Answer:
Q = 2,900 units
x = $50
Step-by-step explanation:
At the equilibrium point the quantity demanded and supplied at the equilibrium price are the same. The demand and supply functions are:
[tex]D: Q=590 - 60x\\S: Q=400+50x[/tex]
When the quantity is the same, the selling price x is:
[tex]5900 - 60x=400+50x\\x=\frac{5,500}{110}\\ x=\$50[/tex]
And the equilibrium quantity is:
[tex]Q = 400+50*50\\Q=2,900\ units[/tex]
Consider a manufacturing process that is producing hypodermic needles that will be used for blood donations. These needles need to have a diameter of 1.65 mm—too big and they would hurt the donor (even more than usual), too small and they would rupture the red blood cells, rendering the donated blood useless. Thus, the manufacturing process would have to be closely monitored to detect any significant departures from the desired diameter. During every shift , quality control personnel take a random sample of several needles and measure their diameters. If they discover a problem, they will stop the manufacturing process until it is corrected. Suppose the most recent random sample of 35 needles have an average diameter of 1.64 mm and a standard deviation of 0.07 mm. Also, suppose the diameters of needles produced by this manufacturing process have a bell shaped distribution.
Describe what a Type I error would be in this study.
Answer:
[tex]\text{Average diameter is 1.65 mm and we decide that it is not 1.65 mm.}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
The needle size should not be too big and too small.
The diameter of the needle should be 1.65 mm.
We design the null and the alternate hypothesis
[tex]H_{0}: \mu = 1.65\text{ mm}\\H_A: \mu \neq 1.65\text{ mm}[/tex]
Sample size, n = 35
Sample mean, [tex]\bar{x}[/tex] = 1.64 mm
Sample standard deviation, s = 0.07 mm
Type I error:
It is the error of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true.It is also known as false positive error.It is the rejecting of a true null hypothesis.Thus, type I error in this study would mean we reject the null hypothesis that the average diameter is 1.65 mm but actually the average diameters of the needle is 1.65 mm.
Thus, average diameter is 1.65 mm and we decide that it is not 1.65 mm.
Answer:
Type I error will be Rejecting the null hypothesis that the average diameter of needles is 1.65 mm and assume that the average diameter of needles is different from 1.65 mm but the fact is that the null hypothesis was true that the average diameter of needles is 1.65 mm.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a manufacturing process is producing hypodermic needles that will be used for blood donations. These needles need to have a diameter of 1.65 mm—too big and they would hurt the donor (even more than usual), too small and they would rupture the red blood cells, rendering the donated blood useless.
So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] = 1.65 mm
Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_1[/tex] : [tex]\mu\neq[/tex] 1.65 mm
Also, the most recent random sample of 35 needles have an average diameter of 1.64 mm and a standard deviation of 0.07 mm.
Now, Type I error Type I error states that : Probability of rejecting null hypothesis given the fact that null hypothesis was true. It is the the probability of rejecting a true hypothesis.
So, in our question Type I error will be Rejecting the null hypothesis that the average diameter of needles is 1.65 mm and assume that the average diameter of needles is different from 1.65 mm but the fact is that the null hypothesis was true that the average diameter of needles is 1.65 mm.
Let X denote the amount of time a book on two-hour reserve is actually checked out, and suppose the cdf is the following.
0 , x<0
f(x) = ((x^2)/4) , 0 <= x <= 2
1 , 2<= x
Use the cdf to obtain the following. (If necessary, round your answer to four decimal places.)
(a) P(X %u2264 1)
(b) P(0.5 %u2264 X %u2264 1)
(c) P(X > 1.5)
(d) The median checkout duration [solve 0.5 = F(mew)]
(e) Use F'(x) to obtain the density function f(x)
(f) Calculate E(X)
(g) Calculate V(X) and %u03C3x
(h) If the borrower is charged an amount h(X) = X2 when checkout duration is X, compute the expected charge
E[h(X)].
This is a set of solutions for a series of problems related to a given cumulative distribution function of a random variable X. The answers provide ways to calculate various probabilities, the median, the density function, the expected value, the variance and standard deviation, and the expected charge.
Explanation:Given that the cumulative distribution function (cdf) of the random variable X, which denotes the amount of time a book on two-hour reserve is checked out, is f(x) = (x^2)/4 for 0 <= x <= 2.
(a) P(X <= 1) can be obtained by substituting x = 1 into the cdf, which yields (1^2)/4 = 0.25.
(b) P(0.5 <= X <= 1) is the probability that x is between 0.5 and 1. This can be calculated by subtracting P(X <= 0.5) from P(X <= 1), giving (1^2)/4 - (0.5^2)/4 = 0.1875.
(c) P(X > 1.5) can be obtained by subtracting P(X <= 1.5) from 1, giving 1 - (1.5^2)/4 = 0.375.
(d) For the median, we need to solve (m^2)/4 = 0.5, yielding a median of sqrt(2).
(e) The density function f(x) is the derivative of the cdf, and so we need to calculate F'(x). This gives f(x) = x/2.
(f) The expected value E(X) can be calculated as ∫xf(x)dx from 0 to 2, yielding 4/3.
(g) The variance V(X) can be calculated as ∫(x-E(x))^2*f(x)dx from 0 to 2, yielding 4/45, and the standard deviation σx is the square root of the variance, which is 2sqrt(10)/15.
(h) If the borrower is charged an amount h(X) = X^2 when the checkout duration is X, the expected charge E[h(X)] can be calculated as ∫x^2f(x) dx from 0 to 2, yielding 4/5.

