Answer:

  The triangle is not acute because 2² + 4² < 5²

Step-by-step explanation:

The square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with the given short sides would be 2² +4² = 20. So, that hypotenuse would be √20, about 4.47. The long side of this triangle is longer than that, so the angle opposite is larger than 90°. The triangle with sides 2, 4, 5 is an obtuse triangle.

  The triangle is not acute because 2² + 4² < 5²

Which Best Explains Whether A Triangle With Side Lengths 2 In., 5 In., And 4 In. Is An Acute Triangle?The
Answer 2

The triangle is not acute because 22 + 42 < 52.

Option C is the correct answer.

What is a triangle?

A triangle is a 2-D figure with three sides and three angles.

The sum of the angles is 180 degrees.

We can have an obtuse triangle, an acute triangle, or a right triangle.

We have,

To determine if a triangle is acute, we need to check whether all three angles of the triangle are acute angles (less than 90 degrees).

Pythagorean theorem,

- If the square of the length of the hypotenuse is greater than the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then the triangle is acute.

- If the square of the length of the hypotenuse is less than the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then the triangle is obtuse.

Now,

The triangle with side lengths 2 in., 5 in., and 4 in. is not a right triangle.

So we can't use the Pythagorean theorem directly.

Now,

We can check if the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides is greater than the square of the longest side.

2² + 4² = 4 + 16 = 20

5² = 25

Since 20 < 25, we know that the triangle is not acute.

Therefore,

The triangle is not acute because 22 + 42 < 52.

Use the value 3.14 for , and round your answer to the nearest whole number.
Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Answers

Answer:

381 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the pot = volume of a cylinder

Volume of the pot = πr²h

Where,

π = 3.14

radius (r) = 4.5 cm

h = 6 cm

Substitute

Volume of the pot = 3.14*4.5²*6

Volume of the pot = 381.51 ≈ 381 cm³ (nearest whole number)

Answer:

a) The probability that a randomly chosen specimen has an acceptable hardness is 0.7938.

b) If the acceptable range of hardness is (70-c, 70+c), then the value of c would 95% of all specimens have an acceptable hardness of 5.88.

c) Expected number of acceptable specimens among the ten is 7.938.

d) Binomial with n = 10 and p = P(X < 73.84)

[tex]p = P(Z <(73.84 - 70) / 3 ) = P(Z < 1.28) = 0.8997\\\\P(X <= 8) = 1 - P(X = 9) - P(X = 10)\\= 0.2650635[/tex]

Intravenous fluid bags are filled by an automated filling machine. Assume that the fill volumes of the bags are independent, normal random variables with a standard deviation of 0.08 fluid ounces.
(a)What is the standard deviation of the average fill volume of 22 bags?
(b)The mean fill volume of the machine is 6.16 ounces, what is the probability that the average fill volume of 22 bags is below 5.95 ounces?
(c)What should the mean fill volume equal in order that the probability that the average of 22 bags is below 6.1 ounces is 0.001?

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.0171 fluid ounces.

b) 0% probability that the average fill volume of 22 bags is below 5.95 ounces

c) The mean should be of 6.153 fluid ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Standard deviation of 0.08 fluid ounces.

This means that [tex]\sigma = 0.08[/tex]

(a)What is the standard deviation of the average fill volume of 22 bags?

This is s when n = 22. So

[tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]s = \frac{0.08}{\sqrt{22}}[/tex]

[tex]s = 0.0171[/tex]

(b)The mean fill volume of the machine is 6.16 ounces, what is the probability that the average fill volume of 22 bags is below 5.95 ounces?

We have that [tex]\mu = 6.16[/tex]. The probability is the p-value of Z when X = 5.95. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{5.95 - 6.16}{0.0171}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -12.3[/tex]

[tex]Z = -12.3[/tex] has a p-value of 0.

0% probability that the average fill volume of 22 bags is below 5.95 ounces.

(c)What should the mean fill volume equal in order that the probability that the average of 22 bags is below 6.1 ounces is 0.001?

[tex]X = 6.1[/tex] should mean that Z has a p-value of 0.001, so Z = -3.09. Thus

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]-3.09 = \frac{6.1 - \mu}{0.0171}[/tex]

[tex]6.1 - \mu = -3.09*0.0171[/tex]

[tex]\mu = 6.153[/tex]

The mean should be of 6.153 fluid ounces.

Median of the given data is 8.5.

What is median?

In statistics, the median is the middle value of the given list of data in order. Data or observations can be sorted in ascending or descending order.

Given data,

1 , 5, 12, 1, 121, 1, 121, 13

Arranging in ascending order

1, 1, 1, 5, 12, 13, 121, 121

Number of elements N = 8

When number of elements is odd

Median = (N/2 th term + (N/2)+1 th term)/2

Median = (8/2 th term + (8/2)+1 th term)/2

Median = (4th term + 5th term)/2

Median = (5+12)/2

Median = 17/2

Median = 8.5

Hence, 8.5 is the median of the given data.

When we expand (2x + 1/2)^6, what is the coefficient on the x^4 term?

