U.S. craft-beer breweries (breweries that make fewer than 6 million barrels annually and are less than 25% owned by big breweries) have been doing a booming business. The number of these small breweries from 2008 through 2012 can be modeled by using a quadratic function of the form f(t) = at² + bt + c where a, b, and c are constants and t is measured in years, with t = 0 corresponding to 2008.
(a) Find a, b, and c if f(0) = 1547, f(2) = 1802, and f(4) = 2403.
(b) Use the model obtained in part (a) to estimate the number of craft-beer breweries in 2016, assuming that the trend continued. (Round your answer to the nearest integer.)

Answers

Answer 1

a) The values of a, b and c are [tex]\frac{173}{4}, 41[/tex] and [tex]1547[/tex] respectively.

b) The number of craft beer breweries in 2016 will be 4643.

The quadratic equation holds an important significance in mathematics and is used in many situations, like calculating area or finding profit. When two linear expressions get multiplied, the resultant expression is a quadratic expression.

The number of craft beer breweries is modeled by a quadratic equation [tex]f(t)=at^2+bt+c[/tex].

In 2008, t=0.

a) Here, it is given that [tex]f(0)=1547[/tex], [tex]f(2)=1802[/tex] and [tex]f(4)=2403[/tex].

Now, use these values to find a, b and c as follows:

[tex]f(0)=a(0)^2+b(0)+c[/tex]

[tex]1547=c[/tex]

[tex]f(2)=a(2)^2+2b+c[/tex]

[tex]1802=4a+2b+1547[/tex]

[tex]255=4a+2b[/tex]

[tex]f(4)=a(4)^2+b(4)+c[/tex]

[tex]2403=16a+4b+1547[/tex]

[tex]856=16a+4b[/tex]

[tex]214=4a+b[/tex]

Now, setting the equations [tex]4a+2b=255[/tex] and [tex]4a+b=214[/tex] equal to each other:

[tex]4a=255-2b[/tex]

[tex]4a=214-b[/tex]

[tex]255-2b=214-b[/tex]

[tex]b=255-214[/tex]

[tex]b=41[/tex]

Now plugging the value of b into the equation [tex]4a+b=214[/tex], we get

[tex]4a+b=214[/tex]

[tex]4a=214-b[/tex]

[tex]a=\frac{214-b}{4}[/tex]

[tex]a=\frac{214-41}{4}[/tex]

[tex]a=\frac{173}{4}[/tex]

So, we have [tex]a=\frac{173}{4}[/tex], [tex]b=41[/tex] and [tex]c=1547[/tex]

b) Using the values calculated in part (a), the quadratic equation becomes

[tex]f(t)=\frac{173}{4}t^2+41t+1547[/tex]

Now, in 2016, the value of t=8

So, the number of craft beer breweries in 2016 will be calculated by [tex]f(8)[/tex]:

[tex]f(8)=\frac{173}{4}(8)^2+41(8)+1547[/tex]

[tex]= 2768+328+1547[/tex]

[tex]= 4643[/tex]

Therefore, the number of craft beer breweries in 2016 will be 4643.

Answer 2
Final answer:

We first find the constants by substituting in the provided points into the quadratic equation to create a series of equations. Solving them gives us a = 61.5, b = 47, and c = 1547. To predict the number of breweries in 2016, we substitute t = 8 into the function to get approximately 3455 breweries.

Explanation:

To find the constants a, b, and c, we will substitute the given points (0, 1547), (2, 1802), and (4, 2403) into the equation f(t) = at² + bt + c. This will give us three equations:

1547 = a(0)² + b(0) + c 1802 = a(2)² + b(2) + c 2403 = a(4)² + b(4) + c

Solving these gives us a = 61.5, b = 47, and c = 1547. Therefore the quadratic function is: f(t) = 61.5t² + 47t + 1547.

For (b), we want to find the number of breweries in 2016, which is 8 years from 2008. Substituting t = 8 into our quadratic function gives us f(8) = 61.5(8²) + 47(8) + 1547 which is approximately 3455. So, the model estimates there will be around 3455 craft-beer breweries in 2016.

Suppose the exchange rate of US dollar to Japanese yen exchange rate is $1 for every 107.35 yen, and the Japanese yen to Bitcoin exchange rate is 1,086,300 yen for every 1 Bitcoin. If someone traded $83,000 US dollars for Japanese yen, then traded the yen for Bitcoin, how many Bitcoin would that person end up with? Round your answer to the nearest whole Bitcoin.

Answers

Answer:

The person would end up with 8 Bitcoins.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by consecutive rules of three.

If someone traded $83,000 US dollars for Japanese yen, then traded the yen for Bitcoin, how many Bitcoin would that person end up with?

