Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the weights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

[tex]X \sim N(3234,871)[/tex]  

Where [tex]\mu=3234[/tex] and [tex]\sigma=871[/tex]

We select a sample size of n = 621. And we want to find this probability:

[tex] P(2363 < X < 4105) [/tex]

[tex]P(2363<X<4105)=P(\frac{2363-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{4105-\mu}{\sigma})=P(\frac{2363-3234}{871}<Z<\frac{4105-3234}{871})=P(-1<z<1)[/tex]

And we can find this probability taking this difference:

And we can find this probability taking this difference:

[tex]P(-1<z<1)=P(z<1)-P(z<-1)=0.977-0.0228=0.955 [/tex]

Five urns are numbered 3,4,5,6 and 7, respectively. Inside each urn, there are n² dollars where n is the number on the urn.
The following experiment is performed:
An urn is selected at random. If its number is a prime number the experimenter receives the amount in the urn and the experiment is over. If its number is not a prime number, a second urn is selected from the remaining four and the experimenter receives the total amount in the two urns selected.
What is the probability that the experimenter ends up with exactly twenty- five dollars?

Answers

Answer:

0.25 or 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

3, 5 and 7 are prime numbers.

There are two possible outcomes for which the experimenter ends up with exactly twenty-five dollars:

A) Choosing urn 5 (5 x 5 = 25).

[tex]P(A) = \frac{1}{5}[/tex]

B) Choosing urn 4 and then urn 3 ([4 x 4] + [3 x 3] = 25).

[tex]P(B)= \frac{1}{5} *\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{20}[/tex]

The probability that the experimenter ends up with exactly $25 is:

[tex]P(x=\$25)=P(A)+P(B)= \frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{20}\\P(x=\$25)=0.25=25\%[/tex]

According to data from the state blood program, 40 percent of all individuals have group A blood. If six individuals give blood, find the probability that exactly three of the individuals have group A blood.

Answers

Final answer:

The probability that exactly three out of six individuals have group A blood, with a 40 percent chance for each individual, is found using the binomial probability formula. The calculation yields approximately 27.648% as the probability for exactly three individuals having group A blood.

Explanation:

The question asks for the probability that exactly three out of six individuals have group A blood, given that 40 percent of all individuals have group A blood. This is a binomial probability problem because there are two outcomes (having group A blood or not) and a fixed number of trials (six individuals).

Let's denote X as the random variable representing the number of individuals with group A blood. The probability of success on any given trial is p = 0.40 (having group A blood). The probability of failure is q = 1 - p = 0.60 (not having group A blood).

The binomial probability formula is:

[tex]P(X = k) = C(n, k) * p^k * q^(n-k)[/tex]

where:

C(n, k) is the combination of n items taken k at a time,p is the probability of success,k is the number of successes,n is the number of trials, andq is the probability of failure.

For our problem:

n = 6 (total number of individuals),k = 3 (number of individuals with group A blood that we want to find the probability for),p = 0.40,q = 0.60.

Plugging these values into the binomial formula gives:

[tex]P(X = 3) = C(6, 3) * (0.40)^3 * (0.60)^3[/tex]

First, calculate the combination:

C(6, 3) = 6! / (3! * (6-3)!) = 20

Then, calculate the probability:

[tex]P(X = 3) = 20 * (0.40)^3 * (0.60)^3 = 20 * 0.064 * 0.216 = 0.27648[/tex]

Hence, the probability that exactly three of the individuals have group A blood is approximately 0.27648 or 27.648%.

A certain type of plywood consists of 5 layers. The thickness of the layers follows a normal distribution with mean 5 mm and standard deviation 0.2 mm. Find the probability that the plywood is less than 24mm thick.

Answers

The resulting probability is approximately 100%.

To find the probability that the plywood is less than 24mm thick, we need to calculate the z-score for 24mm using the given mean and standard deviation. The z-score formula is:

z = (x - mean) / standard deviation

Substituting the values, we get:

z = (24 - 5) / 0.2 = 95

We can then look up the z-score in a standard normal distribution table to find the corresponding probability.

In this case, the probability is practically 1 (or 100%) since 24mm is significantly greater than the mean.

Therefore, the probability that the plywood is less than 24mm thick is approximately 100%.

Convert the following numbers to Mayan notation. Show your calculations used to get your answers. 135?

Answers

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

In Mayan notation there are only 3 symbols

   dot   .    means one

   line   ---   means five

  snail          means zero

And the are three levels,     the lower means     x 1

                                              the first means       x 20

                                              the second means  x 400

                                              the higher means    x 8000

Then, 135 is lower than 400, so we must start in the first level and need to divide 135 by 20.                         6

                                        20    135

                                                   15

Finally place 6 in the fist level and 15 in the lower lever, like this

And 120 + 15 = 135.          