A survey of magazine subscribers showed that 45.2% rented a car during the past 12 months for business reasons, 56% rented a car during the past 12 months for personal reasons, and 32% rented a car during the past 12 months for both business and personal reasons. (a) What is the probability that a subscriber rented a car during the past 12 months for business or personal reasons? (b) What is the probability that a subscriber did not rent a car during the past 12 months for either business or personal rea
Answer:
a. 0.692 or 69.2%; b. 0.308 or 30.8%.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the case of the probability of the sum of two events, which is defined by the formula:
[tex] \\ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)[/tex] (1)
Where [tex] \\ P(A \cup B)[/tex] represents the probability of the union of both events, that is, the probability of event A plus the probability of event B.
On the other hand, [tex] \\ P(A \cap B)[/tex] represents the probability that both events happen at once or the probability of event A times the probability of event B (if both events are independent).
Notice the negative symbol for the last probability. The reason behind it is that we have to subtract those common results from event A and event B to avoid count them twice when calculating [tex] \\ P(A \cup B)[/tex].
We have to remember that a sample space (sometimes denoted as S) is the set of the all possible results for a random experiment.
Calculation of the probabilitiesFrom the question, we have two events:
Event A: event subscribers rented a car during the past 12 months for business reasons.
Event B: event subscribers rented a car during the past 12 months for personal reasons.
[tex] \\ P(A) = 45.2\%\;or\;0.452[/tex]
[tex] \\ P(B) = 56\%\;or\;0.56[/tex]
[tex] \\ P(A \cap B) = 32\%\;or\;0.32[/tex]
With all this information, we can proceed as follows in the next lines.
The probability that a subscriber rented a car during the past 12 months for business or personal reasons.
We have to use here the formula (1) because of the sum of two probabilities, one for event A and the other for event B.
Then
[tex] \\ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)[/tex]
[tex] \\ P(A \cup B) = 0.452 + 0.56 - 0.32[/tex]
[tex] \\ P(A \cup B) = 0.692\;or\;69.2\%[/tex]
Thus, the probability that a subscriber rented a car during the past 12 months for business or personal reasons is 0.692 or 69.2%.
The probability that a subscriber did not rent a car during the past 12 months for either business or personal reasons.
As we can notice, this is the probability for the complement event that a subscriber did not rent a car during the past 12 months, that is, the probability of the events that remain in the sample space. In this way, the sum of the probability for the event that a subscriber rented a car plus the event that a subscriber did not rent a car equals 1, or mathematically:
[tex] \\ P(\overline{A \cup B}) + P(A \cup B)= 1[/tex]
[tex] \\ P(\overline{A \cup B}) = 1 - P(A \cup B)[/tex]
[tex] \\ P(\overline{A \cup B}) = 1 - 0.692[/tex]
[tex] \\ P(\overline{A \cup B}) = 0.308\;or\;30.8\%[/tex]
As a result, the requested probability for a subscriber that did not rent a car during the past 12 months for either business or personal reasons is 0.308 or 30.8%.
We can also find the same result if we determine the complement for each probability in formula (1), or:
[tex] \\ P(\overline{A}) = 1 - P(A) = 1 - 0.452 = 0.548[/tex]
[tex] \\ P(\overline{B}) = 1 - P(B) = 1 - 0.56 = 0.44[/tex]
[tex] \\ P(\overline{A \cup B}) = 1 - P(A \cup B) = 1 - 0.32 = 0.68[/tex]
Then
[tex] \\ P(\overline{A \cup B}) = P(\overline{A}) + P(\overline{B}) - P(\overline{A\cap B})[/tex]
[tex] \\ P(\overline{A \cup B}) = 0.548 + 0.44 - 0.68[/tex]
[tex] \\ P(\overline{A \cup B}) = 0.308[/tex]
Final answer:
The probability of a magazine subscriber renting a car in the past 12 months for business or personal reasons is 69.2%, and the probability of not renting for either reason is 30.8%.
Explanation:
To solve the question: What is the probability that a subscriber rented a car during the past 12 months for business or personal reasons? and What is the probability that a subscriber did not rent a car during the past 12 months for either business or personal reasons?, we can use the principle of inclusion-exclusion in probability.
(a) The probability of renting a car for either reason can be calculated by adding the probabilities of renting for each reason and then subtracting the probability of renting for both reasons (to avoid double counting). Hence, the formula is: P(Business or Personal) = P(Business) + P(Personal) - P(Both).
Substituting the given values: P(Business or Personal) = 45.2% + 56% - 32% = 69.2%.
(b) The probability that a subscriber did not rent a car for either business or personal reasons is the complement of the probability calculated in part (a). Hence, it is calculated as 100% - 69.2% = 30.8%.
If sin θ=− 8/17 and 270°<θ<360°, what is cos θ?
Final answer:
To determine cos θ when sin θ is -8/17 and θ is in the fourth quadrant, use the Pythagorean identity; the result is cos θ = 15/17.
Explanation:
Given the information that sin θ is -8/17 and the angle θ is between 270° and 360°, we need to determine the cos θ. In the given range, θ lies in the fourth quadrant where sine is negative and cosine is positive.
Using the Pythagorean identity sin2 θ + cos2 θ = 1, we can find cos θ. Since sin θ = -8/17, we have:
sin2 θ = (-8/17)2 = 64/289
cos2 θ = 1 - sin2 θ = 1 - 64/289 = 225/289
cos θ = √(225/289)
cos θ = 15/17 (since cosine is positive in the fourth quadrant)
Therefore, cos θ = 15/17.

