Answer:
3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a be the length of the shorter line segment and b be the length of the longer line segment.
Since the length of the line segment is l, we have that the length of the line segment equals length of shorter line segment + length of longer line segment.
So, l = a + b
Since we require that the longer line segment be at least three times longer than the shorter line segment, we have that b = 3a
So, l = a + b
l = a + 3a
l = 4a
The probability that the shorter line segment will be a(or 3 times shorter than b) is P(a) = length of shorter line segment/length of line segment = a/l
Since l = 4a.
a/l = 1/4
So, P(a) = 1/4
The probability that a will be less than 3 times shorter that b is P(a ≤ 1) = P(0) + P(a) = 0 + 1/4 = 1/4
The probability that b will be 3 times or more greater than a is thus P(b ≥ 3) = 1 - P(a ≤ 1) = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:
In a survey, 24 people were asked how much they spent on their child's last birthday gift. The results were roughly bell-shaped with a mean of $42 and standard deviation of $2. Construct a confidence interval at a 98% confidence level.
Answer:
The 98% confidence interval for the mean amount spent on their child's last birthday gift is between $40.98 and $43.02.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.
The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So
df = 24 - 1 = 23
98% confidence interval
Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 23 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.98}{2} = 0.99[/tex]. So we have T = 2.5
The margin of error is:
[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.5\frac{2}{\sqrt{24}} = 1.02[/tex]
In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 42 - 1.02 = $40.98.
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 42 + 1.02 = $43.02.
The 98% confidence interval for the mean amount spent on their child's last birthday gift is between $40.98 and $43.02.
Which method correctly solves the equation using the distributive property?
Negative 0.2 (x minus 4) = negative 1.7
Negative 0.2 (x minus 4) = negative 1.7. Negative 0.2 x minus 4 = negative 1.7. Negative 0.2 x = 2.3. x = negative 11.5.
Negative 0.2 (x minus 4) = negative 1.7. x minus 4 = 0.34. x = 4.34.
Negative 0.2 (x minus 4) = negative 1.7. Negative 0.2 x + 0.8 = negative 1.7. Negative 0.2 x = negative 2.5. x = 12.5.
Negative 0.2 (x minus 4) = negative 1.7. Negative 0.2 x minus 0.8 = negative 1.7. Negative 0.2 x = negative 0.9. x = 4.5.
9514 1404 393
Answer:
(c) x = 12.5
Step-by-step explanation:
-0.2(x -4) = -1.7
-0.2x +0.8 = -1.7 . . . eliminate parentheses using the distributive property
-0.2x = -2.5 . . . . . . subtract 0.8
x = 12.5 . . . . . . . . divide by -0.2
Suppose a life insurance company sells a $240,000 one-year term life insurance policy to a 19-year-old female for $240. The probability that the female survives the year is 0.999578. Compute and interpret the expected value of this policy to the insurance company. The expected value is $ (Round two decimal places as needed.)
Answer:
$138.72
Step-by-step explanation:
(1-0.999578)*$240,000 = $101.28
$240 - $101.28 = $138.72
Suppose you invest a certain amount of money in account that earns 3% annual interest. You also invest that same amount + $2000 that earns 4% annual interest. If the total interest from both accounts at the end of the year is $535, how much has been invested in each account?
If the mean, median, and mode are all equal for the set (10, 80, 70, 120, x}, find the value of x.
X
(Simplify your answer. Type an integer or a decimal.)
Question Viewer
Answer:
x=70
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we know that the mode is the number that is the most common. As each value in the set so far only has one of each number, we know that x must be one of the current numbers, making that the mode.
Next, because x is the mode and has to be the median as well, and our number line so far is
(10, 70, 80, 120), x must be either 70 or 80 to make it the median. This is because if x is 10 or 120, we would end up with (10, 10, 70, 80, 120) with 70 as the median or (10, 70, 80, 120, 120) with 80 as the median.
Finally, to calculate the mean, we have
mean = sum / count
The mean must be x, as it is equal to the mode, so we have
x = (10+70+80+120 + x)/5 (as there are 5 numbers including x)
multiply both sides by 5 to remove the denominator
5 * x = 10+70+80+120+x
5 * x = 280 + x
subtract x from both sides to isolate the x and the coefficient
4 * x = 280
divide both sides by 4 to get x
x= 70
We see that x is 70 or 80 and is one of the current numbers, checking off all boxes.

