Answer:
[tex]a = \frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's convert everything to sixths to make it easier to work with.
[tex]\frac{4}{6}a - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{2}{6}[/tex]
Add 1/6 to both sides:
[tex]\frac{4}{6}a = \frac{3}{6}[/tex].
Dividing both sides by 4/6:
[tex]a = \frac{3}{6} \div \frac{4}{6}\\\\a = \frac{3}{6} \cdot \frac{6}{4}\\\\a = \frac{18}{24}\\\\a = \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

An urn contains 9 red marbles, 6 white marbles, and 8 blue marbles marbles. A child randomly selects three (without replacement) from the urn. Find the probability all three marbles are the same color
Answer:
P(identical colours) = 160/1771 (0.0903 to four decimals)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given 9R, 6W and 8B marbles (total = 9+6+8 = 23)
Choose three without replacement.
Need probability three identical colours.
Use the multiplication rule.
P(RRR) = 9/23 * 8*22 * 7*21 = 12 / 253
P(WWW) = 6/23 * 5/22 * 4/21 = 20/1771
P(BBB) = 8/23 * 7/22 * 6/21 = 8/153
Probability of getting identical colours
= P(RRR)+P(WWW)+P(BBB)
= 160/1771 (0.0903 to four decimals)
Using the probability concept, it is found that there is a 0.0903 = 9.03% probability all three marbles are the same color.
-----------------
A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.The order in which the marbles are chosen is not important, and they are also chosen without replacement, which means that the combination formula is used to find the number of outcomes.-----------------
Combination formula:
[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
-----------------
The desired outcomes can be:
3 from a set of 9(all red).3 from a set of 6(all white).3 from a set of 8(all blue).Thus:
[tex]D = C_{9,3} + C_{6,3} + C_{8,3} = \frac{9!}{3!6!} + \frac{6!}{3!3!} + \frac{8!}{3!5!} = 160[/tex]
-----------------
The total outcomes are 3 from a set of 9 + 6 + 8 = 23. Thus:
[tex]T = C_{23,3} = \frac{23!}{3!20!} = 1771[/tex]
The probability is:
[tex]p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{160}{1771} = 0.0903[/tex]
0.0903 = 9.03% probability all three marbles are the same color.

Using the insurance company's assumptions, calculate the probability that there are fewer than 3 tornadoes in a 14-year period. Round your answer to four decimal places.
Answer: 19.2222
Step-by-step explanation:
given data;
no of tornadoes = 2,1,0 because it’s fewer than 3.
period = 14 years
probability of a tornado in a calendar year = 0.12
solution:
probability of exactly 2 tornadoes
= ( 0.12 )^2 * ( 0.88 )^11 * ( 14! / 2! * 11! )
= 0.0144 * 0.2451 * 1092
= 3.8541
probability of exac one tornado
= ( 0.12 )^1 * ( 0.88 )^12 * ( 14! / 1! * 12! )
= 0.12 * 0.2157 * 182
= 12.7109
probability of exactly 0 tornado
= ( 0.12 )^0 * ( 0.88 )^13 * ( 14! / 0! * 13! )
= 1 * 0.1898 * 14
= 2.6572
probability if fewer than 3 tornadoes
= 3.8541 + 12.7109 +2.6572
= 19.2222

The average daily volume of a computer stock in 2011 was ų=35.1 million shares, according to a reliable source. A stock analyst believes that the stock volume in 2014 is different from the 2011 level. Based on a random sample of 30 trading days in 2014, he finds the sample mean to be 32.7 million shares, with a standard deviation of s=14.6 million shares. Test the hypothesis by constructing a 95% confidence interval. Complete a and b A. State the hypothesis B. Construct a 95% confidence interval about the sample mean of stocks traded in 2014.
Answer:
a
The null hypothesis is [tex]H_o : \mu = 35 .1 \ million \ shares[/tex]
The alternative hypothesis [tex]H_a : \mu \ne 35.1\ million \ shares[/tex]
b
The 95% confidence interval is [tex]27.475 < \mu < 37.925[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question the we are told that
The population mean is [tex]\mu = 35.1 \ million \ shares[/tex]
The sample size is n = 30
The sample mean is [tex]\= x = 32.7 \ million\ shares[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 14.6 \ million\ shares[/tex]
Given that the confidence level is [tex]95\%[/tex] then the level of significance is mathematically represented as
[tex]\alpha = 100-95[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = 5\%[/tex]
=> [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]
Next we obtain the critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table
The value is [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96[/tex]
Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as
[tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{ \sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]E = 1.96 * \frac{ 14.6 }{\sqrt{30} }[/tex]
[tex]E = 5.225[/tex]
The 95% confidence interval confidence interval is mathematically represented as
[tex]\= x -E < \mu < \= x +E[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]32.7 - 5.225 < \mu < 32.7 + 5.225[/tex]