(b) How much of the sample remains after 20 years? Step 1 After 20 years we have the following (20) 30 mg (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
(a)y(t)=30exp(-0.0231t)
(b)y(20)=18.9mg
Step-by-step explanation:
At a particular time t, the mass of a radioactive substance like Cesium-137 is governed by the equation:
N=N₀e⁻ᵏᵗ where k=ln 2/half life
(a)Mass that remains after t years
Half Life= 30 years
k= ln2/30=0.0231
Initial Mass, N₀=30mg
Therefore the mass N that remains at time t
N=N₀e⁻ᵏᵗ
N=30exp(-0.0231t)
y(t)=30exp(-0.0231t)
(b)We want to determine how much of the sample remains after 20 years.
At t=20 years
y(t)=30exp(-0.0231t)
y(20)=30exp(-0.0231X20)
=30 X 0.63
y(20)=18.9mg
Final answer:
23.81 mg of the original 30 mg sample remaining, rounded to two decimal places.
Explanation:
The half-life of a radioactive isotope like cesium-137 is time it takes for half of the original amount of the substance to decay. For cesium-137, this period is 30 years. To find out how much of a sample remains after a specific amount of time, such as 20 years in the given question, we use the decay formula.
Step 1: Let y(t) be the mass remaining after t years.
Step 2: The decay formula is y(t) = y(0) · (1/2)^(t/half-life), where y(0) is the initial mass and t is the time in years.
For cesium-137 after 20 years: y(20) = 30 mg · (1/2)^(20/30).
Calculating the remaining mass: y(20) = 30 mg · (1/2)^(2/3) ≈ 30 mg · 0.7937 ≈ 23.81 mg.
Consider the following experiment. Pick a random integer from 1 to 1012 . (a) What is the probability that it is either a perfect square (1, 4, 9, 16, …) or a perfect cube (1, 8, 27, 64,…)? (b) What is the probability that it is either a perfect fourth power (1, 16, 81, 256, …) or a perfect sixth power (1, 64, 729, 4096,…)?
Answer:
a.) 0.0402
b.) 0.00789
Step-by-step explanation:
In between the numbers 1 and 1012,
The number of perfect squares we have is 31, that is all numbers between 1 and 31 inclusive have their squares between the numbers 1 and 1012
The number of perfect cubes we have is 10, that is all numbers between 1 and 10 Inclusive have their perfect cube between the numbers 1 and 1012.
The number of perfect Fourth we have is 5, that is all numbers between 1 and 5 inclusive have their perfect fourth between the numbers 1 and 1012.
The number of perfect Sixth we have is 3, that is all numbers between 1 and 3 inclusive have their perfect sixth between the numbers 1 and 1012.
Hence,
a.) probability of choosing a perfect square = 31/1012
Probability of choosing a perfect cube = 10/1012
Probability of choosing a perfect square or a perfect cube = (31/1012) + (10/1012) - [(31/1012)*(10/1012)]
=41/1012 - 310/1024144
=0.0405 - 0.0003
=0.0402.
b.) Probability of choosing a perfect fourth or a perfect Sixth = (5/1012) + (3/1012) - [(5/1012)*(3/1012)]
= 8/1012 - 15/1024144
= 0.00789.
For each call to the following method, indicate what console output is produced:public void mysteryXY(int x, int y) { if (y == 1) { System.out.print(x); } else { System.out.print(x * y + ", "); mysteryXY(x, y - 1); System.out.print(", " + x * y); }} mysteryXY(4, 1); mysteryXY(4, 2); mysteryXY(8, 2); mysteryXY(4, 3); mysteryXY(3, 4);
The mysteryXY method on Java demonstrates recursion, and calls to this method generate a sequence of multiplications based on the values of x and y, with the results printed in a particular format.
Explanation:The console output for each call to the mysteryXY method can be determined by following the recursion and evaluating the output statements. The method prints a series of multiplications, interspersed with commas, by recursively calling itself with a decremented y until y reaches 1.
Calling mysteryXY(4, 1) will output 4 since y is 1.Calling mysteryXY(4, 2) will output 8, 4, 4 because it prints 4 × 2, then calls itself with y-1 (which is 1, printing 4), and then prints 4 × 2 again after the recursive call.Calling mysteryXY(8, 2) will output 16, 8, 8 for the same reasons as the previous call but with x equal to 8.Calling mysteryXY(4, 3) will output 12, 8, 4, 4, 8, 12 which includes two recursive calls, printing 4 × 3, 4 × 2, then 4 × 1, and then 4 × 2 and 4 × 3 after the reversals of the calls.Finally, calling mysteryXY(3, 4) will output 12, 9, 6, 3, 3, 6, 9, 12 with three recursive calls and their reversals.Engineers must consider the breadths of male heads when designing helmets. The company researchers have determined that the population of potential clientele have head breadths that are normally distributed with a mean of 6.1-in and a standard deviation of 1-in. Due to financial constraints, the helmets will be designed to fit all men except those with head breadths that are in the smallest 2.3% or largest 2.3%.
What is the minimum head breadth that will fit the clientele?
min =
What is the maximum head breadth that will fit the clientele?
max =
Enter your answer as a number accurate to 1 decimal place. Answers obtained using exact z-scores or z-scores rounded to 3 decimal places are accepted.
Answer:
a) The minimum head breadth that will fit the clientele = 4.105 inches to 3d.p = 4.1 inches to 1 d.p
b) The maximum head breadth that will fit the clientele = 8.905 inches to 3 d.p = 8.9 inches to 1 d.p
Step-by-step explanation:
This is normal distribution problem.
A normal distribution has all the data points symmetrically distributed around the mean in a bell shape.
For this question, mean = xbar = 6.1 inches
Standard deviation = σ = 1 inch
And we want to find the lowermost 2.3% and uppermost 2.3% of the data distribution.
The minimum head breadth that will fit the clientele has a z-score with probability of 2.3% = 0.023
Let that z-score be z'
That is, P(z ≤ z') = 0.023
Using the table to obtain the value of z'
z' = - 1.995
P(z ≤ - 1.995) = 0.023
But z-score is for any value, x, is that value minus the mean then divided by the standard deviation.
z' = (x - xbar)/σ
- 1.995 = (x - 6.1)/1
x = -1.995 + 6.1 = 4.105 inches
The maximum head breadth that will fit the clientele has a z-score with probability of 2.3% also = 0.023
Let that z-score be z''
That is, P(z ≥ z'') = 0.023
Using the table to obtain the value of z''
P(z ≥ z") = P(z ≤ -z")
- z'' = - 1.995
z" = 1.995
P(z ≥ 1.995) = 0.023
But z-score is for any value, x, is that value minus the mean then divided by the standard deviation.
z'' = (x - xbar)/σ
1.995 = (x - 6.1)/1
x = 1.995 + 6.1 = 8.905 inches
Using z-scores for the smallest and largest 2.3% of the normal distribution, and a formula that accounts for the mean and standard deviation of head breadths, we can calculate that the helmets need to accommodate head breadths between 4.1 inches (minimum) and 8.1 inches (maximum).
Explanation:To determine the minimum and maximum head breadths that will fit the clientele, we need to find the z-scores that correspond to the smallest 2.3% and the largest 2.3% of the normal distribution. Then we can use these z-scores to calculate the specific head breadths.
First, we find the z-scores using a standard z-table or a calculator since the normal distribution table typically provides the area to the left of a z-score. For the smallest 2.3%, we need the z-score that has 0.023 to its left. This value is approximately z = -2. Conversely, for the largest 2.3%, since the normal distribution is symmetric, the z-score will have the same absolute value but be positive, which would be z = 2. However, to be precise, one should use statistical tables or software to find the exact z-scores close to these values.
To convert the z-scores to specific head breadths, we use the formula:
X = μ + (z * σ)
where X is the head breadth, μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation.
The minimum head breadth (Xmin) is calculated as follows:
Xmin = 6.1 + (-2 * 1) = 6.1 - 2 = 4.1 inchesThe maximum head breadth (Xmax) is calculated as follows:
Xmax = 6.1 + (2 * 1) = 6.1 + 2 = 8.1 inchesTherefore, the minimum head breadth that will fit the clientele is 4.1 inches, and the maximum head breadth is 8.1 inches.

And we want to find this probability:
[tex] P(X=3)[/tex]
And using the probability mass function we got:

Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
A Bernoulli trial is "a random experiment with exactly two possible outcomes, "success" and "failure", in which the probability of success is the same every time the experiment is conducted". And this experiment is a particular case of the binomial experiment.
The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".
The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:
[tex]P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:
[tex]nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}[/tex]

The annual per capita consumption of bottled water was 34.5 gallons. Assume that the per capita consumption of bottled water is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 34.5 and a standard deviation of 11 gallons. a. What is the probability that someone consumed more than 35 gallons of bottled water? b. What is the probability that someone consumed between 25 and 35 gallons of bottled water? c. What is the probability that someone consumed less than 25 gallons of bottled water? d. 97.5% of people consumed less than how many gallons of bottled water?
Answer:
(a) 0.48006
(b) 0.3251
(c) 0.19489
(d) 97.5% of people consumed less than 56 gallons of bottled water.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that the per capita consumption of bottled water is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 34.5 and a standard deviation of 11 gallons.
Let X = per capita consumption of bottled water
So, X ~ N([tex]\mu = 34.5,\sigma^{2} =11^{2}[/tex])
The z score probability distribution is given by;
Z = [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] ~ N(0,1)
(a) Probability that someone consumed more than 35 gallons of bottled water = P(X > 35)
P(X > 35) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] > [tex]\frac{35-34.5}{11}[/tex] ) = P(Z > 0.05) = 1 - P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 0.05)
= 1 - 0.51994 = 0.48006
(b) Probability that someone consumed between 25 and 35 gallons of bottled water = P(25 < X < 35)
P(25 < X < 35) = P(X < 35) - P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 25)
P(X < 35) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] < [tex]\frac{35-34.5}{11}[/tex] ) = P(Z < 0.05) = 0.51994
P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 25) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] [tex]\frac{25-34.5}{11}[/tex] ) = P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] -0.86) = 1 - P(Z < 0.86)
= 1 - 0.80511 = 0.19489
Therefore, P(25 < X < 35) = 0.51994 - 0.19489 = 0.3251
(c) Probability that someone consumed less than 25 gallons of bottled water = P(X < 25)
P(X < 25) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] < [tex]\frac{25-34.5}{11}[/tex] ) = P(Z < -0.86) = 1 - P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 0.86)
= 1 - 0.80511 = 0.19489
(d) We have to find that 97.5% of people consumed less than how many gallons of bottled water, which means ;
P(X < x) = 0.975
P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] > [tex]\frac{x-34.5}{11}[/tex] ) = 0.975
P(Z > [tex]\frac{x-34.5}{11}[/tex] ) = 0.975
Now in the z table the critical value of X which have an area less than 0.975 is 1.96, i.e.;
[tex]\frac{x-34.5}{11}[/tex] = 1.96
[tex]x[/tex] - 34.5 = [tex]1.96 \times 11[/tex]
[tex]x[/tex] = 34.5 + 21.56 = 56.06 ≈ 56 gallons of bottled water
So, 97.5% of people consumed less than 56 gallons of bottled water.
a. The probability that someone consumed more than 35 gallons of bottled water is approximately 52.12%. b. The probability that someone consumed between 25 and 35 gallons of bottled water is approximately 9.58%. c. The probability that someone consumed less than 25 gallons of bottled water is approximately 42.51%. d. 97.5% of people consumed less than approximately 57.56 gallons of bottled water.
Explanation:a. To find the probability that someone consumed more than 35 gallons of bottled water, we need to standardize the value of 35 using the formula z = (x - mean) / standard deviation, where x is the value we want to find the probability for. In this case, x = 35. Plugging in the values, we get z = (35 - 34.5) / 11 = 0.045. Using a standard normal distribution table, the probability (area under the curve) to the right of 0.045 is approximately 0.5212. Therefore, the probability that someone consumed more than 35 gallons of bottled water is 0.5212 or 52.12%.
b. To find the probability that someone consumed between 25 and 35 gallons of bottled water, we need to find the probability to the right of 25 (P(x > 25)) and subtract the probability to the right of 35 (P(x > 35)). Following the same process as in part (a), we find that P(x > 25) ≈ 0.5746 and P(x > 35) ≈ 0.4788. Therefore, the probability that someone consumed between 25 and 35 gallons of bottled water is approximately 0.5746 - 0.4788 = 0.0958 or 9.58%.
c. To find the probability that someone consumed less than 25 gallons of bottled water, we need to find the probability to the left of 25 (P(x < 25)). Using the standard normal distribution table, we find that P(x < 25) ≈ 0.4251. Therefore, the probability that someone consumed less than 25 gallons of bottled water is approximately 0.4251 or 42.51%.
d. To find the value at which 97.5% of people consumed less than, we need to find the z-score that corresponds to the 97.5th percentile of the standard normal distribution. Using the standard normal distribution table, we find that the z-score corresponding to the 97.5th percentile is approximately 1.96. Now we can use the formula z = (x - mean) / standard deviation to solve for x. Plugging in the values, we get 1.96 = (x - 34.5) / 11. Solving for x, we find x ≈ 1.96 * 11 + 34.5 ≈ 57.56. Therefore, 97.5% of people consumed less than approximately 57.56 gallons of bottled water.

