Javier volunteers in community events each month. He does not do more than five events in a month. He attends exactly five events 25% of the time, four events 30% of the time, three events 20% of the time, two events 15% of the time, one event 5% of the time, and no events 5% of the time. Find the probability that Javier volunteers for less than three events each month. P (x < 3) = 2 Find the expected number of events Javier volunteers in a month. 3.6 It is given that x must be below a certain value, which limits the rows to use in the PDF table. What is the sum of the probabilities of those rows?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]P(x < 3) = 25\%[/tex]

[tex]E(x) = 3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters can be represented as:

[tex]\begin{array}{ccccccc}x & {5} & {4} & {3} & {2} & {1}& {0} & P(x) & {25\%} & {30\%} & {20\%} & {15\%} & {5\%} & {5\%} \ \end{array}[/tex]

Solving (a): P(x < 3)

This is calculated as:

[tex]P(x < 3) = P(x = 0) + P(x = 1) + P(x =2)[/tex] ----- i.e. all probabilities less than 3

So, we have:

[tex]P(x < 3) = 5\% + 5\% + 15\%[/tex]

[tex]P(x < 3) = 25\%[/tex]

Solving (b): Expected number of events

This is calculated as:

[tex]E(x) = \sum x * P(x)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]E(x) = 5 * 25\% + 4 * 30\% + 3 * 20\% + 2 * 15\% + 1 * 5\% + 0 * 5\%[/tex]

[tex]E(x) = 125\% + 120\% + 60\% + 30\% + 5\% + 0\%[/tex]

[tex]E(x) = 340\%[/tex]

Express as decimal

[tex]E(x) = 3.40[/tex]

Approximate to the nearest integer

[tex]E(x) = 3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = y = -1/2 × sqrt(x+3)

2y = -sqrt(x+3)

4y² = x + 3

x = 4y² - 3

now renaming this, so that the normal symbols and names are used for this function definition, so that the input variable is called "x" :

f-1(x) = 4x² - 3

basically, just by itself, this function would be defined for all possible real values of x.

but because it is the inverse of the original function, which generates only values of y<=0, then for the inverse function that same range applies for its input variable x

In a town. the population of registered voters is 46% democrat, 42% republican and 12% independent polling data shows 57% of democrats support the increase , 38% of republicans support the increase, and 76% of independents support the increase.

Required:
a. Find the probability that a randomly selected voter in the town supports the tax increase.
b. What is the probability that a randomly selected voter does not support the tax increase?
c. Suppose you find a voter at random who supports the tax increase. What is the probability he or she is a registered Independent?

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.513 = 51.3% probability that a randomly selected voter in the town supports the tax increase.

b) 0.487 = 48.7% probability that a randomly selected voter does not support the tax increase.

c) 0.1777 = 17.77% probability he or she is a registered Independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

Question a:

57% of 46%(democrats)

38% of 42%(republicans)

76% of 12%(independents)

So

[tex]P = 0.57*0.46 + 0.38*0.42 + 0.76*0.12 = 0.513[/tex]

0.513 = 51.3% probability that a randomly selected voter in the town supports the tax increase.

Question b:

1 - 0.513 = 0.487

0.487 = 48.7% probability that a randomly selected voter does not support the tax increase.

c. Suppose you find a voter at random who supports the tax increase. What is the probability he or she is a registered Independent?

Event A: Supports the tax increase.

Event B: Is a independent.

0.513 = 51.3% probability that a randomly selected voter in the town supports the tax increase.

This means that [tex]P(A) = 0.513[/tex]

Probability it supports a tax increase and is a independent:

76% of 12%, so:

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.76*0.12[/tex]

Thus

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.76*0.12}{0.513} = 0.1777[/tex]

0.1777 = 17.77% probability he or she is a registered Independent.

A random sample of 16 values is drawn from a mound-shaped and symmetric distribution. The sample mean is 12 and the sample standard deviation is 2. Use a level of significance of 0.05 to conduct a two-tailed test of the claim that the population mean is 11.5.

Answers

Answer:

we conclude that population mean is not 11.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypothesis :

H0 : μ = 11.5

H1 : μ ≠ 11.5

The test statistic :

(xbar - μ) ÷ (s/√(n))

Test statistic = (12 - 11.5) ÷ (2/√(16))

Test statistic = (0.5) ÷ (2 ÷ 4)

Test statistic = 0.5 / 0.5

Test statistic = 1

The Pvalue from test statistic value, df = n - 1 = 16 - 1 = 15

Pvalue = 0.333

Pvalue > α ; we fail to reject the null ; Hence, we conclude that population mean is not 11.5

If three sandwiches and two bags of chips cost
$22.00, and two sandwiches and one bag of chips
cost $14.25, how much does a bag of chips cost?