Each US dollar is worth 107.35 yen. So how many yens are $83,000 US dollars worth?

$1 - 107.35 yen

$83,000 - x yen

[tex]x = 83000*107.35[/tex]

[tex]x = 8,910,050[/tex]

The person has 8,910,050 yens. Each bitcoin is worth 1,086,300 yens. How many bitcoins are worth 8,910,050 yens?

1 bitcoin - 1,086,300 yens

x bitcoins - 8,910,050 yens

[tex]1086300x = 8910050[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{8910050}{1086300}[/tex]

[tex]x = 8.2[/tex]

Rouded to the nearest whole Bitcoin, is 8.

So the person would end up with 8 Bitcoins.

Final answer:

By first converting the US dollars to yen and then trading the yen for Bitcoin, using the provided exchange rates, we determine that the person would end up with roughly 8 Bitcoin.

Explanation:

To answer this exchange rate problem, we must first convert the US dollars to yen, then convert the yen to Bitcoin.

First, we multiply the amount of US dollars, $83,000 by the US dollar to yen exchange rate, which is 107.35 yen for every 1 US dollar. This gives us:

$83,000 * 107.35 yen/US dollar = 8,910,050 yen

Next, we trade the yen for Bitcoin by dividing by the yen to Bitcoin exchange rate. Our yen to Bitcoin rate is 1,086,300 yen for 1 Bitcoin:

8,910,050 yen ÷ 1,086,300 yen/Bitcoin ≈ 8.2 Bitcoin.

Rounding this to the nearest whole number, we find that the person ends up with approximately 8 Bitcoin.

A class receives a list of 20 study problems, from which 10 will be part of an upcoming exam. A student knows how to solve 15 of the problems. Find the probability that the student will be able to answer (a) all 10 questions on the exam, (b) exactly eight questions on the exam, and (c) at least nine questions on the exam.

Answers

Answer:

(a) 0.01625

(b) 0.3483

(c)  0.15170

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are total of 20 study problems from which 10 will come in the exam and A student knows how to solve 15 of the problems from those 20 total problems.

(a) To calculate the probability that the student will be able to answer all 10 questions on the exam, we know that:

students will be able answer all 10 questions in the exam only when all these 10 questions will be from the 15 problem which he know how to solve.

So the chances that he knows all 10 questions in the exam = [tex]^{15}C_1_0[/tex]

And total ways in which he answer 10 question from the 20 study problems =[tex]^{20}C_1_0[/tex]

Therefore, the Probability that the student will be able to answer all 10 questions on the exam = [tex]\frac{^{15}C_1_0}{^{20}C_1_0}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{15!}{5!\times 10!} \times \frac{10!\times 10!}{20!}[/tex] {Because [tex]^{n}C_r[/tex] = [tex]\frac{n!}{r!\times (n-r)!}[/tex] }

                                                  = 0.01625

(b) Probability that the student will be able to answer exactly eight questions on the exam = In the numerator there will be No. of ways that he answer exactly eight questions from the 15 problems he knows and the remaining 2 questions he solve from the 5 questions whose answer he doesn't know and in the denominator there will Total number of ways in which he answer 10 question from the 20 study problems.

So Required Probability = [tex]\frac{^{15}C_8 \times ^{5}C_2 }{^{20}C_1_0 }[/tex]  = [tex]\frac{15!}{8!\times 7!}\times \frac{5!}{2!\times 3!}\times \frac{10!\times 10!}{20!}[/tex] = 0.3483

(c) To calculate the probability that student will be able to answer at least nine questions on the exam is given by that [He will be able to nine questions on the exam + He will be able to answer all  10 questions on the exam]

So no. of ways that he will be able to nine questions on the exam = He answer 9 questions from those 15 problems which he know and remaining one question from the other 5 questions we he don't know = [tex]^{15}C_9\times ^{5}C_1[/tex]

And no. of ways that he will be able to answer all  10 questions on the exam

= [tex]^{15}C_1_0[/tex]  

So, the required probability = [tex]\frac{(^{15}C_9\times ^{5}C_1)+^{15}C_1_0}{^{20}C_1_0}[/tex] = 0.15170

The probability that the student will be able to answer all 10 questions on the exam is 0.01625.

How to calculate probability?

The probability that the student will be able to answer all 10 questions on the exam will be:

= 15C10 / 20C10

= [15! / (5! × 10!)] × [10! × 20!/20!]

