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.

Thanks for posting. This made my evening.

If a tank holds 6000 gallons of water, which drains from the bottom of the tank in 50 minutes, then Toricelli's Law gives the volume V of water remaining in the tank after t minutes as

V=5000 (1-1/50*t)^2 0⤠t ⤠50.

1. Find the rate at which water is draining from the tank after the following amount of time. (Remember that the rate must be negative because the amount of water in the tank is decreasing.)

a. 5 min
b. 10 min
c. 20 min
d. 50 min

2. At what time is the water flowing out the fastest?
3. At what time is the water flowing out the slowest?

Answers

Answer: hello from the question the volume of tank = 6000 gallons while the value in the Torricelli's equation = 5000 hence I resolved your question using the Torricelli's law equation

answer:

1) a) -180  gallons/minute ,

  b)  -160 gallons/minute

  c)  -120 gallons/minute

  d) 0

2) The water is flowing out fastest when t = 5 min

3) The water is flowing out slowest after t = 20 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of tank = 5000 gallons

Time to drain = 50 minutes

Volume of water remaining after t minutes by Torricelli's law

V = 5000 ( 1 - [tex]\frac{1}{50}t[/tex] )^2 ----- ( 1 )

1) Determine the rate at which water is draining from the tank

First step : differentiate equation 1 using the chain rule to determine the rate at which water is draining from the tank

V' = [tex]-10000[ ( 1 - \frac{1}{50}t ) (\frac{1}{50}) ][/tex]

a) After t = 5minutes

V' = - 10000[ ( 1 - 0.1 ) * ( 0.02 ) ]

   = -180  gallons/minute

b) After t = 10 minutes

V' = - 10000[ ( 1 - 0.2 ) * ( 0.02 ) ]

   = - 160 gallons/minute

c) After t = 20 minutes

V' = - 10000 [ ( 1 - 0.4 ) * ( 0.02 ) ]

   = -120 gallons/minute

d) After t = 50 minutes

V' = - 10000 [ ( 1 - 1 ) * ( 0.02 ) ]

   = 0 gallons/minute

2) The water is flowing out fastest when t = 5 min

3) The water is flowing out slowest after t = 20 mins  because no water flows out after 50 minutes

2065 Q.No. 2 a A firm produced 100 calculator sets during its first year. The total number of calculator sets produced at the end of five years is 4,500. Assume that the production increases uniformly each year. Estimate the increase in production each year. [3] Ans: 400 ​

Answers

Answer:

400

Step-by-step explanation:

First, the firm produces 100 sets its first year. This means that our equation starts at 100. Next, the total number of calculator sets in 5 years is 4500. With y₁ representing the amount of calculator sets produced during year 1, y₂ representing the amount of sets during year 2, and so on, we can say that

y₁+y₂+y₃+y₄+y₅ = 4500

100 + y₂+y₃+y₄+y₅ = 4500

Next, we are given that the production increases uniformly by an amount each year. Representing that amount as a, we can say that

y₁+a = y₂

y₂+a = y₃

y₁+a+a = y₃

y₁+ 2 * a = y₃

and so on, so we have

100 + y₂+y₃+y₄+y₅ = 4500

100 + (100+a) + (100+2a) + (100+3a) + (100+4a) = 4500

500 + 10a = 4500

subtract 500 from both sides to isolate the a and its coefficient

4000 = 10a

divide both sides by 15 to isolate a

a = 400

There are 3 zero's but we see the polynomial is of degree 4.

It means it has 2 same zero's. We can verify it is -2. Since -2 is doubled, it reflects the local minimum and it is on the x-axis.

In reality we need to consider the other two zero's.

It is obvious the negative interval is between -1/3 and 6 since the polynomial is of even degree and has positive leading coefficient.

An empty freight train traveled 60 miles from an auto assembly plant to an oil refinery. There, its tank cars were filled with petroleum products, and it returned on the same route to the plant. The total travel time for the train was 4 1 2 hours. If the train traveled 20 mph slower with the tank cars full, how fast did the train travel in each direction

Answers

Answer:

On the way out the train traveled at about 40 mph, while on the return it did so at 20 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since an empty freight train traveled 60 miles from an auto assembly plant to an oil refinery, and there, its tank cars were filled with petroleum products, and it returned on the same route to the plant, and the total travel time for the train was 4.5 hours, if the train traveled 20 mph slower with the tank cars full, to determine how fast did the train travel in each direction the following calculation must be performed:

60/20 = 3

60/40 = 1.5

60/20 = 3

3 + 1.5 = 4.5

Therefore, on the way out the train traveled at about 40 mph, while on the return it did so at 20 mph.