Answers

Answer:

Chips: 1.25 and Sandwiches: 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

3s+2c=22

2s+c=14.25

The cost of bag and chips should be 1.25 and 6.5.

The calculation is as follows:

3s+2c=22

2s+c=14.25

Here we need to multiply by 2 in equation 2

3s + 2c = 22

2s + 2c = 28.25

s = 6.5

Now

c should be

2(6.5) + c = 14.25

13 +  c = 14.25

c = 1.25

1/6 = -0.16

Since -0.16 is to the right of -0.65 it is more than, not less

The lowest cost of the tiles for George, for coring the considered triangular floor with the tiles of rate £39.95 per meter sq. is £226.3 approximately.

How can we interpret measurement of something?

Remember that volume, area, length etc all are measured relatively.

If you are 1.7 meters tall, then you're height is measured relative to meters. This is called unit of the measurement. It means that if we collect 1 meter and 0.7 meters too,they together will be equally tall as you.

Similarly, if we say that a triangle has area of 40 square inches, then it means that its area is equal to 40 squares of 1 inch sides.

In the same way, volume is measured usually relative to unit cubes. Like how many unit cubes (cubes with 1 unit length of their sides) can be fitted (without any overlap or gap, but can be sliced to make them fit inside) inside the considered shape.

For this case, the tiles we will use will have the same area as the area of the triangular floor.

The triangular floor is of height and base of size 305 cm and 371.5 cm

Since the price rate of tiles is in meter sq, so it would be better if we convert the legths specified in meters.

100 cm = 1 m

1 cm = 1/100 m

305 cm = 305/100 = 3.05 m

371.5 cm = 3.715 m

The area of a triangle is half of the product of its base and height.

Thus, we get:

Area of tiles that will be used = area of the considered triangular floor =

[tex]\dfrac{3.05 \times 3.715}{2} \approx 5.665 \: \rm m^2[/tex]

Since 1 sq. m cost £39.95, therefore, 5.665 sq. meters will cost [tex]5.665 \times 39.95 \approx 226.3 \: \rm euros[/tex]

Thus, the lowest cost of the tiles for George, for coring the considered triangular floor with the tiles of rate £39.95 per meter sq. is £226.3 approximately.

Use cross products to identify the equation needed to solve this proportion:

9

Answers

Answer:

x=22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the proportion:

5/x=2/9

Cross multiply. Multiply the numerator (top number) of the first fraction by the denominator (bottom number) of the second. Then multiply the denominator of the first by the numerator of the second.

5*9=2*x

45=2x

2 and x are being multiplied. The opposite of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 2. This will cancel out the 2 being multiplied by x, and leave x by itself.

45/2=2x/2

45/2=x

22.5=x

If we substitute 22.5 in for x, the final proportion will be:

5/22.5=2/9

A regression analysis between sales (in $1000s) and price (in dollars) resulted in the following equation: ŷ = 50,000 − 8x The above equation implies that an increase of _____. a. $8 in price is associated with an increase of $8,000 in sales b. $1 in price is associated with a decrease of $8,000 in sales c. $1 in price is associated with a decrease of $42,000 in sales d. $1 in price is associated with a decrease of $8 in sales

Answers

Answer:

b. $1 in price is associated with a decrease of $8,000 in sales

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear function:

A linear function has the following format:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

In which m is the slope, which represents by how much y changes when x changes by 1.

ŷ = 50,000 − 8x

This means that [tex]m = -8[/tex], in thousands of dollars, so when the price x increases by 1, the sales will be decrease by $8,000, and thus, the correct answer is given by option b.

The equation implies that an increase (b) $1 in price is associated with a decrease of $8,000 in sales

The regression equation is given as:

[tex]\^y= 50000 - 8\^x[/tex]

A linear regression equation is represented as:

[tex]\^y= b_o+ b_1\^x[/tex]

Where:

b1 represents the slope or the unit rate of the equation

By comparison:

[tex]b_1 =-8[/tex]

Because the value of b1 is negative;

Then it means that, the unit rate represents a decrement

Hence, the equation implies that (b) $1 in price is associated with a decrease of $8,000 in sales

How many boxes could you stack safely on a pallet if the pallet is 5 feet deep, five feet across, every box. is 1 x 1 and the maximum safe stacking height is 5 boxes? *

Answers

Answer:

25 boxes could be stacked safely on the pallet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many boxes could you stack safely on a pallet if the pallet is 5 feet deep, five feet across, every box is 1 x 1 and the maximum safe stacking height is 5 boxes, the following calculation should be performed:

Pallet = 5 x 5 = 25 square feet

Box = 1 x 1 = 1 square foot

25/1 = 25

Therefore, 25 boxes could be stacked safely on the pallet.