= 0.01625

The probability that the student will be able to answer exactly eight questions on the exam will be:

= (15C8 × 5C2) / 20C10

= 0.3483

The probability that the student will answer at least nine questions on the exam will be:

= [(15C9 × 5C1) + 15C10] / 20C10]

= 0.15170

device uses five silicon chips. Suppose the five chips are chosen at random from a batch of a hundred chips out of which five are defective. What is the probability that the de\"ice contains no defecth'e chip when it is made up from one batch?

Answers

Final answer:

The probability that a device using five silicon chips selected randomly from a batch of 100 chips, which includes five defective ones, contains no defective chip is calculated by the ratio of selecting five good chips to selecting any five chips from the batch.

Explanation:

The question is asking to find the probability that a device, which uses five silicon chips selected from a batch of a hundred chips with five being defective, will have no defective chip. To solve this, we can calculate the probability step by step using the concept of combinations.

Firstly, we determine the number of ways to select five non-defective chips out of 95 good ones, which is C(95,5). Then, we calculate the total number of ways to select any five chips out of the whole batch, which is C(100,5). The probability that the device contains no defective chip is the ratio of these two numbers:

P(device has no defective chip) = C(95,5) / C(100,5)

Where C(n,k) represents the number of combinations of n items taken k at a time.

To calculate this, use factorials where C(n,k) = n! / [(n-k)!k!].

So, the probability that the device contains no defective chip, is:

P(device has no defective chip) = (95! / (90!*5!)) / (100! / (95!*5!))

Simplifying the factorials, we have:

P(device has no defective chip) = (95*94*93*92*91) / (100*99*98*97*96)

Finally, calculate this to get the decimal value, which would give the probability that the device contains no defective chips when made up from one batch.

Full Question

The number of messages that arrive at a Web site is a Poisson distributed random variable with a mean of 6 messages per hour.

a. What is the probability that 6 messages are received in 1 hour?

b. What is the probability that 10 messages are received in 1.5 hours?

c. What is the probability that fewer than 2 messages are received in 0.5 hour?

Answer and Explanation

Given

λ = 6 per hour

Poisson Probability P(X = k) = (λ^k e^-λ)/k!

a. K = 6

P(X = 6) = (6^6 e^-6)/6!

P(X = 6) = 0.160623141047980

P(X = 6) = 0.1606--------- Approximated

b.

If 6 messages are received on average per hour then the number of messages received on average per 1.5 hours is

λ = 6 *1.5

λ = 9

For k = 10

P(X = 10) = (9^10 e^-9)/10!

P(X = 10) = 0.118580076008570

P(X=10) = 0.1186 ---------- Approximated

c.

If 6 messages are received on average per hour then the number of messages received on average per 0.5 hours is

λ = 6 *0.5

λ = 3

For messages fewer than 2 means than k = 0 or k = 1

For k = 0

P(X = 0) = (3^0 e^-3)/0!

P(X = 0) = 0.049787068367863

P(X = 0) = 0.0498 ------_--- Approximated

For X = 1

P(X = 1) = (3^1 e^-3)/1!

P(X = 1) = 0.149361205103591

P(X = 1) = 0.1494 ---------- Approximated

P(X <2) = P(X=0) + P(X=1)

P(X<2) = 0.0498 + 0.1494

P(X<2) = 0.1996

Find two vectors in opposite directions that are orthogonal to the vector u. (The answers are not unique. Enter your answer as a comma-separated list of vectors.) u = 5, −2, 8

Answers

The two vectors which are orthogonal to the given vector u are (0, 4, 1) and  (8, 0, -5).

Use the concept of orthogonal vectors defined as:

The term "orthogonal" in mathematics denotes a direction at a 90° angle. If two vectors u, and v form a right angle when they are perpendicular, or if the dot product they produce is zero, then they are said to be orthogonal.

The given vector is,

u = (5, −2, 8)

Let the vector orthogonal to this is,

v = (x, y, z)

Since vectors u and v are orthogonal,

Therefore,

u.v = 0

(5, −2, 8)(x, y, z) = 0

5x -2y + 8x = 0  .....(i)

To find the vectors choose x, y, and x such that equation one is satisfied.

So take x = 0, y = 4 and z = 1

Then (x, y, z) = (0, 4, 1) satisfy the equation (i)

Similarly, choose x = 8, y = 0, z = -5

Then (x, y, z) = (8, 0, -5) satisfy the equation (i)

Hence,

Two orthogonal vectors are (0, 4, 1) and  (8, 0, -5)

Final answer:

Two vectors orthogonal to u=(5, -2, 8) could be v=(2, 5, 0) and u'=(-2, -5, 0). Both vectors satisfy the definition of orthogonality, having a dot product with u equal to zero.

