x = -2.95 is the zero of the function.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the function:
[tex]f(x) = 1.5x + 3(x-3) + 5.5(x+7)[/tex]
We have to find the zero of the function.
Zero of function:
It is the value where the function have a value zero.[tex](a,0)[/tex] such that [tex]f(a) = 0[/tex]We can find zero of the function in the following manner:
[tex]f(x) = 1.5x + 3(x-3) + 5.5(x+7) = 0\\1.5x + 3x -9 + 5.5x + 38.5 = 0\\(1.5x + 3x + 5.5x) + (38.5-9) = 0\\10x + 29.5 = 0\\10x = -29.5\\x = -2.95[/tex]
Thus, x = -2.95 is the zero of the function.

We can model this as an arithmetic series, where the first term is 1 and the common difference is 1. The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic series is:
S = n/2 (2a₁ + d (n − 1))
Given that a₁ = 1 and d = 1:
S = n/2 (2(1) + n − 1)
S = n/2 (n + 1)
Since S ≤ 60:
n/2 (n + 1) ≤ 60
n (n + 1) ≤ 120
n must be an integer, so from trial and error:
n ≤ 10
Mr. Tong should use 10 tiles in the final row to use the most tiles possible.
A fire company keeps two rescue vehicles. Because of the demand on the vehicles and the chance of mechanical failure, the probability that a specific vehicle is available when needed is 90%. The availability of one vehicle is independent of the availability of the other. Find the probability that (a) both vehicles are available at a given time, (b) neither vehicle is available at a given time, and (c) at least one vehicle is available at a given time.
Answer:
(a) P (Both vehicles are available at a given time) = 0.81
(b) P (Neither vehicles are available at a given time) = 0.01
(c) P (At least one vehicle is available at a given time) = 0.99
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A = Vehicle 1 is available when needed and B = Vehicle 2 is available when needed.
Given:
The availability of one vehicle is independent of the availability of the other, i.e. P (A ∩ B) = P (A) × P (B)
P (A) = P (B) = 0.90
(a)
Compute the probability that both vehicles are available at a given time as follows:
P (Both vehicles are available) = P (Vehicle 1 is available) ×
P (Vehicle 2 is available)
[tex]P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B)[/tex]
[tex]=0.90\times0.90\\=0.81[/tex]
Thus, the probability that both vehicles are available at a given time is 0.81.
(b)
Compute the probability that neither vehicles are available at a given time as follows:
P (Neither vehicles are available) = [1 - P (Vehicle 1 is available)] ×
[1 - P (Vehicle 2 is available)]
[tex]P(A^{c}\cap B^{c})=[1-P(A)]\times [1-P(B)]\\[/tex]
[tex]=(1-0.90)\times (1-0.90)\\=0.10\times0.10\\=0.01[/tex]
Thus, the probability that neither vehicles are available at a given time is 0.01.
(c)
Compute the probability that at least one vehicle is available at a given time as follows:
P (At least one vehicle is available) = 1 - P (None of the vehicles are available)
[tex]=1-[P(A^{c})\times P(B^{c})]\\=1-0.01.....(from\ part\ (b))\\ =0.99[/tex]
Thus, the probability that at least one vehicle is available at a given time is 0.99.
7. Martin sells cars. He earns $100 per day, plus
any commission on his sales. His daily salary s in
dollars depends on the amount of commission c.
Write an equation to represent his daily salary.
Answer:the equation representing his daily salary is
s = 100 + c
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s represent the Salary that Martins earns per day.
Let c represent the commission that Martins earns on his sales on that day.
He earns $100 per day, plus
any commission on his sales. Since
his daily salary in dollars depends on the amount of commission, then an equation to represent his daily salary would be
s = 100 + c
Suppose two events A and B are two independent events with P(A) > P(B) and P(A ∪ B) = 0.626 and P(A ∩ B) = 0.144, determine the values of P(A) and P(B).