In a lottery game, a single ball is drawn at random from a container that contains 25 identical balls numbered from 1 through 25. Use the equation P(AUB)=P(A) + P(B) - P(ANB), where A and B are any events, to compute the probability that the number drawn is prime or greater than 12.

The probability that the number drawn is prime or greater than 12 is : ___________

Answers

Answer:

17/25

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the probability of two events that are not mutually exclusive is:

p(A ∨ B) = p(A) + p(B) - p(A ∧ B)

A = the number is prime

B = the number is prime

The numbers are:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25

Here are the 8 prime numbers that satisfy event A:

3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23

p(A) = 8/25

Here are the 13 numbers that are greater than 12 that satisfy event B:

13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25

p(B) = 13/25

Here are the 4 numbers that satisfy both event A and event B:

13, 17, 19, 23

p(A ∧ B) = 4/25

p(A ∨ B) = p(A) + p(B) - p(A ∧ B)

p(A ∨ B) = 8/25 + 13/25 - 4/25

p(A ∨ B) = 17/25

The probability that the number drawn is prime or greater than 12 = [tex]\frac{18}{25}[/tex]

What is probability?

"Probability is a branch of mathematics which deals with finding out the likelihood of the occurrence of an event."

Formula of the probability of an event A is:

P(A) = n(A)/n(S)

where,  n(A) is the number of favorable outcomes, n(S) is the total number of events in the sample space.

For given question,

In a lottery game, a single ball is drawn at random from a container that contains 25 identical balls numbered from 1 through 25.

n(S) = 25

Let event A: the number drawn is prime

The prime numbers from 1 to 25 are:

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23

So, n(A) = 9

The  probability that the number drawn is prime,

[tex]P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}\\\\ P(A)=\frac{9}{25}[/tex]

Let event B: the number drawn is greater than 12

So, n(B) = 13

The probability that the number drawn is greater than 12,

[tex]P(B)=\frac{n(B)}{n(S)}\\\\ P(B)=\frac{13}{25}[/tex]

The number drawn is prime as well as greater than 12.

Such numbers are : 13, 17, 19, 23

n(A ∩ B) = 4

So, the probability that the number drawn is prime as well as greater than 12,

[tex]P(A\cap B)=\frac{n(A\cap B)}{n(s)}\\\\ P(A\cap B)=\frac{4}{25}[/tex]

Using the equation P(AUB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B) to find the probability that the number drawn is prime or greater than 12,

[tex]\Rightarrow P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)\\\\\Rightarrow P(A\cup B)=\frac{9}{25}+ \frac{13}{25} -\frac{4}{25} \\\\\Rightarrow P(A\cup B)=\frac{9+13-4}{25}\\\\ \Rightarrow P(A\cup B)=\frac{18}{25}[/tex]

Therefore, the probability that the number drawn is prime or greater than 12 = [tex]\frac{18}{25}[/tex]

Evaluate u + xy, if u = 18, x = 10, and y = 8.

Answers

Hi there!

[tex]\large\boxed{u + xy = 98}[/tex]

We can do substitution to solve.

We are given the values of all of the letters, so:

u = 18

x = 10

y = 8

Substitute:

(18) + (10)(8)

Use the order of operations:

18 + 80 = 98

Step-by-step explanation:

u + xy

make u = 18

x = 10

y = 8

18 + 10 × 8

18 + 80

= 98

Suppose the following data represent the ratings (on a scale from 1 to 5) for a certain smart phone game, with 1 representing a poor rating. The discrete probability distribution for the random variable x is given below:

Star Frequency
1 2140
2 2853
3 4734
4 4880
5 10,715

Construct a discrete probability distribution for the random variable X

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\begin{array}{cc}{Status} & {Probability} & {1} & {0.0845} & {2} & {0.1127} & {3} & {0.1870} & {4} & {0.1927}& {5} & {0.4231} \ \end{array}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The above table

Required

The discrete probability distribution

The probability of each is calculated as:

[tex]Pr = \frac{Frequency}{Total}[/tex]

Where:

[tex]Total = 2140+ 2853 + 4734 + 4880 + 10715[/tex]

[tex]Total = 25322[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]P(1) = \frac{2140}{25322} = 0.0845[/tex]

[tex]P(2) = \frac{2853}{25322} = 0.1127[/tex]

[tex]P(3) = \frac{4734}{25322} = 0.1870[/tex]

[tex]P(4) = \frac{4880}{25322} = 0.1927[/tex]

[tex]P(5) = \frac{10715}{25322} = 0.4231[/tex]

So, the discrete probability distribution is:

[tex]\begin{array}{cc}{Status} & {Probability} & {1} & {0.0845} & {2} & {0.1127} & {3} & {0.1870} & {4} & {0.1927}& {5} & {0.4231} \ \end{array}[/tex]
