Answer:

The answer is D. -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since AB is parallel to CD, their slopes are the same. Parallel actually means to have the same slope.

For this case we have that, by definition if two lines are parallel, then their slopes are equal, that is:

$m_ {1} = m_ {2}$

In this case we have that the slope of the line CD is:

$m_ {2} = - 5$

If CD is parallel to AB, we are asked to find the slope of AB.

So:

$m_ {1} = m_ {2} = - 5$

lina2011 [118]

These are the events in the question above:

D - has disease

H - healthy (does not have disease)

P - tests positive 

It is the probability that a person has the disease AND tests positive divided by the probability that the person tests positive.

Sick, + [.04*.91] = .0364

Sick, - [.04*.09] = .0036 

Healthy, + [.96*.04] = 0.0384

Healthy, - [.96*.96] = .9216


.0364 / (.0364 + .0.0384) = 0.487

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The number of strawberry baskets sold was 44

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of strawberry baskets sold

y ---> the number of raspberries baskets sold

we know that

In one morning, Katya sells 96 baskets for $644

$x+y=96$ ----> equation A

$4x+9y=644$ ---> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solution is the point (44.52)

see the attached figure

therefore

The number of strawberry baskets sold was 44 and the number of raspberries baskets sold was 52

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

The value of the parameter is λ is 0.03692

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided function.

$f(x) = 0.5\lambda e^{-\lambda |x|}$ for −∞ < x < ∞.

It is given that standard deviation is given as 38.3 km.

Now we need to calculate the value of parameter λ.

The general formula for the probability density function of the double exponential distribution is: $f(x)=\frac{e^{-|\frac{x-\mu}{\beta}|}}{2\beta}$

Where μ is the location parameter and β is the scale parameter.

Compare the provided equation with the above formula we get.

$\lambda=\frac{1}{\beta}$ and μ = 0.

Standard deviation = √2β

$S.D=\sqrt{2} \beta\\\beta=\frac{38.3}{\sqrt{2}}\\\beta=27.08219$

Now substitute the value of β in $\lambda=\frac{1}{\beta}$ .

$\lambda=\frac{1}{27.08219}=0.03692$

Hence, the value of the parameter is λ is 0.03692
