There are 8 books needing re-shelving in a library where 65% of the library's collection consists of reference books. Let X be the number of reference books a student helper re-shelves out of the 8 on her cart. a) What is the probability that all 8 of them are reference books

Answer:

(3,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4y=17

- 4x – 3y= - 18

Multiply the first equation by 4

4(3x + 4y=17 )

12x +16y = 68

Multiply the second equation by 3

3( - 4x – 3y= - 18)

-12x -9y = -54

Add the new equations together to eliminate x

12x +16y = 68

-12x -9y = -54

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

    7y = 14

Divide by 7

7y/7 = 14/7

y=2

Now find x

3x+4(2) = 17

3x+8 = 17

Subtract 8 from each side

3x+8-8 = 17-8

3x = 9

Divide by 3

x = 3

Answer and Step-by-Step explanation:

% increase = 100 x [(new price) - (original price)] / (original price)] = 100 (9.67 - 9.56) / 9.56

% increase ≅ 1.2% (to the nearest tenth)

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, recall the meanings of the domain and range.

The domain is the span of x-values covered by the graph.

And the range is the span of y-values covered by the graph.

1)

So, we have here an absolute value function.

As we can see, the domain of the function is all real numbers because the graph stretches left and right infinitely. Therefore, the domain of the function is:

[tex]\{x|x\in\textbb{R}\}[/tex]

(You are correct!)

For the range, notice how the function stops at y=7. The highest point of the function is (-2,7). There graph doesn't and won't ever reach above y=7. Therefore, the range of the graph is all values less than or equal to 7. In set notation, this is:

[tex]\{y|y\leq 7\}[/tex]

2)

We have here an ellipse.

First, for the domain. We can see the the span of x-values covered by the ellipse is from x=-4 to x=6. In other words, the domain is all values in between these two numbers and including them. Therefore, we can write it as such:

[tex]-4\leq x\leq 6[/tex]

So x is all numbers greater than or equal to -4 but less than or equal to 6. This describes the span of x-values. In set notation, this is:

[tex]\{x|-4\leq x\leq 6\}[/tex]

For the range, we can see that the span of x values covered by the ellipse is from y=-5 to y=1. Just like the domain, we can write it like this:

[tex]-5\leq y\leq 1[/tex]

This represents all the y-values between -5 and 1, including -5 and 1.

In set notation, thi is:

[tex]\{y|-5\leq y\leq 1\}[/tex]

Answer:

(- 1, 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The line x + 2 = 0 can be expressed as

x + 2 = 0 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

x = - 2

This is the equation of a vertical line parallel to the y- axis and passing through all points with an x- coordinate of - 2

Thus (- 3, 4 ) is 1 unit to the left of - 2

Under a reflection in the line x = - 2

The x- coordinate will be the same distance from x = - 2 but on the other side while the y- coordinate remains unchanged.

Thus

(- 3, 4 ) → (- 1, 4 )

Hi there! :)

Answer:

x = -7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting with:

3(2x + 2) = 3x - 15

Begin by distributing '3' with the terms inside of the parenthesis:

3(2x) + 3(2) = 3x - 15

Simplify:

6x + 6 = 3x - 15

Isolate the variable by subtracting '3x' from both sides:

6x - 3x + 6 = 3x - 3x - 15

3x + 6 = -15

Subtract 6 from both sides:

3x + 6 - 6 = -15 - 6

3x = -21

Divide both sides by 3:

3x/3 = -21/3

x = -7.

Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

3(2x+2) = 3x - 15

First, we should simplify on the left side.

6x + 6 = 3x - 15 ; Now we subtract six from both sides.

      -6          -6

6x = 3x - 21 ; next we just subtract 3x from both sides.

-3x   -3x

3x = -21

Finally, we divide 3 from both sides to separate the three from the x.

x = -7

Answer:

150

Step-by-step explanation:

70% of 500 people are adults and the remainder are children.

There are 150 children

Answer:

This is a binomial experiment .

Step-by-step explanation:

As the percent is not indicated the success is the amount of percent (if given) say it is 10 % . So p will be equal to = 0.1 and q will be = 1-0.1= 0.9

and n would be five or any number as a binomial experiment is repeated for a fixed number of times.

And x would take any value of n i.e.

X= 0,1,2,3,4,5

If it is 20 % . So p will be equal to = 0.2 and q will be = 1-0.2= 0.8

The probability is the number of the percent indicated. But as it is not indicated we assume it to be 10 % or 20 % .Or suppose any number for it to be a binomial experiment.