                             

Final answer:

To convert 135 to Mayan notation, one must work with a base-20 system. In this system, 135 is broken down to (6 x 20) + 15, which is written in Mayan as a bar and three dots on top, and below that, six dots.

Explanation:

The Maya used a vigesimal (base-20) numeral system for their calculations, which is different from our familiar base-10 system. To convert the number 135 to Mayan notation, you need to express it in base-20.

135 in base-20 is calculated as:

135 divided by 20 gives 6 as the quotient and 15 as the remainder.Therefore, 135 can be written as (6 x 20) + 15.In Mayan numerals, 6 is represented by six dots and 15 by a bar (which equals 5) and three dots on top of it.

In Mayan notation, numbers are written vertically with the largest value at the top, so 135 would be represented with a bar and three dots on top (for 15), and under that, six dots (for 6).

Answers

Answer:

a) y = 7.74*x + 7.5

b)  y = 1.148*x + 6.036

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

                                  f(x) = 6 - 10*x^2

                                  g(x) = 8 - (x-2)^2

Find:

(a) The line simultaneously tangent to both graphs having the LARGEST slope has equation

(b) The other line simultaneously tangent to both graphs has equation,

Solution:

- Find the derivatives of the two functions given:

                                f'(x) = -20*x

                                g'(x) = -2*(x-2)

- Since, the derivative of both function depends on the x coordinate. We will choose a point x_o which is common for both the functions f(x) and g(x). Point: ( x_o , g(x_o)) Hence,

                                g'(x_o) = -2*(x_o -2)

- Now compute the gradient of a line tangent to both graphs at point (x_o , g(x_o) ) on g(x) graph and point ( x , f(x) ) on function f(x):

                                m = (g(x_o) - f(x)) / (x_o - x)

                                m = (8 - (x_o-2)^2 - 6 + 10*x^2) / (x_o - x)

                                m = (8 - (x_o^2 - 4*x_o + 4) - 6 + 10*x^2)/(x_o - x)

                                m = ( 8 - x_o^2 + 4*x_o -4 -6 +10*x^2) /(x_o - x)

                                m = ( -2 - x_o^2 + 4*x_o + 10*x^2) /(x_o - x)

- Now the gradient of the line computed from a point on each graph m must be equal to the derivatives computed earlier for each function:

                                m = f'(x) = g'(x_o)

- We will develop the first expression:

                                m = f'(x)

                                ( -2 - x_o^2 + 4*x_o + 10*x^2) /(x_o - x) = -20*x

Eq 1.                          (-2 - x_o^2 + 4*x_o + 10*x^2) = -20*x*x_o + 20*x^2

And,

                              m = g'(x_o)

                              ( -2 - x_o^2 + 4*x_o + 10*x^2) /(x_o - x) = -20*x

                              -2 - x_o^2 + 4*x_o + 10*x^2 = -2(x_o - 2)(x_o - x)

Eq 2                       -2 - x_o^2 + 4*x_o+ 10*x^2 = -2(x_o^2 - x_o*(x + 2) + 2*x)

- Now subtract the two equations (Eq 1 - Eq 2):

                              -20*x*x_o + 20*x^2 + 2*x_o^2 - 2*x_o*(x + 2) + 4*x = 0

                              -22*x*x_o + 20*x^2 + 2*x_o^2 - 4*x_o + 4*x = 0

- Form factors:       20*x^2 - 20*x*x_o - 2*x*x_o + 2*x_o^2 - 4*x_o + 4*x = 0

                              20*x*(x - x_o) - 2*x_o*(x - x_o) + 4*(x - x_o) = 0

                               (x - x_o)(20*x - 2*x_o + 4) = 0  

                               x = x_o   ,     x_o = 10x + 2    

- For x_o = 10x + 2  ,

                               (g(10*x + 2) - f(x))/(10*x + 2 - x) = -20*x

                                (8 - 100*x^2 - 6 + 10*x^2)/(9*x + 2) = -20*x

                                (-90*x^2 + 2) = -180*x^2 - 40*x

                                90*x^2 + 40*x + 2 = 0  

- Solve the quadratic equation above:

                                 x = -0.0574, -0.387      

- Largest slope is at x = -0.387 where equation of line is:

                                  y - 4.502 = -20*(-0.387)*(x + 0.387)

                                  y = 7.74*x + 7.5          

- Other tangent line:

                                  y - 5.97 = 1.148*(x + 0.0574)

                                  y = 1.148*x + 6.036

Final answer:

To determine the values of r for which the given differential equation has solutions of the form y = tr for t > 0, substitute y = tr into the given differential equation and solve for r. The values of r that satisfy the equation are r = 1.

