Answer:

m = -1/6.

b = 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope m =  (3 - 6) / (12 - -6)

=  -3 / 18

= -1/6.

y = -1/6 x + b

when x = 12 y = 3 so

3 = -1/6 * 12 + b

b =  3 + 2 = 5.

Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find our intercept b from the equation of the straight line:

y - y₁ = m (x-x₁ )

point A(-6, 6)

x₁ = -6 and y₁ =6

m= -1/6 (as stated in the question)

Inputing this values in our equation, we have;

y - 6 = -1/6 ( x - -6)

y - 6 = -1/6(x+6)

y - 6 = -1/6x -1

y = -1/6x - 1 + 6

y= -1/6x + 5

comparing y= mx+b with the equation above; b=5

Answer:

                           Drug User   Not a drug user    Totals

Test positive       475                     475                  950

Test negative      25                      9025               9050

Totals                   500                   9500               10,000

Step-by-step explanation:

                           Drug User   Not a drug user    Totals

Test positive       475                     475                  950

Test negative      25                      9025               9050

Totals                   500                   9500               10,000

As we know that 5% of all people are drug users

Total drug users=5% of 10,000=0.05(10,000)=500

Total non drug users= Total people - drug users= 10,000-500=9500

or total non drug users=95% of 10,000=0.95(10,000)=9500

Test is correct for 95% of times means that 95% times drug users test results is positive and non drug users test results is negative.

Test positive for drug user= 95% of 500=0.95(500)=475

Test negative for non drug user= 95% of 500 = 0.95(9500)=9025

Test is correct for 95% of times and it means that 5% of times test is not correct. It means that 5% of times drug users test results is negative and non drug users test results is positive.

Test negative for drug user= 5% of 500=0.05(500)=25

Test positive for non drug user= 5% of 9500 = 0.05(9500)=475

After a certain medicine is ingested, its concentration in the bloodstream changes over time.
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Every hour, the medicine concentration decays by a factor of 4%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between the elapsed time, <em>t</em>, in minutes, since the medicine was ingested, and its concentration in the bloodstream, <em>C</em> (<em>t</em>), is:

C(t)=61\cdot (0.96)^{t}

The decay function is:

y=a(1-r)^{t}

Here,

<em>y</em> = final amount

<em>a </em>= initial amount

<em>r</em> = decay rate

<em>t</em> = time

From the provided expression the decay rate is:

1-r=0.96\\r=1-0.96\\r=0.04

Thus, every hour, the medicine concentration decays by a factor of 4%.

Out of six computer chips, two are defective. If two chips are randomly chosen for testing (without replacement), compute the pr
Ratling [72]

Answer:

The probability that of the two chips selected both are defective is 0.1089.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = number of defective chips.

It is provided that there are 2 defective chips among 6 chips.

The probability of selecting a defective chip is:

P(X)=p=\frac{2}{6}=0.33

A sample of <em>n</em> = 2 chips are selected.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameter <em>n</em> = 2 and <em>p</em> = 0.33.

The probability function of a Binomial distribution is:

P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x};\ x=0, 1, 2, ...

Compute the probability that of the two chips selected both are defective as follows:

P(X=2)={2\choose 2}(0.33)^{2}(1-0.33)^{2-2}=1\times 0.1089\times 1=0.1089

Thus, the probability that of the two chips selected both are defective is 0.1089.

The sample space of selecting two chips is:

S = (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6)

     (2, 1),  (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6)

     (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6)

     (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 5), (4, 6)

     (5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 6)

     (6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5)