Maria operates a taco truck in her neighborhood. She has created a graph based on her business performance in the previous year. The price she currently sells tacos for is $2.30. Which two statements correctly interpret this graph? Revenue and Cost Functions 1)Maria’s business is incurring losses. 2)Maria’s costs are rising over time. 3)Maria is running a profitable business. 4)Maria’s total revenue exceeds her total profit. 5)Maria’s total profit exceeds her total revenue.
Answer:
3)Maria is running a profitable business.
4)Maria’s total revenue exceeds her total profit.
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph shows variation of revenue and cost with respect to price of product and not with respect to time .
The price of the product is 2.30 . From this graph , we see that at this price revenue exceeds total cost . So maria is running a profitable business .
Total profit can not exceed total revenue as
Total revenue - total cost = total profit .
So total profit will always be less than total revenue .
A researcher reports a 98% confidence interval for the proportion of Drosophila in a population with mutation Adh-F to be [0.34, 0.38]. Therefore, there is a probability of 0.98 that the proportion of Drosophola with this mutation is between 0.34 and 0.38. True or False
Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
The 98% is confidence interval its not a probability estimate. The probability will be different from the confidence interval. Confidence interval is about the population mean and is not calculated based on sample mean. Every confidence interval contains the sample mean. There is 98% confidence that the proportion of Drosophola with his mutation is between 0.34 and 0.38.

Answer:
a. The probability x = 2 cents = 7/22
b. The probability x = 6 cents = 35/66
c. The probability x = 10 cents = 5/33
d. The probability x = 11 cents= 28/33
e. The probability x = 15 cents = 20/33
f. The probability x = 20 cents = 14/33
g. The expected value of x = 5.9
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a binomial probability distribution. The number of trials is known .
a. The probability x = 2 cents.
Probability ( X=2) P( selecting 2 dimes)= 7C2 / 12c2
= 21 / 66 = 7/22
b. The probability x = 6 cents.
Probability ( X=6) P( selecting a nickel and a dime)= 5C1 * 7C1/ 12c2
= 5*7 / 66 = 35/66
c. The probability x = 10 cents.
Probability ( X=10) P( selecting two nickels )= 5C2 / 12c2)
= 10/ 66 = 5/33
d. The probability x = 11 cents.
Probability ( X=11) P( selecting a penny and a dime)= 8C1 * 7C1/ 12c2)
= 8*7 / 66 = 56/66= 28/33
e. The probability x = 15 cents.
Probability ( X=15) P( selecting a penny and a nickel)= 8C1 * 5C1/ 12c2)
= 8*5 / 66 = 40/66= 20/33
f. The probability x = 20 cents.
Probability ( X=20) P( selecting 2 pennies )= 8C2 / 12c2)
= 28 / 66 = 14/33
g. The expected value of x.
E(X) = np
E(X) = 2 * (8C2+ 5C2+ 7C2)/(8+5+7) = 2( 28+10+21)/20

the point p(-3,4) is reflected in the line x +2=0. find the coordinate of the image x
Answer:
(- 1, 4 )
Step-by-step explanation:
The line x + 2 = 0 can be expressed as
x + 2 = 0 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
x = - 2
This is the equation of a vertical line parallel to the y- axis and passing through all points with an x- coordinate of - 2
Thus (- 3, 4 ) is 1 unit to the left of - 2
Under a reflection in the line x = - 2
The x- coordinate will be the same distance from x = - 2 but on the other side while the y- coordinate remains unchanged.
Thus
(- 3, 4 ) → (- 1, 4 )

the function y= -16t^2 + 248, models the hight y in feet of a stone t seconds after it dropped from the edge of a vertical cliff. How long will it take the stone to hit the ground?
Answer:
[tex]t \: = 3.92 \: sec[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
When (t =0)
Height of cliff = 248 feet = 75.5m
Using Newton's equations of motion:
[tex]s = ut + \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2} [/tex]
75.5 = 0 * t + 4.9 * t^2
Solving further :
[tex]t \: = 3.92 \: sec[/tex]