Answer:
P(A)= 0.606 and P(B)= 0.237
Step-by-step explanation:
Since A and B are independent
P(A ∩ B) = P(A) * P(B) → P(B) = P(A ∩ B) / P(A)
and also
P(A ∪ B)= P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)
P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(A ∩ B) / P(A) - P(A ∩ B)
[P(A ∪ B) + P(A ∩ B) ]* P(A) = P(A)² + P(A ∩ B)
P(A)² - [P(A ∪ B) + P(A ∩ B) ]* P(A) + P(A ∩ B) = 0
P(A)² - [ 0.626+0.144] * P(A) + 0.144 =0
P(A)² - 0.77* P(A) + 0.144 =0
thus
P(A)₁= 0.606 or P(A)₂= 0.1647
for P(A)₁→ P(B)₁ = P(A ∩ B) / P(A)₁ = 0.144/0.606 = 0.237
thus P(A)₁ > P(B)₁ → correct
for P(A)₂→ P(B)₂ = P(A ∩ B) / P(A)₂ = 0.144/0.1647= 0.8743
thus P(A)₂ < P(B)₂ → incorrect
therefore
P(A)= 0.606 and P(B)= 0.237
Suppose that the probability of a defective part is 0.03. Suppose that you have a shipment of 1000 parts. What is the probability that more than 10 parts will be defective? Answer to at least five decimal places. You may find it easier to use excel than to use a calculator for this one.
Answer:
The probability that more than 10 parts will be defective is 0.99989.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X = a part in the shipment is defective.
The probability of a defective part is, P (Defect) = p = 0.03.
The size of the sample is: n = 1000.
Thus, the random variable [tex]X\sim Bin(1000, 0.03)[/tex].
But the sample size is very large.
The binomial distribution can be approximated by the Normal distribution if the following conditions are satisfied:
np ≥ 10n (1 - p) ≥ 10Check the conditions:
[tex]np=1000\times0.03=30>10\\n(1-p)=1000\times(1-0.03)=970>10[/tex]
Thus, the binomial distribution can be approximated by the Normal distribution.
The sample proportion (p) follows a normal distribution.
Mean: [tex]\mu_{p}=0.03[/tex]
Standard deviation: [tex]\sigma_{p}=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} } =\sqrt{\frac{0.03(1-0.03)}{1000} } =0.0054[/tex]
Compute the probability that there will be more than 10 defective parts in this shipment as follows:
The proportion of 10 defectives in 1000 parts is: [tex]p=\frac{10}{1000}=0.01[/tex]
The probability is:
[tex]P(p>0.01)=P(\frac{p-\mu_{p}}{\sigma_{p}}> \frac{0.01-0.03}{0.0054}) =P(Z>-3.704)=P(Z<3.704)[/tex]
Use the standard normal table for the probability.
[tex]P(p>0.01)=P(Z<3.704)=0.99989[/tex]
Thus, the probability that more than 10 parts will be defective is 0.99989.
The Bradley family owns 410 acres of farmland in North Carolina on which they grow corn and tobacco. Each acre of corn costs $105 to plant, cultivate, and harvest; each acre of tobacco costs $210. The Bradleys have a budget of $52,500 for next year. The government limits the number of acres of tobacco that can be planted to 100. The profit from each acre of corn is $300; the profit from each acre of tobacco is $520. The Bradleys want to know how many acres of each crop to plant to maximize their profit. Formulate a linear programming model for this problem.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First let's identify decision variables:
X1 - acres of corn
X2 - acres of tobacco
Bradley needs to maximize the profit, MAX = 300X1 + 520X2
The Bradley family owns 410 acres, X1+X2≤410
Each acre of corn costs $105, each acre of tobacco costs $210
The Bradleys have a budget of $52,500
So 105X1 +210X2≤52,500
There is a restriction on planting the tobacco - 100acres
X2≤100
Also, since outcomes can be only positive, X1X2 ≥0
So, what we have:
MAX = 300X1 + 520X2
X1+X2≤410
105X1 +210X2≤52,500
X2≤100
X1X2 ≥0
To maximize profit, the Bradleys can formulate a linear programming model based on the costs and profits of each crop, subject to budget and government constraints.
