15. Mark Twain one observed that the lower Mississippi River is very crooked and that over the years, as the bends and turns straighten out, the river gets shorter and shorter. Using numerical data about the length of the lower part of the river, he noticed that in the year 1700 the river was more than 1200 miles long, yet by the year 1875 it was only 973 miles long. Twain concluded that any person “can see that 742 years from now the lower Mississippi will be only a mile and three-quarters lone.” What is wrong with his inductive reasoning?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm sure he was making a joke at the expense of people who rely on mathematics rather than common sense. It is funny, but then Twain was a remarkably funny author..

The problem is that the comparison is apt using some sort of proportion, but it is absurd to think that the land holding the river would also shrink a proportional amount.  

The river reached a minimum (presumably) in 1875 by cutting out all the loops that were there in 1700. The Mississippi was then a straight line from it's beginning to its delta on the gulf of Mexico. It could not get any shorter. Still, Twain managed to get laughs with his whimsical humor.

Cenntura was having fun playing poker she needed the next two cards out to be heart so she could make a flesh five cards of the same suit there are 10 cards left on the deck and three our hearts what is the probability that two cards doubt to Seterra without replacement will both be hearts answer choices are in percentage for format rounded to the nearest whole number

Answers

Answer:

7% probability that the next 2 cards are hearts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cards are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

[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]

In this question:

10 cards, which means that [tex]N = 10[/tex]

3 are hearts, which means that [tex]k = 3[/tex]

Probability that the next 2 cards are hearts:

This is P(X = 2) when n = 2. So

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = h(2,10,2,3) = \frac{C_{3,2}*C_{7,0}}{C_{10,2}} = 0.0667[/tex]

0.0667*100% = 6.67%

Rounded to the nearest whole number, 7% probability that the next 2 cards are hearts.

If f(x) =4x2 - 8x - 20 and g(x) = 2x + a, find the value of a so that the y-intercept of the graph of the composite function (fog)(x) is (0, 25).

Answers

Answer:

The possible values are a = -2.5 or a = 4.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Composite function:

The composite function of f(x) and g(x) is given by:

[tex](f \circ g)(x) = f(g(x))[/tex]

In this case:

[tex]f(x) = 4x^2 - 8x - 20[/tex]

[tex]g(x) = 2x + a[/tex]

So

[tex](f \circ g)(x) = f(g(x)) = f(2x + a) = 4(2x + a)^2 - 8(2x + a) - 20 = 4(4x^2 + 4ax + a^2) - 16x - 8a - 20 = 16x^2 + 16ax + 4a^2 - 16x - 8a - 20 = 16x^2 +(16a-16)x + 4a^2 - 8a - 20[/tex]

Value of a so that the y-intercept of the graph of the composite function (fog)(x) is (0, 25).

This means that when [tex]x = 0, f(g(x)) = 25[/tex]. So

[tex]4a^2 - 8a - 20 = 25[/tex]

[tex]4a^2 - 8a - 45 = 0[/tex]

Solving a quadratic equation, by Bhaskara:

[tex]\Delta = (-8)^2 - 4(4)(-45) = 784[/tex]

[tex]x_{1} = \frac{-(-8) + \sqrt{784}}{2*(4)} = \frac{36}{8} = 4.5[/tex]

[tex]x_{2} = \frac{-(-8) - \sqrt{784}}{2*(4)} = -\frac{20}{8} = -2.5[/tex]

The possible values are a = -2.5 or a = 4.5.

Notice that for 3 out of the 4 numbers, there is a relationship between the x and the y coordinate of the number; for 3+i, -2i, -2-4i we have that the real part is larger by 2 from the imaginary part. Thus, the points are on the same line in the imaginary plane; they satisfy x=y+2 or Re{z}=Im{z}+2. However, 2-4i does not satisfy this equation since 2 is not equal to -4+2. Hence, this point does not belong to the line that the other 3 points define.

