All current-carrying wires produce electromagnetic (EM) radiation, including the electrical wiring running into, through, and out of our homes. High frequency EM is thought to be a cause of cancer; the lower frequencies associated with household current are generally assumed to be harmless. The following table summarizes the probability distribution for cancer sufferers and their wiring configuration in the Denver area.

Leukemia Lymphoma Other Cancers
High Frequency wiring 0.242 0.047 0.079
Low frequency wiring 0.391 0.098 ???
(a) What is the missing probability (labelled ???) in the above table?

(b) What is the probability of having high frequency wiring among cancer suffers in the Denver area?

(c) Is the event "Having Leukemia" independent of the event "Having high frequency frequency wiring"? Explain.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]x = 0.143[/tex]

[tex]P(High\ |\ Cancer) = 0.215[/tex]

Not independent

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for proper table

Solving (a): The missing probability

First, we add up the given probabilities

[tex]Sum = 0.242+0.047+0.079+0.391+0.098[/tex]

[tex]Sum = 0.857[/tex]

The total probability must add up to 1.

If the missing probability is x, then:

[tex]x + 0.857 = 1[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]x = -0.857 + 1[/tex]

[tex]x = 0.143[/tex]

Solving (b): P(High | Cancer)

This is calculated as:

[tex]P(High\ |\ Cancer) = \frac{n(High\ n\ Cancer)}{n(Cancer)}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]P(High\ |\ Cancer) = \frac{0.079}{0.242+0.047+0.079}[/tex]

[tex]P(High\ |\ Cancer) = \frac{0.079}{0.368}[/tex]

[tex]P(High\ |\ Cancer) = 0.215[/tex]

Solving (c): P(Leukemia) independent of P(High Wiring)

From the attached table

[tex]P(Leukemia\ n\ High\ Wiring) = 0.242[/tex]

[tex]P(Leukemia) = 0.242 + 0.391 =0.633[/tex]

[tex]P(High\ Wiring) = 0.242+0.047+0.079=0.368[/tex]

If both events are independent, then:

[tex]P(Leukemia\ n\ High\ Wiring) = P(Leukemia) * P(High\ Wiring)[/tex]

[tex]0.242 = 0.633 * 0.368[/tex]

[tex]0.242 \ne 0.232[/tex]

Since the above is an inequality, then the events are not independent

what is the measure of angle TSU?

Answers

Answer:

m<TSU = 65

Step-by-step explanation:

As one can see, the measure of angle (RST) is (90) degrees. This is indicated by the box around the angle. As a general rule, when there is a box around an angle, the angle measure if (90) degrees. It is also given that the measure of angle (RSU) is (25) degrees. As per the given diagram, the sum of the measures of angles (RSU) and (UST) is (RST). Therefore, one can form an equation and solve for the measure of angle (UST).

(RSU) + (UST) + (RST)

Substitute,

25 + (UST) = 90

Inverse operations,

25 + (UST) = 90

UST = 65

(<UST) is another way of naming angle (TSU).

Answer:

∠ TSU = 65°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ RST = 90°

∠ RSU + ∠TSU = ∠ RST , that is

25° + ∠ TSU = 90° ( subtract 25° from both sides )

∠ TSU = 65°

I have this math problem I can't solve.

"Evelyn and Meredith decided to kayak 1 mile up and then back in the Humboldt channel.

The rate of the water flowing in the channel was 2 miles per hour. The total time it took them to kayak up and back was 3 hours and 40 minutes. Assuming they were padding their double kayak at a fairly consistent rate, find the rate Evelyn and Meredith were paddling.

Step 2 - Draw a picture to model the problem.
Step 3 - Label variables and create a table.
Step 4 - Write an equation to model the problem.
Step 5 - Solve the equation. Provide supporting work and detail.
Step 6 - Explain the results."

If you can help please do.

Answers

Evelyn and Meredith were paddling at a rate of [tex]\frac{3+\sqrt{493}}{11}mph[/tex] which is equivalent to 2.29mph approximately.

Step 2: See attached picture

Step 3: In this case we only have different variables, there is the rate at which Evelyn and Meredith were paddling, the rate at which they moved when rowing upstream, the rate at which they moved when rowing downstream, the time it took them to paddle upstream and the time it took them to paddle downstream.

v = rate at which Evelyn and Meredith were paddling.

[tex]v_{up}[/tex]= velocity at which they were moving when paddling upstream.

[tex]v_{down}[/tex]= velocity at which they were moving when paddling downstreamstream.

[tex]t_{up}[/tex]= time it took them paddling upstream.

[tex]t_{down}[/tex]= time it took them paddling downstream

Se attached picture for the table.

Step 4: Building this equation will require us to combine different equations into a single one. Let's start with the equation for the final rate at which they paddled when rowing upstream.