Explanation:Linear programming model formulation:
Let x be the number of acres of corn and y be the number of acres of tobacco to be planted.Maximize profit: $300x + $520ySubject to constraints: $105x + $210y ≤ $52,500, y ≤ 100, x,y ≥ 0Roll two dice, one white and one red. Consider these events: A : The sum is 7 B : The white die is odd C : The red die has a larger number showing than the white D : The dice match (doubles) Which pair(s) of events are disjoint (events A and B are disjoint if A ∩ B = ∅ )? Which pair(s) are independent? Which pair(s) are neither disjoint nor independent?
Final answer:
Events B and D are disjoint; events B and C, A and C, B and D are independent; events A and B, A and C, and B and D are neither disjoint nor independent.
Explanation:
The pairs of events that are disjoint (have no intersection) are:
Events B and D are disjoint because if the white die is odd (event B), then it cannot match with the red die (event D).
Events A and D are disjoint because if the sum of the dice is 7 (event A), then the dice cannot match (event D).
The pairs of events that are independent are:
Events B and C are independent because the outcome of one die does not affect the outcome of the other die.
Events A and C are independent for the same reason.
The pairs of events that are neither disjoint nor independent are:
Events A and B are neither disjoint nor independent. If the white die is odd (event B), it is still possible for the sum of the dice to be 7 (event A).
Events A and C are also neither disjoint nor independent. If the sum of the dice is 7 (event A), it is still possible for the red die to have a larger number showing than the white die (event C).
Events B and D are neither disjoint nor independent. If the white die is odd (event B), it is still possible for the dice to match (event D).
An important tool in archeological research is radiocarbon dating, developed by the American chemist Willard F. Libby.3 This is a means of determining the age of certain wood and plant remains, and hence of animal or human bones or artifacts found buried at the same levels. Radiocarbon dating is based on the fact that some wood or plant remains contain residual amounts of carbon-14, a radioactive isotope of carbon. This isotope is accumulated during the lifetime of the plant and begins to decay at its death. Since the half-life of carbon-14 is long (approximately 5730 years),4 measurable amounts of carbon-14 remain after many thousands of years. If even a tiny fraction of the original amount of carbon-14 is still present, then by appropriate laboratory measurements the proportion of the original amount of carbon-14 that remains can be accurately determined. In other words, if Q(t) is the amount of carbon-14 at time t and Q0 is the original amount, then the ratio Q(t)/Q0 can be determined, as long as this quantity is not too small. Present measurement techniques permit the use of this method for time periods of 50,000 years or more.
(a) Assuming that Q satisfies the differential equation Q' = -rQ, determine the decay constant r for carbon-14. (b) Find an expression for Q(t) at any time t, if Q(0) = Qo. (c) Suppose that certain remains are discovered in which the current residual amount of carbon-14 is 20% of the original amount. Determine the age of these remains.
Answer:
a) r = (In 2)/(t1/2) = (In 2)/5730 = 0.000121/year
b) Q(t) = Q₀ (e^-rt)
c) Are of the 20% remnant of Carbon-14 = 13301.14 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Q' = -rQ
Q' = dQ/dt
dQ/dt = -rQ
dQ/Q = -rdt
Integrating the left hand side from Q₀ to Q₀/2 and the right hand side from 0 to t1/2 (half life, t1/2 = 5730 years)
In ((Q₀/2)/Q₀) = -r(t1/2)
In (1/2) = -r(t1/2)
In 2 = r(t1/2)
r = (In 2)/(t1/2) = (In 2)/5730 = 0.000121 /year
b) Q' = -rQ
Q' = dQ/dt
dQ/dt = -rQ
dQ/Q = -rdt
Integrating the left hand side from Q₀ to Q(t) and the right hand side from 0 to t.
In (Q(t)/Q₀) = -rt
Q(t)/Q₀ = e^(-rt)
Q(t) = Q₀ (e^-rt)
c) Q(t) = Q₀ (e^-rt)
Q(t) = 0.2Q₀, t = ? and r = 0.000121/year
0.2Q₀ = Q₀ (e^-rt)
0.2 = e^-rt
In 0.2 = -rt
-1.6094 = - 0.000121 × t
t = 1.6094/0.000121 = 13301.14 years.
