Consider a political discussion group consisting of 4 Democrats, 9 republicans, and 4 independents. Suppose that two group members are randomly selected in succession to attend a political convention. Find the probability of selecting two Democrats.

Answers

Answer 1
All in all, we are selecting from a pool of 17 members (4+9+4 = 17). So seeing we have 4 democrats, the probability would be 4/17.

Normally we would simplify the fraction from there but 4/17 is already the simplified form. Therefore that is already the answer.

Which statement can be proved true using the given theorem?

Answers

Answer:

BF = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

18/12 = 1.5 * 6 = 9

Since DE and BF are parallel and DB and EF are parallel, they comprise a parallelogram. This means that DB = EF

DB = EF = 9

24/1.5 = 16

DE = 16

BF = 16

The statement which can be proven true using the given theorem (congruence) is Segment BF = 16.

Congruence theorem

By the congruence theorem;

We can conclude that triangles ABC and EFC are congruent triangles and as such have the ratio of corresponding sides to be equal.

Hence, AE/EC = BF/FC.

Therefore; 12/18 = BF/24

Hence, BF = 24× 12/18

BF = 16

After a special medicine is introduced into a petri dish full of bacteria, the number of bacteria remaining in the dish decreases rapidly.
The relationship between the elapsed time t, in seconds, and the number of bacteria, B(t) in the petri dish is modeled by the following function:

B(t) = 9300 x (1/64)^t

Complete the following sentence about the rate of change of the bacterial culture
The bacterial culture loses 1/2 of its size every_______ seconds

Answers

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find how long it takes for the bacteria to lose half its size. We can do this by taking one point of the bacteria and finding how long it takes to go to half its size. When t=0, 9300 * (1/64)^t = 9300 * 1 = 9300 as anything to the power of 0 is 1. Therefore, we can solve for t when the end result of the bacteria is 9300/2= 4650, making our equation

4650 = 9300 * (1/64)^t

divide both sides by 9300

1/2 = (1/64)^t

First, we can tell that 2^6 = 64*. Because of this, we can say that (1/2)^6 = 1^6/2^6 = 1/64, so (1/64)^(1/6) = 1/2. We know this because

(1/2)^6 = 64

take the 6th root of both sides

(1/2) = (64)^(1/6)

. This means that t=1/6, so the bacterial culture loses 1/2 of its size every 1/6 seconds

* if this is harder to figure out, e.g. 3 and 729, we can plug (log₃729) into a calculator

Find an equation of the tangent to the curve at the point corresponding to the given value of the parameter. x=t−t−1, y=1+t2, t=1

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I would find the point on the curve. By substituting t=1, I get (x, y). Next, I will try to eliminate the t and make a xy equation. In this case, the t's will cancel out in 'x=t-t-1" which wouldnt make this a curve. To find the equation of the tangent line, find the deretitave of the xy equation, and subsitute x in to find the slope at that point. Next, use point slope form to find the equation at the point.

Answer:

[tex]\text{Part A.}\\(-\frac{1}{8},0),\\(\frac{3}{2},0)\\\\\text{Part B.}\\(\frac{11}{16},\frac{169}{16})\\\\\text{Part C.}[/tex]

Draw a parabola concave down with vertex at [tex](\frac{11}{16},\frac{169}{16})[/tex]. Since the leading coefficient of the equation is -16, the parabola should appear thinner than its parent function [tex]y=x^2[/tex]. Ensure that the parabola passes through the points [tex](\(-\frac{1}{8},0)[/tex] and [tex](\frac{3}{2},0)[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

The x-intercepts of a function occur at [tex]y=0[/tex]. Therefore, let [tex]y=0[/tex] and solve for all values of [tex]x[/tex]:

[tex]0=-16x^2+22x+3[/tex]

The quadratic formula states that the real and nonreal solutions to a quadratic in standard form [tex]ax^2+bx+c[/tex] is equal to [tex]x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex].

In [tex]-16x^2+22x+3[/tex], assign:

[tex]a\implies -16[/tex] [tex]b\implies 22[/tex] [tex]c\implies 3[/tex]

Therefore, the solutions to this quadratic are:

[tex]x=\frac{-22\pm\sqrt{22^2-4(-16)(3)}}{2(-16)},\\x=\frac{-22\pm 26}{-32},\\\begin{cases}x=\frac{-22+26}{-32}=\frac{4}{-32}=\boxed{-\frac{1}{8}},\\x=\frac{-22-26}{-32}=\frac{-48}{-32}=\boxed{\frac{3}{2}}\end{cases}[/tex]

The x-intercepts are then [tex]\boxed{(-\frac{1}{8},0)}[/tex] and [tex]\boxed{(\frac{3}{2},0)}[/tex].

