Answer:
let length be x
b = x - 3
perimeter = 2( l + b)
54 = 2(x+x-3)
27 = 2x - 3
30 = 2x
x = 15
l = 15
b = 15 - 3
b = 12

(b) Assuming the returns on successive days are independent of each other, what is the probability of having a negative daily return for two days in a row? (Use 3 decimals.)
(c) Give the boundaries of the interval containing the middle 80% of daily returns: (use 3 decimals) ( , )
(d) As part of its incentive program, any trader who obtains a daily return in the top 2% of historical returns receives a special bonus. What daily return is needed to get this bonus? (Use 3 decimals.)
Answer:
a) 0.321 = 32.1% probability of obtaining a negative daily return, on any given day.
b) 0.103 = 10.3% probability of having a negative daily return for two days in a row.
c) (-$1449.68, $3109.68)
d) A bonus of $4,488.174 is needed.
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal Probability Distribution
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Normal distribution with mean = $830 and standard deviation = $1,781.
This means that [tex]\mu = 830, \sigma = 1781[/tex]
(a) What is the probability of obtaining a negative daily return, on any given day?
This is the p-value of Z when X = 0, so:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{0 - 830}{1781}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.466[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.466[/tex] has a p-value 0.321.
0.321 = 32.1% probability of obtaining a negative daily return, on any given day.
(b) Assuming the returns on successive days are independent of each other, what is the probability of having a negative daily return for two days in a row?
Each day, 0.3206 probability, so:
[tex](0.321)^2 = 0.103[/tex]
0.103 = 10.3% probability of having a negative daily return for two days in a row.
(c) Give the boundaries of the interval containing the middle 80% of daily returns
Between the 50 - (80/2) = 10th percentile and the 50 + (80/2) = 90th percentile.
10th percentile:
X when Z has a p-value of 0.1, so X when Z = -1.28.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]-1.28 = \frac{X - 830}{1781}[/tex]
[tex]X - 830 = -1.28*1781[/tex]
[tex]X = -1449.68[/tex]
90th percentile:
X when Z has a p-value of 0.9, so X when Z = 1.28.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]1.28 = \frac{X - 830}{1781}[/tex]
[tex]X - 830 = 1.28*1781[/tex]
[tex]X = 3109.68[/tex]
So
(-$1449.68, $3109.68)
d) As part of its incentive program, any trader who obtains a daily return in the top 2% of historical returns receives a special bonus. What daily return is needed to get this bonus?
The 100 - 2 = 98th percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.98, so X when Z = 2.054.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]2.054 = \frac{X - 830}{1781}[/tex]
[tex]X - 830 = 2.054*1781[/tex]
[tex]X = 4488.174 [/tex]
A bonus of $4,488.174 is needed.

The water works commission needs to know the mean household usage of water by the residents of a small town in gallons per day. They would like the estimate to have a maximum error of 0.14 gallons. A previous study found that for an average family the standard deviation is 2 gallons and the mean is 16 gallons per day. If they are using a 95% level of confidence, how large of a sample is required to estimate the mean usage of water
Answer:
A sample of 784 is required to estimate the mean usage of water.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:
[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025[/tex]
Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].
That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.025 = 0.975[/tex], so Z = 1.96.
Now, find the margin of error M as such
[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.
The standard deviation is 2 gallons
This means that [tex]\sigma = 2[/tex]
They would like the estimate to have a maximum error of 0.14 gallons. How large of a sample is required to estimate the mean usage of water?
This is n for which M = 0.14. So
[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]0.14 = 1.96\frac{2}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]0.14\sqrt{n} = 1.96*2[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*2}{0.14}[/tex]
[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96*2}{0.14})^2[/tex]
[tex]n = 784[/tex]
A sample of 784 is required to estimate the mean usage of water.

