Answer 1

Answer:

[tex](a)\ 0.0864[/tex]

[tex](b)\ 0.096[/tex]

[tex](c)\ 0.24[/tex]

[tex](d)\ 0.936[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]p \to[/tex] close

[tex]q \to[/tex] fail to close

[tex]p = 60\%[/tex]

[tex]p = 0.60[/tex]

First, calculate the value of q

Using complement rule

[tex]q = 1 - p[/tex]

[tex]q = 1 - 0.60[/tex]

[tex]q = 0.40[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]p = 0.60[/tex] and [tex]q = 0.40[/tex]

Solving (a): Fails to close on the 4th attempt

This means that he closes the first three attempts. The event is represented as: p p p q

So, we have:

[tex]Pr = p*p*p*q[/tex]

[tex]Pr = p^3*q[/tex]

[tex]Pr = 0.60^3*0.40[/tex]

[tex]Pr = 0.0864[/tex]

Solving (b): He closes for the first time on the 3rd attempt

This means that he fails to close the first two attempts. The event is represented as: q q p

So, we have:

[tex]Pr = q * q * p[/tex]

[tex]Pr = q^2 * p[/tex]

[tex]Pr = 0.40^2 * 0.60[/tex]

[tex]Pr = 0.096[/tex]

Solving (c): First he closes is his 2nd attempt

This means that he fails to close the first. The event is represented as: q p

So, we have:

[tex]Pr = q * p[/tex]

[tex]Pr = 0.40 * 0.60[/tex]

[tex]Pr = 0.24[/tex]

Solving (d): The first he close is one of his 3 attempts

To do this, we make use of complement rule

The event that he does not close any of his first three attempts is: q q q

The probability is:

[tex]Pr = q*q*q[/tex]

[tex]Pr = q^3[/tex]

The opposite is that the first he closes is one of the first three

So, we have:

[tex]Pr' = 1- Pr[/tex] --- complement rule

[tex]Pr' = 1- q^3[/tex]

[tex]Pr' = 1- 0.40^3[/tex]

[tex]Pr' = 1- 0.064[/tex]

[tex]Pr' = 0.936[/tex]

What are the coordinates for the angle π/4 on tge unit circle

Answers

Answer: Both x and y are [tex]\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}[/tex] which is the same as [tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex]

In other words, the point [tex]\left( \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right)[/tex] is on the unit circle for the angle pi/4 radians. This point is equivalent to [tex]\left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)[/tex]

==============================================

Explanation:

The angle pi/4 radians is equivalent to 45 degrees. Draw out a 45-45-90 triangle with hypotenuse 1, and you'll find the congruent legs are each [tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex] units long (apply the pythagorean theorem). If you apply the sine and cosine ratios, you'll get the answer shown above.

Recall that

x = cos(theta)y = sin(theta)

and also

cos = adjacent/hypotenusesin = opposite/hypotenuse

The pythagorean theorem is a^2+b^2 = c^2.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]m = \frac{4}{7}\\[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached graph

Required

The constant rate of change (m)

This is calculated as:

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

From the graph, we have:

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (3,4)[/tex]

[tex](x_2,y_2) = (10,8)[/tex]

So, the formula becomes:

[tex]m = \frac{8-4}{10 - 3}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{4}{7}\\[/tex]

At the beginning of a basketball season the Panthers won40 games out of 17 games at this rate how many games will they win in a normal 120 game season

Answers

Answer:

51

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem states "the Panthers won 40 games out of 17 games"

It is impossible to win more games than the number of games.

Perhaps the problem should state "the Panthers won 17 games out of 40 games"

If this is correct, then we can answer the question with a proportion.

17 wins is to 40 games as x wins is to 120 games

17/40 = x/120

40 * x = 17 * 120

Divide both sides by 40.

x = 17 * 3

x = 51

five balls, numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, are placed in a bin. two balls are drawn at random without replacement. what is the probability that the sum of the numbers on the balls drawn is 7?

Answers

Answer:

15/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the numbers put them over 7

The probability that the sum of the numbers on the balls drawn is 7 from total 5 balls without replacement =  [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

What is probability?

Probability is a branch of math which deals with finding out the likelihood of the occurrence of an event. Probability measures the chance of an event occurred and is equal to the number of favorable events divided by the total number of events. The value of probability ranges between 0 and 1, where 0 denotes uncertainty and 1 denotes certainty.

According to the question

Five balls, numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, are placed in a bin.

Two balls are drawn at random without replacement.

i.e

Total possibility for drawn balls without replacement = [tex]P_{r} ^{n}[/tex]

where n = 5

r = 2

[tex]P_{r} ^{n}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}[/tex]

[tex]P_{2} ^{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5!}{(5-2)!}[/tex]  

[tex]P_{2} ^{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5*4*3!}{(3)!}[/tex]

[tex]P_{2} ^{5}[/tex] = 20

Now,  the probability that the sum of the numbers on the balls drawn is 7 is

(2,5) (5,2) (3,4) (4,3) = 4 possibilities in total

Therefore,

Probability = [tex]\frac{Number of favorable outcomes}{Total outcomes}[/tex]

                   = [tex]\frac{4}{20}[/tex]

                   = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Hence, the probability that the sum of the numbers on the balls drawn is 7 from total 5 balls without replacement =  [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the relation :

P = (318t + 6792) / (1.19t + 107.36)

P = % of household with PC

t = years since 2000

1.) We need to find t, when P = 85%

P = 0.85

0.85 = (318t + 6792) / (1.19t + 107.36)

0.85(1.19t + 107.36) = (318t + 6792)

1.0115t + 91.256 = 318t + 6792

Collect like terms :

1.0115t - 318t = 6792 - 91.256

−316.9885t = 6700.744

t = 6700.744 / - 316.9885

t = - 21.138760

t = - 21 years

2000 - 21 years = 1979

Percentage who had computer in 2014

t = 2014 - 2000 = 14

P = (318(14) + 6792) / (1.19(14)+ 107.36)

P = (4452 + 6792) / (16.66 + 107.36)

P = 11244 / 124.02

P = 90.6627

P = approximately 91%

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

b = 2A/h

Step-by-step explanation:

To isolate b, you should first "get rid" of the 1/2. The best way to do this to multiply both sides of the equation by 2. The left side becomes 2A, while the right becomes bh (1/2 multiplied by its reciprocal, 2, becomes 1). Next, you have to move the h to the left side, and you could do so by dividing both sides by h. The left side becomes 2A/h, and the right is just b by itself, getting you b = 2A/h.