The number of trials n would be fixed .

The success remains constant for all trials.

All trials are independent.

Answer:

a

  The 95% confidence interval is  [tex]0.0503 < p < 0.1297[/tex]

b

The sample proportion is  [tex]\r p = 0.09[/tex]

c

The critical value is  [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96[/tex]

d

 The standard error is  [tex]SE =0.020[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  sample size is  n =  200

     The number of defective is  k =  18

The null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : p = 0.08[/tex]

The  alternative hypothesis is  [tex]H_a : p > 0.08[/tex]

Generally the sample proportion is mathematically evaluated as

            [tex]\r p = \frac{18}{200}[/tex]

            [tex]\r p = 0.09[/tex]

Given that the confidence level is  95% then the level  of significance is mathematically evaluated as

        [tex]\alpha = 100 - 95[/tex]

        [tex]\alpha = 5\%[/tex]

        [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Next we obtain the critical value of  [tex]\frac{ \alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table, the value is  

        [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96[/tex]

Generally the standard of error is mathematically represented as

          [tex]SE = \sqrt{\frac{\r p (1 - \r p)}{n} }[/tex]

substituting values

         [tex]SE = \sqrt{\frac{0.09 (1 - 0.09)}{200} }[/tex]

        [tex]SE =0.020[/tex]

The  margin of error is  

       [tex]E = Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } * SE[/tex]

=>    [tex]E = 1.96 * 0.020[/tex]

=>   [tex]E = 0.0397[/tex]

The  95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as

     [tex]\r p - E < \mu < p < \r p + E[/tex]

=>   [tex]0.09 - 0.0397 < \mu < p < 0.09 + 0.0397[/tex]

=>  [tex]0.0503 < p < 0.1297[/tex]

Mean = 16.153

Standard Deviation = 8.079

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data:

Number of Hours         Frequency               Amount Charged  

          1                                 16                                $3        

          2                                34                                 6  

          3                                51                                  12  

          4                                39                                 16  

          5                                34                                 21

          6                                 16                                 24

          7                                  9                                  27

          8                                 30                                 29

                                       ∑f = 229

a. Convert the information on the number of hours parked to a probability distribution:

The probability is calculated by dividing each frequency by 229. For example probability of Hour 1 is calculated as:

16 / 229 = 0.06987

This way all the hours probabilities are computed. The probability distribution is given below

Hours          Probability

   1                0.06987

   2               0.14847

   3               0.2227

   4               0.1703

   5               0.1485

   6               0.0699

   7               0.0393

   8               0.1310

   ∑                    1

a-2. Is this a discrete or a continuous probability distribution?

This is a discrete probability distribution as the probability of each hour of between 0 and​ 1 and the sum of all the probabilities of hours is 1.

b-1. Find the mean and the standard deviation of the number of hours parked.

First multiply each value of Number of hours by the corresponding frequency. Let x represents the number of hours and f represents frequency. Then:

Number of Hours Parked

fx

16

68

153

156

170

96

63

240

Now add the above computed products.

∑fx = 16+68+153+156+170+96+63+240  = 962

Compute Mean:

Now the formula to calculate mean:

Mean = Sum of the value / Number of value

         = ∑fx / ∑f

         = 962 / 229

Mean = 4.201

Compute Standard Deviation:

Let x be the Number of hours.        

Let f be the frequency

First calculate (x-x_bar) where x is each number of hours and x_bar is mean. The value of x_bar i.e. [tex]\frac{}{x}[/tex] = 4.201

For example for the Hour = 1 , and mean = 4.201

Then (x-[tex]\frac{}{x}[/tex]) = 1 - 4.201 = -3.201

So calculating this for every number of hour we get:

(x-[tex]\frac{}{x}[/tex])

-3.201

-2.201

-1.201

-0.201

0.799

1.799

2.799

3.799

Next calculate (x-[tex]\frac{}{x}[/tex])². Just take the squares of the above column (x-[tex]\frac{}{x}[/tex])

For example the first entry of below calculation is computed by:

 (x-[tex]\frac{}{x}[/tex])² = (-3.201 )² = 10.246401

  (x-[tex]\frac{}{x}[/tex])²

10.246401

4.844401

1.442401

0.040401

0.638401

3.236401

7.834401

14.432401

Next multiply each entry of  (x-[tex]\frac{}{x}[/tex])² with frequency f. For example the first entry below is computed by:

(x-[tex]\frac{}{x}[/tex])² * f = 10.246401  * 16 = 163.942416

(x-[tex]\frac{}{x}[/tex])² * f

163.942416

164.709634

73.562451

1.575639

21.705634

51.782416

70.509609

432.97203

Now the formula to calculate standard deviation is:

S = √∑(x-[tex]\frac{}{x}[/tex])² * f/n

Here

n = ∑f = 229

∑(x-[tex]\frac{}{x}[/tex])² * f  is the sum of all entries of (x-[tex]\frac{}{x}[/tex])² * f

∑(x-[tex]\frac{}{x}[/tex])² * f = 980.759829

S = √∑(x-[tex]\frac{}{x}[/tex])² * f/n

  = √980.759829  /  229

  = √4.2827940131004

  = 2.0694912449924

S = 2.069

b-2) How long is a typical customer parked?

That is the value of mean calculated in part b-1. Hence

Typical Customer Parked for 4.201 hours

c) Find the mean and the standard deviation of the amount charged.

First multiply each value of Amount Charged by the corresponding frequency. Let x represents the number of hours and f represents frequency. Then:

fx

48

204

612

624

714

384

243

870

Now add the above computed products.

∑fx = 48+204+612+624+714+384+243+870  = 3699

Compute Mean:

Now the formula to calculate mean:

Mean = Sum of the value / Number of value

         = ∑fx / ∑f

         = 3699 / 229

Mean = 16.153

Compute Standard Deviation:

Let x be the Amount Charged.        

Let f be the frequency.

First calculate (x-x_bar) where x is each value of Amount charged and x_bar is mean. The value of x_bar i.e. [tex]\frac{}{x}[/tex] = 16.153

For example for the Amount Charged = 3 , and mean = 16.153

Then (x-[tex]\frac{}{x}[/tex]) = 3 - 16.153 = -13.153

So calculating this for every number of hour we get:

(x-[tex]\frac{}{x}[/tex])

-13.153

-10.153

-4.153

-0.153

4.847

7.847

10.847

12.847

Next calculate (x-[tex]\frac{}{x}[/tex])². Just take the squares of the above column (x-[tex]\frac{}{x}[/tex])

For example the first entry of below calculation is computed by:

 (x-[tex]\frac{}{x}[/tex])² = (-13.153  )² = 173.001409

  (x-[tex]\frac{}{x}[/tex])²

173.001409

103.083409

17.247409

0.023409

23.493409

61.575409

117.657409

165.045409

Next multiply each entry of  (x-[tex]\frac{}{x}[/tex])² with frequency f. For example the first entry below is computed by:

(x-[tex]\frac{}{x}[/tex])² * f = 173.001409  * 16 =  

   (x-[tex]\frac{}{x}[/tex])² * f

2768.022544

3504.835906

879.617859

0.912951

798.775906

985.206544

1058.916681

4951.36227

∑(x-[tex]\frac{}{x}[/tex])² = 14947.65066

Now the formula to calculate standard deviation is:

S = √∑(x-[tex]\frac{}{x}[/tex])² * f/n

Here

n = ∑f = 229

∑(x-[tex]\frac{}{x}[/tex])² * f  is the sum of all entries of (x-[tex]\frac{}{x}[/tex])² * f

∑(x-[tex]\frac{}{x}[/tex])² * f = 14947.65066

S = √∑(x-[tex]\frac{}{x}[/tex])² * f/ ∑f

  = √65.273583668122

  = 8.0792068712295

S = 8.079

Answer:

Hello,

The answer would be,

A union B = {3,6,9,12}

and A intersection B= {6,9}

Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{ A\ union \ B = \{3,6,8,9,12\}}[/tex]

[tex]\huge\boxed{A\ intersection \ B = \{6,9\}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A = {3,6,9,12}

B = {6,8,9}

A∪B = {3,6,9,12} ∪ { 6,8,9}   [Union means all of the elements should be included in the set of A∪B]

=> A∪B = {3,6,8,9,12}

Now,

A∩B = {3,6,9,12} ∩ {6,8,9}  [Intersection means common elements of the set]

=> A∩B = {6,9}

Answer:

Mean = 108

Median = 45

The better measure of Lauren's "typical class size" is the Mean

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Calculating mean and median.