You want to make a playlist with all different songs. How many ways can you make a playlist of 16 songs if you must play Leavon, Dream on, Here Comes the Sun, and Clocks in that order?

Answer in permutations

Answers

Answer:  [tex]_{13} P _{13}[/tex]

Another acceptable answer is 13! where the exclamation mark is needed.

The numeric form is 6,227,020,800 which is a little over 6 billion.

==============================================================

Explanation:

Let's lump those four songs together to form a so called "mega song". So we treat those four items as one single item. This is ensure that those songs are played in the order we want. The other songs aren't treated this way.

We start with 16 songs and drop to 16-4 = 12 songs when taking out those four named songs. Then we add 1 to get 12+1 = 13 since we're adding in that "mega song" block.

---------------------------

So to recap so far, we've gone from 16 songs to 13 songs. The goal is to find out how many arrangements of 13 songs are possible. Order matters.

We'll use the nPr permutation function

[tex]_{n} P _{r} = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}\\\\[/tex]

where in this case n = 13 and r = 13. Your teacher doesn't want you to evaluate this function. You simply need to state the symbolic form. So that's why we go from [tex]_{n} P _{r}[/tex] to [tex]_{13} P _{13}[/tex]

If you wanted to answer this in terms of factorial notation, then you could say this

[tex]_{n} P _{r} = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}\\\\_{13} P _{13} = \frac{13!}{(13-13)!}\\\\_{13} P _{13} = \frac{13!}{(0)!}\\\\_{13} P _{13} = \frac{13!}{1}\\\\_{13} P _{13} = 13!\\\\[/tex]

So we can see that the notations [tex]_{13} P _{13}[/tex] and [tex]13![/tex] mean the exact same thing.

If you wanted to know the actual number of permutations, then,

13! = 13*12*11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 6,227,020,800

which is a little over 6 billion permutations.

A guide wire of length 108 meters runs from the top of an antenna to the ground. If the angle of elevation to the top of the antenna is 42.3 degrees, then what is the height of the antenna

Answers

Answer: Approximately 72.69 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Antenna height = h

[tex]sin(42.3)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} =\frac{h}{108} \\\\108*sin(42.3)=h\\\\h=72.685[/tex]

The height of the antenna by using the Pythagoras theorem is 72.68 meters.

What is trigonometry?

"Trigonometry is one of the branches of mathematics that deals with the relationship between the sides of a triangle (right triangle) with its angles".

For the given situation,

Length of guidewire = 108 meters

Angle of elevation = 42.3 degrees

Height of the antenna be 'h'.

By Pythagoras theorem,

[tex]Sine[/tex] θ = [tex]\frac{Perpendicular}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

On substituting the above values,

⇒ [tex]Sine 42.3 = \frac{h}{108}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]0.6730 =\frac{h}{108}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]h=0.6730[/tex] × [tex]108[/tex]

⇒ [tex]h= 72.68[/tex]

Hence we can conclude that the height of the antenna is 72.68 meters.

Find the third term of a geometric progression if the sum of the first three terms is equal to 12, and the sum of the first six terms is equal to (−84).

Answers

Given:

The sum of the first three terms = 12

The sum of the first six terms = (−84).

To find:

The third term of a geometric progression.

Solution:

The sum of first n term of a geometric progression is:

[tex]S_n=\dfrac{a(r^n-1)}{r-1}[/tex]

Where, a is the first term and r is the common ratio.

The sum of the first three terms is equal to 12, and the sum of the first six terms is equal to (−84).

[tex]\dfrac{a(r^3-1)}{r-1}=12[/tex]               ...(i)

[tex]\dfrac{a(r^6-1)}{r-1}=-84[/tex]               ...(ii)

Divide (ii) by (i), we get

[tex]\dfrac{r^6-1}{r^3-1}=\dfrac{-84}{12}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{(r^3-1)(r^3+1)}{r^3-1}=-7[/tex]

[tex]r^3+1=-7[/tex]

[tex]r^3=-7-1[/tex]

[tex]r^3=-8[/tex]

Taking cube root on both sides, we get

[tex]r=-2[/tex]

Putting [tex]r=-2[/tex] in (i), we get

[tex]\dfrac{a((-2)^3-1)}{(-2)-1}=12[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{a(-8-1)}{-3}=12[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{-9a}{-3}=12[/tex]

[tex]3a=12[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3.

[tex]a=4[/tex]

The nth term of a geometric progression is:

[tex]a_n=ar^{n-1}[/tex]

Where, a is the first term and r is the common ratio.

Putting [tex]n=3,a=4,r=-2[/tex] in the above formula, we get

[tex]a_3=4(-2)^{3-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_3=4(-2)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]a_3=4(4)[/tex]

[tex]a_3=16[/tex]

Therefore, the third term of the geometric progression is 16.
