Answer:
0.0064 is the probability that Isaac will find his first defective can among the first 50 cans.
Step-by-step explanation:
W are given the following in the question:
Probability of defective can =
[tex]P(A) = \dfrac{1}{90}[/tex]
We have to find the probability that Isaac will find his first defective can among the first 50 cans.
Then the number of adults follows a geometric distribution, where the probability of success on each trial is p, then the probability that the kth trial (out of k trials) is the first success is
[tex]P(X=k) = (1-p)^{k-1}p[/tex]
We have to evaluate:
[tex]P(x = 50)\\= (1-\frac{1}{90})^{50-1}(\frac{1}{90})\\= 0.0064[/tex]
0.0064 is the probability that Isaac will find his first defective can among the first 50 cans.
4.47 Consider an experiment, the events A and B, and probabilities P(A) 5 0.55, P(B) 5 0.45, and P(A d B) 5 0.15. Find the probability of: a. A or B occurring. b. A and B occurring. c. Just A occurring. d. Just A or just B occurring.
Answer:
a) 0.85
b) 0.15
c) 0.40
d) 0.70
Step-by-step explanation:
P(A) = 0.55
P(B) = 0.45
P(A n B) = 0.15
a) Probability of A or B occurring = P(A u B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A n B) = 0.55 + 0.45 - 0.15 = 0.85
b) Probability of A and B occurring = P(A n B) = 0.15
c) Probability of just A occurring = P(A n B') = P(A) - P(A n B) = 0.55 - 0.15 = 0.40
d) Probability of just A or just B occurring = P(A n B') + P(A' n B) = 0.4 + (0.45 - 0.15) = 0.4 + 0.3 = 0.70
An engineer commutes daily from her suburban home to her midtown office. The average time for a one-way trip is 36 minutes, with a standard deviation of 4.9 minutes. Assume the distribution of trip times to be normally distributed. What is the probability that a trip will take at least 35 minutes
Answer:
57.93% probability that a trip will take at least 35 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are 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.
In this problem, we have that:
[tex]\mu = 36, \sigma = 4.9[/tex]
What is the probability that a trip will take at least 35 minutes
This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 35. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{35 - 36}{4.9}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.2[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.2[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.4207
1 - 0.4207 = 0.5793
57.93% probability that a trip will take at least 35 minutes.

Suppose that the number of calls coming per minute into an airline reservation center follows a Poisson distribution. Assume that the mean number of calls is 3 calls per minute. The probability that no calls are received in a given one-minute period is _______.
Answer:
0.0497 is the required probability.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following information in the question:
Mean number of calls = 3 calls per minute
The number of calls coming per minute is following a Poisson distribution.
Formula:
[tex]P(X =k) = \displaystyle\frac{\lambda^k e^{-\lambda}}{k!}\\\\ \lambda \text{ is the mean of the distribution}[/tex]
We have to evaluate
[tex]P( x =0) = \displaystyle\frac{\lambda^k e^{-\lambda}}{k!}\\\\P(x = 0) = \frac{3^0e^{-3}}{0!} = 0.0497[/tex]
0.0497 is the probability that no calls are received in a given one-minute period.
The role of probability in inferential statistics How is probability used in inferential statistics?A researcher uses probability to decide whether the sample she obtained is likely to be a sample from a particular population.A researcher uses probability to decide whether to draw a sample from a population.A researcher uses probability to decide whether to use inferential or descriptive statistics.
Answer:A researcher uses probability to decide whether the sample she obtained is likely to be a sample from a particular population.
Step-by-step explanation: Inferential statistics is a Statistical process used to compare two or more samples or treatments.
Probability helps in inferential statistics to decide whether the sample obtained is likely from the population of interest.
Inferential statistics use data obtained from the sample of interest in a research to compare the treatment or samples.Through Inferential statistics researchers make conclusions about the entire population.
Probability in inferential statistics is used to make inferences about a population based on sample data. It provides the foundation for statistical methods such as confidence intervals and hypothesis testing to evaluate the accuracy of the sample in representing the population.
Probability in inferential statistics is critical in helping researchers make inferences about a population from a sample. When researchers collect data from a sample, they use probability theory to deduce how likely it is that their observations are reflective of the entire population or occured by chance. Inferential statistical methods, such as confidence intervals and hypothesis testing, leverage probability to make these determinations.
Probability enables statisticians to evaluate the accuracy of the sample data in representing the population, decide how confident they can be about their inferences, and test the validity of existing hypotheses about the population parameters based on sample data.
For instance, if an inferential statistical test indicates that the likelihood of obtaining the observed sample results by chance is only 5%, researchers can infer there is a 95% probability that the sample accurately reflects the population, supporting the hypothesis being tested. Therefore, probability is used to determine how much confidence researchers can have in their sample data when making generalizations about a larger group.

Find the cumulative distribution function of the error. e.The specification for the error is 0 to 0.8 mm, What is the probability that the specification is met?
The corrected parts of the question has been attached to this answer.