The mean is an important measure of central tendency, and it is the average of the measurement of a given set of data. It is calculated as follows:

[tex]Mean\ (\overline {X}) &= \frac{\sum X}{N}[/tex]

where X = individual data sets

N = total number of data

[tex]Mean= \frac{375\; +\ 35\ +\ 45\ +\ 25\ +\ 60}{5} \\=\frac{540}{5} \\= 108[/tex]

The Median divides the measurements into two equal parts, and in order to calculate the median, the distribution has to first be arranged in ascending or descending order. Arranging this series in descending order:

375, 60, 45, 35, 25

The formula for calculating median is given by:

[tex]M_{d} = \frac{N\ +\ 1}{2} th\ data\\\\=\frac{5\ +\ 1}{2}th\ data\\\\=\frac{6}{2} th\ data\\= 3rd\ data\\M_{d} = 45[/tex]

from the list or arranged data in descending order (375, 60, 45, 35, 25), the third data is 45.

Therefore, Median = 45

2. The better measure of typical class size is Mean because the mean depends on all the values of the data sets, whereas the median does not. When there are extreme values (outliers) the effect on the median is very small, whereas it is effectively captured by the mean.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

[tex]\mathtt{f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c}[/tex]

The derivative of the function of x is  [tex]\mathtt{f'(x) = 2ax + b}[/tex]

Thus; f(x) is increasing when f'(x) > 0

f(x) is decreasing when f'(x) < 0

i.e

f'(x) > 0 , when  b > 0  and a < 0

∴

2ax + b < 0

2ax < - b

[tex]\mathtt{x < \dfrac{-b}{2a}}[/tex]

f'(x) < 0 , when  b < 0  and a > 0

2ax + b > 0

2ax > - b

[tex]\mathtt{x > \dfrac{-b}{2a}}[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]\bold{cos\dfrac{A}{2} = -\dfrac{1}{\sqrt3}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

[tex]cosA=-\dfrac{1}3[/tex]

and

[tex]tanA > 0[/tex]

To find:

[tex]cos\dfrac{A}{2} = ?[/tex]

Solution:

First of all,we have cos value as negative and tan value as positive.

It is possible in the 3rd quadrant only.

[tex]\dfrac{A}{2}[/tex] will lie in the 2nd quadrant so [tex]cos\dfrac{A}{2}[/tex] will be negative again.

Because Cosine is positive in 1st and 4th quadrant.

Formula:

[tex]cos2\theta =2cos^2(\theta) - 1[/tex]

Here [tex]\theta = \frac{A}{2}[/tex]

[tex]cosA =2cos^2(\dfrac{A}{2}) - 1\\\Rightarrow 2cos^2(\dfrac{A}{2}) =cosA+1\\\Rightarrow 2cos^2(\dfrac{A}{2}) =-\dfrac{1}3+1\\\Rightarrow 2cos^2(\dfrac{A}{2}) =\dfrac{2}3\\\Rightarrow cos(\dfrac{A}{2}) = \pm \dfrac{1}{\sqrt3}[/tex]

But as we have discussed, [tex]cos\dfrac{A}{2}[/tex] will be negative.

So, answer is:

[tex]\bold{cos\dfrac{A}{2} = -\dfrac{1}{\sqrt3}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

B. The amount of money in a bank account never changes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equilibrium is achieved when the state of a reversible reaction of opposing forces cancel each other out. While in a state of equilibrium, the competing influences are balanced out. Imagine a cup with a hole in it being filled with water from a tap. The level of water in this cup would stay the same if the rate at which the water that flows inside is the same as the water that flows outside. Option B will be the correct answer because the amount of money going into the account is at the same rate of money coming out of the account.

Determine the probability of selecting a factor of 4!

First, we have to calculate 4!

[tex]4! = 4 * 3 * 2 * 1[/tex]

[tex]4! = 24[/tex]

Then, we list set of all factors of 24

[tex]Factors:\ \{1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24\}[/tex]

[tex]n(Factors) = 8[/tex]

The probability of selecting a factor if 24 is calculated as:

[tex]Probability = \frac{n(Factor)}{n(Set)}[/tex]

Substitute values for n(Set) and n(Factors)

[tex]Probability = \frac{8}{24}[/tex]

Simplify to lowest term

[tex]Probability = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Answer:

48.50 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

The collector has a total of 224 coins but 74 of them are 25 cents coins. So, in order to find the number of 20-cent coins we're going to subtract the number of 25-cent coins from the total.