The greatest common factor of 45a^2b^3 and 18a^4b

Answers

Answer:

9a²b

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We need to find the greatest common factor out of 45a²b³ and 18[tex]a^{4}[/tex]b

We can split apart the monomials to make it easier

45a²b³ is 45*a²b³

18[tex]a^{4}[/tex]b is 18*[tex]a^{4}[/tex]b

First, let's find the GCF out of 45 and 18 (the number coefficients)

we can find all of the multiples of the 2 numbers:

45 is made up of 9 and 5

9 is made up of 3 and 3

so 3*3*5 is 45

18 is made up of 2 and 9

9 is made up of 3 and 3

so 2*3*3 is 18

3*3 is in both 45 and 18, so 9 is the GCF out of 45 and 18

Now let's find the GCF out of a²b³ and [tex]a^{4}[/tex]b

a²b³ made up of a² and b³

so a²b³ is a*a*b*b*b

[tex]a^{4}[/tex]b is made up of [tex]a^{4}[/tex] and b

so [tex]a^{4}[/tex]b is a*a*a*a*b

a*a*b is in both a²b³ and [tex]a^{4}[/tex]b, so the GCF out of a²b³ and [tex]a^{4}[/tex]b is a²b

Now multiply 9 and a²b together, as they are only the GCF of the parts of the monomials

9*a²b=9a²b

there's the greatest common factor of the 2 monomials

Hope this helps!

A bacteria culture initially contains 100 cells and grows at a rate proportional to its size. After an hour the population has increased to 310.
(a) Find an expression for the number of bacteria after
hours.
(b) Find the number of bacteria after 3 hours.
(c) Find the rate of growth after 3 hours.
(d) When will the population reach 10,000?

Answers

Answer:

a) The expression for the number of bacteria is [tex]P(t) = 100\cdot e^{1.131\cdot t}[/tex].

b) There are 2975 bacteria after 3 hours.

c) The rate of growth after 3 hours is about 3365.3 bacteria per hour.

d) A population of 10,000 will be reached after 4.072 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The population growth of the bacteria culture is described by this ordinary differential equation:

[tex]\frac{dP}{dt} = k\cdot P[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]k[/tex] - Rate of proportionality, in [tex]\frac{1}{h}[/tex].

[tex]P[/tex] - Population of the bacteria culture, no unit.

[tex]t[/tex] - Time, in hours.

The solution of this differential equation is:

[tex]P(t) = P_{o}\cdot e^{k\cdot t}[/tex] (2)

Where:

[tex]P_{o}[/tex] - Initial population, no unit.

[tex]P(t)[/tex] - Current population, no unit.

If we know that [tex]P_{o} = 100[/tex], [tex]t = 1\,h[/tex] and [tex]P(t) = 310[/tex], then the rate of proportionality is:

[tex]P(t) = P_{o}\cdot e^{k\cdot t}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{P(t)}{P_{o}} = e^{k\cdot t}[/tex]

[tex]k\cdot t = \ln \frac{P(t)}{P_{o}}[/tex]

[tex]k = \frac{1}{t}\cdot \ln \frac{P(t)}{P_{o}}[/tex]

[tex]k = \frac{1}{1}\cdot \ln \frac{310}{100}[/tex]

[tex]k\approx 1.131\,\frac{1}{h}[/tex]

Hence, the expression for the number of bacteria is [tex]P(t) = 100\cdot e^{1.131\cdot t}[/tex].

b) If we know that [tex]t = 3\,h[/tex], then the number of bacteria is:

[tex]P(t) = 100\cdot e^{1.131\cdot t}[/tex]

[tex]P(3) = 100\cdot e^{1.131\cdot (3)}[/tex]

[tex]P(3) \approx 2975.508[/tex]

There are 2975 bacteria after 3 hours.

c) The rate of growth of the population is represented by (1):

[tex]\frac{dP}{dt} = k\cdot P[/tex]

