

step 1

Find the area of the base B

$B=\frac{1}{2}bh$

we have

$b=14\ cm$

$h=18\ cm$

substitute

$B=\frac{1}{2}(14)(18)=126\ cm^{2}$

step 2

Find the volume

we have

$B=126\ cm^{2}$

$H=30\ cm$

substitute

$V=\frac{1}{3}BH$

$V=\frac{1}{3}(126)(30)=1,260\ cm^{3}$

Which of the following functions shown in the table below is not an exponential function?

kramer

Answer:

B. f(x)

D. h(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential function will have a common ratio.

We check and see if the consecutive terms has a common ratio.

For f(x),

$\frac{5}{2} \ne \frac{10}{5}$

This is not an exponential sequence.

For g(x), we have:

$\frac{2}{1} = \frac{4}{2} = \frac{8}{4} = 2$

For h(x),

$\frac{1.25}{1} \ne \frac{1.5}{1.25}$

This is not an exponential sequence

For k(x),

$\frac{16}{64} = \frac{4}{16} = \frac{1}{4} = \frac{0.25}{1}$

A study is being conducted in which the health of two independent groups of ten policyholders is being monitored over a one-year

uysha [10]

Answer:

46.91% probability that at least nine participants complete the study in one of the two groups, but not in both groups

Step-by-step explanation:

We use two binomial trials 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.

Probability of at least nine participants finishing the study in a group.

0.2 probability of a students dropping out. So 1 - 0.2 = 0.8 probability of a student finishing the study. This means that $p = 0.8$ .

10 students, so $n = 10$

We have to find:

$P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)$

Then

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

$P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.8)^{9}.(0.2)^{1} = 0.2684$

$P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.8)^{10}.(0.2)^{0} = 0.1074$

$P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.2684 + 0.1074 = 0.3758$

0.3758 probability that at least nine participants complete the study in a group.

Calculate the probability that at least nine participants complete the study in one of the two groups, but not in both groups?

0.3758 probability that at least nine participants complete the study in a group. This means that $p = 0.3758$

Two groups, so $n = 2$

We have to find P(X = 1).

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

$P(X = 2) = C_{2,1}.(0.3758)^{1}.(0.6242)^{1} = 0.4691$

46.91% probability that at least nine participants complete the study in one of the two groups, but not in both groups
