Answer:
0.4
Step-by-step explanation:
we are required to find the probability that the ring is within 12 meters from nthe car.
we start by defining a random variable x to be the distance from the car. the car is the starting point.
x follows a normal distribution (0,30)
[tex]f(x)=\frac{1}{30}[/tex]
[tex]0<x<30[/tex]
probabilty of x ≤ 12
= [tex]\int\limits^a_ b{\frac{1}{30} } \, dx[/tex]
a = 12
b = 0
[tex]\frac{1}{30} *(12-0)[/tex]
[tex]\frac{12}{30} = 0.4[/tex]
therefore 0.4 is the probability that the ring is within 12 feet of your car.

(-8.-2)
(6.-10)
(-10.6)
Answer:
The correct answer is A
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(-8, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
y-x = 6
y + x = -10
Add the two equations together to eliminate x
y-x = 6
y + x = -10
--------------------
2y = -4
Divide by 2
2y/2 = -4/2
y = -2
Now find x
y+x = -10
-2+x = -10
x = -8
What is the value of x to the nearest tenth?
Answer:
x=9.6
Step-by-step explanation:
The dot in the middle represents the center of the circle, so therefore, the line that is represented by 16 is the radius. Since that is the radius, the side that is the hypotenuse of the small triangle is also 16, since they have the same distance.
The line represented by 25.6 with x as its bisector shows that when we divide it by 2, the other side of the triangle besides the hypotenuse is 12.8.
Now that we have the two sides of the triangle, we can find the last side (represented by x). Use pythagorean theorem:
[tex]a^2 +b^2=c^2\\x^2+(12.8)^2=16^2\\x^2+163.84=256\\x^2=92.16\\x=9.6[/tex]
Records indicate that x years after 2008, the average property tax on a three bedroom home in a certain community was T(x) =20x^2+40x+600 dollars.
Required:
a. At what rate was the property tax increasing with respect to time in 2008?
b. By how much did the tax change between the years 2008 and 2012?
Answer:
a) 40 dollars
b) 480 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the average property tax on a three bedroom home in a certain community modelled by the equation T(x) =20x²+40x+600, the rate at which the property tax is increasing with respect to time in 2008 can be derived by solving for the function T'(x) at x=0
T'(x) = 2(20)x¹ + 40x° + 0
T'(x) = 40x+40
At x = 0,
T'(0) = 40(0)+40
T'(0) = 40
Hence the property tax was increasing at a rate of 40dollars with respect to the initial year (2008).
b) There are 4 years between 2008 and 2012. To know how much that the tax change between the years 2008 and 2012, we will find T(4) - T(0)
Given T(x) =20x²+40x+600
T(4) =20(4)²+40(4)+600
T(4) = 320+160+600
T(4) = 1080 dollars
Also T(0) =20(0)²+40(0)+600
T(0) = 0+0+600
T(0)= 600 dollars
T(4) - T(0) = 1080 - 600
T(4) - T(0) = 480 dollars
Hence, the tax has changed by $480 between 2008 and 2012

Two charged particles, Q1, and Q2, are a distance r apart with Q2 = 5Q1 Compare the forces they exert on one another when F1 is the force Q2 exerts on Q1and F2 is the force Q1 exerts on Q2.
a) F2 = 5F1.
b) F2 =-5F1.
c) F2 = F1.
d) F2 = -F1.
e) 5F2 = F1.
Answer:
d) F2 = -F1.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to Coulomb's law of forces on electrostatic charges, the force of attraction is proportional to the product of their charges, and inversely proportional to the square of their distance apart.
What this law means is that both particles will experience an equal amount of force on them, due to the presence of the other particle. This force is not just as a result of their individual charges, but as a result of the product of their charges. Also, the force is a vector quantity that must have a direction alongside its magnitude, and the force on the two particles will always act in opposite direction, be it repulsive or attractive.
A company finds that the rate at which the quantity of a product that consumers demand changes with respect to price is given by the marginal-demand function Upper D prime (x )equals negative StartFraction 5000 Over x squared EndFraction where x is the price per unit, in dollars. Find the demand function if it is known that 1006 units of the product are demanded by consumers when the price is $5 per unit.
Answer:
q = 5000/x + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
D´= dq/dx = - 5000/x²
dq = -( 5000/x²)*dx
Integrating on both sides of the equation we get:
q = -5000*∫ 1/x²) *dx
q = 5000/x + K in this equation x is the price per unit and q demanded quantity and K integration constant
If when 1006 units are demanded when the rice is 5 then
x = 5 and q = 1006
1006 = 5000/5 +K
1006 - 1000 = K
K = 6
Then the demand function is:
q = 5000/x + 6