Every month, there are 1000 independent TIE ghter ights, and each TIE ghter ight crashes with a probability of 0.0035. (a) What is the probability that at least 2 crashes occur in the next month
Answer:
86.46% probability that at least 2 crashes occur in the next month.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each TIE ghter ights, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it crashes, or it does not. The probability of a TIE ghter ights crashing is independent from other TIE ghter ights. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
Every month, there are 1000 independent TIE ghter ights, and each TIE ghter ight crashes with a probability of 0.0035.
This means that [tex]n = 1000, p = 0.0035[/tex]
(a) What is the probability that at least 2 crashes occur in the next month?
Either less than 2 crashes occur, or at least 2 do. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So
[tex]P(X < 2) + P(X \geq 2) = 1[/tex]
We want [tex]P(X \geq 2)[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)[/tex]
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{1000,0}.(0.0035)^{0}.(0.9965)^{1000} = 0.0300[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{1000,1}.(0.0035)^{1}.(0.9965)^{999} = 0.1054[/tex]
[tex]P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.0300 + 0.1054 = 0.1354[/tex]
[tex]P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.1354 = 0.8646[/tex]
86.46% probability that at least 2 crashes occur in the next month.
Express the function y(t)= 4 sin 2πt + 15 cos 2πt in terms of (a) a sine term only. (b) Determine the amplitude, the period, the frequency in hertz of the function. (c) Draw the function in time domain.
(a) Rewrite y(t) = 4sin(2πt) + 15cos(2πt) using a sine term only: y(t) = √241sin(2πt - 1.249)
(b) Amplitude: √241, Period: 0.5s, Frequency: 2Hz.
(c) Graph shows two sine waves, one with amplitude √241 and another with 15, out of phase, repeating every 0.5s.
(a) Expressing the function in terms of a sine term only:
To express the function y(t) = 4sin(2πt) + 15cos(2πt) in terms of a sine term only, we can use trigonometric identities to rewrite the cosine term in terms of sine:
cos(2πt) = sin(π/2 - 2πt)
Now, we can rewrite the function as follows:
y(t) = 4sin(2πt) + 15sin(π/2 - 2πt)
(b) Determining the amplitude, period, and frequency:
Amplitude (A): The amplitude of a sinusoidal function is the coefficient of the sine term. In this case, the amplitude is 4.
Period (T): The period of a sinusoidal function is the time it takes for one complete cycle. The period can be found using the formula T = 1/f, where f is the frequency. In this case, the frequency is 2, as we'll see in part (b). So, T = 1/2 = 0.5 seconds.
Frequency (f): The frequency of a sinusoidal function is the number of cycles per second (in hertz, Hz). In this case, the frequency is 2 Hz.
(c) Drawing the function in the time domain:
To draw the function y(t) = 4sin(2πt) + 15sin(π/2 - 2πt), you can follow these steps:
1. Create a set of axes with time (t) on the horizontal axis and y(t) on the vertical axis.
2. The amplitude of the first sine term is 4, so the first term oscillates between -4 and 4.
3. The second sine term has an amplitude of 15, but it is shifted in phase by π/2. This means it starts at its maximum value of 15 and goes down to -15.
4. The total function y(t) is the sum of these two sine terms. You'll see a combination of two sinusoidal waves, one with a smaller amplitude (4) and one with a larger amplitude (15), and they are out of phase with each other.
The period of the function is 0.5 seconds (as calculated in part (b)), so you'll see this pattern repeat every 0.5 seconds.

Answer:
32 variations
Step-by-step explanation:
Anna can choose any number from 0 to 5 different toppings, which is the sum of the combinations of 0 out of 5, 1 out of 5, 2 out of 5, 3 out of 5, 4 out of 5 and 5, out of 5. The number of different variations is:

There are 32 different variations of yogurt and toppings.
The question involves combinatorics, a branch of Mathematics. For each topping, Anna can decide to either have it or not, generating 2^5 possible combinations. Subtracting the option with no toppings, there are 31 different yogurt and toppings combinations.
Explanation:When Anna goes to the frozen yogurt shop, she has five options for toppings: peanuts, caramel sauce, butterscotch chips, strawberries, and cookie dough bits. In this scenario, she could have her yogurt with any possible combination of these five toppings. We're entering the domain of combinatorics, a branch of Mathematics. For each topping, Anna can decide to either have it or not. Therefore, the problem is essentially a set of five binary decisions, which means there are 2^5 possible outcomes.