Explanation:

To determine the values of r for which the given differential equation has solutions of the form y = tr for t > 0, we need to substitute y = tr into the given differential equation and solve for r.

First, we find the first and second derivatives of y = tr:

y' = r

y'' = 0

Substituting these derivatives into the differential equation, we get:

t2(0) - 2t(r) + 2(tr) = 0

Simplifying the equation, we have:

(2 - 2r)t = 0

This equation is satisfied when t = 0 or r = 1. Therefore, the values of r for which the given differential equation has solutions of the form y = tr for t > 0 are r = 1.

Answers

Answer:

There is an 88% probability that a course has a final exam or a research paper.

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this problem building the Venn's diagram of these probabilities.

I am going to say that:

E is the probability that a course has final exam.

P is the probability that a course requires research paper.

We have that:

[tex]E = e + (E \cap P)[/tex]

In which e is the probability that a course has final exam but does not require research paper and [tex]E \cap P[/tex] is the probability that a course has both of these things.

By the same logic, we have that:

[tex]P = p + (E \cap P)[/tex]

(a) Find the probability that a course has a final exam or a research paper.

This is

[tex]Pr = e + p + (E \cap P)[/tex]

Suppose that 26% of courses have a research paper and a final exam.

This means that

[tex]E \cap P = 0.26[/tex]

43% of courses require research papers.

So [tex]P = 0.43[/tex]

[tex]P = p + (E \cap P)[/tex]

[tex]0.43 = p + 0.26[/tex]

[tex]p = 0.17[/tex]

71% of courses have final exams

So [tex]E = 0.71[/tex]

[tex]E = e + (E \cap P)[/tex]

[tex]0.71 = e + 0.26[/tex]

[tex]e = 0.45[/tex]

The probability is

[tex]Pr = e + p + (E \cap P) = 0.45 + 0.17 + 0.26 = 0.88[/tex]

Umbrella Corporation purchases a raw material in 55-gallon drums from a supplier. Records for the supplier indicate that the impurity level in the material per drum has a normal distribution with a mean of 3% and a standard deviation of 0.4%. An impurity level of 4% or more in any shipment requires that Umbrella return the entire drum to the supplier.
What is the probability that Umbrella has to return any given shipment?

Answers

Answer:

The probability that Umbrella returns any shipment is 0.0062.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = the impurity level in the material per drum

Then it is provided that,

[tex]X\sim N(\mu = 0.03,\ \sigma=0.004)[/tex]

Also if the impurity level is more than or equal to 4% or 0.04 in any shipment, then Umbrella returns the entire drum to the supplier.

Compute the probability that Umbrella returns any shipment as:

[tex]P(X\geq 0.04)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\geq \frac{0.04-0.03}{0.004}) \\=P(Z\geq 2.5)\\=1-P(Z<2.5)\\=1-0.99379\\=0.00621\\\approx0.0062[/tex]

Use the z-table fro left z-scores to determine the probability.

Thus, the probability that Umbrella returns any shipment is 0.0062.

Suppose we have a population of N deer in a study area. Initially n deer from this population are captured, marked so that they can be identified as having been captured, and returned to the population. After the deer are allowed to mix together, m deer are captured from the population and the number k of these deer having marks from the first capture is observed. Assuming that the first and second captures can be considered random selections from the population and that no deer have either entered or left the study area during the sampling period, what is the probability of observing k marked deer in the second sample of m deer

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P(k) = \frac{(n C k) [(N-n) C (m-k)]}{(NCm)}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Number of possible combination of selecting ‘m’ deer in second sample

Total number of deer are N and therefore the combinations can be calculated as (N С m).  

Step 2: Number of possible combination of marked deer ‘k’ in second sample

Total number of marked deer in total population is ‘n’. Therefore, the possible number of selecting marked deer is (n C k).

Step 3: Number of possible combination unmarked deer in second sample

Since we have already calculated the total combinations of selecting marked deer in the second sample. Hence, we have to calculate the total unmarked deer in total population which is N-n and number of unmarked deer in the second sample which is m-k.

Therefore, total possible combination of unmarked deer in second sample is [(N-n) C (m-k)].

