A die is rolled 5 times and a 5 or 6 is considered a success. Find the peobability of no success

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.1317 = 13.17% probability of no successes.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each toss, there are only two possible outcomes. Either there is a success, or there is not. The probability of a success on a toss is independent of any other toss, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [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]

And p is the probability of X happening.

A die is rolled 5 times.

This means that [tex]n = 5[/tex]

5 or 6 is considered a success.

2 out of 6 sides are successes, so:

[tex]p = \frac{2}{6} = 0.3333[/tex]

Find the probability of no success:

This is P(X = 0). So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{5,0}.(0.3333)^{0}.(0.6667)^{5} = 0.1317[/tex]

0.1317 = 13.17% probability of no successes.

Jack is 4 times as old as Lacy. 3 years from now the sum of their ages will be 71 . How old are they now?

Answers

Answer:

Lacy is 13 and Jack is 52

Step-by-step explanation:

In 3 years their ages will add up to 71 so you have to subtract 6 as there are two of them to get 65. Lacy's age is represented by x and since Jack is 4 times older his age is represented by 4x. So added together their age is 5x. So 5x=65. Then 65/5=13. So 13=x. So Lacy is 13 and Jack is 52 as 13x4 is 52.

Answer:

The area of a triangle is:

Area = 1/2(bh)

Area = 1/2(70)

Area = 35 square inches

Let me know  if this helps!

Answer:

A = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

10^2 + b^2 = 12^2

100 + b^2 = 144

144 - 100 = b^2

b^2 = 44

b = 6.6

6.6 x 10 = 66/2 = 33

7 - 6.6 = 0.4

10 x 0.4 = 4/2 = 2

There is 3m wide path around a circular cricket ground having the diameter of 137 m. Find the area of the path.​

Answers

Answer:

1320 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

area of ground = π r ^2

= (22/7) × (137/2)^2

= 14,747.0714286 m^2

area of ground and path

=( 22/7)(143/2)^2

= 16,067.0714286 m^2

area of path

=16,067.0714286 -14,747.0714286

= 1320 m^2

note :

r = radius = diameter /2

area of a circle = π r^2

diameter of circle created with path and ground = 137 + 2 × width of path

= 137 + 2× 3 = 143 m

The average weekly assignment score of students in a statistics class is 7 out of 10 points. The professor proposes new incentives to boost the score of the students (like providing internship contacts etc.) He hopes that the results of running this incentives plan for a trial during the next couple of weeks will enable him to conclude that the incentives he offers increase the average weekly assignment score of students. What is the null hypothesis.
A. The average weekly score is strictly more than or equal to 7.
B. The average weekly score is less than our equal to 7.
C. The average weekly score is strictly less than 7.
D. The average weekly score is strictly more than 7.

Answers

Answer:

B. The average weekly score is less than or equal to 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average weekly assignment score of students in a statistics class is 7 out of 10 points. Test if it has increased.

This means that at the null hypothesis it is tested that the mean score of the students has not increased, that is, it still is of at most 7, so:

[tex]H_0: \mu \leq 7[/tex]

And thus, the correct answer is given by option b.

Another example we can Solve  100=20e^2t .

Solution

100 = 20e^2t

5 = 20e ^2t

in 5 = 2t

Therefore  t = in5/ 2

Analysis

When we plan to use factoring to solve a problem, we always get zero on one side of the equation, because zero has the unique property that when a product is zero, one or both of the factors must be zero. We reject the equation  e^x=−7  because a positive number never equals a negative number. The solution  ln(−7)  is not a real number, and in the real number system this solution is rejected as an extraneous solution.

Another example is;

Solve  e^2x=e^x+2 .

Answer

Q&A: Does every logarithmic equation have a solution?

No. Keep in mind that we can only apply the logarithm to a positive number. Always check for extraneous solutions.

What is the locus of the midpoints of all chords that can be drawn from a given point on a circle with a radius of 6.

Answers

The locus of the midpoints of all chords that can be drawn from a given fixed point [tex](a,b)[/tex] on a circle with a radius of 6 units, is a circle of radius 3 units with center at a point whose x & y coordinates are shifted from the center of the given circle by [tex]\frac{a}{2}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{b}{2}[/tex] respectively.

Given: A circle of radius 6 units

To find: The locus of the midpoint of all chords that can be drawn from a given point on the circle.

To find the required locus, we need to know the following:

Locus of a moving point is the trajectory of that point. It is the geometrical figure represented by the equation which is satisfied by the coordinates of the moving point.A chord of a circle is a line segment joining any points of a circle.Equation of a circle with center at origin and radius of [tex]r[/tex] units is [tex]x^{2} +y^{2} =r^{2}[/tex] According to the midpoint formula, the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment joining the points [tex](x_{1},y_{1})[/tex] and [tex](x_{2},y_{2})[/tex] is [tex](\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }{2} ,\frac{y_{1}+y_{2} }{2} )[/tex]

Let, without loss of generality, the given circle be centered at the origin. Even if it is not, we can shift the origin to the center of the given circle with coordinate transformation.