Part B:

The a-term is negative and therefore the parabola is concave down. Thus, the vertex will be the maximum of the graph. The x-coordinate of the vertex of a quadratic in standard form [tex]ax^2+bx+c[/tex] is equal to [tex]x=\frac{-b}{2a}[/tex]. Using the same variables we assigned earlier, we get:

[tex]x=\frac{-22}{2(-16)}=\frac{-22}{-32}=\frac{11}{16}[/tex]

Substitute this into the equation of the parabola to get the y-value:

[tex]f(11/16)=-16(11/16)^2+22(11/16)+3,\\f(11/16)=\frac{169}{16}[/tex]

Therefore, the vertex of the parabola is located at [tex]\boxed{(\frac{11}{16},\frac{169}{16})}[/tex]

Answer:

The equation will be "[tex]y=x-3[/tex]".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Points (12, 9) = (x, y)

⇒ [tex]x=9t^2+3[/tex]

then,

 [tex]\frac{dy}{dt}=18t[/tex]

or,

⇒ [tex]y=6t^3+3[/tex]

then,

 [tex]\frac{dy}{dt}=18t^2[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{18t^2}{18t}[/tex]

        [tex]=t[/tex]

By using the point slope form.

The equation of tangent will be:

Among 14 adults randomly selected from this area, only 3 reported that their health was excellent. Find the probability that when 14 adults are randomly selected, 3 or fewer are in excellent health. Group of answer choices

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability(P) (k events out of n trials) = nCk * p^k * (1-p)^(n-k), where p=0.40, n=10 and nCk is the number of combinations of n things taken k at a time

:

P ( k < or = 3 ) = P ( k = 3 ) + P ( k = 2 ) + P ( k = 1 ) + P ( k = 0 )

:

P ( k = 3 ) = 10C3 * (0.40)^3 * (0.60)^(10-3) = 0.2149

:

P ( k = 2 ) = 10C2 * (0.40)^2 * (0.60)^(10-2) = 0.1209  

:

P ( k = 1 ) = 10C1 * (0.40)^1 * (0.60)^(10-1) = 0.0403

:

P ( k = 0 ) = 10C0 * (0.40)^0 * (0.60)^(10-0) = 0.0060

:

******************************************************************************

P ( k < or = 3 ) = 0.2149 + 0.1209 + 0.0403 + 0.0060 = 0.3821 is approximately 0.38

The probability that when 14 adults are randomly selected and 3 or fewer are in excellent health is 0.072

What is probability ?

Probability shows possibility to happen an event, it defines that an event will occur or not. The probability varies from 0 to 1.

Given that,

The percentage of adults who reported their health was excellent = 44 %

The probability of excellent health P = 0.44

The probability of not excellent health = Q - 1 - 0.44 - 0.56

Since, 14 adults are randomly selected.

To find the probability that 3 or fewer are in excellent health,

Use formula

Probability = [tex]^nC_rP^n Q^{n-r}[/tex]

Where P = probability to happen an event, and Q= probability to not happen an event.

The probability that 3 or fewer are in excellent health

= [tex]^{14}C_3 (0.44)^3(0.56)^{14-3} +^{14}C_2(0.44)^2(0.56)^{14-2}+^{14}C_1 (0.44)^1(0.56)^{14-1} + ^{14}C_0 (0.44)^0(0.56)^{14}[/tex]

= 0.0526 + 0.0167 + 0.00328 + 0.000298

= 0.072282

The required probability is 0.072282.

Answers

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function to us is ,

[tex]\rm\implies f(x)= log_a(x) [/tex]

And its value at 7 is 2 , that is ,

[tex]\rm\implies f(x)= log_a(7) =2[/tex]

Taking this ,

[tex]\rm\implies 2= log_a(7) [/tex]

In general we know that ,

[tex]\bf\to log_a b = c ,\ then \ a^c = b [/tex]

Using this , we have ,

[tex]\rm\implies a^2 = 7 [/tex]

Squarerooting both sides ,

[tex]\rm\implies a =\sqrt{ 7 }[/tex]

Therefore , when x is 343 ,

[tex]\rm\implies f(343)= log_{\sqrt7} ( 343) [/tex]

We can write , 343 as 7³ ,

[tex]\rm\implies f(343)= log_{\sqrt7}7^3 [/tex]

[tex]\rm\implies f(343)= log_{7^{\frac{1}{2}}} 7^3 [/tex]

This can be written as ,

[tex]\rm\implies f(343)= \dfrac{ 3}{\frac{1}{2}} [/tex]

[tex]\rm\implies \boxed{\blue{\rm f(343)= 6 }}[/tex]

Hence the required answer is 6.

Answers

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Eccentricity [tex]e=0.203[/tex]

Minimum distance from the Sun [tex]d_s= 4.5 x 10^7 km[/tex]

Perihelion distance from a planet to the Sun is [tex]r= a(1 - e)[/tex]

Aphelion distance [tex]r'=a(1 + e)[/tex]

Generally the equation for Perihelion distance is mathematically given by

 [tex]4.5 * 10^7= a(1 - 0.203)[/tex]

 [tex]4.5 * 10^7 = 0.797a[/tex]

 [tex]a = 56.46 * 10^6 km[/tex]

Generally the equation for Aperihelion distance is mathematically given by

 [tex]r' = a(1 + e)[/tex]