Explanation:

To find two vectors that are orthogonal to the given vector u = (5, -2, 8), we need to find two vectors that have a dot product with vector u equal to zero. This is because orthogonality (perpendicularity in 3D space) is defined by a zero dot product.

For instance, let's calculate the dot product of u with v = (2, 5, 0). It'll be (5*2) + ((-2)*5) + (8*0) = 0. Therefore, vector v = (2, 5, 0) is orthogonal to u.

For a vector in the opposite direction, we simply need to multiply every component of vector v by -1. Consequently, a vector u′ = (-2, -5, 0) is in the opposite direction of v but still orthogonal to u. So, our answer is vectors v = (2, 5, 0) and u' = (-2, -5, 0).

The solution to the differential equation

y' = (7cos5x)/(8 - 3y); y(0) = 3

is

16y - 3y² = 70sin5x + 21

Step-by-step explanation:

y' = (7cos5x)/(8 - 3y)

This can be written as

dy/dx = (7cos5x)/(8 - 3y)

Separate the variables

(8 - 3y)dy = (7cos5x)dx

Integrate both sides

8y - (3/2)y² = 35sin5x + C

Applying the initial condition y(0) = 3

8(3) - (3/2)(3)² = 35sin(5(0)) + C

24 - (27/2) = 0 + C

C = 21/2

Therefore,

8y - (3/2)y² = 35sin5x + 21/2

Or

16y - 3y² = 70sin5x + 21

Normal probability distribution

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.

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]s= \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In this problem, we have that:

[tex]\mu = 197, \sigma = 32, n = 64, s = \frac{32}{\sqrt{64}} = 4[/tex]

What is the probability that the average weight of these 64 adult males is over 205 pounds?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 205.

So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{205 - 197}{4}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9772

1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228

There is a 2.28% probability that the average weight of these 64 adult males is over 205 pounds.

Final answer:

The probability that the average weight of 64 randomly selected adult males is over 205 pounds is approximately 2.28%.

Explanation:

This problem involves the concept of normal distribution and probability in statistics. Given the mean (μ) is 197 pounds and the standard deviation (σ) is 32 pounds, we want to find the probability that the average weight of 64 randomly selected adult males (n=64) is over 205 pounds.

Firstly, we need to calculate the standard error (SE), which is σ/√n, thus SE=32/√64= 4 pounds. Next, we calculate the Z-score, which is (X-μ)/SE, thus Z=(205-197)/4=2.

A Z-score of 2 refers to a value that is 2 standard deviations away from the mean. Looking this up on a Z-table or using statistical software, we can see that the area to the left of Z=2 is approximately 0.9772, meaning there is a 97.72% chance that a randomly selected adult male's weight is below 205 pounds. Hence the probability of the weight being over 205 pounds is 1-0.9772=0.0228 or 2.28%.

Find the balance of $7,000 deposited at 4% compounded semi-annually for 2 years

Answers

Answer:

The balance will be $7,577.03.

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound interest formula is given by:

[tex]A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

Where A is the amount of money, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per unit t and t is the time the money is invested or borrowed for.

In this problem, we have that:

[tex]P = 7000, r = 0.04[/tex]

Semianually means twice a year, so [tex]n = 2[/tex]

We want to find A when [tex]t = 2[/tex].

So

[tex]A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

[tex]A = 7000(1 + \frac{0.04}{2})^{2*2}[/tex]

[tex]A = 7577.03[/tex]

The balance will be $7,577.03.

(c) What percentage of standardized test scores is greater than 768? % (Round to one decimal place as needed.)

Answers

You can convert the given normal distribution to standard normal distribution and then use the z tables to find the needed probabilities.

Rounding to one places of decimal, we get the answers as:

[tex]P( 411 < X < 649 ) \approx 0.6826 = 68.2\%[/tex][tex]P(X < 411) + P(X > 649) \approx 0.3174 \approx 31.7\%[/tex][tex]P(X > 768) \approx 0.0228 \approx 2.3\%[/tex]

How to get the z scores?

If we've got a normal distribution, then we can convert it to standard normal distribution and its values will give us the z score.

If we have

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

(X is following normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex])

then it can be converted to standard normal distribution as

[tex]Z = \dfrac{X - \mu}{\sigma}, \\\\Z \sim N(0,1)[/tex]

Using the z scores will help to find the probabilities from the z tables(available online).