Step 4: Probability of selecting unmarked deer in the second sample is

Let the probability of selecting unmarked deer in the second sample be P(k)

Therefore,

Answers

Final answer:

The ball travels a distance of 52 ft during the time interval [3,3.5]. The average velocity over this interval is 104 ft/sec. When we calculate over increasingly smaller time intervals, it appears the instantaneous velocity at t=3 is 96 ft/sec.

Explanation:

(a) We need to find the displacement Δs over the time interval [3,3.5]. For that, we subtract the position at time 3 from the position at time 3.5:

Δs = s(3.5) - s(3) = 16(3.5^2) - 16(3^2) = 196 - 144 = 52 ft.

(b) We calculate the average velocity by dividing Δs by Δt. That is Δs/Δt = 52/0.5 = 104 ft/sec.

(c) To estimate the instantaneous velocity at t=3, we have to compute the average velocities over smaller and smaller intervals centered at t=3. Let's calculate the average velocities for [3,3.01],[2.999,3]:

For [3,3.01]: Δs/Δt = [16*(3.01)^2 - 16*3^2]/0.01 = 96.12 ft/sec. For [2.999,3]: Δs/Δt = [16*3^2 - 16*(2.999)^2]/0.001 = 96 ft/sec.

Let's solve the problem step-by-step.

Given:
The distance traveled by the ball after t seconds is given by the function: [tex]s(t) = 16t^2[/tex]

(a) To find the distance traveled, we need to calculate the change in the distance function, which is

The Dow Jones Industrial Average has had a mean gain of 432 pear year with a standard deviation of 722. A random sample of 40 years is selected. What is the probability that the mean gain for the sample was between 250 and 500?

Answers

Answer:

66.98% probability that the mean gain for the sample was between 250 and 500.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, it is important to know the Normal probability distribution and the Central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

In this problem, we have that:

[tex]\mu = 432, \sigma = 722, n = 40, s = \frac{722}{\sqrt{40}} = 114.16[/tex]

What is the probability that the mean gain for the sample was between 250 and 500?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 500 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 250.

So

X = 500

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{500 - 432}{114.16}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.6[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.6[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.7257.

X = 250

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{250 - 432}{114.16}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.59[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.59[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0559.

So there is a 0.7257 - 0.0559 = 0.6698 = 66.98% probability that the mean gain for the sample was between 250 and 500.

The probability that the mean gain for a sample of 40 years is between 250 and 500 is approximately 0.6698, or 66.98%.

To determine the probability that the mean gain for a random sample of 40 years of the Dow Jones Industrial Average is between 250 and 500, we will use the concept of the sampling distribution of the sample mean. The steps involved are:

State the given information:

  - Population mean [tex](\(\mu\))[/tex] = 432

  - Population standard deviation [tex](\(\sigma\))[/tex] = 722

  - Sample size n = 40

Find the standard error of the mean (SEM):

  The standard error of the mean is calculated as:

  [tex]\[ \text{SEM} = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{722}{\sqrt{40}} \approx 114.2 \][/tex]

Convert the sample means to z-scores:

  To find the probability that the sample mean [tex](\(\bar{x}\))[/tex] is between 250 and 500, we convert these values to z-scores using the formula:

  [tex]\[ z = \frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\text{SEM}} \] For \(\bar{x} = 250\): \[ z = \frac{250 - 432}{114.2} \approx \frac{-182}{114.2} \approx -1.59 \] For \(\bar{x} = 500\):[/tex]

  [tex]\[ z = \frac{500 - 432}{114.2} \approx \frac{68}{114.2} \approx 0.60 \][/tex]

Find the probability corresponding to the z-scores:

  Using the standard normal distribution table or a calculator, we find the probabilities corresponding to these z-scores.

   [tex]\(z = -1.59\), \(P(Z \leq -1.59) \approx 0.0559\) \\\(z = 0.60\), \(P(Z \leq 0.60) \approx 0.7257\)[/tex]

Calculate the probability that the mean gain is between 250 and 500:

  \[tex][ P(250 \leq \bar{x} \leq 500) = P(Z \leq 0.60) - P(Z \leq -1.59) \] \[[/tex]

 = 0.7257 - 0.0559 = 0.6698

Conclusion:

The probability that the mean gain for a sample of 40 years is between 250 and 500 is approximately 0.6698, or 66.98%.