If cos B = 3/5 , then what is the positive value of cos 1/2 B , in simplest radical form with a rational denominator?
To find cos(1/2 B) given cos B = 3/5, we can use the double angle identity for cosine. The positive value of cos(1/2 B) in simplest radical form with a rational denominator is (2√5) / 5.
Explanation:If cos B = 3/5, we are looking to find cos(1/2 B) in simplest radical form. To find this, we can use the double angle identity for cosine, which tells us that cos(2θ) = 2cos^2(θ) - 1. If we let θ = 1/2 B, then B = 2θ and the identity becomes cos(B) = 2cos^2(1/2 B) - 1. We can solve for cos(1/2 B) by rearranging into 2cos^2(1/2 B) = cos(B) + 1. Substituting the known value of cos(B) gives us:
2cos^2(1/2 B) = 3/5 + 1 = 8/5
So,
cos^2(1/2 B) = 8/10
cos^2(1/2 B) = 4/5
Taking the positive square root, since cosine is positive in the question:
cos(1/2 B) = √(4/5)
cos(1/2 B) = √4 / √5
cos(1/2 B) = 2 / √sqrt(5)
To rationalize the denominator, we multiply the numerator and denominator by √5:
cos(1/2 B) = (2√5) / 5
Therefore, the positive value of cos(1/2 B), in simplest radical form with a rational denominator, is (2√5) / 5.
The positive value of [tex]$\cos \frac{1}{2}B$[/tex] in simplest radical form with a rational denominator is [tex]$\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}$[/tex].
To find the value of [tex]$\cos \frac{1}{2}[/tex][tex]B$ given $\cos B[/tex][tex]= \frac{3}{5}$[/tex], we can use the half-angle formula for cosine:
[tex]\[ \cos \frac{1}{2}B = \pm\sqrt{\frac{1 + \cos B}{2}} \][/tex]
Since we are looking for the positive value, we will use the positive square root. Plugging in the given value of [tex]$\cos B$[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \cos \frac{1}{2}B = \sqrt{\frac{1 + \frac{3}{5}}{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{\frac{5}{5} + \frac{3}{5}}{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{\frac{8}{5}}{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{8}{5} \cdot \frac{1}{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{8}{10}} = \sqrt{\frac{4}{5}} \][/tex]
Now, we can simplify the square root of a fraction by taking the square root of the numerator and the denominator separately:
[tex]\[ \cos \frac{1}{2}B = \frac{\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{5}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}} \][/tex]
This is the simplest radical form with a rational denominator. Note that we do not need to rationalize the denominator since the question only asks for a rational denominator, not necessarily an integer denominator. The answer[tex]$\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}$[/tex] is already in the required form."

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".
Solution to the problem
Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:
[tex]X \sim Binom(n=9, p=0.47)[/tex]
The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:
[tex]P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:
[tex]nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}[/tex]
Assuming the following questions:
a. exactly five
For this case we can use the probability mass function and we got:
[tex]P(X=5)=(9C5)(0.47)^5 (1-0.47)^{9-5}=0.228[/tex]
b. at least one
For this case we want this probability:
[tex] P(X \geq 1)[/tex]
And we can use the complement rule and we got:
[tex]P(X \geq 1)= 1-P(X<1) = 1-P(X=0)[/tex]
[tex]P(X=0)=(9C0)(0.47)^0 (1-0.47)^{9-0}=0.0033[/tex]
And replacing we got:
[tex]P(X \geq 1)= 1-P(X<1) = 1-P(X=0)=1-0.0033= 0.9967[/tex]
c. between four and six, inclusive.
For this case we want this probability:
[tex] P(4 \leq X \leq 6)[/tex]
[tex]P(X=4)=(9C4)(0.47)^4 (1-0.47)^{9-4}=0.257[/tex]
[tex]P(X=5)=(9C5)(0.47)^5 (1-0.47)^{9-5}=0.228[/tex]
[tex]P(X=6)=(9C6)(0.47)^6 (1-0.47)^{9-6}=0.135[/tex]

[tex] P(4 \leq X \leq 6)= 0.257+0.228+0.135=0.620 [/tex]
It seems like your question was cut off at the end. You did not specify the exact number of adults out of the 9 randomly selected ones that have experienced a breakup. However, I can help you understand how to approach this kind of problem generally using the binomial probability formula.
When we randomly select adults and we are interested in those who have experienced a breakup, with a probability of 47% (or 0.47), this can be modeled as a binomial distribution because:
1. There are a fixed number of trials (n = 9).
2. Each trial has only two possible outcomes (experienced a breakup or did not experience a breakup).
3. The probability of experiencing a breakup is the same for each trial (p = 0.47).
4. Each trial is independent of the others.
The probability of exactly x adults (out of 9) having experienced a breakup can be calculated using the binomial probability formula:
P(X = x) = (n choose x) * p^x * (1 - p)^(n - x)
Where:
- "n choose x" is the binomial coefficient C(n, x) = n! / [x!(n - x)!],
- p is the probability of success on any given trial (in this case, 0.47),
- x is the number of successes out of n trials,
- n! denotes the factorial of n,
- x! denotes the factorial of x.
Because you didn't specify the value of x in your question, I can't give you the exact probability. However, if you give me a specific number of adults who have experienced a breakup (x), I can provide the calculation for that scenario.
For now, if you'd like to calculate this probability for a certain number of adults x, you would plug your values for x and n into the formula and calculate accordingly.
Let's say you wanted to find the probability that exactly 4 out of 9 adults have experienced a breakup, for example. You would calculate it as follows:
P(X = 4) = C(9, 4) * (0.47)^4 * (0.53)^(9 - 4)
= 126 * (0.47)^4 * (0.53)^5
C(9, 4) is the number of combinations of 9 things taken 4 at a time, which is 9! / (4!(9 - 4)!) = 126.
You would then calculate (0.47)^4, (0.53)^5, and multiply these by 126 to get the probability.
For other values of x, you would undergo a similar process, using the appropriate value of x in the formula.
Suppose you like to keep a jar of change on your desk. Currently, the jar contains the following: 5 Pennies 26 Dimes 18 Nickels 12 Quarters What is the probability that you reach into the jar and randomly grab a quarter and then, without replacement, a penny? Express your answer as a fraction or a decimal number rounded to four decimal places.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
number of pennies = 5
number of dimes = 26
number of nickels = 18
number of quarters = 12
Total = 5 + 26 + 18 + 12 = 61
Probability to take out a quarter = 12 / 61 = 0.1967
Probability to take out a penny without replacement = 5 / 60 = 0.0833
Total probability to take out a quarter and then penny without replacement
= 0.1967 x 0.0833 = 0.0164
The probability of pulling out a quarter and then a penny from the jar without replacement is 0.0131, calculated by multiplying the individual probabilities of each event.
To calculate the probability of pulling out a quarter and then a penny from the jar without replacement, we need to consider the total number of coins and the number of each kind of coin. Initially, the jar contains 5 pennies, 26 dimes, 18 nickels, and 12 quarters, for a total of 61 coins.
First, let's find the probability of picking a quarter. There are 12 quarters out of 61 coins, so the probability is 12/61. After picking a quarter, we do not replace it; thus, there are now 60 coins left in the jar, including only 4 pennies. Now, the probability of picking a penny is 4/60 or 1/15.
We find the combined probability of these two events occurring in sequence by multiplying their probabilities: (12/61) * (1/15).
Probability of picking a quarter then a penny without replacement = (12/61) * (1/15)
= 12/(61 * 15)
= 12/915
= 0.0131 (when rounded to four decimal places)
The average age of CEOs is 56 years. Assume the variable is normally distributed. If the SD is four years, find the probability that the age of randomly selected CEO will be between 50 and 55 years old.
Answer: the probability that the age of randomly selected CEO will be between 50 and 55 years old is 0.334
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that the age of randomly selected CEOs is normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as
z = (x - µ)/σ
Where
x = age of randomly selected CEOs.
µ = mean age
σ = standard deviation
From the information given,
µ = 56 years
σ = 4 years
We want to find the probability that the age of randomly selected CEO will be between 50 and 55 years old. It is expressed as
P(50 ≤ x ≤ 55)
For x = 50,
z = (50 - 56)/4 = - 1.5
Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.067
For x = 55,
z = (55 - 56)/4 = - 0.25
Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.401
Therefore,
P(50 ≤ x ≤ 55) = 0.401 - 0.067 = 0.334
A piano is hauled into space a distance 3 earth radii above the surface of the north pole and is then dropped. About how long will it take to splash down in the arctic ocean
Answer:
The answer to the question is
It would take about 167.021 s to splash down in the arctic ocean.
Step-by-step explanation:
The gravitational force is given by
[tex]F_G = \frac{G*m_1*m_2}{r^2}[/tex]
Where m₁ mass of the piano and
m₂ = mass of the Earth
r = 3·R where R = radius of the earth
as stated in the question we have varying acceleration due to the inverse square law
Therefore at 3 × Radius of the earth we have
[tex]F_G[/tex] = 109.083 N and the acceleration =1.09083 m/s²
If the body falls from 3·R to 2·R with that acceleration we have
S = u·t +0.5×a·t² = 0.5×a·t² as u = 0
That is 6371 km = 0.5·1.09083·t²
t₁ = 108.079 s and we have
v₁² = u₁² +2·a₁·s₁ = 2·a₁·s₁ = 117.895 m/s
For the next stage r₂ = 2R
Therefore F = 245.436 N and a₂ = F/m₁ = 2.45436 m/s²
Therefore the time from 2R to R is given by
S₂ =R=u·t+0.5·a₂·t² = v₁·t + 0.5·a₂·t²
or 6371 km = 117.895 m/s × t + 0.5 × 2.45436 × t²
Which gives 1.22718 × t² + 117.895 × t -6371 = 0
Factorizing we have (t+134.631)(t-38.56)×1.22718 = 0
Therefore t = -134.631 s or 38.56 s as we only deal with positive values of time in the present question we have t₂ = 38.56 s and
v₂² = v₁² + 2·a₂·S = (117.895 m/s)² + 2·2.45436 m/s²×6371 km = 45172.686
v₂ = 212.54 m/s
For final stage we have r = R and
[tex]F_{G3}[/tex] = 981.746 N and a₂ = F/m₁ = 9.81746 m/s²
Therefore the time from R to the arctic ocean is given by
S₃ =R=v₂·t+0.5·a₂·t² = 212.54·t + 0.5·9.81746·t² = 6371
Which gives
Therefore t₃ = 20.382 s
Therefore, it will take about t₁ + t₂ + t₃ = 108.079 s + 38.56 s + 20.382 s = 167.021 s to splash down in the ocean
Use the formula t = sqrt((2 * d) / g), where d = 4R and g = G * (mass of earth) / (distance from center)^2 to calculate the time taken for the piano to hit the ocean from a height 3R above the Earth's surface.
Explanation:This physics question deals with the concept of
gravity
and the formation of a free fall situation in a vacuum situation where no other forces (apart from gravitation) are considered. In this case, the value of gravity will not be 9.8 m/s^2, as we are not at the surface but at a distance 3 times the radius of Earth. To find how long the piano takes to hit the ocean, we need to use the following formula for the time taken (t) for an object to fall a certain distance under gravity: t = sqrt((2 * d) / g). Here, d is the total distance that the piano would fall, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. We would first need to calculate the distance the piano falls, which will be the sum of the Earth’s radius (R) and the height the piano is dropped from (3R). This equals 4R. Then, calculate the value of gravity at that point, using formula G * (mass of Earth)/(distance from point to center of earth)^2, and then substitute these values back into the equation.
Note
: This is a idealized scenario and other factors like air resistance, influence from moon and sun, and the non-uniform distribution of Earth’s mass etc., are not considered.