Answer:
A) Probability that the error is less than 0.2 mm; P(X < 0.2) = 0.0272
B) Mean Error (E(X)) = 0.6
C) Variance Error (V(X)) = 0.04
D) Answer properly written in attachment (Page 2)
E) P(0<X<0.8) = 0.8192
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability density function of X is;
f(x) = { 12(x^(2) −x^(3) ; 0<x<1
So, due to the integral symbol and for clarity sake, i have attached all the explanations for answers A - D.
E) The probability that the specification for the error to be between 0 to 0.8 mm is met will be;
P(0<X<0.8) = F(0.8) − F(0) =12([(0.8)^(3)] /3] −[(0.8)^(4)]/4]
= 0.8192
So, the probability is 0.8192.
Morgan Bowie is trying to determine the amount to set aside so that he will have enough money on hand in 3 years to overhaul the engine on his vintage used car. While there is some uncertainty about the cost of engine overhauls in 3 years, by conducting some research online, Morgan has developed the following estimates.
Engine Overhaul Estimated Cash Outflow Probability Assessment
$390 10%
570 30%
750 50%
790 10%
How much should Keith Bowie deposit today in an account earning 6%, compounded annually, so that he will have enough money on hand in 6 years to pay for the overhaul?
Final answer:
Keith Bowie should deposit $667.45 into an account today to have enough money in 6 years to pay for the engine overhaul.
Explanation:
To determine the amount Keith Bowie should deposit today in an account earning 6% interest compounded annually, we can use the concept of present value. The present value of a future cash flow is calculated by dividing the future cash flow by (1 + interest rate) raised to the power of the number of years. In this case, we want to find the amount needed that would accumulate to cover the engine overhaul cost in 6 years. Let's assume the cost of the overhaul is $390 with a 10% probability, $570 with a 30% probability, $750 with a 50% probability, and $790 with a 10% probability. We can calculate the present value by multiplying each cash flow amount with its respective probability, discounting it back at the interest rate over 6 years, and adding them all up:
Present Value = (390 * 0.10) / (1 + 0.06)6 + (570 * 0.30) / (1 + 0.06)6 + (750 * 0.50) / (1 + 0.06)6 + (790 * 0.10) / (1 + 0.06)6 = $667.45
Therefore, Keith Bowie should deposit $667.45 into the account today to ensure he has enough money on hand in 6 years to pay for the engine overhaul.

Step-by-step explanation:
The distribution of the amount of change in UF student's pockets has an average of 2.02 dollars and a standard deviation of 3.00 dollars. Suppose that a random sample of 45 UF students was taken and each was asked to count the change in their pocket. The sampling distribution of the sample mean amount of change in students pockets is
A. approximately normal with a mean of 2.02 dollars and a standard error of 3.00 dollars
B. approximately normal with a mean of 2.02 dollars and a standard error of 0.45 dollars
C. approximately normal with an unknown mean and standard error.
D. not approximately normal
Answer:
B. approximately normal with a mean of 2.02 dollars and a standard error of 0.45 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
We use the Central Limit Theorem to solve this question.
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 error [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
In this problem, we have that:
[tex]\mu = 2.02, \sigma = 3, n = 45, s = \frac{3}{\sqrt{45}} = 0.45[/tex]
So the correct answer is:
B. approximately normal with a mean of 2.02 dollars and a standard error of 0.45 dollars
The probabilities that stock A will rise in price is 0.59 and that stock B will rise in price is 0.41. Further, if stock B rises in price, the probability that stock A will also rise in price is 0.61. a. What is the probability that at least one of the stocks will rise in price.b. Are events A and B mutually exclusive? i. Yes because P(A | B) = P(A).ii. Yes because P(A ∩ B) = 0.iii. No because P(A | B) ≠ P(A).iv. No because P(A ∩ B) ≠ 0.c. Are events A and B independent? i. Yes because P(A | B) = P(A).ii.Yes because P(A ∩ B) = 0.iii.No because P(A | B) ≠ P(A).iv.No because P(A ∩ B) ≠ 0.
Answer:
1) 0.75
2) No, the 2 events are not mutually exclusive because P(A&B) ≠ 0
3)The 2 events are not independent because P(A | B) ≠ P(A).
Step-by-step explanation:
1) P(A) = 0.59 and P(B) = 0.41
Thus; to find the probability that at least one of the stocks will rise in price;
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A&B)
Now, we know that if B rises in price, the probability that A will also rise is 0.61 i.e P(A|B) = 0.61
Hence;P(A & B) = P(A|B) x P(B) =0.61 x 0. 41 = 0.25
So P(A or B) = 0.59 + 0.41 - 0.25 = 0.75
B) we want to find out if events A and B are mutually exclusive ;
P(A|B) = P(A&B)/P(B), For the events to be mutually exclusive, P(A&B) has to be zero. Since P(A&B) ≠ 0,the 2 events are not mutually exclusive.
C) Since P(A|B) = 0.61 and P(A) is 0.59. Thus, P(A | B) ≠ P(A).
So, therefore the 2 events are not independent.