The measures of the angles of ABC are given by the expressions in the table A( 6X - 1 ) ° B 20° C ( x + 14 ) ° what are the measures of angles A and C ? Enter your answers in the boxes mA = mC = ​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. This means that in triangle ABC,

Angle A + angle B + angle C = 180

Therefore,

6x - 1 + 20 + x + 14 = 180

6x + x + 20 + 14 - 1 = 180

7x + 33 = 180

Subtracting 33 from the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes

7x + 33 - 33 = 180 - 33

7x = 147

Dividing the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 7, it becomes

7x/7 = 147/7

x = 21

Therefore

Angle A = 6x - 1 = 6 × 21 - 1

Angle A = 125 degrees

Angle C = x + 14 = 21 + 14

Angle C = 35 degrees.

You are applying for a job at two companies. Company A offers starting salaries with mu equals μ=$27,000 and σ=$3,000. Company B offers starting salaries with μ=$27,000 and sσ=$7,000. From which company are you more likely to get an offer of ​33,000 or​more?

Answers

Answer:

For the company A : [tex] P(X>33000)= P(Z> \frac{33000-27000}{3000}) =P(Z>2) = 1-P(Z<2)= 0.0228[/tex]

For the company B: [tex] P(X>33000)= P(Z> \frac{33000-27000}{7000}) =P(Z>0.857) = 1-P(Z<0.857)= 0.196[/tex]

So as we can see we have a higher probability for the company B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Company A

Let X the random variable that represent the salaries of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

[tex]X \sim N(27000,3000)[/tex]  

Where [tex]\mu=27000[/tex] and [tex]\sigma=3000[/tex]

For this case if we find the probability for [tex] P(X>33000)[/tex] using the z score given by:

[tex] z= \frac{x -\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

And if we use this formula we got:

[tex] P(X>33000)= P(Z> \frac{33000-27000}{3000}) =P(Z>2) = 1-P(Z<2)= 0.0228[/tex]

Company B

Let X the random variable that represent the salaries of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

[tex]X \sim N(27000,7000)[/tex]  

Where [tex]\mu=27000[/tex] and [tex]\sigma=7000[/tex]

For this case if we find the probability for [tex] P(X>33000)[/tex] using the z score given by:

[tex] z= \frac{x -\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

And if we use this formula we got:

[tex] P(X>33000)= P(Z> \frac{33000-27000}{7000}) =P(Z>0.857) = 1-P(Z<0.857)= 0.196[/tex]

The company from which we are more likely to get an offer of $33,000 or more is determined by comparing the probabilities of receiving such an offer from each of the two companies. This probability is determined using a concept called the z-score, with which we can convert any data point into a common scale, which makes comparison easier.

1. Compute the z-scores for obtaining this salary for both companies. The z-score formula is (X - μ) / σ where X is the data point we are interested in, μ stands for the mean amount of the starting salary, and σ is the standard deviation.

   For Company A:
   z = (33000 - 27000) / 3000
   We deduct the average salary for Company A (μ = 27000) from the target salary (X = 33000) and divide it by the standard deviation (σ = 3000).

   For Company B:
   Similarly, the z score is calculated by deducting the average salary for Company B (μ = 27000) the from target salary (X = 33000) and dividing by the standard deviation (σ = 7000).

2. Now we have the z-scores for both companies. The next step is to use the z-score to calculate the probability of getting an offer of $33,000 or more from both companies. We can do this by using the cumulative distribution function (CDF) which gives us the probability that a random variable is less than or equal to a certain value. But since we want the probability that the salary is more than $33,000, we subtract the result from one (1 - CDF(z)).

3. We compare these probabilities. The company with the higher probability value will be the one from which we are more likely to get an offer of $33,000 or more.

4. Based on these calculations, you are more likely to get an offer of $33,000 or more from Company B.

A baseball team plays in a stadium that holds 56000 spectators. With the ticket price at $11 the average attendence has been 21000. When the price dropped to $9, the average attendence rose to 28000. Assume that attendence is linearly related to ticket price.

(a) Find the demand function, assuming that it is linear.

(b) How should ticket prices be set to maximize revenue?

Answers

Answer:

(a) [tex]p(x) = 17-\frac{x}{3,500}[/tex]

(b) $8.50

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The slope of the demand function, p(x), is determined by:

[tex]m=\frac{11-9}{21,000-28,000}=-\frac{1}{3,500 }[/tex]

Applying the point (21,000; 11) to the general linear equation formula gives us the demand function:

[tex]p(x) - 11 = -\frac{1}{3,500}*(x-21,000)\\p(x) = 17-\frac{x}{3,500}[/tex]

(b) The revenue function, r(x), is given by:

[tex]r(x) =x*p(x) = 17x-\frac{x^2}{3,500}[/tex]

The value of x for which the derivate of the revenue function is zero gives us the attendance for which revenue is maximized:

[tex]\frac{dr(x)}{dx} =0= 17-\frac{2x}{3,500}\\x=29,750[/tex]

At an attendance of 29,750, the price is:

[tex]p = 17-\frac{29,750}{3,500}\\p=\$8.50[/tex]

Tickets should be set at a price of $8.50.