Sara is working on a Geometry problem in her Algebra class. The problem requires Sara to use the two quadrilaterals below to answer a list of questions.
Part A: For what one value of are the perimeters of the quadrilaterals the same? (Hint: The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of its sides.)
Part B: For what one value of are the areas of the quadrilaterals the same? (Hint: The area of a quadrilateral is the product of its base and height.)
Answer:
For the perimeters, x must be equal to 2.
For the areas, it is either undefined, or something.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can first find the perimeters for both sides.
For the left shape, we add the two sides of 6 and x + 4 to get x + 10.
Then we multiply x + 10 by 2 because there are 4 sides, and we only got 2 sides.
The perimeter of the first shape is 2x + 20.
The second shape can be solved by doing the same thing by adding 2 and 3x + 4 to get 3x + 6.
3x + 6 times 2 is 6x + 12.
The second perimeter is 6x + 12.
If both sides are supposed to be equal, then we can write these two expressions we solved for like:
6x + 12 = 2x + 20.
Subtraction property of equality
6x + 12 - 12 = 2x + 20 - 12
Simplify
6x = 2x + 8
Again
6x - 2x = 2x - 2x + 8
Simplify
4x = 8
Division property of equality
4/4x = 8/4
Simplify
x = 2
So if x = 2, the perimeters will be the same.
You can confirm this by plugging it back into either equation.
For the areas, we just multiply the length and width for both shapes, so we get
6(x+4) = 2(3x+4)
Since they are supposed to be equal.
We simplify and get
6x + 24 = 6x + 8
We know this is false and is not possible, since we can remove the 6x because it is on both sides.
We also know that 24 is not equal to 8 (who thought!)
:D
24 ≠ 8
So it is undefined or whatever you call it.
h=255-21t-16t^2
PLEASE HELP!!
Answer:
3.15 seconds is the answer.
Explanation
when the ball touches the ground, h =0
hence,
0=255-21t-16t²
16t²+21t-225=0
here a=16 ,b=21, c= -225
[tex]t= \frac{ - b± \sqrt{ {b }^{2} - 4ac} }{2a} \\ \\ t= \frac{ - 21± \sqrt{ {21}^{2} - 4 \times 16 \times - 225} }{2 \times 16} \\ = \frac{ - 21 ± \sqrt{441 - ( - 14400)} }{32} \\ = \frac{ - 21± \sqrt{14841} }{32} \\ = \frac{ - 21±121.82}{32} \\ \\ t = \frac{ - 21 + 121.82}{32} \: or \: \: t = \frac{ - 21 - 121.82}{32} \\ t = 3.15 \: \: or \: \: t = - 4.46[/tex]
time cannot be negative, hence t = -4.46 can be avoided
The ball takes 3.15 seconds to hit the ground.

Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for 10 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 5 hours. Together they charged a total of $1125. What was the rate charged per hour by each mechanic if the sum of the two rates was $140 per hour?
Answer:
The first mechanic charged $ 85 an hour, and the second mechanic charged $ 55 an hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that two mechanics worked on a car, and the first mechanic worked for 10 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 5 hours, and together they charged a total of $ 1125, to determine what was the rate charged per hour by each mechanic if the sum of the two rates was $ 140 per hour, the following calculation must be performed:
1125/15 = X
75 = X
80 x 10 + 60 x 5 = 800 + 300 = 1100
85 x 10 + 55 x 5 = 850 + 275 = 1125
Therefore, the first mechanic charged $ 85 an hour, and the second mechanic charged $ 55 an hour.