Hope this Helps!

Let X = the distance people are willing to commute in miles. What is m, μ, and σ? What is the probability that a person is willing to commute more than 25 miles?
Answer:
m = [tex]\frac{1}{20}[/tex] μ = 20σ = 20The probability that a person is willing to commute more than 25 miles is 0.2865.
Step-by-step explanation:
Exponential probability distribution is used to define the probability distribution of the amount of time until some specific event takes place.
A random variable X follows an exponential distribution with parameter m.
The decay parameter is, m.
The probability distribution function of an Exponential distribution is:
[tex]f(x)=me^{-mx}\ ;\ m>0, x>0[/tex]
Given: The decay parameter is, [tex]\frac{1}{20}[/tex]
X is defined as the distance people are willing to commute in miles.
The decay parameter is m = [tex]\frac{1}{20}[/tex]. The mean of the distribution is: [tex]\mu=\frac{1}{m}=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{20}}=20[/tex]. The standard deviation is: [tex]\sigma=\sqrt{variance}= \sqrt{\frac{1}{(m)^{2}} } =\frac{1}{m} =\frac{1}{\frac{1}{20}} =20[/tex]Compute the probability that a person is willing to commute more than 25 miles as follows:

Answer:
The diameter was [tex]d=\frac{45}{\pi }[/tex] in.
Step-by-step explanation:
The arc of a circle is given by
[tex]s=r\theta[/tex]
where
s = arc length
r = radius of the circle
θ = measure of the central angle in radians.
From the information given
s = 4 in
θ = 32º
To find the diameter of the original pizza, we use the formula of the diameter of a circle
[tex]d=2r[/tex]
First, we need to convert the angle to radians
[tex]\theta=32\º \cdot \frac{\pi}{180\º} =\frac{8\pi }{45}[/tex]
Next, solve for r from the arc formula
[tex]r=\frac{s}{\theta} =\frac{4}{\frac{8\pi }{45}} =\frac{45}{2\pi }[/tex]
Then, we use the diameter of a circle formula
[tex]d=2r=2(\frac{45}{2\pi })=\frac{45}{\pi }[/tex]

Estimate the minimum and maximum ages for typical textbooks currently used in college courses, then use the range rule of thumb to estimate the standard deviation.

Answer:

Estimate the minimum and maximum ages for typical textbooks currently used in college courses, then use the range rule of thumb to estimate the standard deviation. Next, find the size of the sample required to estimate the mean age (in years) of textbooks currently used in college courses. Use a 90% confidence level and assume that the sample mean will be in error by no more than 0.25 year."
Solution for the problem
First we need ti find the estimation for the standard deviation using the Rule of thumb, with the following formula:
[tex] s \approx \frac{R}{4}[/tex]
Where R is the range defined as :
[tex] R = Max - Min = 8-0 = 8[/tex]
So then the deviation would be approximately:
[tex] s \approx 4[/tex]
Important concepts
A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".
The margin of error (ME) is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.
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 margin of error is given by this formula:
[tex] ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex] (1)
And on this case we have that [tex]ME =\pm 0.25[/tex] and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (1) we got:
[tex]n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2[/tex] (2)
We can assume that the estimator for the population deviation from the rule of thumb is [tex]\hat \sigma = s= 4[/tex]
The critical value for 90% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution. And in excel we can use this formla to find it:"=-NORM.INV(0.05;0;1)", and we got [tex]z_{\alpha/2}=1.64[/tex], replacing into formula (2) we got:
[tex]n=(\frac{1.64(4)}{0.25})^2 =688.537 \approx 689[/tex]
So the answer for this case would be n=689 rounded up to the nearest integer
To estimate textbook ages, an assumed range of 1 to 20 years might give an estimated standard deviation of 4.75 years. Using the formula for sample size, about 275 textbooks would need to be sampled to estimate the mean age to within 0.25 years with 90% confidence.
Explanation:To estimate the minimum and maximum ages for typical textbooks currently used in college courses, we need more specific information. However, if we assume a range of 1 to 20 years, this would give us a range of 19 years. We can use the range rule of thumb for estimating the standard deviation, which is the range divided by 4. So the estimated standard deviation of the textbook ages is 19 / 4 = 4.75 years.