The value of a house is increasing by 1900 per year. If it is worth 180,000 today, what will it be worth in five years?
Answer: the population in 5 years is
187600
Step-by-step explanation:
The value of a house is increasing by 1900 per year. This means that it is increasing in an arithmetic progression. The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as
Tn = a + d(n - 1)
Where
a represents the first term of the sequence.
d represents the common difference.
n represents the number of terms in the sequence.
From the information given,
a = 180000
d = 1900
n = 5
We want to determine the value of the 5th term, T5. Therefore,
T5 = 180000 + 1900(5 - 1)
T5 = 180000 + 7600
T5 = 187600
verify that the given point is on the curve and find the lines that are (a) tangent and (b) normal to the curve at the given point.
I. x2 + xy - y2 = 1, (2,3) (10)
II x2 + y2 = 25, (3,-4)
III. x3y2 = 9, (-1,3)
IV. y2 – 2x – 4y - 1 = 0, (-2, 1)
For each curve, plug in the given point [tex](x,y)[/tex] and check if the equality holds. For example:
(I) (2, 3) does lie on [tex]x^2+xy-y^2=1[/tex] since 2^2 + 2*3 - 3^2 = 4 + 6 - 9 = 1.
For part (a), compute the derivative [tex]\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}[/tex], and evaluate it for the given point [tex](x,y)[/tex]. This is the slope of the tangent line at the point. For example:
(I) The derivative is
[tex]x^2+xy-y^2=1\overset{\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}}{\implies}2x+x\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}+y-2y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=0\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{2x+y}{2y-x}[/tex]
so the slope of the tangent at (2, 3) is
[tex]\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}(2,3)=\dfrac74[/tex]
and its equation is then
[tex]y-3=\dfrac74(x-2)\implies y=\dfrac74x-\dfrac12[/tex]
For part (b), recall that normal lines are perpendicular to tangent lines, so their slopes are negative reciprocals of the slopes of the tangents, [tex]-\frac1{\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}}[/tex]. For example:
(I) The tangent has slope 7/4, so the normal has slope -4/7. Then the normal line has equation
[tex]y-3=-\dfrac47(x-2)\implies y=-\dfrac47x+\dfrac{29}7[/tex]
The points (2,3) and (-1,3) are not on their respective curves, so there are no tangent or normal lines to find. The point (3,-4) lies on the curve. The tangent line at (3,-4) has the equation y = (3/4)x - (25/4) and the normal line has the equation y = (-4/3)x - (8/3). The point (-2,1) also lies on the curve. The tangent line at (-2,1) has the equation y = (-3/2)x - 2 and the normal line has the equation y = (2/3)x + 7/3.
Explanation:Question: Verify that the given point is on the curve and find the lines that are (a) tangent and (b) normal to the curve at the given point.
I. x2 + xy - y2 = 1, (2,3)
To verify if the given point (2,3) lies on the curve, substitute x=2 and y=3 into the equation:
22 + 2(2)(3) - 32 = 4 + 12 - 9 = 7 ≠ 1
Since the expression on the left side doesn't equal 1, the point (2,3) is not on the curve. Therefore, there are no tangent or normal lines to find.
II. x2 + y2 = 25, (3,-4)
To verify if the given point (3,-4) lies on the curve, substitute x=3 and y=-4 into the equation:
32 + (-4)2 = 9 + 16 = 25
Since the expression on the left side is equal to 25, the point (3,-4) lies on the curve. To find the tangent line, take the derivative of the equation and evaluate it at the point (3,-4). The derivative of the equation is:
2x + 2y(dy/dx) = 0
Substituting x=3 and y=-4 into the derivative equation:
2(3) + 2(-4)(dy/dx) = 0
6 - 8(dy/dx) = 0
-8(dy/dx) = -6
dy/dx = 6/8 = 3/4
The slope of the tangent line at the point (3,-4) is 3/4. Using the point-slope form of a line, the equation of the tangent line is:
y - (-4) = (3/4)(x - 3)
Simplifying the equation:
y + 4 = (3/4)x - (9/4)
y = (3/4)x - (9/4) - (16/4)
y = (3/4)x - (25/4)
To find the normal line, we need to find the negative reciprocal of the slope of the tangent line. The negative reciprocal of 3/4 is -4/3. Using the point-slope form of a line, the equation of the normal line is:
y - (-4) = (-4/3)(x - 3)
Simplifying the equation:
y + 4 = (-4/3)x + (12/3)
y = (-4/3)x + (4/3) - (12/3)
y = (-4/3)x - (8/3)
III. x3y2 = 9, (-1,3)
To verify if the given point (-1,3) lies on the curve, substitute x=-1 and y=3 into the equation:
(-1)3(3)2 = -1(9) = -9 ≠ 9
Since the expression on the left side doesn't equal 9, the point (-1,3) is not on the curve. Therefore, there are no tangent or normal lines to find.
IV. y2 – 2x – 4y - 1 = 0, (-2, 1)
To verify if the given point (-2,1) lies on the curve, substitute x=-2 and y=1 into the equation:
(1)2 – 2(-2) – 4(1) - 1 = 1 + 4 - 4 - 1 = 0
Since the expression on the left side is equal to 0, the point (-2,1) lies on the curve. To find the tangent line, take the derivative of the equation and evaluate it at the point (-2,1). The derivative of the equation is:
-2 - 4y(dy/dx) – 4 = 0
Substituting x=-2 and y=1 into the derivative equation:
-2 - 4(1)(dy/dx) – 4 = 0
-6 - 4(dy/dx) = 0
-4(dy/dx) = 6
dy/dx = 6/-4 = -3/2
The slope of the tangent line at the point (-2,1) is -3/2. Using the point-slope form of a line, the equation of the tangent line is:
y - 1 = (-3/2)(x + 2)
Simplifying the equation:
y - 1 = (-3/2)x - 3
y = (-3/2)x - 3 + 1
y = (-3/2)x - 2
To find the normal line, we need to find the negative reciprocal of the slope of the tangent line. The negative reciprocal of -3/2 is 2/3. Using the point-slope form of a line, the equation of the normal line is:
y - 1 = (2/3)(x + 2)
Simplifying the equation:
y - 1 = (2/3)x + 4/3
y = (2/3)x + 4/3 + 1
y = (2/3)x + 7/3

