Question 6 of 10
2 Points
According to the National Weather Association, out of the last 100 years,
August 1st was sunny 87 times. Based on this, the probability of August 1st
being a sunny day is 87/100. What type of probability is this?
A. Random probability
B. Fractional probability
c. Theoretical probability
D. Empirical probability
SUBMIT

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Theoretical probability is calculated from observation (observing the amount of sun on August 1st over 100 years)

answer: haha (: i’ll go see what it is

step-by-step explanation:

55.44 inches

step-by-step explanation:

part a. assuming a perfectly linear relationship, we can find the slope from the first two data points.

slope = m = (change in rainfall)/(change in years)

= (61.80 -62.33)/(2005 -2004) = -0.53/1 = -0.53

then the point-slope form of the equation of the line can be written as

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . m = -0.53, (h, k) = (0, 62.33)

y = -0.53x +62.33 . . . x = years after 2004

part b. in 2017, x = 2017 -2004 = 13. then the predicted rainfall is

y = -0.53·13 +62.33 = 55.44 . . inches

the predicted rainfall in 2017 is 55.44 in.