amy shoots a 100 arrows at a target each arrow hits with a probability 0.01 what is the probability that one of her first 5 arrows hit the target
Answer:
0.5759
Step-by-step explanation:
Midwest Publishing publishes textbooks. The company uses an 800 number where people can call to ask questions about the textbooks and place orders. Currently, there are 2 representatives handling inquiries. Calls occurring when both lines are in use get a busy signal. Each representative can handle 12 calls per hour. The arrival rate is 20 calls per hour.
Required:
a. How many extension lines should be used if the company wants to handle 90% of the calls immediately?
b. What is the probability that a call will receive a busy signal if your recommendation in part (a) is used?
c. What percentage of calls receive a busy signal for the current telephone system with two extension lines?
Answer:
A. 18 calls
B. 0.9
C. 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of representatives=2,
Number of extension lines=2,
Average calls each representative can accommodate per hour = 15 calls,
Arrival rate per hour = 30 calls
(a) 90% of the arrival rate = 0.09 × 20 = 18 calls
To handle 18 calls immediately, 18 extension lines should be used
(b) Probability is given by number of possible outcomes ÷ number of total outcomes
Number of possible outcomes = 18, number of total outcomes = 20
Probability (call will receive busy signal) = 18/20 = 0.9
(c) For one extension line, numbers of calls to receive busy signal = 20 - 10 = 10 calls
Number of calls to receive busy signal for the current telephone system with two extension lines = 2 × 10 = 20 calls
Two lamps marked 100 W - 110 V and 100 W - 220 V are connected i
series across a 220 V line. What power is consumed in each lamp?
The power consumed in the lamp marked 100W - 110V is 15.68W
The power consumed in the lamp marked 100W - 220V is 62.73W
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
First lamp rating
Power (P) = 100W
Voltage (V) = 110V
Second lamp rating
Power (P) = 100W
Voltage (V) = 220V
Source
Voltage = 220V
i. Get the resistance of each lamp.
Remember that power (P) of each of the lamps is given by the quotient of the square of their voltage ratings (V) and their resistances (R). i.e
P = [tex]\frac{V^2}{R}[/tex]
Make R subject of the formula
⇒ R = [tex]\frac{V^2}{P}[/tex] ------------------(i)
For first lamp, let the resistance be R₁. Now substitute R = R₁, V = 110V and P = 100W into equation (i)
R₁ = [tex]\frac{110^2}{100}[/tex]
R₁ = 121Ω
For second lamp, let the resistance be R₂. Now substitute R = R₂, V = 220V and P = 100W into equation (i)
R₂ = [tex]\frac{220^2}{100}[/tex]
R₂ = 484Ω
ii. Get the equivalent resistance of the resistances of the lamps.
Since the lamps are connected in series, their equivalent resistance (R) is the sum of their individual resistances. i.e
R = R₁ + R₂
R = 121 + 484
R = 605Ω
iii. Get the current flowing through each of the lamps.
Since the lamps are connected in series, then the same current flows through them. This current (I) is produced by the source voltage (V = 220V) of the line and their equivalent resistance (R = 605Ω). i.e
V = IR [From Ohm's law]
I = [tex]\frac{V}{R}[/tex]
I = [tex]\frac{220}{605}[/tex]
I = 0.36A
iv. Get the power consumed by each lamp.
From Ohm's law, the power consumed is given by;
P = I²R
Where;
I = current flowing through the lamp
R = resistance of the lamp.
For the first lamp, power consumed is given by;
P = I²R [Where I = 0.36 and R = 121Ω]
P = (0.36)² x 121
P = 15.68W
For the second lamp, power consumed is given by;
P = I²R [Where I = 0.36 and R = 484Ω]
P = (0.36)² x 484
P = 62.73W
Therefore;
The power consumed in the lamp marked 100W - 110V is 15.68W
The power consumed in the lamp marked 100W - 220V is 62.73W

In a given region, the number of tornadoes in a one-week period is modeled by a Poisson distribution with mean 2. The numbers of tornadoes in different weeks are mutually independent. Calculate the probability that fewer than four tornadoes occur in a three-week period.
Answer:
0.1512 = 15.12% probability that fewer than four tornadoes occur in a three-week period.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
In which
x is the number of sucesses
e = 2.71828 is the Euler number
[tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean in the given interval.
In a given region, the number of tornadoes in a one-week period is modeled by a Poisson distribution with mean 2
Three weeks, so [tex]\mu = 2*3 = 6[/tex]
Calculate the probability that fewer than four tornadoes occur in a three-week period.
This is:
[tex]P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-6}*6^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0025[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-6}*6^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.0149[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-6}*6^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.0446[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-6}*6^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.0892[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0025 + 0.0149 + 0.0446 + 0.0892 = 0.1512[/tex]
0.1512 = 15.12% probability that fewer than four tornadoes occur in a three-week period.