Final answer:

The demand function for the baseball team can be found using the given data points. The revenue function can be derived using the demand function, and its maximum can be determined by finding the critical points. The ticket price should be set at $8.50 to maximize revenue for the baseball team.

Explanation:

(a) To find the demand function, we can use the point-slope form of a linear equation. Let's denote the ticket price as p and the attendance as a. We have two data points: (11, 21000) and (9, 28000). We can use the formula: a - a1 = m(p - p1) where (p1, a1) represents one of the given data points and m represents the slope. Let's use the first data point:

21000 - 28000 = m(11 - 9)

-7000 = 2m

m = -3500

So, the demand function is: a(p) = -3500p + b. To find the constant term b, we can substitute one of the data points into the equation. Let's use the first data point (11, 21000):

21000 = -3500(11) + b

21000 = -38500 + b

b = 59500

Therefore, the demand function is: a(p) = -3500p + 59500.

(b) Revenue is the product of the ticket price and the attendance. Let's denote the revenue as R and the ticket price as p. The revenue function can be written as: R(p) = p * a(p). Substituting the demand function into the revenue function, we have: R(p) = p * (-3500p + 59500). To maximize revenue, we can find the critical points of the function by taking the derivative and setting it equal to zero.

R'(p) = -7000p + 59500 = 0

-7000p = -59500

p = 8.5

The critical point is p = 8.5. To confirm that this gives a maximum, we can take the second derivative and check its sign.

R''(p) = -7000

Since the second derivative is negative, the critical point p = 8.5 corresponds to the maximum revenue. Therefore, the ticket price should be set at $8.50 to maximize revenue.

A real estate agent has 14 properties that she shows. She feels that there is a 50% chance of selling any one property during a week. The chance of selling any one property is independent of selling another property. Compute the probability of selling more than 4 properties in one week.

Answers

Final answer:

To find the probability of selling more than 4 properties in one week, use the binomial probability formula for each number of sales above 4 and sum them, or subtract the sum of probabilities of 4 or fewer sales from 1.

Explanation:

To compute the probability of selling more than 4 properties in one week, given that the chance of selling any one property is 50% and is independent of selling another property, we can use the binomial probability formula. In our scenario, we have a total of 14 properties, and the random variable X represents the number of properties sold in a week.

The binomial probability formula is:

P(X = k) = (n choose k) * p^k * (1-p)^(n-k)

Where:

n is the number of trials (in this case, 14 properties)k represents the number of successes (properties sold)p is the probability of success on any given trial (50% or 0.5)

However, instead of calculating the probability of selling exactly k properties, we are interested in selling more than 4 properties. This means we need to calculate the probabilities for selling 5, 6, ..., up to 14 properties and sum them up. Alternately, we can calculate 1 minus the probability of selling 4 or fewer properties to save time, since the probabilities must sum to 1.

The weight of a certain type of brick has an expectation of 1.12 kilograms with a variance of 0.0009 kilograms2. How many bricks would need to be selected so that the average weight has a standard deviation of no more than 0.005 kilograms

Answers

Answer:

[tex]n \geq 36[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know the mean and the deviation:

[tex] \mu = 1.12 kg , \sigma= 0.0009[/tex]

The mean is given by this:

[tex] \bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}[/tex]

If we find the expected value for the sample mean we have:

[tex] E(\bar X) = E(\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}) =\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n E(X_i)[/tex]

Since each observation in the sample [tex] X_1, X_2,...., X_{25}[/tex] have an expectation [tex] E(X_i) = \mu , i =1,2,...,25[/tex] so then we have that:

[tex] E(\bar X) = \frac{1}{n} n\mu = \mu[/tex]

Now for the variance of the sample mean we have this:

[tex]Var (\bar X) = Var(\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n})= \frac{1}{n^2} \sum_{i=1}^n Var(X_i)[/tex]

And again each observation have a variance [tex] \sigma^2_i = 0.0009 , i =1,2,...,25[/tex] then we have:

[tex]Var (\bar X) =\frac{1}{n^2} n(\sigma^2) =\frac{\sigma^2}{n}[/tex]

And then the standard deviation would be:

[tex] Sd(\bar X) =\sqrt{\frac{\sigma^2}{n}}= \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

And we want that the standard deviation for the sample no more than 0.005 so we have this condition:

[tex]\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} \leq 0.005[/tex]

And since we know the value of [tex] \sigma= \sqrt{0.0009}=0.03[/tex] we can solve for the value of n like this:

[tex] \frac{0.03}{0.005} \leq \sqrt{n}[/tex]

[tex] 6 \leq \sqrt{n}[/tex]

And if we square both sides we got:

[tex] n\geq 36[/tex]

Final answer:

To achieve an average weight standard deviation of no more than 0.005 kilograms for a certain type of brick with a variance of 0.0009 kilograms², 36 bricks need to be selected.

