It is reasonable to model the number of winter storms in a season as with a poisson random variable. suppose that in a good year the average number of storms is 4, and that in a bad year the average is 5. if the probability that next year will be a good year is 0.6 and the probability that it will be bad is 0.4, find the expected value and variance in the number of storms that will occur.

let's cover over the formula of the vertex:

y = a(x – h)^2 + k

in this formula, (h,k) are the vertex, always remember that the positive or negative value of the vertex is based on the sign it has.

for example, if the vertex is -3,-6 then both the x and y value would have the positive sign attached to it and if it were a positive x and y value, then a negative sign would be attached to it.

with that being said, for our problem the x value is a positive one so we are looking for a number with a negative sign next to it, in this case the first and second choice.

however, for the first answer choice it isn't quite part of the formula so we know that the answer choice correctly displays the x value.

to confirm, we can see if the -1 fits correctly with the second answer choice, and as mentioned above a negative number will have a positive sign attached to it. so, for our problem we can see that -1 has been changed to +1, so we can confirm that the second answer choice is correct.

hence, our final answer is y=(x - 1)^2 + 1

x = 2

step-by-step explanation:

if sr parallel to ba then the sides bc and ac are in proportion, that is

$\frac{sb}{cs}$ = $\frac{ra}{cr}$ ← substitute values

$\frac{4x+1}{2x}$ = $\frac{13.5}{6}$ ( cross- multiply )

27x = 6(4x + 1)

27x = 24x + 6 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2

answer: 33 ( approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, in the linear regression formula, the slope is the a in the equation y = b + ax ( by comparing it with the general equation of line y = mx + c )

where, $a = \frac{\sum y \sum x^2 - \sum x\sum xy}{n\sum x^2 - (\sum x)^2}$

here given table is,

price ($), x : 18 23 25 29 30 33

pairs sold, y : 16 13 10 8 6 2

so, $\sum x = 158$ , $\sum y = 55$ , $\sum xy = 1315$ ,

$\sum x^2 = 4308$ and $\sum y^2 = 629$ ,

thus, slop of the given line is,

$a = \frac{55\times 4308-158\times 1315}{6\times 4308-(158)^2}$

⇒ $a = \frac{29170}{884}$

⇒ $a =32.9977375566$ ≈ 33

Thats where they was ported and the fields that noone really knew much about needed tended, so they put slaves out there do free work and huge profits and so on the north decided to hold its own and was more different way of survival did not have same climate conditions to afford protecting slaves from winter so expenses be diff from south
