Five individuals, including a and b, take seats around a circular table in a completely random fashion. suppose the seats are numbered 1, . . . , 5. let x = a's seat number and y = b's seat number. if a sends a written message around the table to b in the direction in which they are closest, how many individuals (including a and
b.would you expect to handle the message?

Answers

Answer 1
Will use A and B in place of a and b for clarity.
Let x=number of individuals away from A, including A & B

Without loss of generality, assume A is seated in seat #1.

Then B is seated at 2,3,4,5 with equal probability.
Half of the time B is seated at 2 or 5, each of which is next to A, therefore x=2
The other half of the time B is seated at 3 or 4, each of which is separated from A by one seat, then x=3.

The expected number of individuals
E[X]=sum (x*P(x))
=2*(1/2)+3(1/2)
=2.5

So the expected number of individuals to handle the message is 2.5.

Answer 2

The number of  individuals you would expect to handle the message is 2.5.

Part a- what is the most likely value of the correlation coefficient of the data in the table? Based on the correlation coefficient, describe the relationship between time and surface are puddle. [choose the value of the correlation coefficient from -1,-0.99,-0.5,-0.02]

Part b - what is the value of the slope of the graph of surface area versus time between 5 and 8 hours and what does the slope represent?

Part c- does the data in the table represent correlation or causation?

F(x) = 9 sin(x) + cot(x), −π ≤ x ≤ π find the interval of increase.

Answers

We are given the function
F(x) = 9 sinx + cot x

We need to take the first derivative of the given function so,
F' (x) = 9 cos x - csc² x

Next, we equate the first derivative of the function to 0 and solve for the values of x
0 = 9 cos x - csc² x
Solving for x
x = 2.04

Picking out an arbitrary value between 2.04 and π, say 3 and substituting in F(x)
F(3) = 9 sin 3 + cot 3 = 19.55

Therefore, the interval where the function is increasing is from 2.04 to π
Consequently, the interval where the function is decreasing is from -π to 2.04

Final answer:

To find the interval of increase for the function F(x) = 9*sin(x) + cot(x), we need to find where the derivative is positive. The interval of increase for the function is (0, π/2) and (π, 3π/2).

Explanation:

In order to find the interval of increase for the function F(x) = 9*sin(x) + cot(x), we need to find where the derivative is positive. Let's first find the derivative of F(x). The derivative of sin(x) is cos(x) and the derivative of cot(x) is -csc^2(x).

So, the derivative of F(x) is 9*cos(x) - csc^2(x). Now, to find where the derivative is positive, we need to find the intervals where 9*cos(x) - csc^2(x) > 0. We can solve this inequality by analyzing the sign changes of the derivative function.

By analyzing the sign changes of 9*cos(x) - csc^2(x), we find that the derivative is positive when x is in the intervals (0, π/2) and (π, 3π/2). Therefore, the interval of increase for the function F(x) = 9*sin(x) + cot(x) is (0, π/2) and (π, 3π/2).

If a wheel with a radius of 80 inches spins at a rate of 50 revolutions per minute, find the approximate linear velocity in miles per hour.

Answers

Check the picture,

let A be the point where the circle (the wheel) touches the ground. One revolution is completed when A is back on the ground. This happens after all the points in the circumference, have touched the ground.

So one revolution means 1 circumference, which is equal to one 2πR.

50 revolutions per minute means the velocity  is  50*2πR inches per 1 minute.

50*2πR=50*2*3.14*80 (inches) =  25,120 inches per minute.

1 foot is 12 inch, so 25,120 inches are [tex] \frac{25,120}{12} =2093.3 [/tex] feet

1 mile is 5280 feet so 2093.3 feet are [tex] \frac{2093.3}{5280}= 0.4[/tex] mile

now we convert minutes to hour: 1 hour = 60 min, so 1 min=1/60 hour

finally:

velocity= [tex] \frac{0.4miles}{1/60 hours}= 0.4*60 mi/h=4*6 mi/h= 24 mi/h[/tex]

The face on the actual sculpture of George Washington’s is 60 feet .

What is scale factor?

The scale factor is a measure for similar figures, who look the same but have different scales or measures. Suppose, two circle looks similar but they could have varying radii. The scale factor states the scale by which a figure is bigger or smaller than the original figure.  