Let for the given test, the test scores be tracked by a random variable X, then by the given data, we have:

[tex]X \sim N(530, 119)[/tex]

The needed probabilities are

[tex]P( 411 < X < 649 ) = P(X < 649) - p(X < 411)\\[/tex][tex]P(X < 411) + P(X > 649) = 1 - P(411 \leq X \leq 649) = 1 - P(411 < X < 649)[/tex][tex]P(X > 768) = 1 - P(X \leq 768)[/tex]

Converting the distribution to standard normal variate, the probabilities become

[tex]Z = \dfrac{X - 530}{119}\\\\Z \sim N(0, 1)[/tex]
The probabilities convert to

a) [tex]P( 411 < X < 649 ) = P(X < 649) - p(X < 411)\\[/tex]

[tex]P(\dfrac{411 - 530}{119} < Z < \dfrac{ 649 - 530}{119}) = P(-1 < Z < 1) = P(Z < 1) - P(Z < -1)[/tex]

(Know the fact that in continuous distribution, probability of a single point is 0, so we can write [tex]P(Z < a) = P(Z \leq a)[/tex] )

Also, know that if we look for Z = a in z tables, the p value we get is [tex]P(Z \leq a) = p \: value[/tex]

The p value at Z = 1 is 0.8413 and at Z = -1 is 0.1587,

Thus, [tex]P(411 < X < 649) = P(Z < 1) - P(Z < -1) = 0.8413 - 0.1587 = 0.6826[/tex]

b) [tex]P(X < 411) + P(X > 649) = 1 - P(411 \leq X \leq 649) = 1 - P(411 < X < 649)\\\\P(X < 411) + P(X > 649) = 1 - 0.6826 = 0.3174[/tex]

c) [tex]P(X > 768) = 1 - P(X \leq 768)[/tex]

[tex]P(X > 768) = 1 - P(Z < \dfrac{768 - 530}{119}) = 1 - P(Z < 2) = 1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228[/tex]

Rounding to one places of decimal, we get the answers as:

[tex]P( 411 < X < 649 ) \approx 0.6826 = 68.2\%[/tex][tex]P(X < 411) + P(X > 649) \approx 0.3174 \approx 31.7\%[/tex][tex]P(X > 768) \approx 0.0228 \approx 2.3\%[/tex]

Find the area of the parallelogram that has adjacent sides Bold u equals Bold i minus 2 Bold j plus 2 Bold kand Bold v equals 3 Bold j minus Bold k.

Answers

Answer:

The area of the parallelogram is [tex]A=\sqrt{26}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's rewrite these two vectors:

[tex]u=i-2j+2k[/tex]

[tex]v=0i+3j-k[/tex]    

Let's recall that the area of the parallelogram is the magnitude of the cross product between these vectors.            

We can use the Determinant method to find it.        

[tex]u \times v=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\1&-2&2\\0&3&-1\end{array}\right] = i((-2)*(-1)-2*3)-j(1*(-1)-2*0)+k(1*3-(-2)*0)=i(2-6)-j(-1)+k(3)=-4i+j+3k[/tex]

Now, the magnitude is the square root of each component squared. It will be:

[tex]|u \times v|=\sqrt{(-4)^{2}+(1)^{2}+(3)^{2}}=\sqrt{16+1+9}=\sqrt{26}[/tex]

Therefore the [tex]A=\sqrt{26}[/tex].      

I hope it helps you!

The area of the parallelogram formed by vectors u = i - 2j + 2k and v = 3j - k is 3[tex]\sqrt{10}[/tex] square units, calculated using the cross product formula.

To find the area of the parallelogram with adjacent sides u and v, where:

u = i - 2j + 2k

v = 3j - k

We can use the cross product of u and v to calculate the area. The magnitude of the cross product represents the area of the parallelogram formed by these vectors.

The cross product of two vectors u and v is given by:

u x v = |u| * |v| * sin(θ) * n

Where:

|u| and |v| are the magnitudes of u and v, respectively.

θ is the angle between u and v.

n is the unit vector perpendicular to the plane formed by u and v.

First, let's calculate the magnitudes of u and v:

|u| = [tex]\sqrt{(1^2 + (-2)^2 + 2^2)}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{(1 + 4 + 4)}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{9}[/tex]= 3

|v| = [tex]\sqrt{(0^2 + 3^2 + (-1)^2)}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{(0 + 9 + 1)}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{10}[/tex]

Now, let's find the angle θ between u and v. We can use the dot product formula:

u · v = |u| * |v| * cos(θ)

Since u · v = 0 (they are orthogonal), we have:

0 = 3 * [tex]\sqrt{10}[/tex] * cos(θ)

cos(θ) = 0

This means θ is 90 degrees (π/2 radians).

Now, we can calculate the area using the cross product formula:

Area = |u x v| = |u| * |v| * sin(θ)

Area = 3 * [tex]\sqrt{10}[/tex] * 1 (sin(π/2) = 1)

Area = 3[tex]\sqrt{10}[/tex] square units

So, the area of the parallelogram formed by the vectors u and v is 3[tex]\sqrt{10}[/tex]square units.