If $6^x = 5,$ find $6^{3x+2}$.
If 6ˣ = 5, then
(6ˣ)³ = 6³ˣ = 5³ = 125,
and
6³ˣ⁺² = 6³ˣ × 6² = 125 × 6² = 125 × 36 = 4500
If two marbles are selected in succession with replacement, find the probability that both marble is blue.
Answer:
1 / 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Choosing with replacement means that the first draw from the lot is replaced before another is picked '.
Number of Blue marbles = 2
Number of red marbles = 4
Total number of marbles = (2 + 4) = 6
Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes
1st draw :
Probability of picking blue = 2 / 6 = 1 /3
2nd draw :
Probability of picking blue = 2 / 6 = 1/3
P(1st draw) * P(2nd draw)
1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9

Help please, I attached the question. Is it a!?

Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that for a quadratic equation of the form:
[tex]0=ax^2+bx+c[/tex]
The number of solutions it has can be determined using its discriminant:
[tex]\Delta = b^2-4ac[/tex]
Where:
If the discriminant is positive, we have two real solutions. If the discriminant is negative, we have no real solutions. And if the discriminant is zero, we have exactly one solution.We have the equation:
[tex]2x^2+5x-k=0[/tex]
Thus, a = 2, b = 5, and c = -k.
In order for the equation to have exactly one distinct solution, the discriminant must equal zero. Hence:
[tex]b^2-4ac=0[/tex]
Substitute:
[tex](5)^2-4(2)(-k)=0[/tex]
Solve for k. Simplify:
[tex]25+8k=0[/tex]
Solve:
[tex]\displaystyle k = -\frac{25}{8}[/tex]
Thus, our answer is indeed A.
A packing plant fills bags with cement. The weight X kg of a bag can be modeled by a normal distribution with mean 50kg and standard deviation 2kg. 4.
a. Find the probability that a randomly selected bag weighs more than 53kg.
b. Find the weight that is exceeded by 98% of the bags.
c. Three bags are selected at random. Find the probability that two weigh more than 53kg and one weighs less than 53kg.
Answer:
a) 0.0668 = 6.68% probability that a randomly selected bag weighs more than 53kg.
b) The weight that is exceeded by 98% of the bags is of 45.9 kg.
c) 0.0125 = 1.25% probability that two weigh more than 53kg and one weighs less than 53kg.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first two questions are solved using the normal distribution, while the third is solved using the binomial distribution.
Normal Probability Distribution
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
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.
The weight X kg of a bag can be modeled by a normal distribution with mean 50kg and standard deviation 2kg.
This means that [tex]\mu = 50, \sigma = 2[/tex]
a. Find the probability that a randomly selected bag weighs more than 53kg.
This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 53. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{53 - 50}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.5[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.5[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9332.
1 - 0.9332 = 0.0668.
0.0668 = 6.68% probability that a randomly selected bag weighs more than 53kg.
b. Find the weight that is exceeded by 98% of the bags.
This is the 100 - 98 = 2nd percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.02, so X when Z = -2.054.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]-2.054 = \frac{X - 50}{2}[/tex]
[tex]X - 50 = -2.054*2[/tex]
[tex]X = 45.9[/tex]
The weight that is exceeded by 98% of the bags is of 45.9 kg.
c. Three bags are selected at random. Find the probability that two weigh more than 53kg and one weighs less than 53kg.
0.0668 = 6.68% probability that a randomly selected bag weighs more than 53kg means that [tex]p = 0.0668[/tex]
3 bags means that [tex]n = 2[/tex]
Two above 53kg, which means that we want P(X = 2). So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{3,2}.(0.0668)^{2}.(0.9332)^{1} = 0.0125[/tex]
0.0125 = 1.25% probability that two weigh more than 53kg and one weighs less than 53kg.

a triangle has sides of 6 m 8 m and 11 m is it a right-angled triangle?
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
If we use the Pythagorean theorem, we can find if it is a right triangle. To do that, set up an equation.
[tex]6^{2}+8^{2}=c^2[/tex]
If the triangle is a right triangle, c would equal 11
Solve.
[tex]36+64=100[/tex]
Then find the square root of 100.
The square root of 100 is 10, not 11.
So this is not a right triangle.
I hope this helps!
Which side of the polygon is exactly 6 units long?
Answer:
AB is correct as It is the shorter parallel line
as the line measures 6 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
The polygon is a trapezoid / (trapezium Eng/Europe)
We see the given coordinates (2, 6) - (-4, 6) = x-6 y 0 = x = 6units
as x always is shown as x - 6 as x= 6
We can also show workings as y2-y1/x2-x1 = 6-6/-4-2 0/-6
y = 0 x = 6 = 6 units as its horizontal line.
when y is 6-6 = 0 then we know the line is horizontal for y = 0.
The difference of the measures -4 to 2 is 6units so if no workings we just add on from -4 to 2 and find the answer is 6 units long.
When looking at diagonal lines we still group the x's and y's and make the fraction whole.
When looking for solid vertical lines that aren't shown here we use the y values if showing workings and show x =0 to cancel out.