The equation r(t)= (3t+9)i+(sqrt(2)t)j+(t^2)k is the position of a particle in space at time t. Find the angle between the velocity and acceleration vectors at time t=0
What is the angle? ______radians
Answer:
[tex]\theta= \frac{\pi}{2} +\pi \cdot i[/tex], for all [tex]i = \mathbb{Z} \cup\{0\}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The velocity vector is found by deriving the position vector depending on the time:
[tex]\dot r(t)= v (t) = 3 \cdot i +\sqrt{2} \cdot j + 2\cdot t \cdot k[/tex]
In turn, acceleration vector is found by deriving the velocity vector depending on time:
[tex]\ddot r(t) = \dot v(t) = a(t) = 2 \cdot k[/tex]
Velocity and acceleration vectors at [tex]t = 0[/tex] are:
[tex]v(0) = 3\cdot i + \sqrt{2} \cdot j\\a(0) = 2 \cdot k\\[/tex]
Norms of both vectors are, respectively:
[tex]||v(0)||\approx 3.317\\||a(0)|| \approx 2[/tex]
The angle between both vectors is determined by using the following characteristic of a Dot Product:
[tex]\theta = \cos^{-1}(\frac{v(0) \bullet a(0)}{||v(0)||\cdot ||a(0)||})[/tex]
Given that cosine has a periodicity of [tex]\pi[/tex]. There is a family of solutions with the form:
[tex]\theta= \frac{\pi}{2} +\pi \cdot i[/tex], for all [tex]i = \mathbb{Z} \cup\{0\}[/tex]
Final answer:
π/2 radians, indicating the vectors are perpendicular at that instant.
Explanation:
The angle between the velocity and acceleration vectors at a given time can be found by first determining the velocity (νt) and acceleration (ν2t) vectors as the first and second derivatives of the position vector r(t). At time t=0, these derivatives can be calculated and then used to find the angle through the dot product and magnitude of these vectors.
For the given position vector
r(t) = (3t+9)i + (√2t)j + (t2)k,
the velocity vector v(t) is obtained by differentiating each component of r(t) with respect to time t, which gives
v(t) = (3)i + (√2)j + (2t)k.
Similarly, acceleration a(t) is the derivative of velocity v(t), which results in a(t) = (0)i + (0)j + (2)k.
At t=0, v(0) = (3)i + (√2)j and a(0) = (2)k. The angle θ between v(0) and a(0) is given by the cosine of the angle between the two vectors, which is calculated using the dot product formula:
θ = cos-1((v ⋅ a) / (|v||a|)).
Here, (v ⋅ a) is the dot product of v(0) and a(0), and |v| and |a| are the magnitudes of v(0) and a(0), respectively.
Since v(0) and a(0) are perpendicular at t=0, their dot product is 0, and the magnitudes of v(0) and a(0) do not affect the angle. Therefore, the angle θ is simply cos-1(0), which is π/2 radians, indicating the vectors are perpendicular.
An individual is hosting a cookout for the kick ball team. The individual wants to have two hot dogs for each guest, and 6 extra hot dogs in case some teammates bring friends. Which variable is dependent?
Answer:
6 extra hot dogs.
Step-by-step explanation:
A dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment. The dependent variable is 'dependent' on the independent variable
The 6 hot dogs are dependent on whether the teammates will bring friends. In other words, if there are no friends, there are no hot dogs. Note that the teammates are the independent variable that is they are not dependent on any variable.
4.36 Stats final scores. Each year about 1500 students take the introductory statistics course at a large university. This year scores on the final exam are distributed with a median of 74 points, a mean of 70 points, and a standard deviation of 10 points. There are no students who scored above 100 (the maximum score attainable on the final) but a few students scored below 20 points. (a) Is the distribution of scores on this final exam symmetric, right skewed, or left skewed
Answer:
The distribution of scores on this final exam is left-skewed.
Step-by-step explanation:
We use the Pearson Mode Skewness to solve this question. It states that:
If the median is higher than the mean, the distribution is left-skewed.
If the median is lower than the mean, the distribution is right-skewed.
If the median is the same as the mean, the distribution is symmetric.
In this problem, we have that:
Median = 74
Mean = 70
Median higher than the mean
So the distribution of scores on this final exam is left-skewed.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
median 74

Find the lateral (side) surface area of the cone generated by revolving the line segment y equals one fourth x , 0 less than or equals x less than or equals 7, about the x-axis. The lateral surface area of the cone generated by revolving the line segment y equals one fourth x , 0 less than or equals x less than or equals 7, about the x-axis is nothing. (Type an exact answer, using pi as needed.)
Answer:
lateral surface area of the cone =49π
Step-by-step explanation:
y= x/4
dx/dy = 4
Given x range as from 0 ≤ x ≤ 7 ⇒ x ranges between (a,b)
a= x/4 = 0/4 = 0
b = x/4= 7/4
lateral surface area of the cone
[tex]\int\limits^b_a {2\pi x\sqrt{1 + (\frac{dx}{dy})^2 } } \, dx \\\\= \int\limits^{\frac{7}{4}}_0 {2\pi (4y)\sqrt{1 + (4)^2 } } \, dx \\\\= 32\pi \int\limits^{\frac{7}{4}}_0 { y } \, dx \\\\= 32\pi [\frac{y^2}{2}]|^\frac{7}{4}_0[/tex]
=32π * 49/(16 *2)
=49π
Final answer:
To find the lateral surface area of the cone with the given line segment, use the formula [tex]L = \(\ r l\)[/tex], where r is the base radius, calculated from the given equation, and l is the slant height determined by the Pythagorean theorem.