If we know that [tex]k\approx 1.131\,\frac{1}{h}[/tex] and [tex]P \approx 2975.508[/tex], then the rate of growth after 3 hours:

[tex]\frac{dP}{dt} = \left(1.131\,\frac{1}{h} \right)\cdot (2975.508)[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dP}{dt} = 3365.3\,\frac{1}{h}[/tex]

The rate of growth after 3 hours is about 3365.3 bacteria per hour.

d) If we know that [tex]P(t) = 10000[/tex], then the time associated with the size of the bacteria culture is:

[tex]P(t) = 100\cdot e^{1.131\cdot t}[/tex]

[tex]10000 = 100\cdot e^{1.131\cdot t}[/tex]

[tex]100 = e^{1.131\cdot t}[/tex]

[tex]\ln 100 = 1.131\cdot t[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{\ln 100}{1.131}[/tex]

[tex]t \approx 4.072\,h[/tex]

A population of 10,000 will be reached after 4.072 hours.

Answers

Answer:

The resistance is 484 ohm.

Step-by-step explanation:

An incandescent lamp has the following data inscribed on its bulb. U= 220 V and P = 100 W. Knowing the relations U = R. i and P = U. i , it can be stated that the value of the resistance R of the lamp during operation is, in omhs:

P = 100 W

V = 220 V

Let the current is I.

P = V I

100 = 220 I

I = 0.45 A

Now,

V = I R

220 = 0.45 x R

R = 484 ohm

The resistance is 484 ohm.

6. Calculate the area of the octagon in the
figure below.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]41\text{ [units squared]}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The octagon is irregular, meaning not all sides have equal length. However, we can break it up into other shapes to find the area.

The octagon shown in the figure is a composite figure as it's composed of other shapes. In the octagon, let's break it up into:

4 triangles (corners)3 rectangles (one in the middle, two on top after you remove triangles)

Formulas:

Area of rectangle with length [tex]l[/tex] and width [tex]w[/tex]: [tex]A=lw[/tex] Area of triangle with base [tex]b[/tex] and height [tex]h[/tex]: [tex]A=\frac{1}{2}bh[/tex]

Area of triangles:

All four triangles we broke the octagon into are congruent. Each has a base of 2 and a height of 2.

Thus, the total area of one is [tex]A=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 2\cdot 2=2\text{ square units}[/tex]

The area of all four is then [tex]2\cdot 4=8[/tex] units squared.

Area of rectangles:

The two smaller rectangles are also congruent. Each has a length of 3 and a width of 2. Therefore, each of them have an area of [tex]3\cdot 2=6[/tex] units squared, and the both of them have a total area of [tex]6\cdot 2=12[/tex] units squared.

The last rectangle has a width of 7 and a height of 3 for a total area of [tex]7\cdot 3=21[/tex] units squared.

Therefore, the area of the entire octagon is [tex]8+12+21=\boxed{41\text{ [units squared]}}[/tex]

You have some data points labeled by [tex]x[/tex]. They form the set {3, 5, 7}.

The mean, [tex]\bar x[/tex], is the average of these values:

[tex]\bar x = \dfrac{3+5+7}3 = \dfrac{15}3 = 5[/tex]

Then in the column labeled [tex]x-\bar x[/tex], what you're doing is computing the difference between each data point [tex]x[/tex] and the mean [tex]\bar x[/tex]:

[tex]x=3 \implies x-\bar x = 3 - 5 = -2[/tex]

[tex]x=5 \implies x-\bar x = 5-5 = 0[/tex]

[tex]x=7 \implies x-\bar x = 7 - 5 = 2[/tex]

These are sometimes called "residuals".

In the next column, you square these values:

[tex]x=3 \implies (x-\bar x)^2 = (-2)^2 = 4[/tex]

[tex]x=5 \implies (x-\bar x)^2 = 0^2 = 0[/tex]

[tex]x=7 \implies (x-\bar x)^2 = 2^2 = 4[/tex]

and the variance of the data is the sum of these so-called "squared residuals".