Heights of women are normally distributed with mean 63.7 inches and standard deviation 2.47 inches. Find the height that is the 10th percentile. Find the height that is the 80th percentile.

Answers

Answer: for 10th percentile, X = 60.53inches

for 80th percentile, X = 61.53 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

the relationship between the mean, standard deviation and the standard normal distribution is given as

X = μ + σZ

where μ is the mean and σ is the standard deviation of the variable X, and Z is the value from the standard normal distribution for the desired percentile.

Hence to determine the 10th and 80th percentile, we lookup the standard normal distribution table attached below,

from the table,

at 10th percentile Z = -1.282

at 80th percentile we interpolate between 75th percentile and 90th

(80 - 75)/(90 - 75) = (Z - 0.675)/(1.282 - 0.675)

5/15 = Z - 0.675/0.607

0.333*(0.607) = Z - 0.675

Z = 0.8771

hence the Z value for the 80th percentile is 0.8771

hence

X value for 10th percentile and 80th is calculated as

X = μ + σZ

since mean = 63.7 and standard deviation = 2.47

For 10th percentile

X = 63.7 + 2.47*(-1.282)

X = 60.53

for 80th percentile

X = 63.7 + 2.47*(0.8771)

X = 61.53

Final answer:

Height at 10th percentile: 61.53 inches

Height at 80th percentile: 65.78 inches

Explanation:

Given that the heights of women are normally distributed with a mean of 63.7 inches and a standard deviation of 2.47 inches, we can find the 10th and 80th percentiles using the Z-score formula in the context of a normal distribution.

The Z-score formula is given by: Z = (X - μ) / σ, where X is the value whose Z-score we're calculating, μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation.

To find the 10th and 80th percentiles, we first use Z-scores corresponding to these percentiles from a standard normal distribution table:

For the 10th percentile, Z ≈ -1.28For the 80th percentile, Z ≈ 0.84

We then apply the formula for each Z-score to find the heights corresponding to these percentiles:

Height at 10th percentile: X = Zσ + μ = (-1.28)(2.47) + 63.7 ≈ 61.53 inchesHeight at 80th percentile: X = Zσ + μ = (0.84)(2.47) + 63.7 ≈ 65.78 inches

Convert the data to centimeters​ (1 inchequals=2.54 ​cm), and recompute the linear correlation coefficient. What effect did the conversion have on the linear correlation​ coefficient?

Answers

Answer:

it is not affected by a change of units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the correlation coefficient has no dimensions, it is not affected by a change of units. Then it will remain the same after the conversion

In fact, the linear correlation coefficient ρ ,where

ρ = Cov (X,Y) / (σx*σy)

then the units [ ] of ρ are

[ρ] = [ Cov (X,Y) ] / [σx]*[σy] = σ²/σ² = 1 → dimensionless

is more useful than using covariance [ Cov (X,Y) ]  , since dividing by the standard deviations eliminates the units and standardise the variable

Answers

Answer:

(a) The histogram is shown below.

(b) E (X) = 4.2

(c) SD (X) = 2.73

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = r = a driver will tailgate the car in front of him before passing.

The probability that a driver will tailgate the car in front of him before passing is, P (X) = p = 0.35.

The sample selected is of size n = 12.

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 12 and p = 0.35.

The probability function of a binomial random variable is:

[tex]P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

(a)

For X = 0 the probability is:

[tex]P(X=0)={12\choose 0}(0.35)^{0}(1-0.35)^{12-0}=0.006[/tex]

For X = 1 the probability is:

[tex]P(X=1)={12\choose 1}(0.35)^{1}(1-0.35)^{12-1}=0.037[/tex]

For X = 2 the probability is:

[tex]P(X=2)={12\choose 2}(0.35)^{2}(1-0.35)^{12-2}=0.109[/tex]

Similarly the remaining probabilities will be computed.

The probability distribution table is shown below.

The histogram is also shown below.

(b)

The expected value of a Binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X)=np[/tex]

The expected number of vehicles out of 12 that will tailgate is:

[tex]E(X)=np=12\times0.35=4.2[/tex]

Thus, the expected number of vehicles out of 12 that will tailgate is 4.2.

(c)

The standard deviation of a Binomial distribution is:

[tex]SD(X)=np(1-p)[/tex]

The standard deviation of vehicles out of 12 that will tailgate is:

[tex]SD(X)=np(1-p)=12\times0.35\times(1-0.35)=2.73\\[/tex]

Thus, the standard deviation of vehicles out of 12 that will tailgate is 2.73.