In 2018, the population of a district was 25,000. With a continuous annual growth rate of approximately 4%, what will the
population be in 2033 according to the exponential growth function?
Round the answer to the nearest whole number.
Answer:
40,000 populationsStep-by-step explanation:
Initial population in 2018 = 25,000
Annual growth rate (in %) = 4%
Yearly Increment in population = 4% of 25000
= 4/100 * 25000
= 250*4
= 1000
This means that the population increases by 1000 on yearly basis.
To determine what the population will be in 2033, we need to first know the amount of years we have between 2018 and 2033.
Amount of years we have between 2018 and 2033 = 2033-2018
= 15 years
After 15 years, the population will have increased by 15*1000 i.e 15,000 more than the initial population.
Hence the population in 2033 will be Initial population + Increment after 15years = 25,000+15000 = 40,000 population.
Which equation will solve the following word problem? Jared has 13 cases of soda. He has 468 cans of soda. How many cans of soda are in each case? 13(468) = c 468c = 13 468/13 = c 13 = c/468
Answer:
c = 468 / 13
Step-by-step explanation:
If c is the number of cans of soda in each case, we know that the number of cans in 13 cases is 13 * c = 13c, and since the number of cans in 13 cases is 468 and we know that "is" denotes that we need to use the "=" sign, the equation is 13c = 468. To get rid of the 13, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 13 because division is the opposite of multiplication, therefore the answer is c = 468 / 13.
Answer:
468/13 = c
Step-by-step explanation: Further explanation :
[tex]13 \:cases = 468\:cans\\1 \:case\:\:\:\:= c\: cans\\Cross\:Multiply \\\\13x = 468\\\\\frac{13x}{13} = \frac{468}{13} \\\\c = 36\: cans[/tex]

How to graph the line y=4/3x
Answer:
make a table of values
Step-by-step explanation:
then plot using those values
The required graph has been attached which represents the line y = 4/3x
What is a graph?A graph can be defined as a pictorial representation or a diagram that represents data or values.
We have been given the equation of a line below as:
y = 4/3x
Rewrite in slope-intercept form.
y = (4/3)x
Use the slope-intercept form to discover the slope and y-intercept.
Here the slope is 4/3 and y-intercept = (0, 0)
Any line can be graphed using two points. Select two x values, and plug them into the equation to find the corresponding y values.
When substitute the value of x = 0, then the value of y = 0, and When substitute the value of x = 3, then the value of y = -4,
Hence, the graph represents the line y = 4/3x
Therefore, the required graph of the line y=4/3x will be shown in the as attached file.

Identify whether the sampling method is simple random, systematic, stratified, cluster, or convenience. Explain.
In a nationwide study of registered voters conducted by The New York Times, 390 people are randomly selected out of those registered as Republicans, 430 people are randomly selected out of those registered as Democrats, and 180 people are randomly selected out of those registered as Independents.
Answer: stratified
Step-by-step explanation:
In stratified sampling, you divide the population into subgroups, or strata, with similar characteristics, like here we have divided the population into subgroups that depend on their political alignment. This is used when you can expect that the results have a noticeable variation between the different subgroups. Usually, you want to have the same number of population for eac subgroup, but sometimes it is hard for different reasons (not enough people in one subgroup, for example)
In cluster sampling we also use subgroups, but the subgroup itself is the unit of the sampling, while in this case, we are randomly selecting individuals of the given subgroups.
So this would be a "stratified sampling".
The radius of a right circular cylinder is increasing at the rate of 7 in./sec, while the height is decreasing at the rate of 6 in./sec. At what rate is the volume of the cylinder changing when the radius is 20 in. and the height is 16 in.
Answer:
[tex]\approx \bold{6544\ in^3/sec}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Rate of change of radius of cylinder:
[tex]\dfrac{dr}{dt} = +7\ in/sec[/tex]
(This is increasing rate so positive)
Rate of change of height of cylinder:
[tex]\dfrac{dh}{dt} = -6\ in/sec[/tex]
(This is decreasing rate so negative)
To find:
Rate of change of volume when r = 20 inches and h = 16 inches.
Solution:
First of all, let us have a look at the formula for Volume:
[tex]V = \pi r^2h[/tex]
Differentiating it w.r.to 't':
[tex]\dfrac{dV}{dt} = \dfrac{d}{dt}(\pi r^2h)[/tex]
Let us have a look at the formula:
[tex]1.\ \dfrac{d}{dx} (C.f(x)) = C\dfrac{d(f(x))}{dx} \ \ \ (\text{C is a constant})\\2.\ \dfrac{d}{dx} (f(x).g(x)) = f(x)\dfrac{d}{dx} (g(x))+g(x)\dfrac{d}{dx} (f(x))[/tex]
[tex]3.\ \dfrac{dx^n}{dx} = nx^{n-1}[/tex]
Applying the two formula for the above differentiation:
[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} = \pi\dfrac{d}{dt}( r^2h)\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} = \pi h\dfrac{d }{dt}( r^2)+\pi r^2\dfrac{dh }{dt}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} = \pi h\times 2r \dfrac{dr }{dt}+\pi r^2\dfrac{dh }{dt}[/tex]
Now, putting the values:
[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} = \pi \times 16\times 2\times 20 \times 7+\pi\times 20^2\times (-6)\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} = 22 \times 16\times 2\times 20 +3.14\times 400\times (-6)\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} = 14080 -7536\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} \approx \bold{6544\ in^3/sec}[/tex]
So, the answer is: [tex]\approx \bold{6544\ in^3/sec}[/tex]

