When do creative people get their best ideas? USA Today did a survey of 966 inventors (who hold U.S. patents) and obtained the following information.
Time of Day When Best Ideas Occur
Time Number of Inventors
6 A.M.-12 noon
12 noon-6 P.M.
6 P.M.-12 midnight
12 midnight-6 A.M. 295
138
311
222
Assuming that the time interval includes the left limit and all the times up to but not including the right limit, estimate the probability that an inventor has a best idea during each time interval: from 6 A.M. to 12 noon, from 12 noon to 6 P.M., from 6 P.M. to 12 midnight, from 12 midnight to 6 A.M. (Enter your answers to 3 decimal places.)

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]P(6am-12\ noon) = 0.305[/tex]

[tex]P(12\ noon - 6pm) = 0.143[/tex]

[tex]P(6pm-12\ midnight) = 0.322[/tex]

[tex]P(12\ midnight - 6am) =0.230[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\begin{array}{cc}{Time} & {Inventors} & {6am - 12\ noon} & {295} & {12\ noon -6pm} & {138} & {6pm - 12\ midnight} & {311} & {12\ midnight - 6am} & {222} & {Total} & {966} \ \end{array}[/tex]

Required

The probability of each time interval

To do this, we simply divide the number of inventors in the interval by the total inventors (966)

So, we have:

[tex]P(6am-12\ noon) = \frac{6am-12\ noon}{Total}[/tex]

[tex]P(6am-12\ noon) = \frac{295}{966}[/tex]

[tex]P(6am-12\ noon) = 0.305[/tex]

[tex]P(12\ noon - 6pm) = \frac{12\ noon - 6pm}{Total}[/tex]

[tex]P(12\ noon - 6pm) = \frac{138}{966}[/tex]

[tex]P(12\ noon - 6pm) = 0.143[/tex]

[tex]P(6pm-12\ midnight) = \frac{6pm-12\ midnight}{Total}[/tex]

[tex]P(6pm-12\ midnight) = \frac{311}{966}[/tex]

[tex]P(6pm-12\ midnight) = 0.322[/tex]

[tex]P(12\ midnight - 6am) =\frac{12\ midnight - 6am}{Total}[/tex]

[tex]P(12\ midnight - 6am) =\frac{222}{966}[/tex]

[tex]P(12\ midnight - 6am) =0.230[/tex]

Suppose X is a random variable with a mean of 10 and a variance of 100. Suppose Y is a random variable with a mean of 2 and a standard deviation of 16. Also, suppose X and Y are independent. What is the mean of 10 X + 3 Y?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]E(10x + 3y) =106[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]E(x) =10[/tex]

[tex]Var(x) = 100[/tex]

[tex]E(y) =2[/tex]

[tex]Var(y) = 16[/tex]

Required

[tex]E(10x + 3y)[/tex]

To do this, we make use of the following equation

[tex]E(ax + by) =aE(x) + bE(y)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]E(10x + 3y) =10 * E(x) + 3 *E(y)[/tex]

[tex]E(10x + 3y) =10 * 10 + 3 *2[/tex]

[tex]E(10x + 3y) =100 + 6[/tex]

[tex]E(10x + 3y) =106[/tex]

Samuel made a list of his test scores: 88, 100, 92, 80, 85, 94, and 90. What is the lowest test score he can get on his next test to have mean score of 90?

Answers

Answer:

he needs to get a 91 to have a mean score of 90

Step-by-step explanation:

add up all the known scores to get 629

let 's' = lowest test score

(629 + s) ÷ 8 = 90   [we divide by 8 because there are 7 known and 1 unknown score)

cross-multiply to get:

629 + s = 720

s = 720-629

s = 91

25 root 3 divided by 2
Base is 5. Height is 5 root 3
Multiply then divide by 2

Answer:

A= 21.65063509

Step-by-step explanation:

triangle area is =base*hight/2

Because we have a right triangle we can apply the trigonometric functions

sin30 =base/hypothenuse = base/10

cos 30 = hight/hypothenuse =hight/10

sin30 = base /10  ; multiply both sides by 10

base = 10*sin30

cos 30 = hight /10 ; multiply both sides by 10

hight = 10 cos 30

A= 10*sin30*10*cos30/2 =

      100*sin 30*cos 30/2=

Answers

Answer:

33 and 55

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{x}{y}: \frac{3}{5}[/tex]

x + y = 88

3 + 5 = 8

[tex]y(\frac{x}{y}): y(\frac{3}{5})[/tex]

[tex]x= \frac{3}{5}y[/tex]

[tex]y+\frac{3}{5}y=88[/tex]

[tex]\frac{8y}{5}=88[/tex]

[tex]5(\frac{8y}{5})=5(88)[/tex]

8y = 440

8y ÷ 8 = 440 ÷ 8

y = 55

x + y = 88

x + 55 = 88

x + 55 - 55 = 88 - 55

1. x = 126

angle POS = 33

2. x = 31

angle MOL = 118

Step-by-step explanation:

for question one, 147 degrees equals x + 21

so x = 126

147 plus 147 equals 294

360-294 equals 66

66/2 equals angle POS

angle POS = 33

for question 2, 62 degrees equals 2x

62 divided by 2 is 31

x = 31

62 + 62 = 124

360-124 = 236

A machine depreciate in value at the rate of 10% every year on reducing balance. if the original cost is 20000 and the scrapped value is 13122, how long has the equipment been used?

Answers

Mark Brainliest please


Answer: 10 years

Explanation:


The original cost of the machine = 20000

The scrap value of the machine = 13122

Value of the machine = ( 20000 - 13122 ) = 6878

Depreciation of the machine for the first year = ( 6878 * 10 % )
= 687.8
So, the effective life of the machine is = ( 6878 / 687.8 )
= 10 years

(a) If (x - 2)(x-5) <0 and x e N then find x.​

Answers

Answer:

x = 3 or x = 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following inequality:

[tex](x - 2)(x - 5) < 0[/tex]

It is a product, and a product is negative when one term is positive and the other is negative.

First case:

[tex]x - 2 > 0 \rightarrow x > 2[/tex]

And

[tex]x - 5 < 0 \rightarrow x < 5[/tex]

Thus, in the natural set: x = 3 and x = 4.

Second case:

[tex]x - 2 < 0 \rightarrow x < 2[/tex]

And

[tex]x - 5 > 0 \rightarrow x > 5[/tex]

Empty set.

Union of the cases:

Second case is the empty set, so we only count the first case. Thus x = 3 or x = 4.