Explanation:

The question concerns the calculation of the number of bricks needed so that the average weight of these bricks has a standard deviation of no more than 0.005 kilograms. Given that the weight of a certain type of brick has an expectation (mean) of 1.12 kilograms and a variance of 0.0009 kilograms2, the first step is to understand that the variance of the average weight of n bricks is equal to the variance of a single brick divided by n.

To achieve a standard deviation of the average weight of no more than 0.005 kilograms, we use the formula for the standard deviation of the mean, which is √(variance/n). The variance given is 0.0009 kilograms2. Setting the equation √(0.0009/n) <= 0.005 and solving for n gives:

0.0009/n = 0.0052

0.0009/n = 0.000025

n = 0.0009 / 0.000025 = 36

Therefore, to ensure the standard deviation of the average weight is no more than 0.005 kilograms, 36 bricks would need to be selected.

Step-by-step explanation:

A house hunter on Long Island estimates that 20% of the available houses in her price range are in acceptable condition. Furthermore, she has time to look at only one house each week. What is the probability that she will find an acceptable house in the first two weeks that she looks (round off to second decimal place)?

Answers

Answer:

36% probability that she will find an acceptable house in the first two weeks that she looks.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each house, there is a 20% probability of it being acceptable. And a 100-20 = 80% of not being acceptable

What is the probability that she will find an acceptable house in the first two weeks that she looks (round off to second decimal place)?

She only looks one house a week.

So this is the same as the probability of taking two or less weeks to find a house.

The are two outcomes

Finding an acceptable house in the first week, with 20% probability

Not finding an acceptable house in the first week, with 80% probability, and then finding an acceptable house in the second week, with 20% probability.

Probability:

[tex]P = 0.2 + 0.8*0.2 = 0.36[/tex]

36% probability that she will find an acceptable house in the first two weeks that she looks.

The correct answer is 0.36 or 36%.

To solve this problem, we need to calculate the probability that the house hunter does not find an acceptable house in the first two weeks and then subtract this probability from 1 to find the probability that she does find an acceptable house within that time frame.

 Let's denote the probability of finding an acceptable house in a given week as[tex]\( p \)[/tex] and the probability of not finding an acceptable house in a given week as [tex]\( q \)[/tex]. Since 20% of the houses are in acceptable condition, [tex]\( p = 0.20 \) and \( q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.20 = 0.80 \).[/tex]

The probability that the house hunter does not find an acceptable house in the first week is[tex]\( q \).[/tex] The probability that she does not find an acceptable house in the first two weeks is the product of the probabilities that she does not find one in each of the two weeks separately, which is [tex]\( q \times q \) or \( q^2 \).[/tex]

Now, we calculate [tex]\( q^2 \):[/tex]

[tex]\[ q^2 = (0.80)^2 = 0.64 \][/tex]

This is the probability that she will not find an acceptable house in the first two weeks. To find the probability that she will find an acceptable house in the first two weeks, we subtract this value from 1:

[tex]\[ \text{Probability of finding an acceptable house in two weeks} = 1 - q^2 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \text{Probability of finding an acceptable house in two weeks} = 1 - 0.64 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \text{Probability of finding an acceptable house in two weeks} = 0.36 \][/tex]

Answers

Answer:

x  =  7

y  =  3

z (max)  =  4950/3  =  1650

Step-by-step explanation:

Let call  

x numbers of church goup and

y numbers of Union Local

Then  

First contraint

2*x + 2*y ≤ 20

Second one

1*x + 3*y ≤ 16

Objective Function

z = 150*x + 200*y

Then the system is

z = 150*x + 200*y To maximize

Subject to:

2*x + 2*y ≤ 20

1*x + 3*y ≤ 16

x ≥ 0 y ≥ 0

We will solve by using the Simplex method

z - 150 *x - 200*y = 0

2*x + 2*y + s₁ = 20  

1*x + 3*y + 0s₁ + s₂ = 16

0          1          3          0            1      =     16

First iteration:

Column pivot   ( y column ) row pivot (third row) pivot 3

Second table

1       -250/3           0          0         200/3    =    3200/3

0      - 4/3               0          -1           2/3       =    -20/3

0         1/3               1            0           1/3       =    -20/3

Second iteration:

Column pivot  ( x column ) row pivot  (second row)  pivot  -4/3

Third table

0            0                1         -1/4          1/2     =  9/3

Final answer:

Donna should contact four church groups and four labor unions to maximize her fundraising, which would yield $1400. The maximum money she could 'lose' (or not earn) is $0 if she does not contact any group.