Final answer:

To determine the probability distribution, create a histogram showing the possible values of r and their probabilities. The expected number of vehicles that will tailgate can be calculated by multiplying each value of r by its probability and summing up the results. The standard deviation can be found by calculating the variance and taking the square root of it.

Explanation:

In order to determine the probability distribution of the number of vehicles that tailgate before passing, we need to consider the given information. We know that about 35% of all drivers tailgate. Since we are passed by 12 vehicles, the number of vehicles that tailgate can range from 0 to 12. To create a histogram showing the probability distribution, we need to calculate the probability of each possible value of r and represent them in a bar graph.

(b) To compute the expected number of vehicles that will tailgate, we need to multiply each possible value of r by its corresponding probability and sum up the results. This will give us the average number of vehicles that tailgate out of the 12 vehicles that passed us.

(c) The standard deviation of this distribution can be calculated by determining the variance and taking the square root of it. Variance is calculated by summing up the squared differences between each value of r and the expected value, multiplying each squared difference by its corresponding probability, and summing up the results.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the extended Euclidean algorithm, find the multiplicative inverse of a. 1234 mod 4321 b. 24140 mod 40902

Answers

(a) The inverse of 1234 (mod 4321) is x such that 1234*x ≡ 1 (mod 4321). Apply Euclid's algorithm:

4321 = 1234 * 3 + 619

1234 = 619 * 1 + 615

619 = 615 * 1 + 4

615 = 4 * 153 + 3

4 = 3 * 1 + 1

Now write 1 as a linear combination of 4321 and 1234:

1 = 4 - 3

1 = 4 - (615 - 4 * 153) = 4 * 154 - 615

1 = 619 * 154 - 155 * (1234 - 619) = 619 * 309 - 155 * 1234

1 = (4321 - 1234 * 3) * 309 - 155 * 1234 = 4321 * 309 - 1082 * 1234

Reducing this leaves us with

1 ≡ -1082 * 1234 (mod 4321)

and so the inverse is

-1082 ≡ 3239 (mod 4321)

(b) Both 24140 and 40902 are even, so there GCD can't possibly be 1 and there is no inverse.

The multiplicative inverse of a number is simply its reciprocal

The multiplicative inverse of 1234 mod 4321 is [tex]\mathbf{ -1082 \equiv 3239\ (mod\ 4321)}[/tex].24140 mod 40902 as no multiplicative inverse.

To determine the multiplicative inverse of a mod b, one of a and b must not be an even number

(a) Multiplicative inverse of 1234 mod 4321

This can be written as:

[tex]\mathbf{1234 \times x \equiv 1\ (mod\ 4321)}[/tex]

When the extended Euclidean's algorithm is applied, we start by writing the expression in the following format:

[tex]\mathbf{Dividend = Quotient \times Divisor + Remainder}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{4321 = 1234 \times 3 + 619}[/tex]

Express 1234 using the above format

[tex]\mathbf{1234 = 619 \times 1 + 615}[/tex]

Repeat the process for all quotient

[tex]\mathbf{619 = 615 \times 1 + 4}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{615 = 4 \times 153 + 3}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{4= 3 \times 1 + 1}[/tex]

Next, we reverse the process as follows:

Make 1 the subject in [tex]\mathbf{4= 3 \times 1 + 1}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{1 = 4 - 3}[/tex]

Substitute an equivalent expression for 3

[tex]\mathbf{1 = 4 - (615 - 4 \times 153)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{1 = 4 - 615 + 4 \times 153}[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]\mathbf{1 = 4 + 4 \times 153 - 615 }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{1 = 4 \times 154 - 615 }[/tex]

Substitute an equivalent expression for 615

[tex]\mathbf{1 = 619 \times 154 - 155 \times (1234 - 619) }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{1 = 619 \times 309 - 155 \times 1234 }[/tex]

Substitute an equivalent expression for 619

[tex]\mathbf{1 =(4321 - 1234 \times 3) \times 309 - 155 \times 1234}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{1 = 4321 \times 309 - 1082 \times 1234}[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex]\mathbf{1234 \times x \equiv 1\ (mod\ 4321)}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{1 \equiv -1082 \times 1234\ mod(4321)}[/tex]

Add 4321 and -1082

[tex]\mathbf{4321 -1082 = 3239}[/tex]

Hence, the required inverse is:

[tex]\mathbf{ -1082 \equiv 3239\ (mod\ 4321)}[/tex]

(b) Multiplicative inverse of 24140 mod 40902

Recall that:

To determine the multiplicative inverse of a mod b, one of a and b must not be an even number

Because 24140 and 40902 are both even numbers, then:

24140 mod 40902 has no multiplicative inverse

A few fish species lay very big eggs and have big larvae with functioning gills from early on. However, most fish lay small eggs and the small larvae have no gills until later in life. In 2-3 sentences, discuss the need for gills in small vs. large fish larvae.