Answer:
x = 6, y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 5y = 26
- x + 7y = 22
_________
0 + 12y = 48
12y = 48
y = 48 / 12
y = 4
Substitute y = 4 in eq. x + 5y = 26,
x + 5 ( 4 ) = 26
x + 20 = 26
x = 26 - 20
x = 6
Solve the system of linear equations below.
6x + 3y = 33
4x + y = 15
A.
x = 2, y = 7
B.
x = -13, y = 7
C.
x = - 2/3, y = 12 2/3
D.
x = 5, y = 1
Answer:
The answer for both linear equations is A. x = 2, y = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
First start by plugging in the variables with the given numbers (2,7). We'll start with 6x + 3y = 33.
6x + 3y = 33
6 (2) + 3 (7 )= 33 <--- This is the equation after the numbers are plugged in.
12 + 10 = 33
33 = 33 <---- This statement is true, therefore it is the correct pair.
Now we are not done, to confirm that this pair works with both equations we need to solve for 4x + y = 15 to see if it works. Linear Equations must have the variables work on both equations.
4x + y = 15 <----- We are going to do the exact same thing to this equation.
4(2) + 7 = 15
8 + 7 = 15
15 = 15 <-- 15=15 is a true statement therefore this pair works for this equation.
Therefore,
A. x = 2, y = 7 is the correct answer

Describe the motion of a particle with position (x, y) as t varies in the given interval. (For each answer, enter an ordered pair of the form x, y.) x = 1 + sin(t), y = 3 + 2 cos(t), π/2 ≤ t ≤ 2π
Answer:
The motion of the particle describes an ellipse.
Step-by-step explanation:
The characteristics of the motion of the particle is derived by eliminating [tex]t[/tex] in the parametric expressions. Since both expressions are based on trigonometric functions, we proceed to use the following trigonometric identity:
[tex]\cos^{2} t + \sin^{2} t = 1[/tex] (1)
Where:
[tex]\cos t = \frac{y-3}{2}[/tex] (2)
[tex]\sin t = x - 1[/tex] (3)
By (2) and (3) in (1):
[tex]\left(\frac{y-3}{2} \right)^{2} + (x-1)^{2} = 1[/tex]
[tex]\frac{(x-1)^{2}}{1}+\frac{(y-3)^{2}}{4} = 1[/tex] (4)
The motion of the particle describes an ellipse.

amy shoots a 100 arrows at a target each arrow with a probability 0.2 what is the probability that at most one of her first 10 arrows hits the target
Answer:
0.3758 = 37.58% probability that at most one of her first 10 arrows hits the target
Step-by-step explanation:
For each shot, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they hit the target, or they do not. The probability of a shot hitting the target is independent of any other shot, 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.
Each arrow with a probability 0.2
This means that [tex]p = 0.2[/tex]
First 10 arrows
This means that [tex]n = 10[/tex]
What is the probability that at most one of her first 10 arrows hits the target?
This is:
[tex]P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{10} = 0.1074[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.2)^{1}.(0.8)^{9} = 0.2684[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.1074 + 0.2684 = 0.3758[/tex]
0.3758 = 37.58% probability that at most one of her first 10 arrows hits the target

A. It will increase by 7%.
B. It will decrease by 7%.
C. It will decrease by 1%.
D. It will increase by 1%.
Answer:
D. It will increase by 1%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]u_1 = 5\%[/tex] --- initial rate
[tex]u_2 = 3\%[/tex] --- final rate
Required
The effect on the GDP
To calculate this, we make use of:
[tex]\frac{\triangle Y}{Y} = u_1 - 2\triangle u[/tex]
This gives:
[tex]\frac{\triangle Y}{Y} = 5\% - 2(5\% - 3\%)[/tex]
[tex]\frac{\triangle Y}{Y} = 5\% - 2(2\%)[/tex]
[tex]\frac{\triangle Y}{Y} = 5\% - 4\%[/tex]
[tex]\frac{\triangle Y}{Y} = 1\%[/tex]
This implies that the GDP will increase by 1%
Answer: A. It will increase by 7%.

0 0.4167
1 0.5
2 0.0833
3 0
Step-by-step explanation:
The speedometers 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.
In this question:
7 + 2 = 9 speedometers, which means that [tex]N = 9[/tex]
2 are not correctly calibrated, which means that [tex]k = 2[/tex]
3 are chosen, which means that [tex]n = 3[/tex]
Complete the probability distribution table.
Probability of each outcome.
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 = 0) = h(0,9,3,2) = \frac{C_{2,0}*C_{7,3}}{C_{9,3}} = 0.4167[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = h(1,9,3,2) = \frac{C_{2,1}*C_{7,2}}{C_{9,3}} = 0.5[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = h(2,9,3,2) = \frac{C_{2,2}*C_{7,1}}{C_{9,3}} = 0.0833[/tex]
Only 2 defective, so [tex]P(X = 3) = 0[/tex]