To find the required sample size to estimate the mean age of textbooks, we use the equation n = (Z*σ/E)^2 where Z is the z-score corresponding to the desired confidence level, σ is the standard deviation, and E is the maximum tolerable error. For a 90% confidence level, the z-score is 1.645. Thus with σ = 4.75 and E = 0.25. Filling these values into our equation we get: n = (1.645*4.75/0.25)^2 = 274.68. Rounded up, we need a sample of size 275 textbooks to estimate the mean age to within 0.25 years with 90% confidence.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for finding the sum of the measure of the interior angles in a regular polygon is expressed as (n - 2) × 180.
Where
n represents the number of sides of the polygon.
5a) The polygon has 11 sides. Therefore, sum of angles is
(11 - 2) × 180 = 1620
The measure of each angle is
1620/11 = 148.3°
b) n = 24
Therefore, sum of angles is
(24 - 2) × 180 = 3960
The measure of each angle is
3960/24 = 165°
5a) n = 7
Therefore, sum of angles is
(7 - 2) × 180 = 900
The measure of each angle is
900/7 = 128.6°
5b) n = 10
Therefore, sum of angles is
(10 - 2) × 180 = 1440
The measure of each angle is

Then if we say that the premise is true, then u4 is not a linear combination of {u1,u2,u3}, this means there do not exist [tex]\alpha_1, \alpha_2, \alpha_3 \in \mathcal{R}[/tex] not all zero, such that, [tex]\alpha_1\cdot u_1+ \alpha_2\cdot u_2+ \alpha_3\cdot u_3=u_4[/tex] which is equivalent to say that for every [tex]\alpha_1, \alpha_2, \alpha_3,\alpha_4 \in \mathcal{R}[/tex] with
[tex]\alpha_1\cdot u_1 + \alpha_2\cdot u_2+ \alpha_3\cdot u_3+ \alpha_4\cdot u_4 = \textbf{0}[/tex] implies [tex]\alpha_1= \alpha_2= \alpha_3= \alpha_4=0[/tex], then the given set is linearly independent as by definition and just as it is stated in the conclusion, therefore the affirmation is true.

What is the standard deviation of a random variable q with the following probability distribution? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in numbers not in percentage. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.) Value of q Probability 0 0.25 1 0.25 2 0.50
Answer:
The standard deviation of given probability distribution is 0.8292
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
q: 0 1 2
Probability: 0.25 0.25 0.50
Formula:
[tex]E(q) = \displaystyle\sum q_ip(q_i)\\=0(0.25) + 1(0.25) + 2(0.50) = 1.25[/tex]
[tex]E(q^2)= \displaystyle\sum q_i^2p(q_i)\\=0^2(0.25) + 1^2(0.25) + 2^2(0.50) = 2.25[/tex]
Variance =
[tex]\sigma^2 = E(q^2) = (E(q))^2\\= 2.25- (1.25)^2\\=0.6875\\\sigma = \sqrt{0.6875} = 0.8292[/tex]
Thus, the standard deviation of given probability distribution is 0.8292
The standard deviation of a random variable can be calculated using the formula: √∑(xi-μ)2 ⋅ P(xi) . We find the mean (μ) by multiplying each value of q by its corresponding probability and summing them up. Next, we calculate the squared difference between each value of q and the mean, multiplied by their respective probabilities. Finally, we take the square root of this value to obtain the standard deviation.
Explanation:The standard deviation of a random variable can be calculated using the formula:
\sqrt{\sum (x_i - \mu)^2 \cdot P(x_i)}
First, we need to find the mean (μ) of the probability distribution. The mean can be calculated by multiplying each value of q by its corresponding probability and summing them up:
μ = (0 × 0.25) + (1 × 0.25) + (2 × 0.5) = 0.5
Next, we calculate the squared difference between each value of q and the mean, multiplied by their respective probabilities:
(0 - 0.5)^2 × 0.25 + (1 - 0.5)^2 × 0.25 + (2 - 0.5)^2 × 0.5 = 0.5
Finally, we take the square root of this value to obtain the standard deviation:
√0.5 ≈ 0.7071
Therefore, the standard deviation of the random variable q is approximately 0.7071.