Sara is the recipient of a trust that will pay her $500 on the first day of each month, starting immediately and continuing for 40 years. What is the value of this inheritance today if the applicable discount rate is 7.3 percent, compounded monthly
Answer:
The value of this inheritance is $78,192.28
Step-by-step explanation:
The monthly payments Sara will receive starting today for next 40 years is $500.
Annual Interest Rate = 7.3%
Monthly Interest Rate = Annual Interest Rate/12
=7.3/12
Monthly Interest Rate = 0.6083%
Present Value = $500 + $500/1.006083 + $500/1.006083^2 + $500/1.006083^3 + ... + $500/1.006083^479
Present Value = $500 * 1.006083 * (1 - (1/1.006083)^480) / 0.006083
Present Value = $500 * 156.39156
Present Value = $78,192.28
Thus, the value of this inheritance is $78,192.28
A poll conducted in 2013 found that 52% of U.S. adult Twitter user get at least some news on Twitter, and the standard error for this estimate was 2.4%. Identify each of the following statements as true or false. Provide an explanation justify each of your answers.
a) the data provide statistically significant evidence that more than half U.S. adult twitter users get some news throught Twitter. Use a significance level of alpha = 0.01
b) Since the standard error is 2.4%, we can conclude that 97.6% of all U.S. adult Twitter users were included in the study.
c) If we want to reduce the standard error of estimate, we should collect less data.
d) If we construct a 90% confidence interval for the perventage of U.S. adults Twitter suers who get some news through Twitter, this confidene interval will be wider than a corresponding 99% confidence interval.
Answer:
a) FALSE we obtain a NOT significant results after conduct the hypothesis tes.
b) FALSE, the standard error is not associated to a certain % of people included in the study
c) FALSE. if we want to reduce the standard error we need to increase the sample size or data
d) FALSE, always if we have a higher confidence level the confidence interval associated to this level would be wider than for a lower confidence interval
Step-by-step explanation:
Data given and notation n
n represent the random sample taken
[tex]\hat p=0.52[/tex] estimated proportion of U.S. adult Twitter user get at least some news on Twitter
[tex]p_o=0.5[/tex] is the value that we want to test
[tex]\alpha=0.01[/tex] represent the significance level
Confidence=99% or 0.99
z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)
[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value (variable of interest)
Concepts and formulas to use
We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that more than half U.S. adult twitter users get some news throught Twitter:
Null hypothesis:[tex]p\leq 0.5[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis:[tex]p > 0.5[/tex]
When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:
[tex]z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}[/tex] (1)
The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion [tex]\hat p[/tex] is significantly different from a hypothesized value [tex]p_o[/tex].
Calculate the statistic
The standard error is given:
[tex] SE = \sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}=0.024[/tex]
Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:
[tex]z=\frac{0.52 -0.5}{0.024}=0.833[/tex]
Statistical decision
It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.
The significance level assumed is [tex]\alpha=0.01[/tex]. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.
Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:
[tex]p_v =P(z>0.833)=0.2024[/tex]
So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given [tex]\alpha=0.01[/tex] we have [tex]p_v>\alpha[/tex] so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis.
Now let's idendity the statements
a) FALSE we obtain a NOT significant results after conduct the hypothesis tes.
b) FALSE, the standard error is not associated to a certain % of people included in the study
c) FALSE. if we want to reduce the standard error we need to increase the sample size or data
d) FALSE, always if we have a higher confidence level the confidence interval associated to this level would be wider than for a lower confidence interval
The statement a) is true because the data is statistically significant. Statements b), c) and d) are false because: standard error doesn't reflect the portion of the population included in the study; standard error reduces with more data; and a higher confidence level results in a wider interval, not narrower.
Explanation:a) This statement is true. The data can be considered statistically significant as long as the percentage is not within the standard error range below 50%. In this case, 52% minus 2.4% (standard error) = 49.6% which is below 50%. However, at a significance level of alpha = 0.01, it would be statistically significant since it is more than one standard error away from 50%.
b) This statement is false. The standard error is not an indication of what portion of the population is included in the study. Instead, it's a measure of statistical accuracy of the estimate.
c) This statement is false. The standard error of the estimate would typically decrease as we collect more data. As more data is collected, estimates are usually more accurate.
d) This statement is false. A 90% confidence interval is narrower than a 99% confidence interval. The larger the confidence level, the wider the interval to factor in more uncertainty.

