Answer:
a. The mean is 3, the variance is 2.25 and the standard deviation is 1.5.
b. 0.0401 = 4.01% probability that the number of people who own individual stocks is exactly six.
c. 0.1584 = 15.84% probability that the number of people who say they own individual stocks is at least two.
d. 0.3907 = 39.07% probability that the number of people who say they own individual stocks is at most two
e. Both cases include one common outcome, that is, 2 people owning stocks, so the events are not mutually exclusive.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they own stocks, or they do not. The probability of a person owning stocks is independent of any other person, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [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]
And p is the probability of X happening.
One in four people in the US owns individual stocks.
This means that [tex]p = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25[/tex]
You randomly select 12 people and ask them if they own individual stocks.
This means that [tex]n = 12[/tex]
a. Find the mean, variance, and standard deviation of the resulting probability distribution.
The mean of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]
So
[tex]E(X) = 12(0.25) = 3[/tex]
The variance is:
[tex]V(X) = np(1-p)[/tex]
So
[tex]V(X) = 12(0.25)(0.75) = 2.25[/tex]
Standard deviation is the square root of the variance, so:
[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{2.25} = 1.5[/tex]
The mean is 3, the variance is 2.25 and the standard deviation is 1.5.
b. Find the probability that the number of people who own individual stocks is exactly six.
This is P(X = 6). So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 6) = C_{12,6}.(0.25)^{6}.(0.75)^{6} = 0.0401[/tex]
0.0401 = 4.01% probability that the number of people who own individual stocks is exactly six.
c. Find probability that the number of people who say they own individual stocks is at least two.
This is:
[tex]P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)[/tex]
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{12,0}.(0.25)^{0}.(0.75)^{12} = 0.0317[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{12,1}.(0.25)^{1}.(0.75)^{11} = 0.1267[/tex]
[tex]P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.0317 + 0.1267 = 0.1584[/tex]
0.1584 = 15.84% probability that the number of people who say they own individual stocks is at least two.
d. Find the probability that the number of people who say they own individual stocks is at most two.
This is:
[tex]P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)[/tex]
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{12,0}.(0.25)^{0}.(0.75)^{12} = 0.0317[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{12,1}.(0.25)^{1}.(0.75)^{11} = 0.1267[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{12,2}.(0.25)^{2}.(0.75)^{10} = 0.2323[/tex]
[tex]P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0317 + 0.1267 + 0.2323 = 0.3907[/tex]
0.3907 = 39.07% probability that the number of people who say they own individual stocks is at most two.
e. Are the events in part c. and in part d. mutually exclusive
Both cases include one common outcome, that is, 2 people owning stocks, so the events are not mutually exclusive.

Answer: The Third Graph/ C
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the number of ways to form a set of three distinct items such that no two of the selected items are in the same row or same column
Answer:
1200
Explanation:
Order does not matter, if we said xyz order, it would still not make a difference if it was zyx or yzx hence we use the combination formula:
nCr = n! / r! * (n - r)!
where n= total number of items
r= number of items chosen at a time
Combinations are used when the order of events do not matter in calculating the outcome.
We calculate using the formula:
(30×20×12)÷3!=1200
There are therefore 1200 ways for the three distinct items to not be in same row or column

C. Similar - SSS
D. Similar - AA
Answer: B. Cannot be determined
Explanation:
We can't use SAS since we don't have two pairs of proportional sides. We only know one pair of sides. This also rules out SSS as well since we'd need 3 pairs of proportional sides.
We can't use AA because we don't have two pairs of congruent angles.
Currently, we simply don't have enough information to determine if the triangles are similar or not.
Suppose a research company takes a random sample of 45 business travelers in the financial industry and determines that the sample average cost of a domestic trip is $1,192, with a sample standard deviation of $279. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the population mean (for domestic trip) from these sample data. Round your answers to 3 decimal places.
Answer:
98% confidence interval for the population mean =(1095.260,1288.740)
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
n=45
[tex]\mu=1192[/tex]
Standard deviation,[tex]\sigma=279[/tex]
We have to construct a 98% confidence interval for the population mean.
Critical value of z at 98% confidence, Z =2.326
Confidence interval is given by
[tex](\mu\pm Z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})[/tex]
Using the formula
98% confidence interval is given by
[tex]=(1192\pm 2.326\times \frac{279}{\sqrt{45}})[/tex]
[tex]=(1192\pm 96.740)[/tex]
=[tex](1192-96.740,1192+96.740)[/tex]
=[tex](1095.260,1288.740)[/tex]
Hence, 98% confidence interval for the population mean (1095.260,1288.740)