Explanation:
The student has asked for help in finding the lateral surface area of a cone generated by revolving a line segment around the x-axis.
The specific line segment is given by the equation [tex]y = \frac{1}{4} x[/tex], for 0 \<= x \<= 7. To find this surface area, we can use the formulas for the surface area of a cone, which is \rl\, where \ is the radius of the base of the cone and \ is the slant height.
In this case, when x=7, y = [tex]y = \frac{1}{4} x[/tex] = 7/4, which gives us the radius of the base of the cone. The slant height can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem, since we have a right triangle with the slant height as the hypotenuse, and the radius and height of the cone as the other two sides. Thus, [tex]l = {7^2+(7/4)^2}[/tex]
Finally, the formula for the lateral surface area of the cone is L = rl, which, after substituting the given values, results in the exact answer needed. The calculation will result in the following:
[tex]L = \frac{7}{4}\times\sqrt{7^2+(7/4)^2}[/tex]
A mexican restaurant sells quesadillas in two sizes: a “large” 12 inch-round quesadilla and a “small” 6 inch-round quesadilla. Which is larger, half of the 12-inch quesadilla or the entire 6 inch quesadilla?
Answer:
"half of the 12-inch quesadilla" is larger
Step-by-step explanation:
The "inch size" is the diameter of the circular quesadilla.
The area of circle is given by [tex]\pi r^2[/tex]
We also know radius is half of diameter.
HALF OF 12-INCH QUESADILLA:
12in diameter = 6 inch radius, the area is:
[tex]\pi(6)^2=36\pi[/tex]
Half of this is:
[tex]\frac{36\pi}{2}=18\pi[/tex]
ENTIRE 6-INCH QUESADILLA:
6 inch diameter means 6/2 = 3 inch radius
The area of this is:
[tex]\pi(3)^2 = 9\pi[/tex]
So, we can say that "half of the 12-inch quesadilla" is larger.
Give as good a big-O estimate as possible for each of these functions. For the function g in your estimate f(x) ∈ O(g(x)), the function should be much simpler than f. (a) f(n) = (n log n + n 2 )(n 3 + 2)
The second and third function are missing and they are;
The second function; ((2^n) + n^(2))(n^(3) + 3^(n))
The third function is;
(n^(n) + n^(2n) + 5^(n))(n! + 5^(n))
Answer:
A) O((n^(3)) logn)
B) O(6^(n))
C) O(n^(n)(n!))
Step-by-step explanation:
I've attached explanation of the 3 answers.
The big-O estimate for the function f(n) = [tex]f(n) = (n log n + n^2)(n^3 + 2)[/tex] is [tex]O(n^5)[/tex] , as the product of the highest order terms [tex]n^2[/tex] and [tex]n^3[/tex] is [tex]n^5[/tex], which dominates the function's growth.
To find a big-O estimate for the function [tex]f(n) = (n log n + n^2)(n^3 + 2)[/tex], we must look for the term with the highest growth rate as n goes to infinity. This function is the product of two terms, n log [tex]n log n + n^2[/tex] and [tex]n^3 + 2[/tex]. The term with the highest growth rate in the first part is n2, and in the second part, it is n3. Therefore, the product of the two highest order terms will give us the term that grows the fastest: [tex]n^2 \times n^3 = n^5[/tex].
Thus, the given function is in big-O of [tex]n^5[/tex], which means [tex]f(n) \in O(n^5)[/tex]. The higher order term [tex]n^5[/tex]completely dominates the growth of the function, making the other terms and constants irrelevant for big-O notation. Remember that big-O notation provides an upper bound and is used to describe the worst-case scenario for the growth rate of the function.

Elana owns a consulting business that helps software companies market their services to school districts. She earns an average of $5687.1 for every contract one of her client companies signs with her help. In order to be able to run her business, she needs to cover $7,000/month (rent, licenses, etc.). The average costs associated with each contract are $1260.7. How many contracts must she facilitate each month in order to break even
Answer:
2 contracts
Step-by-step explanation:
Break even point refers to the number of units or sales that needs to be generated for the company to make neither a profit nor a loss.
This means that at the break even point, sales is equivalent to the cost incurred (both fixed and variable).
Let the number of contracts that must be signed to break even be s
The rent is a fixed cost while the cost associated with each contract is variable.
5687.1s = 7000 + 1260.7s
5687.1s - 1260.7s = 7000
4426.4 s = 7000
s = 1.58
≈ 2
She must facilitate 2 contracts each month to break even.

A retail store stocks windbreaker jackets in small, medium, large, and extra large and all are available in blue or red. What are the combined choices and how many combined choices are there?