Then, the equation of the given circle is [tex]x^{2}+y^{2} =6^{2}[/tex], that is, [tex]x^{2}+y^{2} = 36[/tex]

Let the coordinates of the given fixed point be [tex](a,b)[/tex]

Let the coordinates of any point on the circle be [tex](p,q)[/tex] and let the coordinates of the midpoint of the chord joining the points [tex](a,b)[/tex] and [tex](p,q)[/tex] be [tex](h,k)[/tex]

We have to find the locus of [tex](h,k)[/tex]

Then, using the midpoint formula,

[tex](h,k)=(\frac{a+p}{2} ,\frac{b+q}{2})[/tex]

On solving, we get,

[tex]p=2h-a,q=2k-b[/tex]

Since [tex](a,b)[/tex] and [tex](p,q)[/tex] are both points on the given circle, they satisfy the equation of the circle, [tex]x^{2}+y^{2} = 36[/tex]

Then,

[tex]a^{2} +b^{2} =36[/tex]

[tex]p^{2} +q^{2} =36[/tex]

Substituting [tex]p=2h-a,q=2k-b[/tex] in [tex]p^{2} +q^{2} =36[/tex], we have,

[tex](2h-a)^{2} +(2k-b)^{2} =36[/tex]

[tex](2(h-\frac{a}{2}) )^{2} +(2(k-\frac{b}{2}))^{2} =36[/tex]

[tex]4(h-\frac{a}{2})^{2} +4(k-\frac{b}{2})^{2} =36[/tex]

[tex](h-\frac{a}{2})^{2} +(k-\frac{b}{2})^{2} =\frac{36}{4}[/tex]

[tex](h-\frac{a}{2})^{2} +(k-\frac{b}{2})^{2} =9[/tex]

[tex](h-\frac{a}{2})^{2} +(k-\frac{b}{2})^{2} =3^{2}[/tex]

This is the locus of the point [tex](h,k)[/tex]

Replace [tex](h,k)=(x,y)[/tex] to get,

[tex](x-\frac{a}{2})^{2} +(y-\frac{b}{2})^{2} =3^{2}[/tex]

This is the equation of a circle with center at [tex](\frac{a}{2} ,\frac{b}{2} )[/tex] and radius 3 units.

Thus, we can conclude that the locus of the midpoints of all chords that can be drawn from a given fixed point [tex](a,b)[/tex] on a circle with a radius of 6 units, is a circle of radius 3 units with center at a point whose x & y coordinates are shifted from the center of the given circle by [tex]\frac{a}{2}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{b}{2}[/tex] respectively.

Jerod hopes to earn $1200 in interest in 4.9 years time from $24,000 that he has available to invest. To decide if it's feasible to do this by investing In an account that compounds monthly, he needs to determine the annual interest rate such an account would have to offer for him to meet his goal. What would the annual rate of interest have to be? Round to two decimal places

Answers

Answer:

The annual interest rate would have to be of 0.1%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound interest:

The compound interest formula is given by:

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

Where A(t) is the amount of money after t years, 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 year and t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.

Jerod hopes to earn $1200 in interest in 4.9 years time from $24,000 that he has available to invest.

This means that:

[tex]A(4.9) = 1200 + 24000 = 25200[/tex]

[tex]t = 4.9[/tex]

[tex]P = 24000[/tex]

Compounded monthly:

This means that [tex]n = 12[/tex]

What would the annual rate of interest have to be?

We have to solve for r, so:

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

[tex]25200 = 24000(1 + \frac{r}{12})^{12*4.9}[/tex]

[tex](1 + \frac{r}{12})^{12*4.9} = \frac{25200}{24000}[/tex]

[tex](1 + \frac{r}{12})^{58.8} = 1.05[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt[58.8]{(1 + \frac{r}{12})^{58.8}} = \sqrt[58.8]{1.05}[/tex]

[tex]1 + \frac{r}{12} = (1.05)^{\frac{1}{58.8}}[/tex]

[tex]1 + \frac{r}{12} = 1.00083[/tex]

[tex]\frac{r}{12} = 0.00083[/tex]

[tex]r = 12*0.00083[/tex]

[tex]r = 0.001 [/tex]

The annual interest rate would have to be of 0.1%.

In a model, a submarine is located at point (0, 0) on the coordinate plane. The submarine’s radar range has an equation of 2x2 + 2y2 = 128

Can the submarine’s radar detect a ship located at the point (6, 6) ? Mark that location on your graph, and explain how you know whether or not the ship will be detected in the space provided on the Circles Portfolio Worksheet.

Answers

Answer:

Remember that for a circle centered in the point (a, b) and with a radius R, the equation is:

(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = R^2

Here we know that the submarine is located at the point (0, 0)

And the radar range has the equation:

2*x^2 + 2*y^2 = 128

You can see that this seems like a circle equation.

If we divide both sides by 2, we get:

x^2 + y^2 = 128/2

x^2 + y^2 = 64 = 8^2

This is the equation for a circle centered in the point (0, 0) (which is the position of the submarine) of radius R = 8 units.

The graph can be seen below, this is just a circle of radius 8.

We also want to see if the submarine's radar can detect a ship located in the point (6, 6)

In the graph, this point is graphed, and you can see that it is outside the circle.

This means that it is outside the range of the radar, thus the radar can not detect the ship.