According to the question

Mount Rushmore is a sculpture that was carved using a model with a scale factor of 1 in = 1 ft.  

As we know

1 feet = 12 inches  

i.e

Scale factor is 12  for sculpture .

Final answer:

To find the flux of a vector field through a closed boundary using the divergence theorem, calculate the divergence of the vector field and evaluate the triple integral of the divergence over the solid bounded by the boundary. In this case, the flux is 3 times the volume of the solid.

Explanation:

The student is asking how to use the divergence theorem to find the flux of a vector field through a closed boundary. In this case, the vector field is defined as f(x, y, z) = ⟨x, y, 4z⟩ and the closed boundary is a solid bounded by the paraboloid z = x^2 + y^2 and the plane z = 9.

To use the divergence theorem, we need to calculate the divergence of the vector field, which is the sum of the partial derivatives of f with respect to each variable. In this case, the divergence is 3.

Then, we can use the divergence theorem to find the flux through the closed boundary by evaluating the triple integral of the divergence over the solid bounded by the paraboloid and the plane. In this case, the flux is 3 times the volume of the solid.

There are 375 books sold at Sid's Bookstore. The table below summarizes these books by genre. This info is presented in circle graph. Find the central angle measure for Self Help slice in graph. Mystery 99, romance 81, self help 90, cooking 57, biography 48.

Answers

When you plot the data in a pie graph, it looks like that shown in the picture. A circle is formed when you draw a point and connect it from end to end forming a complete revolution. One revolution equals 360°. Therefore, each piece of pie for each type of book is a fraction of one revolution. The fraction can be determined by dividing the number for a specific type of book to the total number of books. Specifically, the fraction for the Self Help slice would be 90/375 which is equal to 0.24 or 24%. Then, 24% of 360 is 86.4. Therefore, the central angle formed by the Self Help slice is 86.4°.

The central angle measure for the 'Self Help' slice in the circle graph is 86.4 degrees.

To find the central angle of the 'Self Help' slice in a circle graph (pie chart), we first need to calculate the total number of books sold, which is provided as 375.

We then take the number of 'Self Help' books which is 90, and determine what fraction of the total this represents. The fraction for 'Self Help' books is 90/375. A full circle has an angle of 360 degrees, so we multiply the fraction by 360 to find the central angle for that section of the pie chart.

= (90/375) * 360 = 0.24 * 360 = 86.4 degrees

Thus, the central angle measure for the 'Self Help' slice in the graph is 86.4 degrees.

find the x intercepts of the parabola with vertex (5,-12) and y intercept (0,63)

Answers

Final answer:

To find the x-intercepts of the parabola with vertex (5,-12) and y intercept (0,63), substitute the vertex values into the equation of the parabola and find the value of the constant. Then, substitute the value of the constant back into the equation and solve for x to find the x-intercepts. The x-intercepts of the parabola are x = 3 and x = 7.

Explanation:

To find the x-intercepts of the parabola with vertex (5,-12) and y-intercept (0,63), we need to find the values of x when y is equal to zero. Since the vertex of the parabola is (5,-12), the equation of the parabola can be written as[tex]y = a(x-5)^2 - 12.[/tex] To find the value of a, we can use the y-intercept (0,63) by substituting the values of x and y into the equation.

[tex]63 = a(0-5)^2 - 12[/tex]

63 = 25a - 12

25a = 75

a = 3

Now that we have the value of a, we can substitute it back into the equation and solve for the x-intercepts:

[tex]0 = 3(x-5)^2 - 12[/tex]

[tex]3(x-5)^2 = 12[/tex]

[tex](x-5)^2 = 4[/tex]

x-5 = ±2

x = 5 ± 2

Therefore, the x-intercepts of the parabola are x = 3 and x = 7.

126 employees is 3% of what number of employees

Answers

First, define what it is that is being asked.

"of" in mathematics usually means that the numbers or values described are being multiplied.

And so the word problem becomes:
126 employees = 3% * x employees
Solve:

126 = .03 * x
x * .03 = 126
(x * .03) / .03 = 126 / .03

x = 4200 employees


Thus your answer is 4200 employees.
Your answer is 4,200 employees.

If 126 is equivalent to 3%, then we can say that 126/? = 3/100, which you can then use to find the answer by doing 126 ÷ 3 = 42, and then multiplying 42 by 100 to get 4,200.