Answer:
Choices={SB,SR,MB,MR,LS,LM,XLB,XLR}
8 combined choices
Step-by-step explanation:
Combinations
We'll define two sets of options for the windbreaker jackets, one for the sizes and another for the colors. Being S=small, M=medium, L=large, and XL=extra large, then
Z={S,M,L,XL}
is the set of possible sizes for the windbreaker jackets. Now, being B=blue and R=red, the set of colors is
C={B,R}
The combined choices are found by the cartesian product of ZxC:
Choices={SB,SR,MB,MR,LS,LM,XLB,XLR}
Where MB, for example, is Medium-Blue
That is the sample space for all the possible combinations, there are 8 in total
According to the Counting Principle in Mathematics, there are 8 different combinations of sizes and colors for the windbreaker jackets available at the retail store.
Explanation:The retail store offers windbreaker jackets in four different sizes: small, medium, large, and extra large. Each of these sizes is available in two colors: blue and red. Therefore, using a concept in mathematics known as the Counting Principle, we can ascertain the number of combinations. The Counting Principle states that if one event can occur in m ways and another can occur in n ways, then the number of ways that both events can occur is m*n.
So in this scenario, we have 4 sizes (small, medium, large, extra-large) and 2 colors (blue, red). Applying the Counting Principle, there are a total of 4 * 2 = 8 different combinations of jackets that can be purchased from the store.

Which polynomials are in standard form?
Choose all answers that apply:
5-2x
x^4-8x^2 -16
5x^3 + 4x^4 — 3x + 1
None of the above
Answer: The second option, x^4 - 8x^2 - 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
Polynomials in standard form start with the highest degree, from greatest to least exponent. After all terms with exponents are in order, alphabetical variables are next. In this case there's only x. Last are constant terms, which are by itself, with no variable next to it/an exponent to the right of it.
x^4 - 8x^2 - 16 is in standard form because it follows the criteria above. 4 is the highest degree since it's the highest exponent in the polynomial expression, which is why it starts off with x^4. Other terms with lesser exponents are next. In this case, it's 8x^2 with the less exponent of 2. Finally, it ends with your constant term, -16.
The standard form of the polynomial is,
⇒ x⁴ - 8x² - 16
Given that,
All the polynomials are,
⇒ 5 - 2x
⇒ x⁴ - 8x² - 16
⇒ 5x³ + 4x⁴ - 3x + 1
Since we know that,
In standard form, a polynomial is arranged in descending order of the exponents of its terms.
This means that the term with the highest degree is listed first, followed by the terms with lower degrees.
Hence, Based on this definition, the polynomial in standard form among the options is,
⇒ x⁴ - 8x² - 16

There are 24 tennis balls in a basket. Four tennis players divided the balls evenly among each other. How many tennis balls did each player get?
A. t - 4 = 24
B. t 4 = 24
C. 4t = 24
D. t + 4 = 24
E. 4 t = 24
F. t = 24 + 4
Answer:
Each player gets 6 tennis balls.
4 × t = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of tennis balls in the basket is, 24 balls.
The number of tennis players is, 4 players.
On equally dividing all the balls among the 4 players, each player gets,
[tex]No.\ of\ balls\ each\ player\ gets=\frac{No.\ of\ balls}{No.\ of\ players} \\=\frac{24}{4} \\=6[/tex]
Thus, each player gets 6 tennis balls.
If we want to represent the equation of the number of players and number of balls, the equation will be,
4 × t = 24
t = number of tennis balls each player gets.
Final answer:
To divide 24 tennis balls evenly among four players, we use the equation 4t = 24, where 't' is the number of balls per player. By dividing 24 by 4, we find that each player receives 6 tennis balls.
Explanation:
The student is asking how to divide 24 tennis balls evenly among four players, which is a basic division problem in mathematics. The correct mathematical equation to represent this situation is C. 4t = 24, where 't' represents the number of tennis balls each player gets. To find the value of 't', we divide the total number of balls, 24, by the number of players, 4.
We perform the division as follows:
Write down the equation: 4t = 24.
Divide both sides of the equation by 4 to solve for 't': t = 24 / 4.
Calculate the result: t = 6.
Each player gets 6 tennis balls.
Calculate the probability that a particle in a one-dimensional box of length aa is found between 0.29a0.29a and 0.34a0.34a when it is described by the following wave function: 2a−−√sin(πxa)2asin(πxa). Express your answer to two significant figures.
Answer:
P(0.29a < X < 0.34a) = -(4a/π) [(cos 0.34πa²) - (cos 0.29πa²)]
Assuming the box is of unit length, a = 1,
0.29a = 0.29 and 0.34a = 0.34
P(0.29 < X < 0.34) = (-4/π) [(cos 0.34π) - (cos 0.29π)] = 0.167 = 0.17 to 2 s.f
Step-by-step explanation:
ψ(x) = 2a(√sin(πxa)
The probability of finding a particle in a specific position for a given energy level in a one-dimensional box is related to the square of the wavefunction
The probability of finding a particle between two points 0.29a and 0.34a is given mathematically as
P(0.29a < X < 0.34a) = ∫⁰•³⁴ᵃ₀.₂₉ₐ ψ²(x) dx
That is, integrating from 0.29a to 0.34a
ψ²(x) = [2a(√sin(πxa)]² = 4a² sin(πxa)
∫⁰•³⁴ᵃ₀.₂₉ₐ ψ²(x) dx = ∫⁰•³⁴ᵃ₀.₂₉ₐ (4a² sin(πxa)) dx
∫⁰•³⁴ᵃ₀.₂₉ₐ (4a² sin(πxa))
= - [(4a²/πa)cos(πxa)]⁰•³⁴ᵃ₀.₂₉ₐ
- [(4a/π)cos(πxa)]⁰•³⁴ᵃ₀.₂₉ₐ = -(4a/π) [(cos 0.34πa²) - (cos 0.29πa²)]
P(0.29a < X < 0.34a) = -(4a/π) [(cos 0.34πa²) - (cos 0.29πa²)]
Assuming the box is of unit length, a = 1
P(0.29 < X < 0.34) = (-4/π) [(cos 0.34π) - (cos 0.29π)] = (-1.273) [0.482 - 0.613] = 0.167.