Answers

Answer:

For the exhange of ions and gases such as potassium, calcium and sodium, large fish larva have gills even in early stages. One other main reason is that large fish arvas mostly have circulating red cells after hatching phase while small fish larvae doesn't. So, for these reasons small fish larvae have no gills until later in life.

Select all the values that cannot be probabilities A.) 1 B.) square root of 2 C.) 0 D.) 0.04 E.) -0.54 F.) 3/5 G.) 5/3 H.) 1.29

Answers

Answer:

B.) square root of 2

E.) -0.54

G.) 5/3

H.) 1.29

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability of an event is how likely the event is to occur. It is always positive values, between 0% and 100%, or as decimals, between 0 and 1.

A.) 1

Can be a probability

B.) square root of 2

The square root of 2 is 1.41. 1.41 is higher than 1, so square root of 2 cannot be a probability

C.) 0

Can be a probability

D.) 0.04

0.04 = 4%

Can be a probability

E.) -0.54

Negative values cannot be probabilities

F.) 3/5

3/5 = 0.6 = 60%

Can be a probability

G.) 5/3

5/3 = 1.67

Higher than 1, so cannot be a probability

H.) 1.29

Higher than 1, cannot be a probability

Jack and Rodger both produce Sandwiches and Pies, and they both have 300 minutes of time available. It takes Jack 1 minutes to make a Sandwich, and 7 minutes to make a Pie. It takes Rodger 7 minutes to make a Sandwich and 1 minutes to make a Pie. What is the largest number of Sandwiches that Jack would be willing to trade away to get 4 Pies from Rodger

Answers

Answer:

28 sandwiches

Step-by-step explanation:

If Jack takes 7 minutes to make a pie, the time that would take Jack to produce 4 pies is:

[tex]t=4*7=28\ minutes[/tex]

Jack would be willing to trade away the amount of sandwiches he is able to produce in 28 minutes to get 4 pies from Rodger. In 28 minutes, the number of sandwiches Jack can produce is:

[tex]S=1*28=28\ sandwiches[/tex]

Jack would be willing to trade away 28 sandwiches for 4 pies.

Research seems to indicate that the optimum group size for problem solving is _____ members. Select one: a. 2 b. 15 c. 5 d. 25

Answers

Answer:

Correct answer is (c). 5

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to note that solving problem requires techniques and intelligent people most especially when problem are complex or hard in nature. It is therefore important to ensure the numbers of problem solving experts should not be undersized than required to avoid over burden them and should not be too large to avoid conflict in their individual resolutions. Hence, most scientific reports state that problem solving experts should be within 3 to 5 members and as for this question, the optimum is 5 members.

The manager of a radio station decides that on each successive evening (7 days per week), a Beethoven piano sonata will be played followed by a Beethoven symphony followed by a Beethoven piano concerto. For how many years could this policy be continued before exactly the same program would have to be repeated?

Answers

Answer:

3.945 years

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this problem, one must know that Beethoven has composed 32 piano sonatas, 9 symphonies and 5 piano concertos.

The number of different arrangements that can be made by playing a sonata, then a symphony and then a piano concerto is:

[tex]n=32*9*5=1,440[/tex]

If a year has 365 days, the number of years that this daily policy could be continued before exactly the same program would have to be repeated is:

[tex]y=\frac{1,440}{365}=3.945\ years[/tex]

The client asks an attorney with whom he previously had no professional relationship to help the client purchase an expensive apartment with cash. During a meeting to discuss the details of this purchase, the client tells the attorney that the client would like to structure the purchase so that it would be very difficult if not impossible for someone to find out that the client purchased the property. When the attorney asked why, the client winked and said "I don't like the government knowing what I am doing." The attorney agreed to accept the representation and said that he would structure the transaction so that the client was the sole shareholder in a corporation which owned another corporation which purchased the apartment with cash. This corporate structure made it extremely difficult for anyone to determine the client's identity as the purchaser of the property. The client had stolen the funds that were used to purchase the apartment.Is the attorney subject to discipline?(A) Yes, because Rule 1.16(a) requires a lawyer to reject representation if the representation will result in violation of law. Here, the attorney helped his client conceal assets, which is a violation of 18 U.S.C. 1956 because the assets were the proceeds of a crime.(B) No, because it is not illegal to create a corporation and thus the attorney may set up a corporation that owns another corporation that purchases real estate.
