A 64-inch board is cut into three pieces so that the second piece is twice as long as the first piece, and the third
piece is 5 times as long as the first piece. Find the length of the longest piece.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:  40 inches

==========================================================

Explanation:

x = first piece2x = second piece, since its twice as long as the first5x = third piece, since its five time as long as the first

x is some positive real number, and the units of each are in inches.

Add up the smaller pieces and we should get 64 inches back again

x+2x+5x = 64

8x = 64

x = 64/8

x = 8

The first piece is 8 inches long.

2x = 2*8 = 16 is the length of the second piece (in inches)

The third piece is 40 inches because 5x = 5*8 = 40

--------

Summary:

first = 8 inches

second = 16 inches

third = 40 inches

Check: 8+16+40 = 64, which confirms the answer

When sample size increases:____.
A. Standard deviation of the sample mean increases.
B. Confidence interval remains the same.
C. Confidence interval increases.
D. Confidence interval decreases.

Answers

Answer:

D. Confidence interval decreases.

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

When sample size increases:

The standard deviation of the sample mean is:

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

That is, it is inversely proportional to the sample size, so if the sample size incerases, the standard deviation decreases, and so does the confidence interval.

This means that the correct answer is given by option D.

in the right triangle AB, mc=90, a=4, and sinA=1/2. what is the length of the hypotenuse?

Answers

Given:

In a right angle triangle ABC, [tex]m\angle C=90^\circ , a=4[/tex] and [tex]\sin A=\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex].

To find:

The length of the hypotenuse.

Solution:

It is given that [tex]m\angle C[/tex], so opposite side of this angle is the hypotenuse, i.e., c.

In a right angle triangle,

[tex]\sin \theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]

In the given triangle,

[tex]\sin A=\dfrac{a}{c}[/tex]

Substituting the given values, we get

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{4}{c}[/tex]

By cross multiplication, we get

[tex]1\times c=4\times 2[/tex]

[tex]c=8[/tex]

Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is 8 units.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF ¡ AM WRONG!

The system of linear inequalities represented by the graph is

y ≥ (1/3)x + 3 and 3x - y  > 2

Option A is the correct answer.

What is inequality?

It shows a relationship between two numbers or two expressions.

There are commonly used four inequalities:

Less than = <

Greater than = >

Less than and equal =≤

Greater than and equal = ≥

We have,

We see that,

When we graph,

y ≥ (1/3)x + 3 and 3x - y  > 2 we get the graph shown.

y ≥ (1/3)x + 3

This inequality is positive on the y-axis.

3x - y  > 2

3x > 2 + y

49 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

14 times 3 is 42 and 3.50 times 2 is 7, so 42 plus 7 is 49.

Total cost with 2 snacks = $35

Total cost with x  snacks = 28+3.50x

Given :

Carson is going to see a movie and is taking his 2 kids. Movie ticket costs $14 and snacks cost $3.50.

Explanation :

Carson buys 2 snacks . we need to find the total cost that Carson have to pay where he buy 2 snacks.

Total cost = cost of ticket (2 kids) + cost of 2 snacks

[tex]Total \; cost = 14(2) + 2(3.50)=35[/tex]

Total cost with 2 snacks = $35

Total cost with x snacks = cost of ticket (2 kids) + cost of x snacks

[tex]Total \; cost = 14(2) + 3.50(x)\\Total \; cost = 28+3.50x[/tex]

Total cost with x  snacks = 28+3.50x

2y + 6 = 24

2y + 6 - 6 = 24 - 6

2y ÷ 2 = 18 ÷ 2

y = 9

a. What is the probability that a technician is required after a one-week period?
b. If you are the first one in the city to place an order, what is the probability that you have to wait more than two weeks from the time you place your order until a technician is dispatched?

Answers

Answer:

0.3233

0.09

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mean, λ = 0.25 for a 100,000 per week

For a population of 800,000 :

λ = 800,000 / 100,000 * 0.25 = 8 * 0.25 = 2 orders per week

Probability that technician is required after one week ;

After one week, order is beyond 2 ; hence, order, x ≥ 3

P(x ≥ 3) = 1 - [p(x=0) + p(x= 1) + p(x =2)]

P(x ≥ 3) = 1 - e^-λ(1 + 2¹/1! + 2²/2!)

P(x ≥ 3) = 1 - e^-2(1+2+2) = 1 - e^-2*5 = 1 - e^-10

P(x ≥ 3) = 1 - e^-2 * 10

P(x ≥ 3) = 1 - 0.6766764

P(x ≥ 3) = 0.3233

B.)

Mean, λ for more than 2 weeks = 2 * 2 = 4

P(x < 2) = p(x = 0) + p(x = 1)

P(x < 2) = e^-4(0 + 4^1/1!)

P(x < 2) = e^-4(0 + 4) = e^-4(5)

P(x < 2) = e^-4(5) = 0.0183156 * 5 = 0.0915

P(x < 2) = 0.09