Blood pressure: High blood pressure has been identified as a risk factor for heart attacks and strokes. The proportion of U.S. adults with high blood pressure is 0.2. A sample of 37 U.S. adults is chosen. Use the TI-84 Plus Calculator as needed. Round the answer to at least four decimal places.
Answer:
[tex]p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})[/tex]
For this case we know this:
[tex] n=37 , p=0.2[/tex]
We can find the standard error like this:
[tex] SE = \sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}= \sqrt{\frac{0.2*0.8}{37}}= 0.0658[/tex]
So then our random variable can be described as:
[tex] p \sim N(0.2, 0.0658)[/tex]
Let's suppose that the question on this case is find the probability that the population proportion would be higher than 0.4:
[tex] P(p>0.4)[/tex]
We can use the z score given by:
[tex] z = \frac{p -\mu_p}{SE_p}[/tex]
And using this we got this:
[tex] P(p>0.4) = 1-P(z< \frac{0.4-0.2}{0.0658}) = 1-P(z<3.04) = 0.0012[/tex]
And we can find this probability using the Ti 84 on this way:
2nd> VARS> DISTR > normalcdf
And the code that we need to use for this case would be:
1-normalcdf(-1000, 3.04; 0;1)
Or equivalently we can use:
1-normalcdf(-1000, 0.4; 0.2;0.0658)
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to check if we can use the normal approximation:
[tex] np = 37 *0.2 = 7.4 \geq 5[/tex]
[tex] n(1-p) = 37*0.8 = 29.6\geq 5[/tex]
We assume independence on each event and a random sampling method so we can conclude that we can use the normal approximation and then ,the population proportion have the following distribution :
[tex]p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})[/tex]
For this case we know this:
[tex] n=37 , p=0.2[/tex]
We can find the standard error like this:
[tex] SE = \sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}= \sqrt{\frac{0.2*0.8}{37}}= 0.0658[/tex]
So then our random variable can be described as:
[tex] p \sim N(0.2, 0.0658)[/tex]
Let's suppose that the question on this case is find the probability that the population proportion would be higher than 0.4:

A class survey in a large class for first-year college students asked, "About how many minutes do you study on a typical weeknight?" The mean response of the 255 students was x¯¯¯ = 148 minutes. Suppose that we know that the studey time follows a Normal distribution with standard deviation σ = 65 minutes in the population of all first-year students at this university. Regard these students as an SRS from the population of all first-year students at this university. Does the study give good evidence that students claim to study more than 2 hours per night on the average? (a) State null and alternative hypotheses in terms of the mean study time in minutes for the population. (b) What is the value of the test statistic z? (c) Can you conclude that students do claim to study more than two hours per weeknight on the average?
Answer:
There is enough evidence to support the claim that students study more than two hours per weeknight on the average.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
Population mean, μ = 2 hours = 120 minutes
Sample mean, [tex]\bar{x}[/tex] = 148 minutes = 2.467 hours
Sample size, n = 255
Alpha, α = 0.05
Population standard deviation, σ = 65 minutes
First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis
[tex]H_{0}: \mu = 120\text{ minutes}\\H_A: \mu > 120\text{ minutes}[/tex]
We use one-tailed z test to perform this hypothesis.
Formula:
[tex]z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} }[/tex]
Putting all the values, we have
[tex]z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{148 - 120}{\frac{65}{\sqrt{255}} } = 6.8788[/tex]
Now, we calculate the p-value from the normal standard table.
P-value = 0.00001
Since the p-value is smaller than the significance level, we fail accept the null hypothesis and reject it, We accept the alternate hypothesis.
Conclusion:
Thus, there is enough evidence to support the claim that students study more than two hours per weeknight on the average.
Answer:
There is enough evidence to support the claim that students study more than two hours per weeknight on the average.
Step-by-step explanation:
A thin sheet of ice is in the form of a circle. If the ice is melting in such a way that the area of the sheet is decreasing at a rate of 0.5 m2/sec at what rate is the radius decreasing when the area of the sheet is 12 m2
Answer:
dx/dt = 0,04 m/sec
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the circle is:
A(c) =π*x² where x is a radius of the circle
Applying differentiation in relation to time we get:
dA(c)/dt = π*2*x* dx/dt
In this equation we know:
dA(c)/dt = 0,5 m²/sec
And are looking for dx/dt then
0,5 = 2*π*x*dx/dt when the area of the sheet is 12 m² (1)
When A(c) = 12 m² x = ??
