et x be a random variable representing movement (in feet per year) of such sand dunes (measured from the crest of the dune). Let us assume that x has a normal distribution with μ = 11 feet per year and σ = 2 feet per year. Under the influence of prevailing wind patterns, what is the probability of each of the following? (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) an escape dune will move a total distance of more than 90 feet in 7 years

Answers

Answer 1

Given the following which is the mean and standard deviation of the dune’s movement over one year and need to find out what the ten year mean and the standard deviation will be.

The ten-year mean is ten times the one year mean or 110 feet per decade. The ten-year standard deviation is somewhat more complicated. Multiple independent trials accumulate standard deviation as the square root of the number of trials since an unusually high level of movement ten years in a row. The decade is going to be 2 feet per year x square root of ten will result to 6.32 feet.

The answer will to question A. will be:

 

  90           < 110 + z (6.32 feet)

 -20           < z (6.32 feet)

    z            > - 3.16

By using the z table, it shows the probability of 0.9992. This result shows that as 90 feet is lesser than the mean travel that is expected over decade. 

Answer 2
Final answer:

To find the probability that a sand dune moves more than 90 feet in 7 years, one must calculate a z-score using the mean annual movement, standard deviation, and the 7-year period, then find the corresponding probability in a standard normal distribution table or calculator.

Explanation:

The question involves calculating the probability that a random variable, X, will exceed a certain value over a period using the normal distribution. The random variable X in this context represents the movement of sand dunes per year, which is assumed to be normally distributed with mean (μ) of 11 feet per year and a standard deviation (σ) of 2 feet per year.

To find the probability of the dune moving more than 90 feet in 7 years, we first calculate the mean movement for 7 years, which is 7 × μ = 7 × 11 feet = 77 feet. Next, we calculate how much more than 77 feet does 90 feet represent. This difference is 90 - 77 = 13 feet. Then, we standardize this difference by dividing by the standard deviation over the square root of 7 years to get the z-score:

Z = (90 - 7×11) / (σ × √7) = (90 - 77) / (2 × √7) = 13 / (2 × √7)

The z-score helps us find the probability that X is more than the calculated mean for 7 years. We look up this z-score in the standard normal distribution table or use a calculator to find the probability that corresponds to this z-score. This gives us the probability that a dune will move more than 90 feet in 7 years. The answer should be rounded to four decimal places as per the instruction in the question.

A number line contains points Q, R, S, and T. Point Q is on the coordinate 24, R is on the coordinate 28, S is on the coordinate 29, T is on the coordinate 42. Find the probability that a point chosen at random on QT is on ST. Express your answer as a percent.

25%
42.2%
50%
72.2%

Answers

This probability is going to be the length of segment ST divided by the length of QT so

P(ST)=(42-29)/(42-24)

P(ST)=13/18

As a percentage:

(p/100)=(13/18)

p=1300/18%

p=650/9%

p≈72.2%  (to nearest tenth of a percent)

Answer:

The correct option is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Point Q is on the coordinate 24, R is on the coordinate 28, S is on the coordinate 29, T is on the coordinate 42.

Total numbers lie on line QT is

[tex]42-24=18[/tex]

The numbers lie on line ST is

[tex]42-29=13[/tex]

The probability that a point chosen at random on QT is on ST is

[tex]P=\frac{\text{The numbers lie on line ST}}{\text{Total numbers lie on line QT}}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]P=\frac{13}{18}}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]P=72.222\approx 72.2\%[/tex]

The probability that a point chosen at random on QT is on ST is 72.2%. Therefore option 4 is correct.

Answers

Answer:

Obtuse triangle sets

B. 5, 13, 19

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean inequality for the sides of the triangle to be an obtuse:

[tex]a^2 + b^2 < c^2[/tex], where a, b and c are the sides of the triangle.

The other Pythagorean inequalities are:

[tex]a^2 + b^2 > c^2[/tex], for Acute triangle

[tex]a^2 + b^2 = c^2[/tex], for Right triangle

Now let's check which set of the given sets satisfy the above inequality.

Option A

4, 5, 6

Here a = 4, b = 5 and c = 6

[tex]4^2 + 5^2 < 6^2\\16 + 25 < 36\\41 < 36\\[/tex]

Which is not true.

Here [tex]a^2 + b^2 > c^2[/tex], So this is Acute triangle

Option B

5, 13, 19

Here a = 5, b = 13 and c = 19

[tex]5^2 + 13^2 < 19^2\\25 + 169 < 361\\194 < 361\\[/tex]

Which is true. This is Obtuse triangle

Option C

Here a = 12, b = 14 and c = 25

[tex]12^2 + 14^2 < 25^2\\144 + 196 < 625\\340 < 625\\[/tex]

Which is true. This is obtuse triangle.

Option D

Here a = 21, b = 72 and c = 75

[tex]21^2 + 72^2 < 75^2\\441 + 5184 < 5625\\5625 < 5625\\[/tex]

A window has the shape of a rectangle with a semi circle at the top. Find the approximate area of the window using the dimensions shown.

2ft by 4ft

Answers

First, let's find the area of the semi-circle.
Area of a circle = π*r²
Looking at the rectangle, the diameter for the circle is 2 ft. Since we need the radius though, divide the diameter by 2 to get the radius.
r = 1
A = π * 1²
A = π * 1
A = π

But since it's a semicircle, you need to divide that area by 2.
3.14/2 = 1.57

The area of the semi-circle is 1.57.

Area of a rectangle = lw
l = 2
w = 4
A = 2 * 4
A = 8

The area of the rectangle is 8.

Now add those together to get the area of the entire figure.

1.57 + 8 = 9.57

The figure is about 9.57 square feet.

The approximate area of the window is 9.57 ft²

The figure is a composite shape. Therefore, the area can be described as follows:

Area of the composite shape:area = area of semi circle + rectangle

area of a rectangle = lw = 4 × 2 = 8 ft²

area of the semi circle = 1 / 2 πr² = 1 / 2 × π × 1² = 1.57 ft²

Therefore,

area of the window = 8 + 1.57 = 9.57 ft²