3= (4 + 4 + 4)/4 or (4 x 4 - 4)/4
4 = 4 - (4 - 4)/4
5 = (4 x 4 + 4)/4
6 = 4 + (4 + 4)/4
7 = 4 - (4/4) + 4
8 = 4 + (4 x 4)/4
9 = 4 + 4 + (4/4)

Answer:
Points : ( 8, - 2π/3 ), ( - 8, π/3 ), ( - 8, - 5π/3 )
Step-by-step explanation:
For the first two cases, ( r, θ ) r would be > 0, where r is the directed distance from the pole, and theta is the directed angle from the positive x - axis.
So when r is positive, we can tell that this point is 8 units from the pole, so r is going to be 8 in either case,
( 8, 240° ) - because r is positive, theta would have to be an angle with which it's terminal side passes through this point. As you can see that would be 2 / 3rd of 90 degrees more than a 180 degree angle,or 60 + 180 = 240 degrees.
( 8, - 120° ) - now theta will be the negative side of 360 - 240, or in other words - 120
Now let's consider the second two cases, where r is < 0. Of course the point will still be 8 units from the pole. Again for r < 0 the point will lay on the ray pointing in the opposite direction of the terminal side of theta.
( - 8, 60° ) - theta will now be 2 / 3rd of 90 degrees, or 60 degrees, for - r. Respectively the remaining degrees will be negative, 360 - 60 = 300, - 300. Thus our second point for - r will be ( - 8, - 300° )
_________________________________
So we have the points ( 8, 240° ), ( 8, - 120° ), ( - 8, 60° ), and ( - 8, - 300° ). However we only want 3 cases, so we have points ( 8, - 120° ), ( - 8, 60° ), and ( - 8, - 300° ). Let's convert the degrees into radians,
Points : ( 8, - 2π/3 ), ( - 8, π/3 ), ( - 8, - 5π/3 )

A = 1/2(2)(2)
A = 1/2(4)
A = 2
Step 4: Find area of cube
A = 2²
A = 4
Step 5: Add all the values together
A = 15.75 + 5 + 2 + 4
A = 20.75 + 2 + 4
A = 22.75 + 4
A = 26.75
For the regression equation, Ŷ = +20X + 200 what can be determined about the correlation between X and Y?
Answer:
There is a positive correlation between X and Y.
Step-by-step explanation:
The estimated regression equation is:
[tex]\hat Y=20X+200[/tex]
The general form of a regression equation is:
[tex]\hat Y=b_{yx}X+a[/tex]
Here, [tex]b_{yx}[/tex] is the slope of a line of Y on X.
The formula of slope is:
[tex]b_{yx}=r(X,Y)\cdot \frac{\sigma_{y}}{\sigma_{x}}[/tex]
Here r (X, Y) is the correlation coefficient between X and Y.
The correlation coefficient is directly related to the slope.
And since the standard deviations are always positive, the sign of the slope is dependent upon the sign of the correlation coefficient.
Here the slope is positive.
This implies that the correlation coefficient must have been a positive values.
Thus, it can be concluded that there is a positive correlation between X and Y.
Raul and his friends each way 1/20 of a ton are standing on a truck scale . The total weight shown by the scale is 3/4 of a ton . How can I find the total number of people on the scale when Raul and his friends are weighed?
Answer: There are 15 friends.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that there is N friends (N is the number that we are looking for)
Each friend weights 1/20 ton.
Now, the weight of the N friends together is N times 1/20 ton.
Then we have:
N*(1/20) ton = 3/4 ton
We solve this for N.
First multiply both sides by 20.
20*N*(1/20) = N = 20*(3/4) = 60/4 = 15
Answer:
I can find the total number of people by dividing the total weight by the weight of one person.
Step-by-step explanation:
