Hi Kay, the point-slope form of a line is given by: y - y1 = m(x - x1). Substituting the given point, (6, -8), and the slope, -2, gives: y - (-8) = -2 * (x - 6) This becomes: y + 8 = -2x + 12

Which of the following is a key property of the quadratic parent function?

Mars2501 [29]

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic parent function is y=x^2 which means the vertex is the origin because if you input 0 into the function you will get an output of zero. (0,0) is the origin which is where the graph intersect.

Suppose two different methods are available for eye surgery. The probability that the eye has not recovered in a month is 0.002

umka21 [38]

Answer:

0.4007

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the following events:

A: method A is used

B: method B is used

NR: the eye has not recovered in a month

R: the eye is recovered in a month

The probability that the eye has not recovered in a month is 0.002 if method A is used, i.e., P(NR|A) = 0.002, so P(R|A) = 0.998.

When method B is used, the probability that the eye has not recovered in a month is 0.005, i.e., P(NR|B) = 0.005, so P(R|B) = 0.995.

40% of eye surgeries are done with method A, i.e., P(A) = 0.4

60% of eye surgeries are done with method B, i.e., P(B) = 0.6

If an eye is recovered in a month after surgery is done in the hospital, what is the probability that method A was performed? We are looking for P(A|R), then, by Bayes' Formula

P(A|R) = P(R|A)P(A)/(P(R|A)P(A) + P(R|B)P(B)) = 0.998*0.4/(0.998*0.4 + 0.995*0.6) = 0.4007

There are two misshapen coins in a box; their probabilities for landing on heads when they are flipped are, respectively, .4 and

Leokris [45]

Answer:

E(X) = 6.0706

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Define notation

X = random variable who represents the number of heads in the 10 first tosses

Y = random variable who represents the number of heads in range within toss number 4 to toss number 10

And we can define the following events

a= The first coin has been selected

b= The second coin has been selected

c= represent that we have 2 Heads within the first two tosses

2) Formulas to apply

We need to find E(X|c) = ?

If we use the total law of probability we can find E(Y)

E(Y) = E(Y|a) P(a|c) + E(Y|b)P(b|c) ....(1)

Finding P(a|c) and using the Bayes rule we have:

P(a|c) = P(c|a) P(a) / P(c) ...(2)

Replacing P(c) using the total law of probability:

P(a|c) = [P(c|a) P(a)] /[P(c|a) P(a) + P(c|b) P(b)] ... (3)

We can find the probabilities required

P(a) = P(b) = 0.5

P(c|a) = (3C2) (0.4^2) (0.6) = 0.288

P(c|b) = (3C2)(0.7^2) (0.3) = 0.441

Replacing the values into P(a|c) we got

P(a|c) = (0.288 x 0.5) /(0.288x 0.5 + 0.441x0.5) = 0.144/ 0.3645 = 0.39506

Since P(a|c) + P(b|c) = 1. With this we can find P(b|c) = 1 - P(a|c) = 1-0.39506 = 0.60494

After this we can find the expected values

E(Y|a) = 7x 0.4 = 2.8

E(Y|b) = 7x 0.7 = 4.9

Finally replacing the values into equation (1) we got

E(Y|c) = 2.8x 0.39506 + 4.9x0.60494 = 4.0706

And finally :

E(X|c) = 2+ E(Y|c) = 2+ 4.0706 = 6.0706

Nicole shines a light from a window of a lighthouse on a cliff 250 feet above the water level. Nick 10 feet above the water leve

Allushta [10]

Answer:

4585.8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

If we draw the triangle, the opposite side to 3° angle would be "10" less than total height of 250 because Nick is 10 feet above water level, so that side will be:

250 - 10 = 240

The hypotenuse of the triangle is the length of line of sight. We can call this "x".

So, using trigonometric ratio of sine (opposite/hypotenuse), we can write:

$Sin(3)=\frac{240}{x}$

Now, we cross multiply and solve for x, line of sight length:

$Sin(3)=\frac{240}{x}\\x=\frac{240}{Sin(3)}\\x=4585.8$