A particular country has total states. If the areas states are added and the sum is divided by , the result is square kilometers. Determine whether this result is a statistic or a parameter.
Answer:
Some texts are missing from the question, I found a possible match, and here it is:
A particular country has total of 45 states. If the areas of 35 states are added and the sum is divided by 35, the result is 135,600 square kilometres. Determine whether this result is a statistic or a parameter.
Answer:
The result is a statistic because the data involved are samples.
Step-by-step explanation:
A Parameter is a numerical representation of an entire population. That is they are numbers summarizing data for an entire population. In this case, if all the 45 states were measured, the result would have been a parameter.
On the other hand, statistics are numbers that are subsets (representative portions) of an entire population. Since 35 states were chosen out of 45 states, the average area of the 35 states is a statistic and not a parameter.
What is the minimum sample size required to estimate a population mean with 90% confidence when the desired margin of error is 1.25
Complete Question
What is the minimum sample size required to estimate a population mean with 90% confidence when the desired margin of error is 1.25? The standard deviation in a pre-selected sample is 7.5
Answer:
The minimum sample size is [tex]n =97[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The margin of error is [tex]E = 1.25[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]s = 7.5[/tex]
Given that the confidence level is 90% then the level of significance is mathematically represented as
[tex]\alpha = 100 - 90[/tex]
[tex]\alpha =10\%[/tex]
[tex]\alpha =0.10[/tex]
Next we obtain the critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table
The value is [tex]Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } = 1.645[/tex]
The minimum sample size is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]n = \frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} * s^2 }}{E^2 }[/tex]
=> [tex]n = \frac{1.645^2 * 7.5^2 }{1.25^2 }[/tex]
=> [tex]n =97[/tex]

C.21(route)3/2
D. 21(route)2/2
Answer:
Option (D)
Step-by-step explanation:
By applying Sine rule in the right ΔABD,
Sin(A) = [tex]\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}[/tex]
Sin(60)° = [tex]\frac{\text{BD}}{\text{AB}}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{\text{BD}}{7\sqrt{3}}[/tex]
BD = [tex]7\sqrt{3}\times \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{21}{2}[/tex]
Now by applying Cosine rule in the right ΔBDC,
Cos(45)° = [tex]\frac{\text{Adjacent side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{\frac{21}{2}}{x}[/tex]
x = [tex]\frac{21}{2}\times \sqrt{2}[/tex]
x = [tex]\frac{21\sqrt{2}}{2}[/tex]
Therefore, Option (D) is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:
An operator wants to determine the standard deviation for a machine relative to its ability to produce windshield wipers conforming within their specifications. To do this, she wants to create a p-chart. Over a month's time, she tests 100 units every day and records the number of manufacturing defects. The average proportion of non-conforming windshield wipers is found to be 0.042. What is the standard deviation of this sample
Answer:
the standard deviation of the sample is less than 0.1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
The sample size n = 100 units
The average proportion of non-conforming windshield wipers is found to be 0.042 which is the defective rate P-bar
The standard deviation of the machine([tex]S_p[/tex]) can be calculated by using the formula:
[tex]S_p =\dfrac{ \sqrt{ \overline P \times (1 - \overline P)} }{n}[/tex]
[tex]S_p =\dfrac{ \sqrt{0.042 \times (1 -0.042)} }{100}[/tex]
[tex]S_p =\dfrac{ \sqrt{0.042 \times (0.958)} }{100}[/tex]
[tex]S_p =\dfrac{ \sqrt{0.040236} }{100}[/tex]
[tex]S_p =\dfrac{ 0.2005891323 }{100}[/tex]
[tex]S_p =0.002[/tex]
Thus , the standard deviation of the sample is less than 0.1

in feet above the ground after t seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that, a projectile is fired vertically upward from a height of 300 feet above the ground, with an initial velocity of 900 ft/s.
The general equation with which a projectile are modled by the function is given by :
[tex]h(t)=-16t^2+v_ot+y_o[/tex]
y₀ is the initial height above the ground
v₀ = initial velocity
So,
[tex]h(t)=-16t^2+900t+300[/tex]
This is the quadratic equation that models the projectile height in feet above the ground after t seconds.