Answer:
306 square meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide the shape into 2 rectangles.
Lets do the one that is sticking to the top first.
The area is 6 * 15, which is 90.
Lets do the second rectangle. The area is:
27 * 8, which is 216.
Add them all up (90 + 216), which is 306.
Answer:
306m²
Step-by-step explanation:
Split the shape into two rectangles with the accureate lengths
The top-most of the two rectangles with length 6m and width 15m:
6 x 15 = 90 m² (area of rectangle A)
The bottom rectangle:
27(full length) x 8m(full width) = 216m²
Add the two areas together for the full shape
216 + 90 = 306m²

the mean of 5 numbers is 198. the numbers are in ratio 1:2:3:4:5 find the smallest number
Answer: 13.2
In fraction form, this is 66/5
=============================================================
Explanation:
The five values are in the ratio 1:2:3:4:5 which scales up to 1x:2x:3x:4x:5x for some positive number x.
Add up the pieces of the second ratio and set that sum equal to 198. Then solve for x.
1x+2x+3x+4x+5x = 198
15x = 198
x = 198/15
x = 66/5
x = 13.2 is the smallest number since 1x = 1*13.2 = 13.2 was the smallest value of the ratio 1x:2x:3x:4x:5x.

If the slope of the line y = mx − 4 is less than the slope of the line y = x − 4, this shows that m will be any values less than 1 i.e. m < 1. This gives a true statement
The slope of a line defines the steepness of such a line. It is the ratio of the rise to the run of a line.
The general formula for calculating an equation of a line is expressed as:
[tex]y = mx + b[/tex] where:
m is the slope of the line
Given the equation of the line, [tex]y=x-4[/tex] the slope of the line will be derived through comparison as shown:
[tex]mx=1x\\[/tex]
Divide through by x
[tex]\dfrac{mx}{x} = \dfrac{1x}{x}\\ m=1[/tex]
Hence the slope of the line y = x - 1 is 1.
According to the question, since we are told that the slope of the line
y = mx − 4 is less than the slope of the line y = x − 4, this shows that m will be any values less than 1 i.e. m < 1. This gives a true statement

3. university dean of students wishes to estimate the average number of hours students spend doing homework per week. The standard deviation from a previous study is 4 hours. How large a sample must be selected if he wants to be 96% confident of finding whether the true mean differs from the sample mean by 2 hours
Answer:
A sample of 17 must be selected.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:
[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.96}{2} = 0.02[/tex]
Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].
That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.02 = 0.98[/tex], so Z = 2.054.
Now, find the margin of error M as such
[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.
The standard deviation from a previous study is 4 hours.
This means that [tex]\sigma = 4[/tex]
How large a sample must be selected if he wants to be 96% confident of finding whether the true mean differs from the sample mean by 2 hours?
A sample of n is required.
n is found for M = 2. So
[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]2 = 2.054\frac{4}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]2\sqrt{n} = 2.054*4[/tex]
Simplifying both sides by 2:
[tex]\sqrt{n} = 2.054*2[/tex]
[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (2.054*2)^2[/tex]
[tex]n = 16.88[/tex]
Rounding up:

19. In a random sample of 250 students, we found that 75 work out 4 or more times a week. Find the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of students who work out 4 or more times a week.
Answer:
The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of students who work out 4 or more times a week is (0.2432, 0.3568).
Step-by-step explanation:
In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.
[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]
In which
z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].
In a random sample of 250 students, we found that 75 work out 4 or more times a week.
This means that [tex]n = 250, \pi = \frac{75}{250} = 0.3[/tex]
95% confidence level
So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].
The lower limit of this interval is:
[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.3 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.3*0.7}{250}} = 0.2432[/tex]
The upper limit of this interval is:
[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.3 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.3*0.7}{250}} = 0.3568[/tex]
The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of students who work out 4 or more times a week is (0.2432, 0.3568).
A real estate agent has 12 properties that she shows. She feels that there is a 30% chance of selling any one property during a week. The chance of selling any one property is independent of selling another property. Compute the probability of selling no more than 2 properties in one week. Round your answer to four decimal places.
Answer:
0.2528 = 25.28% probability of selling no more than 2 properties in one week.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each property, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are sold, or they are not. The chance of selling any one property is independent of selling another property, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [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]
And p is the probability of X happening.
A real estate agent has 12 properties that she shows.
This means that [tex]n = 12[/tex]
She feels that there is a 30% chance of selling any one property during a week.
This means that [tex]p = 0.3[/tex]
Compute the probability of selling no more than 2 properties in one week.
2 or less sold, which is:
[tex]P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{12,0}.(0.3)^{0}.(0.7)^{12} = 0.0138[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{12,1}.(0.3)^{1}.(0.7)^{11} = 0.0712[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{12,2}.(0.3)^{2}.(0.7)^{10} = 0.1678[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0138 + 0.0712 + 0.1678 = 0.2528[/tex]
0.2528 = 25.28% probability of selling no more than 2 properties in one week.