Explanation:

We need to set up linear inequalities to represent the constraints described by Donna's situation. We will let x represent the number of church groups and y represent the number of labor unions she contacts.

The time required for letter writing can be described by the inequality: 2x + 2y <= 20, and the time for follow-ups is x + 3y <= 16.

We want to maximize the sum z = 150x + 200y which represents the total money she can raise.

To find the maximum, one method is to graph the feasible region defined by the constraints and find the vertices. Then evaluate the objective function at the vertices. In this case, the vertices are (0,0), (0,5), (8,0) and (4,4).

Upon calculation, contacting four church groups and four labor unions yields the highest amount of $1400.

As for the loss, given the nature of the task, the most money she could 'lose' in a month is just not raising any money at all, which would be $0 if she doesn't contact any group.

Use the method of cylindrical shells to find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the curves x=4y2−y3 and x=0 about the x-axis.

Answers

Answer = 321.7

Explanation:

radius = y

height = [tex]4y^{2} - y^{3}[/tex]

area of cylinder = 2π*r*h

Integrate the area to calculate the volume:

[tex]= \int\limits^0_4 {2\pi(4y^{3} -y^{4}) } \, dy[/tex]

[tex]= 2\pi (\int\limits^0_4 {4y^{3}dy -\int\limits^0_4 y^{4} dy )} \,[/tex]

[tex]= 2\pi (256-\frac{1024}{5} )[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{512\pi }{5}[/tex]

[tex]= 321.7[/tex]

Final answer:

To compute the volume of the solid formed by rotating the region bounded by the curves x = 4y² − y³ and x = 0 around the x-axis, utilize the cylindrical shells method with the relevant volume formula for cylindrical shells and integrate over the intersecting interval of y-values.

Explanation:

Finding the Volume of a Solid of Revolution

To find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the curves x = 4y2 − y3 and x = 0 about the x-axis using the method of cylindrical shells, we follow these steps:

Identify the range of y-values where the two curves intersect, which will give the limits of integration.Write down the formula for the volume of a cylindrical shell: dV = 2πry • dx, where r is the radius (function of y), and dx is the shell's thickness.Insert the given function into the formula to represent r as the function 4y2 − y3 and integrate with respect to y over the interval from step 1.

The relevant formulas for the volume and surface area of a sphere are (4/3)πr3 and 4πr2, respectively. It's important to note that the volume depends on the cube of the radius R3, while the surface area is a function of the square of the radius R2.

60% of all vehicles examined at a certain emissions inspection station pass the inspection. Assuming that successive vehicles pass or fail independently of one another, calculate the probability that at least one of the next three vehicles fail. (Give your answer as a decimal number with 3 digits of precision.)

Answers

Answer:

60%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage does not change.

Probability at least one of next 3 vehicles fail inspection: approximately 0.784 (to 3 decimal places).

To find the probability that at least one of the next three vehicles fail, we can calculate the probability of the complementary event, i.e., the probability that all three vehicles pass, and then subtract it from 1.

Given that 60% of vehicles pass the inspection, the probability that one vehicle fails the inspection is 1 - 0.60 = 0.40.

Since the vehicles pass or fail independently, the probability that all three vehicles pass is:

[tex]\[0.60 \times 0.60 \times 0.60 = 0.216\][/tex]

Now, the probability that at least one vehicle fails is:

[tex]\[1 - 0.216 = 0.784\][/tex]

So, the probability that at least one of the next three vehicles fail is approximately [tex]\(0.784\)[/tex] (to 3 decimal places).

If the equation of a circle is (x - 2)2 + (y - 6)2 = 4, it passes through point (5,6). True or false

Answers

Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation:

To know if the circle passes through the given point, we simply insert the coordinates of the given point (5,6) into the general equation Of the Circle. If left hand side of the equation balances with the right hand side, then the circle passed through the point.

The equation of the circle is (x-2)² + (y-6)² = 4

By inserting the given coordinates (5,6) we have.

(5-2)² + (6-6)² = 3² =9

Since the answer gotten is not 4, then the circle does not pass through the point (5,6)