[tex]v-2=v_{up}[/tex]

When rowing upstream, the current will drag the kayak, so we subtract it from the rate at which they were rowing.

Let's find the final rat at which they moved when rowing downstream.

[tex]v+2=v{down}[/tex]

next, the problem tells us it took them 3 hours and 40 minutes to row up and down the channel so we can convert it into just hours like this:

[tex]40min*\frac{1hr}{60min}=\frac{2}{3}hr[/tex]

[tex]3hr+\frac{2}{3}hr=\frac{11}{3}hr[/tex]

so now we can build our equation for time.

[tex]t_{up}+t_{down}=\frac{11}{3}[/tex]

We also know that the rate is built by dividing the distance over the time it took them to travel the distance, so:

[tex]v_{up}=\frac{1}{t_{up}}[/tex]

[tex]v_{down}=\frac{1}{t_{down}}[/tex]

If we solved each of those equations for their respective times, we would end up with the following:

[tex]t_{up}=\frac{1}{v_{up}}[/tex]

[tex]t_{down}=\frac{1}{v_{down}}[/tex]

so we can now combine all the equations together so we get:

[tex]t_{up}+t_{down}=\frac{11}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{v_{up}}+\frac{1}{v_{down}}=\frac{11}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{v-2}+\frac{1}{v+2}=\frac{11}{3}[/tex]

So this equation models the problem.

Step 5: We can solve this equation by multiplying everything by the LCD

In this case the LCD is:

3(v-2)(v+2)

so, when doing the respective multiplications we end up with:

[tex]\frac{3(v-2)(v+2)}{v-2}+\frac{3(v-2)(v+2)}{v+2}=\frac{11(3)(v-2)(v+2)}{3}[/tex]

We can now simplify to get:

3(v+2)+3(v-2)=11(v+2)(v-2)

We can now do the respective multiplications to get:

[tex]3v+6+3v-6=11(v^{2}-4)[/tex]

and we can further simplify:

[tex]6v=11v^{2}-44[/tex]

Step 5: So we can now solve it by using the quadratic formula, first, we need to rewrite the equation in standard form:

[tex]11v^{2}-6v-44=0[/tex]

So we can now use the quadratic formula:

[tex]v=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

we substitute:

[tex]v=\frac{-(-6) \pm \sqrt{(-6)^{2}-4(11)(-44)}}{2(11)}[/tex]

and simplify:

[tex]v=\frac{6 \pm \sqrt{36+1936}}{22}[/tex]

[tex]v=\frac{6 \pm \sqrt{1972}}{22}[/tex]

[tex]v=\frac{6 \pm \sqrt{4(493)}}{22}[/tex]

[tex]v=\frac{6 \pm 2\sqrt{493}}{22}[/tex]

[tex]v=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{493}}{11}[/tex]

this gives us two possible results:

[tex]v=\frac{3 + \sqrt{493}}{11}[/tex] and [tex]v=\frac{3 - \sqrt{493}}{11}[/tex]

Step 6: We only pick the first result since it's the positive result. We don't take the second one because a negative result represents the kayak moving in the opposite direction which is not how the situation was modeled.

C.P 0f 16 oranges is equal to the Sip of 22
oranges. find profit
percent
or LOSS

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

C.P of 16 oranges is equal to the SP of 22 oranges.

To calculate :

Profit or loss %.

Calculations :

LCM of 16 and 22 is 176.

Let the CP of 16 oranges be Rs. 176 and also let the SP of 22 oranges be Rs. 176.

So,

➝ CP of 16 oranges = Rs. 176

➝ CP of 1 orange = Rs. 176 ÷ 16

CP of 1 orange = Rs. 11

And,

➝ SP of 22 oranges = Rs. 176

➝ SP of 1 orange = Rs. 176 ÷ 22

SP of 1 orange = Rs. 8

______________

Here, CP is greater than SP. So, here is loss.

➝ Loss = CP ― SP

➝ Loss = Rs.(11 ― 8)

Loss = Rs. 3

______________

Finding the loss%,

★ Loss % = {(Loss/CP) × 100} %

➝ Loss % = {3/11 × 100} %

Loss % = 27.27 %

Therefore, loss% is 27.27%.

Answers

Answer:

B. b = 3a + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the equation in slope-intercept form as b = ma + c, where,

m = slope/rate of change

c = y-intercept/initial value

✔️Find m using any two given pair of values, say (2, 8) and (4, 14):

Rate of change (m) = change in b/change in a

m = (14 - 8)/(4 - 2)

m = 6/2

m = 3

✔️Find c by substituting (a, b) = (2, 8) and m = 3 into b = ma + c. Thus:

8 = 3(2) + c

8 = 6 + c

8 - 6 = c

2 = c

c = 2

✔️Write the equation by substituting m = 3 and c = 2 into b = ma + c. Thus:

b = 3a + 2