The time between breakdowns of an alarm system is exponentially distributed with mean 10 days. What is the probability that there are no breakdowns on a given day?
Answer:
[tex] P(T>1) = e^{-\frac{1}{10}}= e^{-0.1}= 0.9048[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
The exponential distribution is "the probability distribution of the time between events in a Poisson process (a process in which events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate). It is a particular case of the gamma distribution". The probability density function is given by:
[tex]P(X=x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x}[/tex]
Solution to the problem
For this case the time between breakdowns representing our random variable T is exponentially distirbuted [tex] T \sim Exp (\mu = 10)[/tex]
So on this case we can find the value of [tex]\lambda[/tex] like this:
[tex] \lambda = \frac{1}{\mu} = \frac{1}{10}[/tex]
So then our density function would be given by:
[tex]P(T)=\lambda e^{-\frac{t}{10}}[/tex]
The exponential distribution is useful when we want to describe the waiting time between Poisson occurrences. If we assume that the random variable T represent the waiting time between two consecutive event, we can define the probability that 0 events occurs between the start and a time t, like this:
[tex]P(T>t)= e^{-\lambda t}[/tex]
And on this case we are looking for this probability:
[tex] P(T>1) = e^{-\frac{1}{10}}= e^{-0.1}= 0.9048[/tex]
In a start-up company which has 20 computers, some of the computers are infected with virus. The probability that a computer is infected with the virus is 0.4, independently of other computers. A technician tests the computers, one after another, to see if they are infected.1. What is the probability that she has to test at least 5 computers to find the first (if any) defective one?2. Find the probability that on this day at least 5 computers are infected.
Answer:
(1) The probability that the technician tests at least 5 computers before the 1st defective computer is 0.078.
(2) The probability at least 5 computers are infected is 0.949.
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability that a computer is defective is, p = 0.40.
(1)
Let X = number of computers to be tested before the 1st defect is found.
Then the random variable [tex]X\sim Geo(p)[/tex].
The probability function of a Geometric distribution for k failures before the 1st success is:
[tex]P (X = k)=(1-p)^{k}p;\ k=0, 1, 2, 3,...[/tex]
Compute the probability that the technician tests at least 5 computers before the 1st defective computer is found as follows:
P (X ≥ 5) = 1 - P (X < 5)
= 1 - [P (X = 0) + P (X = 1) + P (X = 2) + P (X = 3) + P (X = 4)]
[tex]=1 -[(1-0.40)^{0}0.40+(1-0.40)^{1}0.40+(1-0.40)^{2}0.40\\+(1-0.40)^{3}0.40+(1-0.40)^{4}0.40]\\=1-[0.40+0.24+0.144+0.0864+0.05184]\\=0.07776\\\approx0.078[/tex]
Thus, the probability that the technician tests at least 5 computers before the 1st defective computer is 0.078.
(2)
Let Y = number of computers infected.
The number of computers in the company is, n = 20.
Then the random variable [tex]Y\sim Bin(20,0.40)[/tex].
The probability function of a binomial distribution is:
[tex]P(Y=y)={n\choose y}p^{y}(1-p)^{n-y};\ y=0,1,2,...[/tex]
Compute the probability at least 5 computers are infected as follows:
P (Y ≥ 5) = 1 - P (Y < 5)
= 1 - [P (Y = 0) + P (Y = 1) + P (Y = 2) + P (Y = 3) + P (Y = 4)] [tex]=1-[{20\choose 0}(0.40)^{0}(1-0.40)^{20-0}+{20\choose 1}(0.40)^{1}(1-0.40)^{20-1}\\+{20\choose 2}(0.40)^{2}(1-0.40)^{20-2}+{20\choose 3}(0.40)^{3}(1-0.40)^{20-3}\\+{20\choose 4}(0.40)^{4}(1-0.40)^{20-4}]\\=1-[0.00004+0.00049+0.00309+0.01235+0.03499]\\=1-0.05096\\=0.94904[/tex]
Thus, the probability at least 5 computers are infected is 0.949.