A(c) = 12 = π*x² ⇒ 12 = 3.14* x² ⇒ 12/3.14 = x²
x² = 3,82 ⇒ x = √3,82 ⇒ x = 1,954 m
Finally plugging ths value in equation (1)
0,5 = 6,28*1,954*dx/dt
dx/dt = 0,5 /12.28
dx/dt = 0,04 m/sec
The rate at which the radius is decreasing when the area of the sheet is 12 m² is; dr/dt = 0.041 m/s
We are given;
Area of sheet; A = 12 m²
Rate of change of area; dA/dt = 0.5 m²/s
Now, formula for area of the circular sheet is given as;
A = πr²
Thus; 12 = πr²
r = √(12/π)
r = 1.9554 m
Now, we want to find the rate at which the radius is decreasing and so we differentiate both sides of the area formula with respect to t;
dA/dt = 2πr(dr/dt)
Thus;
0.5 = 2π × 1.9554(dr/dt)
dr/dt = 0.5/(2π × 1.9554)
dr/dt = 0.041 m/s

A type of long-range radio transmits data across the Atlantic Ocean. The number of errors in the transmission during any given amount of time approximately follows a Poisson distribution. The mean number of errors is 2 per hour. (a) What is the probability of having at least 3
Answer:
32.33% probability of having at least 3 erros in an hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
In which
x is the number of sucesses
e = 2.71828 is the Euler number
[tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean in the given time interval.
The mean number of errors is 2 per hour.
This means that [tex]\mu = 2[/tex]
(a) What is the probability of having at least 3 errors in an hour?
Either you have 2 or less errors in an hour, or we have at least 3 errors. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So
[tex]P(X \leq 2) + P(X \geq 3) = 1[/tex]
We want [tex]P(X \geq 3)[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X \leq 2)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)[/tex]
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-2}*(2)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.1353[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-2}*(2)^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.2707[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-2}*(2)^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2707[/tex]
[tex]P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.1353 + 0.2707 + 0.2707 = 0.6767[/tex]
[tex]P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X \leq 2) = 1 - 0.6767 = 0.3233[/tex]
32.33% probability of having at least 3 erros in an hour.
Final answer:
The question involves calculating the probability of having at least 3 transmission errors in an hour for a long-range radio using the Poisson distribution. Given the mean number of errors is 2 per hour, the resulting probability is found to be 32.33%.
Explanation:
The question involves understanding the Poisson distribution, which is a probability distribution that is used to describe the number of events occurring within a fixed interval of time or space given a known average rate. In this question, we are dealing with a long-range radio transmits across the Atlantic Ocean, where the average number of transmission errors per hour follows a Poisson distribution with a mean (λ) of 2 errors per hour. To find the probability of having at least 3 errors in any given hour, we can use the formula P(X ≥ k) = 1 - [P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2)], where X is the number of transmission errors.
To calculate P(X=k) for k=0,1,2, we use the Poisson probability formula P(X=k) = (e^{-λ} * λ^k) / k!, where e is the base of the natural logarithm (approximately 2.71828). Thus:
P(X=0) = (e^{-2} x 2⁰) / 0! = 0.1353
P(X=1) = (e^{-2} x 2¹) / 1! = 0.2707
P(X=2) = (e^{-2} x 2²) / 2! = 0.2707
Adding up these probabilities gives us 0.6767. Therefore, the probability of having at least 3 errors in any given hour is 1 - 0.6767 = 0.3233 or 32.33%.
According to the 2011 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation, there were over 71 million wildife watchers in the US. Of these wildlife watchers, the survey reports that 80% actively observed mammals. Suppose that one of the census workers repeated the survey with a simple random sample of only 500 wildlife watchers that same year. Assuming that the original survey's 80% claim is correct, what is the approximate probability that between 79% and 81%of the 500 sampled wildlife watchers actively observed mammals in 2011?
Answer:
The probability that between 79% and 81%of the 500 sampled wildlife watchers actively observed mammals in 2011 is P=0.412.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the population proportion π=0.8, according to the 2011 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation.
If we take a sample from this population, and assuming the proportion is correct, it is expected that the sample's proportion to be equal to the population's proportion.
The standard deviation of the sample is equal to:
[tex]\sigma_s=\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{N}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.8*0.2}{500}}=0.018[/tex]
With the mean and the standard deviaion of the sample, we can calculate the z-value for 0.79 and 0.81:
[tex]z=\frac{p-\pi}{\sigma}=\frac{0.79-0.80}{0.018} =\frac{-0.01}{0.018} = -0.55\\\\z=\frac{p-\pi}{\sigma}=\frac{0.81-0.80}{0.018} =\frac{0.01}{0.018} = 0.55[/tex]
Then, the probability that between 79% and 81%of the 500 sampled wildlife watchers actively observed mammals in 2011 is:
[tex]P(0.79<p<0.81)=P(-0.55<z<0.55)\\\\P(0.79<p<0.81)=P(z<0.55)-P(z<-0.55)\\\\P(0.79<p<0.81)=0.70884-0.29116=0.41768[/tex]
Following are the solution to the given question:
By using the approximation of normal for the proportions so, the values:
[tex]\to P(\hat{p} < p ) = P(Z < \frac{(\hat{p} - p)}{\sqrt{\frac{p ( 1 - p)}{n}}} )[/tex]
So,
[tex]\to P(0.79 < \hat{p} < 0.81) = P( \hat{p} < 0.81) - P( \hat{p} < 0.79)[/tex]
[tex]= P(Z<\frac{( 0.81 - 0.80)}{\sqrt{\frac{0.80( 1 - 0.80)}{500}}}) - P(Z < \frac{( 0.79 - 0.80)}{ \sqrt{ \frac{0.80 ( 1 - 0.80)}{500}}}) \\\\[/tex]
[tex]= P(Z < 0.56) - P(Z < -0.56)\\\\= 0.7123 - 0.2877 \ \ \text{(using the Z table)}\\\\= 0.4246[/tex]
Therefore, the final answer is "0.4246".