Assuming that the sample mean carapace length is greater than 3.39 inches, what is the probability that the sample mean carapace length is more than 4.03 inches
Answer:
The answer is "".
Step-by-step explanation:
Please find the complete question in the attached file.
We select a sample size n from the confidence interval with the mean [tex]\mu[/tex]and default [tex]\sigma[/tex], then the mean take seriously given as the straight line with a z score given by the confidence interval
[tex]\mu=3.87\\\\\sigma=2.01\\\\n=110\\\\[/tex]
Using formula:
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
The probability that perhaps the mean shells length of the sample is over 4.03 pounds is
[tex]P(X>4.03)=P(z>\frac{4.03-3.87}{\frac{2.01}{\sqrt{110}}})=P(z>0.8349)[/tex]
Now, we utilize z to get the likelihood, and we use the Excel function for a more exact distribution
[tex]=\textup{NORM.S.DIST(0.8349,TRUE)}\\\\P(z<0.8349)=0.7981[/tex]
the required probability: [tex]P(z>0.8349)=1-P(z<0.8349)=1-0.7981=\boldsymbol{0.2019}[/tex]
Describe the transformation of f(x) to g(x). Pleaseee helllp thank youuuu!!!
The transformation set of [tex]y[/tex] values for function [tex]f[/tex] is [tex][-1,1][/tex] this is an interval to which sine function maps.
You can observe that the interval to which [tex]g[/tex] function maps equals to [tex][-2,0][/tex].
So let us take a look at the possible options.
Option A states that shifting [tex]f[/tex] up by [tex]\pi/2[/tex] would result in [tex]g[/tex] having an interval [tex][-1,1]+\frac{\pi}{2}\approx[0.57,2.57][/tex] which is clearly not true that means A is false.
Let's try option B. Shifting [tex]f[/tex] down by [tex]1[/tex] to get [tex]g[/tex] would mean that has a transformation interval of [tex][-1,1]-1=[-2,0][/tex]. This seems to fit our observation and it is correct.
So the answer would be B. If we shift [tex]f[/tex] down by one we get [tex]g[/tex], which means that [tex]f(x)=\sin(x)[/tex] and [tex]g(x)=f(x)-1=\sin(x)-1[/tex].

Which of the following is a reason the administration should not calculate a confidence interval to estimate the proportion of all students who ride a bike to campus? Check all that apply.
a. The sample needs to be random but we don’t know if it is.
b. The actual count of bike riders is too small.
c. The actual count of those who do not ride a bike to campus is too small.
d. n*^p is not greater than 10.
e. n*(1−^p)is not greater than 10.
Answer:
b. The actual count of bike riders is too small.
d. n*p is not greater than 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
Confidence interval for a proportion:
To be possible to build a confidence interval for a proportion, the sample needs to have at least 10 successes, that is, [tex]np \geq 10[/tex] and at least 10 failures, that is, [tex]n(1-p) \geq 10[/tex]
Of the 123 students surveyed 5 ride a bike to campus.
Less than 10 successes, that is:
The actual count of bike riders is too small, or [tex]np < 10[/tex], and thus, options b and d are correct.

Distributive Property means you can multiply the outside and inside of parenthesis.
Addition Property... means you can add the same value to both sides of the equation without changing it. In this case you add 3x.
Subtraction Property... same as addition property, but with subtraction. In this case subtract 10 from both sides.
Division property... same as addition and subtraction properties but with division. In this case divide both sides by 8.
Technically the addition property can be used for the subtract 10 because you just add -10 and multiplication property could be used for the division, because you just multiply both sides by 1/8, but for the purpose of this equation, you would say subtraction and division.