Answer:
(1) The probability of the event X = 2 is 0.0413.
(2) The probability of the event X ≤ 1 is 0.009.
(3) The probability of the event X < 6 is 0.6846.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the random variable X follow a Binomial distribution with parameter n = 8 and p = 0.60.
The probability mass function of the Binomial distribution is:
[tex]P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x};\ x=0, 1, 2,...[/tex]
(1)
Compute the probability of the event X = 2 as follows:
[tex]P(X=2)={8\choose 2}(0.60)^{2}(1-0.60)^{8-2}\\=\frac{8!}{2!(8-2)!}\times (0.60)^{2}\times(0.40)^{6}\\=28\times0.36\times0.004096\\=0.0413[/tex]
Thus, the probability of the event X = 2 is 0.0413.
(2)
Compute the probability of the event X ≤ 1 as follows:
P (X ≤ 1) = P (X = 0) + P (X = 1)
[tex]={8\choose 0}(0.60)^{0}(1-0.60)^{8-0}+{8\choose 1}(0.60)^{1}(1-0.60)^{8-1}\\=\frac{8!}{0!(8-0)!}\times (0.60)^{0}\times(0.40)^{8}+\frac{8!}{1!(8-1)!}\times (0.60)^{1}\times(0.40)^{7}\\=(1\times1\times0.00066)+(8\times0.60\times0.00164)\\=0.008532\approx0.009[/tex]
Thus, the probability of the event X ≤ 1 is 0.009.
(3)
Compute the probability of the event X < 6 as follows:
P (X < 6) = 1 - P (X ≥ 6)
= 1 - P (X = 6) - P (X = 7) - P (X = 8)
[tex]=1-{8\choose 6}(0.60)^{6}(1-0.60)^{8-6}+{8\choose 7}(0.60)^{7}(1-0.60)^{8-7}+{8\choose 8}(0.60)^{8}(1-0.60)^{8-8}\\=1-\frac{8!}{6!(8-6)!}\times (0.60)^{6}\times(0.40)^{2}+\frac{8!}{7!(8-7)!}\times (0.60)^{7}\times(0.40)^{1}\\+\frac{8!}{8!(8-8)!}\times (0.60)^{8}\times(0.40)^{0}\\=1-0.2090-0.0896-0.0168\\=0.6846[/tex]
Thus, the probability of the event X < 6 is 0.6846.
The probabilities for a binomial distribution with p=0.6 and n=8 for different scenarios such as P(x=2), P(x≤1), and P(x>6), which involves combinations and powers of success and failure probabilities is equal to 0.2799, 0.0888, and 0.0332 respectively.
1) Upper P(x = 2):
To find P(x = 2), we can use the formula for the binomial probability:
P(x = 2) = (8 choose 2) × (0.6)² × (0.4)⁶= 0.2799
2) Upper P(x ≤ 1):
P(x ≤ 1) = P(x = 0) + P(x = 1) = (8 choose 0)× (0.6)⁰ ×(0.4)⁸ + (8 choose 1) ×(0.6)¹ ×(0.4)⁷ = 0.0888
3) Upper P(x > 6):
P(x > 6) = 1 - P(x ≤ 6) = 1 - (P(x = 0) + P(x = 1) + ... + P(x = 6)) = 1 - 0.9668 = 0.0332
The weights of steers in a herd are distributed normally. The standard deviation is 200lbs and the mean steer weight is 1300lbs. Find the probability that the weight of a randomly selected steer is between 939 and 1417lbs. Round your answer to four decimal places.
Answer:
Probability that the weight of a randomly selected steer is between 939 and 1417 lbs is 0.68389 .
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that the weights of steers in a herd are distributed normally. The standard deviation is 200 lbs and the mean steer weight is 1300 lbs.
So, Let X = weights of steers in a herd ,i.e.; X ~ N([tex]\mu,\sigma^{2}[/tex])
Here, [tex]\mu[/tex] = population mean = 1300 lbs
[tex]\sigma[/tex] = population standard deviation = 200 lbs
The z score area distribution is given by;
Z = [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] ~ N(0,1)
So, Probability that the weight of a randomly selected steer is between 939 and 1417 lbs = P(939 lbs < X < 1417 lbs)
P(939 lbs < X < 1417 lbs) = P(X < 1417) - P(X <= 939)
P(X < 1417) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] < [tex]\frac{1417-1300}{200}[/tex] ) = P(Z < 0.58) = 0.71904
P(X <= 939) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] <= [tex]\frac{939-1300}{200}[/tex] ) = P(Z <= -1.81) = 1 - P(Z < 1.81)
= 1 - 0.96485 = 0.03515
Therefore, P(939 lbs < X < 1417 lbs) = 0.71904 - 0.03515 = 0.68389 .

Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached file for explanation.
A rock is thrown upward from a bridge that is 57 feet above a road. The rock reaches its maximum height above the road 0.76 seconds after it is thrown and contacts the road 3.15 seconds after it was thrown.
(a) Write a Function (f) that determines the rock's height above the road (in feet) in terms of the number of seconds t since the rock was thrown.
The function that determines the rock's height above the road in terms of the number of seconds since it was thrown is f(t) = -16t² + 24.32t + 57. This quadratic function accounts for the initial upward velocity and the constant downward acceleration due to gravity.
To determine the rock's height above the road as a function of time after it was thrown, we can use the standard equation of motion under constant acceleration due to gravity, which in this case is downward. The formula for the height f(t) of the rock at time t seconds after it is thrown is:
f(t) = -16t² + vt + s
where:
-16t² represents the effect of gravity (in feet per second squared), because acceleration due to gravity is approximately 32 feet per second squared downward, and we use -16 because the height is measuring upward distance from the road,v is the initial velocity of the rock in feet per second (upward positive), ands is the initial height above the road in feet.Since the rock reaches its maximum height 0.76 seconds after it is thrown, the initial velocity v can be calculated using the fact that the velocity at the peak height is 0 (the rock stops moving upward for an instant before descending).
At maximum height, the velocity v had decreased by 32 feet/second for 0.76 seconds, which is v - 32(0.76) = 0. Solving for v, we find that v = 32(0.76).
The rock contacts the road 3.15 seconds after it was thrown, meaning it falls 57 feet in that time. Plugging these values into the formula:
f(t) = -16t² + 32(0.76)t + 57
which simplifies to:
f(t) = -16t² + 24.32t + 57
This function f(t) gives the rock's height in feet above the road at any time t measured in seconds since it was thrown, assuming negligible air resistance.
The correct function for the rock's height above the road in terms of the number of seconds [tex]\( t \)[/tex] since the rock was thrown is: [tex]\[ f(t) = -16t^2 + v_0t + 57 \][/tex] where [tex]\( v_0 \)[/tex] is the initial velocity of the rock in feet per second.
To derive this function, we use the kinematic equation for the vertical motion of an object under constant acceleration due to gravity, which is:
[tex]\[ h(t) = h_0 + v_0t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2 \][/tex]
Given that the bridge is 57 feet above the road, [tex]\( h_0 = 57 \)[/tex] feet. The acceleration due to gravity is [tex]\( g = 32 \)[/tex] feet per second squared. Plugging these values into the kinematic equation, we get:
[tex]\[ h(t) = 57 + v_0t - \frac{1}{2}(32)t^2 \][/tex]
Simplifying the equation by multiplying [tex]\( \frac{1}{2} \)[/tex] with 32 gives us:
[tex]\[ h(t) = 57 + v_0t - 16t^2 \][/tex]
This simplifies to the function [tex]\( f(t) \)[/tex] as provided above. Note that [tex]\( v_0 \)[/tex] is still unknown and will need to be determined using additional information given in the problem, such as the time it takes for the rock to reach its maximum height.
To find [tex]\( v_0 \)[/tex], we can use the fact that at the maximum height, the velocity of the rock is zero. The kinematic equation relating velocity and time under constant acceleration is:
[tex]\[ v(t) = v_0 - gt \][/tex]
Setting [tex]\( v(t) = 0 \)[/tex] at the maximum height and solving for [tex]\( v_0 \)[/tex] gives us:
[tex]\[ 0 = v_0 - gt_{\text{max}} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ v_0 = gt_{\text{max}} \][/tex]
Given that the rock reaches its maximum height 0.76 seconds after it is thrown, [tex]\( t_{\text{max}} = 0.76 \)[/tex] seconds. Plugging this into the equation for [tex]\( v_0 \)[/tex], we get:
[tex]\[ v_0 = 32 \times 0.76 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ v_0 = 24.32 \][/tex]
Now we can write the complete function with the known values:
[tex]\[ f(t) = -16t^2 + 24.32t + 57 \][/tex]
This function represents the height of the rock above the road as a function of time since it was thrown.