Answers

Answer: The coefficient before x^4 is 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey! So I am not an expert at this, but you have to use the binomial theorem

I have attached of the Pascals Triangle (one shows the row numbering as well)

Basically in a pascal triangle, you add the two numbers above it to get the next number below

As you can see, the rows start from 0 instead of 1

The 6th row contains the numbers 1, 6, 15, 20, 15, 6, 1 which would be the coefficient terms

NOTE: the exponents always add to 6, the first term starts at 6 and decrease it's exponent by 1 each time (6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0) and the second term increases it's exponent by 1 each time (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

Using this information the third term from the sixth row (15) would be where it is x^4 (I have circled it on the second image)

It would be 15 × 2^4 × (1/2)^2 = 60

The reason why it is 2^4 and (1/2)^2 is because the third term has the exponents 4 and 2 (bolded on the NOTE) which means that the first term must be put to the power of 4 and the second term must be put to the 2nd power

Find the midpoint of the segment with endpoints at the midpoints of [tex]$s_1$[/tex] and [tex]$s_2$[/tex]. Express your answer as [tex]$(a,b)$[/tex].

Answers

Answer:

The midpoint of the segment with endpoints at the midpoints of s1 and s2 is (4,5).

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint of a segment:

The coordinates of the midpoint of a segment are the mean of the coordinates of the endpoints of the segment.

Midpoint of s1:

Using the endpoints given in the exercise.

[tex]x = \frac{3 + \sqrt{2} + 4}{2} = \frac{7 + \sqrt{2}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{5 + 7}{2} = \frac{12}{2} = 6[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]M_{s1} = (\frac{7 + \sqrt{2}}{2},6)[/tex]

Midpoint of s2:

[tex]x = \frac{6 - \sqrt{2} + 3}{2} = \frac{9 - \sqrt{2}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{3 + 5}{2} = \frac{8}{2} = 4[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]M_{s2} = (\frac{9 - \sqrt{2}}{2}, 4)[/tex]

Find the midpoint of the segment with endpoints at the midpoints of s1 and s2.

Now the midpoint of the segment with endpoints [tex]M_{s1}[/tex] and [tex]M_{s2}[/tex]. So

[tex]x = \frac{\frac{7 + \sqrt{2}}{2} + \frac{9 - \sqrt{2}}{2}}{2} = \frac{16}{4} = 4[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{6 + 4}{2} = \frac{10}{2} = 5[/tex]

The midpoint of the segment with endpoints at the midpoints of s1 and s2 is (4,5).

A polynomial function is shown below:

f(x) = x3 − 3x2 − 4x + 12

Which graph best represents the function? (5 points)

Answers

Answer:

Graph A (first graph from top to bottom)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given [tex]f(x)=x^3-3x^2-4x+12[/tex], since the degree of the polynomial is 3, the function must be odd and will resemble the shown shape in the graphs. The degree of 3 indicates that there are 3 zeroes, whether distinct or non-distinct. Therefore, the graph must intersect the x-axis at these three points.

Factoring the polynomial:

[tex]f(x)=x^3-3x^2-4x+12,\\f(x)=(x+2)(x-2)(x-3),\\\begin{cases}x+2=0, x=-2\\x-2=0, x=2\\x-3=, x=3\end{cases}[/tex]

Thus, the three zeroes of this function are [tex]x=-2, x=2, x=3[/tex] and the graph must intersection the x-axis at these points. The y-intercept of any graph occurs when [tex]x=0[/tex]. Thus, the y-coordinate of the y-intercept is equal to [tex]y=0^3-3(0^2)-4(0)+12,\\y=12[/tex] and the y-intercept is (0, 12).

The graph that corresponds with this is graph A.

Write the equation of the circle with center C(-5,8) and radius = 7

Answers

Answer:

( h + 5 )^2 + ( y - 8 ) ^2 = 49

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a circle:

( x - h )^2 + ( y - k )^2 = r^2

Where ( h , k ) = center and r = radius

We are given that the circle has a center at ( -5 , 8 ) meaning that h = -5 and k = 8

We are also given that the circle has a radius of 7 meaning that r = 7

Now that we have identified each variable we plug the values into the equation

( h - (-5)^2 + ( y - 8 )^2 = 7^2

Our final step is to simplify

we get that the equation of the circle is

( h + 5 )^2 + ( y - 8 ) ^2 = 49

b, Calculate the probability that in 6 consecutive months there is only one month that no customer in this area has a network problem that needs the help of technical staff​

Answers

Answer:

(a) average calls = 5  

(b) probability that there is exactly one call in 6 consecutive monts = 0.038

Step-by-step explanation:

Let event of a customer requiring help in a particular month = H

and event of a customer not requiring help in a particular month = ~H

Given

p= 0.01,  therefore

Number of households, n = 500.

Binomial distribution:

x = number of households requiring help in a particular month

P(x,n,p) = C(x,n)*p^x*(1-p)^(n-x)

where

C(x,n) = n!/(x!(n-x)!) is the the number of combinations of x objects out of n

(a) Average number of households requiring help = np = 500*0.01 = 5

(b)

Probability that there are no calls requiring help in a particular month

P(0), q= C(0,n)*p^0(1-p)^(n-0)

= 1*1*0.99^500

= 0.006570483

Applying binomial probability over six months,

q = 0.006570483

n = 6

x = 1

P(x,n,q)

= C(x,n)*q^x*(1-q)^(n-x)

= 6!/(1!*5!) * 0.006570483^1 * (1-0.006570483)^5

= 0.038145

Therefore the probability that in 6 consecutive months there is exactly one month that no customer has called for help = 0.038