A hemispherical bowl of radius a contains water to a depth h. Find the volume of the water in the bowl. b. Water runs into a sunken concrete hemispherical bowl of radius 5 m at the rate of 0.2 m cubed divided by sec. How fast is the water level in the bowl rising when the water is 4 m deep?
The water level in the bowl is rising at a rate of approximately 0.00269 meters per second when the water is 4 meters deep.
Let's address each part of the problem:
a. To find the volume of water in a hemispherical bowl of radius "a" to a depth "h," we can use the formula for the volume of a spherical cap. The volume of a spherical cap is given by:
V = (1/3)πh^2(3a - h)
In this case, "a" is the radius of the hemisphere, and "h" is the depth of the water.
So, the volume of water in the bowl is:
V = (1/3)πh^2(3a - h)
b. To find how fast the water level in the bowl is rising, we can use related rates. Let's denote the radius of the water-filled hemisphere as "R" (which is equal to "a" since it's the same hemisphere), and the depth of the water as "h."
Given that water is running into the bowl at a rate of 0.2 cubic meters per second, we can express the change in volume with respect to time:
dV/dt = 0.2 m^3/sec
We want to find dh/dt, the rate at which the water level is rising when the water is 4 meters deep.
We have the formula for the volume of water in the hemisphere from part (a):
V = (1/3)πh^2(3a - h)
Differentiate both sides of this equation with respect to time (t):
dV/dt = (1/3)π(2h)(dh/dt)(3a - h) - (1/3)πh^2(d(3a - h)/dt)
Now, plug in the values we know:
dV/dt = 0.2 m^3/sec
h = 4 m
a = 5 m
Now, solve for dh/dt:
0.2 = (1/3)π(24)(dh/dt)(35 - 4) - (1/3)π(4^2)(d(3*5 - 4)/dt)
0.2 = (8/3)π(dh/dt)(15 - 4) - (16/3)π(d(15 - 4)/dt)
0.2 = (8/3)π(11)(dh/dt) - (16/3)π(d(11)/dt)
0.2 = (88/3)π(dh/dt) - (16/3)π(0)
Now, solve for dh/dt:
(88/3)π(dh/dt) = 0.2
dh/dt = 0.2 / [(88/3)π]
Now, calculate dh/dt:
dh/dt ≈ 0.00269 meters per second

Final answer:
To find the volume of water in a hemispherical bowl, subtract the volume of the upper portion of the hemisphere from the volume of the entire hemisphere. Therefore, the volume of the water in the hemispherical bowl is (2/3)πa³ - (1/3)π(h²)(3a - h).
Explanation:
To find the volume of water in a hemispherical bowl, we need to consider the shape of the bowl. The volume of a hemisphere is given by the formula V = (2/3)πr³, where r is the radius of the hemisphere. However, we only need to find the volume of the water in the bowl, not the entire bowl. To do this, we can subtract the volume of the upper portion of the hemisphere that is not filled with water.
Let's break down the steps:
Find the volume of the entire hemisphere using the formula V = (2/3)πa³, where a is the radius of the bowl.Find the volume of the upper portion of the hemisphere using the formula V' = (1/3)π(h²)(3a - h), where h is the depth of the water in the bowl.The volume of the water in the bowl is given by V - V'.Therefore, the volume of the water in the hemispherical bowl is (2/3)πa³ - (1/3)π(h²)(3a - h).

3.20 × 105 gallons of tar (SG = 1.20) is stored in a 20.0-ft tall storage tank. What is the total mass of the liquid in the tank?