The cost, in dollars, of producing x yards of a certain fabric is C(x) = 1500 + 12x − 0.1x2 + 0.0005x3. (a) Find the marginal cost function. C'(x) = (b) Find C'(500) and explain its meaning. What does it predict? C'(500) = and this is the rate at which costs are increasing with respect to the production level when x = . C'(500) predicts the cost of producing the yard. (c) Compare C'(500) with the cost of manufacturing the 501st yard of fabric. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) The cost of manufacturing the 501st yard of fabric is C(501) − C(500) = − 45,000 ≈ , which is approximately C'(500).
a) The marginal cost function is [tex]\[C'(x) = 12 - 0.2x + 0.0015x^2\][/tex].
b) The value C'(500) = 287 predicts that for every additional yard of fabric produced at this level (500 yards), the cost will increase by $287.
c) The cost of manufacturing the 501st yard of fabric is approximately $45,000, which is approximately equal to the marginal cost C'(500)
a)
To find the marginal cost function, we need to take the derivative of the cost function C(x) with respect to x:
[tex]\[C(x) = 1500 + 12x - 0.1x^2 + 0.0005x^3\][/tex]
Taking the derivative:
[tex]\[C'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(1500 + 12x - 0.1x^2 + 0.0005x^3)\][/tex]
[tex]\[C'(x) = 12 - 0.2x + 0.0015x^2\][/tex]
b)
To find [tex]\(C'(500)\)[/tex] substitute x = 500 into the marginal cost function:
[tex]\[C'(500) = 12 - 0.2(500) + 0.0015(500^2)\][/tex]
[tex]\[C'(500) = 12 - 100 + 375\][/tex]
[tex]\[C'(500) = 287\][/tex]
The value C'(500) = 287 represents the rate at which costs are increasing with respect to the production level when x = 500. It predicts that for every additional yard of fabric produced at this level (500 yards), the cost will increase by $287.
c)
To compare C'(500) with the cost of manufacturing the 501st yard of fabric, calculate C(501) - C(500):
[tex]\[C(501) - C(500) = (1500 + 12(501) - 0.1(501)^2 + 0.0005(501)^3) - (1500 + 12(500) - 0.1(500)^2 + 0.0005(500)^3)\][/tex]
Calculate the difference:
[tex]\[C(501) - C(500) = -45,000\][/tex]
Therefore, the cost of manufacturing the 501st yard of fabric is approximately $45,000, which is approximately equal to the marginal cost C'(500) when rounded to four decimal places.

(a) Marginal cost function: C'(x) = 12 - 0.2x + 0.0015x².
(b) C'(500) predicts a $287 cost increase for the 500th yard.
(c) Cost for the 501st yard is approximately $512, slightly higher than C'(500).
(a) To find the marginal cost function, we need to calculate the derivative of the cost function C(x) with respect to x:
C(x) = 1500 + 12x - 0.1x² + 0.0005x³
C'(x) = d/dx [1500 + 12x - 0.1x² + 0.0005x³]
C'(x) = 12 - 0.2x + 0.0015x²
So, the marginal cost function is C'(x) = 12 - 0.2x + 0.0015x².
(b) To find C'(500), we plug in x = 500 into the marginal cost function:
C'(500) = 12 - 0.2(500) + 0.0015(500)²
C'(500) = 12 - 100 + 375
C'(500) = 287
C'(500) represents the rate at which costs are increasing with respect to the production level when 500 yards of fabric are produced. In this case, it predicts that the cost is increasing at a rate of $287 per yard for the 500th yard produced.
(c) To compare C'(500) with the cost of manufacturing the 501st yard of fabric, we need to calculate C(501) - C(500):
C(501) - C(500) = [1500 + 12(501) - 0.1(501)² + 0.0005(501)³] - [1500 + 12(500) - 0.1(500)² + 0.0005(500)³]
C(501) - C(500) = [1500 + 6012 - 25005 + 627507] - [1500 + 6000 - 25000 + 625000]
C(501) - C(500) = [627012] - [626500]
C(501) - C(500) = 512
So, the cost of manufacturing the 501st yard of fabric is $512, which is approximately equal to C'(500), which was calculated as $287. This means that the cost increased by approximately $287 for the 500th yard and by $512 for the 501st yard.