Number of 20-cent coins = 224 - 74 = 150.

Thus, the collector has 150 20-cent coins and 74 25-cent coins for a total of 224 coins.

Now, to know the total value of the collection we need to multiply the value of the coins by the number of coins there are of this value (we are going to do it with the 20-cent and the 25-cent coins) and then sum up our results.

Total value = 74(25) + 150 (20) = 1850 + 3000 = 4850 cents.

So the total value is 4850 cents, we know that each dollar has 100 cents so, to express this number in dollars we are going to divide it by 100 and thus we have that the total value of the collection is 48.50 dollars.

Answer:

D) 3/2(X-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Invert and multiply to get:

3(x+4)/2(x²-16)

factor the bottom

3(x+4)/2(x+4)(x-4)

The (x+4)’s cancel out, and you’re left with

3/2(X-4)

[tex]\dfrac{{x+4\over2}}{{x^2-16\over3}}[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{3(x+4)}{2(x+4)(x-4)}=\frac{3}{2(x-4)} [/tex]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Both functions have the same slope

The slope is m in the equation; y =mx+c which is the formula for a straight line.

m = change in Y/change in x

Using 2 points: (1,3/4) and ( 4,3) from the table;

= (3 - 3/4) / ( 4 - 1)

= 2.25/3

= 0.75 which is 3/4 which is the same as the slope of the function in the equation.

The origin is the y-intercept for the function expressed in the table.

Slope of function in table is known to be 0.75. Find c to complete equation.

3 = 0.75 ( 4) + c

3 = 3 + c

c = 0

c is the y-intercept. The origin of a line is 0 so if c is 0 then the origin is the y intercept.

The table and the graph express an equivalent function.

The function for the table as calculated is;

y = 0.75x + 0

y = 0.75x

This is the same as the function for the equation for the graph which is y = 3/4x.

Answer:Both functions have the same slope.

The origin is the y-intercept for the function expressed in the table.

The table and the graph express an equivalent function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Compare the linear functions expressed below by data in a table and by an equation.

A 2-column table with 4 rows. Column 1 is labeled x with entries negative 6, negative four-thirds, 1, 4. Column 2 is labeled y with entries negative StartFraction 9 Over 2 EndFraction, negative 1, three-fourths, 3. y = three-fourths x.

Which of the following statements are true?  Select all that apply.

If the equation were graphed, it would be a horizontal line.

Both functions have the same slope.

The origin is the y-intercept for the function expressed in the table.

The linear equation does not have a y-intercept.

The table and the graph express an equivalent function.

Answer:

P (x= 5) =  0.0001

P(x=3) =  0.008699

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a binomial distribution .

Here p = 0.8  q= 1-p = 1-0.8 = 0.2

n= 15

So we find the probability for x taking different values from 0 - 15.

The formula used will be

n Cx p^x q^n-x

Suppose we want  to find the value of x= 5

P (x= 5) = 15C5*(0.2)^10*(0.8)^5 = 0.0001

P(x=3) = 15C3*(0.2)^12*(0.8)^3 =  9.54 e ^-7= 0.008699

Similarly we can find the values for all the trials from 0 -15  by substituting the values of x =0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15.

The value for p(x = 5) is 0.0001 and the value for p(x = 3) is 0.008699.

It is given that the 80% of all brand A external hard drives work in a satisfactory manner throughout the warranty period.

It is required to find the sampling distribution if n =15 samples.

It is defined as the probability distribution for the definite sample size the sample is the random data.

We have p =80% = 0.8 and q = 1 - p ⇒ 1 -0.8 ⇒ 0.2

n = 15

We can find the probability for the given x by taking different values from 0 to 15

the formula can be used:

[tex]\rm _{n}^{}\textrm{C}_x p^xq^{n-x}[/tex]

If we find the value for p(x = 5)

[tex]\rm _{15}^{}\textrm{C}_5 p^5q^{15-5}\\\\\rm _{15}^{}\textrm{C}_5 0.8^50.2^{10}[/tex]⇒ 0.0001

If we find the value for p(x = 3)

[tex]\rm _{15}^{}\textrm{C}_3 0.8^30.2^{12}\\[/tex] ⇒  

Similarly, we can find the values for all the trials from 0 to 15 by putting the values of x = 0 to 15.

Thus, the value for p(x = 5) is 0.0001 and the value for p(x = 3) is 0.008699.