Answer:
Mass of the liquid in the tank will be [tex]1.45\times 10^8kg[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We have given volume of tar [tex]V=3.20\times 10^5gallon[/tex]
1 gallon = 3.785 liter
So [tex]3.20\times 10^5gallon=3.20\times 10^{5}\times 3.785=12.112\times 10^5liter[/tex]
Specific gravity = 1.2
Density of water [tex]=1000kg/m^3[/tex]
We know that specific gravity [tex]=\frac{density\ of\ liquid}{density\ of\ water}[/tex]
[tex]1.2=\frac{density\ of\ liquid}{density\ of\ water}[/tex]
Density of liquid [tex]=1200kg/m^3[/tex]
So mass of liquid = volume × density
= [tex]12.112\times 10^5\times 1200=1.45\times 10^8kg[/tex]
So mass of the liquid in the tank will be [tex]1.45\times 10^8kg[/tex]
A farmer caught some wild pigs to use as founders for a domestic herd. The farmer wants all of her pigs to have one distinctive color. Most of the wild pigs are brown, but she catches a few with red hair and a few with black hair. The farmer plans to breed either the black-haired or the red-haired pigs to establish a pure-breeding herd (eliminating all other colors). Black hair (B) is dominant over brown (W). Black (B) and brown (W) are dominant over red (R). If the farmer wants her whole herd to reach its new color in as few generations as possible, should she breed for red-haired pigs, or should she breed for black-haired pigs? Why?
Answer: Breed for black-haired pigs
Step-by-step explanation:
Now according to the statement, the farmer catches wild pigs and mostly are brown.
Since black hair is dominant over brown and also black and brown are dominant over red, this implies that red is the least dominant color meaning if breeding occurs, there would be less chance of getting red colored pigs.
She wants to breed either black or red haired pigs and since black is more dominant so she should breed the black ones with the brown ones or with themselves so she would eventually get pure-breeding herd i.e. of black color.
Find an equation of the line passing through the pair of points (4 comma 5 )and (7 comma 11 ). Write the equation in the form Ax plus By equals Upper C.
Answer:
the line equation is 2*x - y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
for the line equation in implicit form
A*x + B*y = C
then if the point (x=4,y=5) belong to the line
4*A + 5*B = C
and if the point (x=7,y=11) belong to the line
7*A + 11*B = C
then since we can choose C freely , we set C=1 for simplicity , then
4*A + 5*B = 1 → B= (1-4*A)/5
7*A + 11*B = 1
7*A + 11*(1-4*A)/5 = 1
7*A - 44/5*A + 11/5 = 1
-9/5*A = -6/5
A= 2/3
B= (1-4*A)/5 = (1-4*2/3)/5 = -1/3
therefore
2/3*x - 1/3*y = 1
2*x - y = 3
Newlyweds Bryce & lauren need to rent a truck to move their belongings to their new apartment. They can rent a truck of the size they need from U-Haul for $29.95 per day plus 28 cents per mile or from Budget Truck rentals for $34.95 per day plus 25 cents per mile. After how many miles (to the nearest mile) would the budget rental be a better deal than the U-Haul one?
Answer:
After 167 miles the Budget rental deal would be better than the U-haul deal
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of miles.
Considering the U-haul plan the cost can be expressed as:
[tex]u=29.95+0.28x[/tex]
Consider the Budget rental plan the cost can be expressed as:
[tex]b=34.95+0.25x[/tex]
For the Budget rental plan to be better than the U-haul plan the relation between the two cost equation will be:
[tex]b<u[/tex]
Substitute the equations of u and b and solve for x:
[tex]b<u\\34.95+0.25x<29.95+0.28x\\34.95-29.95<0.28x-0.25x\\5<0.03x\\0.03x>5\\x>166.67\approx167[/tex]
So after 167 miles the Budget rental deal would be better than the U-haul deal.
After approximately 167 miles, Budget Truck rental becomes a cheaper option than U-Haul for Bryce and Lauren's move.
Explanation:To find the point at which Budget Truck rentals becomes cheaper than U-Haul, we must set up the cost equation for each company and solve for the number of miles (m) that makes them equal. For U-Haul, the cost (C) is given by C = 29.95 + 0.28m, and for Budget it’s C = 34.95 + 0.25m.
Setting these two equations equal, we get: 29.95 + 0.28m = 34.95 + 0.25m.
We then solve for m: 0.03m = 5. Subtracting 29.95 from both sides, then dividing by 0.03 gives: m ≈ 167 miles.
So, after 167 miles, Budget Truck becomes the cheaper option.