If BC = 8.3, CD - 6,7, and AD = 11.6, find AB to the nearest tenth.
Answer:
ab=14.4
Step-by-step explanation:
This is going to be tricky to explain over text, so try to bear with me :) You have the information given above. Let's start with just ad = 11.6 for now. since these are variables, it can also be understood be understood as a times d= 11.6. Knowing this, we can figure out that d = 11.6/a, when you divide both sides by a. You now have d, so plug (11.6/a) into cd=6.7. You have to do the same thing you did last time, except this time you are aiming to get c by itself. So, multiply both sides by a/11.6 and you get c = (6.7a)/ 11.6. Guess what, you know c now! so you put (6.7a)/11.6 in for c in the equation given to you earlier, bc =8.3. The math gets a bit messy here, but you basically solve for b here, which, when you crunch the numbers down, ends up being ~14.3705 divided by a. You are looking for ab, so just multiply both sides by a, and round to the nearest tenth so that you have ab= 14.4
Javier volunteers in community events each month. He does not do more than five events in a month. He attends exactly five events 25% of the time, four events 30% of the time, three events 20% of the time, two events 15% of the time, one event 5% of the time, and no events 5% of the time. Find the probability that Javier volunteers for less than three events each month. P (x < 3) = 2 Find the expected number of events Javier volunteers in a month. 3.6 It is given that x must be below a certain value, which limits the rows to use in the PDF table. What is the sum of the probabilities of those rows?
Answer:
[tex]P(x < 3) = 25\%[/tex]
[tex]E(x) = 3[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters can be represented as:
[tex]\begin{array}{ccccccc}x & {5} & {4} & {3} & {2} & {1}& {0} & P(x) & {25\%} & {30\%} & {20\%} & {15\%} & {5\%} & {5\%} \ \end{array}[/tex]
Solving (a): P(x < 3)
This is calculated as:
[tex]P(x < 3) = P(x = 0) + P(x = 1) + P(x =2)[/tex] ----- i.e. all probabilities less than 3
So, we have:
[tex]P(x < 3) = 5\% + 5\% + 15\%[/tex]
[tex]P(x < 3) = 25\%[/tex]
Solving (b): Expected number of events
This is calculated as:
[tex]E(x) = \sum x * P(x)[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]E(x) = 5 * 25\% + 4 * 30\% + 3 * 20\% + 2 * 15\% + 1 * 5\% + 0 * 5\%[/tex]
[tex]E(x) = 125\% + 120\% + 60\% + 30\% + 5\% + 0\%[/tex]
[tex]E(x) = 340\%[/tex]
Express as decimal
[tex]E(x) = 3.40[/tex]
Approximate to the nearest integer
[tex]E(x) = 3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this multiplication of polynomials by understanding how to multiply these large terms.
To multiply two polynomials together, we must multiply each term by each term in the other polynomial. Each term should be multiplied by another one until it's multiplied by all of the terms in the other expression.
We can do this by focusing on one term in the first polynomial and multiplying it by all the terms in the second polynomial. We'd then repeat this for the remaining terms in the second polynomial.Let's first start by multiplying the first term of the first polynomial, [tex]3x^2[/tex], by all of the terms in the second polynomial. ([tex]5x^2+4x+5[/tex])
[tex]3x^2 \cdot 5x^2 = 15x^4[/tex] [tex]3x^2 \cdot 4x = 12x^3[/tex] [tex]3x^2 \cdot 5 = 15x^2[/tex]Now, we can add up all these expressions to get the first part of our polynomial. Ordering by exponent, our expression is now
[tex]\displaystyle 15x^4 + 12x^3 + 15x^2[/tex]Now let's do the same with the second term ([tex]-2x[/tex]) and the third term ([tex]-3[/tex]).
[tex]-2x \cdot 5x^2 = -10x^3[/tex] [tex]-2x \cdot 4x = -8x^2[/tex] [tex]-2x \cdot 5 = -10x[/tex] Adding on to our original expression: [tex]\displaystyle 15x^4 + 12x^3 - 10x^3 + 15x^2 - 8x^2 - 10x[/tex] [tex]-3 \cdot 5x^2 = -15x^2[/tex] [tex]-3 \cdot 4x = -12x[/tex] [tex]-3 \cdot 5 = -15[/tex] Adding on to our original expression: [tex]\displaystyle 15x^4 + 12x^3 - 10x^3 + 15x^2 - 8x^2 - 15x^2 - 10x - 12x - 15[/tex]Phew, that's one big polynomial! We can simplify it by combining like terms. We can combine terms that share the same exponent and combine them via their coefficients.
[tex]12x^3 - 10x^3 = 2x^3[/tex] [tex]15x^2 - 8x^2 - 15x^2 = -8x^2[/tex] [tex]-10x - 12x = -22x[/tex]This simplifies our expression down to [tex]15x^4 + 2x^3 - 8x^2 - 22x - 15[/tex].

hence : Cosθ = (Ai*Bi )+ (Aj*Bj) + ( Ak*Bk/ (√A^2 *√B^2 )
= 15 - 48 + 14 /(√25+26+29) * (√9+64+4)
= -0.206448454
θ = cos^-1 ( -0.206448454) = 101.9° ≈ 102°
