A radio telescope has a parabolic surface, as shown below. A parabola opening up with vertex at the origin is graphed on the coordinate plane. The height of the parabola from top to bottom is 9 meters and its width from left to right is 12 meters. If the telescope is 9 m deep and 12 m wide, how far is the focus from the vertex?

Answers

Answer 1

The telescope shape and the characteristic equations of the telescope parameters are the same as parabolic equations

The distance between the focus and the vertex, of the parabola is 3.375 meters

The process for obtain the above values is as follows:

The known parameters of the parabola are;

The location of the vertex of the parabola= The origin = (0, 0)

The height of the parabola = 9 meters

The width of the parabola = 12 meters

The unknown parameter;

The distance between the focus and the vertex

Method:

Finding the coordinate of the focus from the general equations of the the parameters of a parabola

The equation of the parabola in standard form is y = a·(x - h)² + k

From which we have;

(x - h)² = 4·p·(y - k)

The coordinates of the focus, f = (h, k + p)

Where;

(h, k) = The coordinates of the vertex of the parabola = (0, 0)

a = 1/(4·p)

From the question, we have the following two points on the parabola,

given that the parabola is 12 meters wide at 9 meters above the origin and

it is symmetric about the y-axis;

Points on the parabola = (9, 6), and (9, -6)

Plugging in the values of the vertex, (h, k) and the two known points, in the equation, y = a·(x - h)² + k, we get;

6 = a·(9 - 0)² + 0 = 81·a

a = 6/81 = 2/27

p = 1/(4·a)

∴ p = 1/(4 × 2/27) = 27/8

The coordinate of the focus, f =  (h, k + p)

∴ f = (0, 0 + 27/8) = (0, 27/8)

The coordinate of the focus f = (0, 27/8)

Given the vertex and the focus of the parabola have the same x-values of 0, we have;

The distance between the focus and the vertex, d = the difference in their y-values;

d = 27/8 - 0 = 27/8 = 3.375

The distance between the focus and the vertex, d = 3.375 meters

A sample of unknown size of phone users was selected, and the mean time they spent on their phones was 12.2 hours in a week, with a standard deviation of 2.3 hours. Using a 90% confidence level, how many people would the company have to sample in order for their hypothesis to be true

Answers

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample size should be 30 for the given confidence interval of 90%.

Sample size is calculated as follows:

Sample size = Z score ^2 * standard deviation * [ 1 - Standard deviation] / margin of error^2

For the given 90% confidence level, the sample size calculated as;

Sample size = 1.645^2 * 2.3 [1 - 2.3] / 0.01^2

c. The field goal percentage for the Lions was of 56.01%.

d. The field goal percentage for the Eagles was of 34.43%.

e. The Lions scored 96 points.

f. The Eagles scored 64 points.

g. Lions

Step-by-step explanation:

a. What is the free throw percentage for the Lions?

10 out of 16, so:

10*100%/16 = 62.5%.

The free throw percentage for the Lions is of 62.5%.

b. What is the free throw percentage for the Eagles?

10 out of 27, so:

10*100%/27 = 37.04%

The free throw percentage for the Eagles was of 37.04%.

c. What is the field goal percentage (two-point and three-point shots combined) for the Lions?

25 + 12 = 37 out of 50 + 16 = 66. So

A survey of households in a small town showed that in 850 of 1,200 sampled households, at least one member attended a town meeting during the year. Using the 99% level of confidence, what is the confidence interval for the proportion of households represented at a town meeting?

Answers

Answer:

Hence the confidence interval is ( 0.6745, 0.7422).

Step-by-step explanation:

Now the given are  

Sample size = n = 1200  

x = 850  

Sample proportion is  

[tex]\hat{p}=\frac{x}{n}=\frac{850}{1200}=0.7083[/tex]  

We have to construct 99% confidence interval for the population proportion.  

Formula Used:  

[tex](\hat{p}-E , \hat{p}+E)[/tex]  

Here E is a margin of error.  

[tex]E =Zc\times\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}[/tex]  

Zc = 2.58  

[tex]E =2.58\times\sqrt{\frac{0.7083*(1-0.7083)}{1200}}\\\\E=2.58\times\sqrt{0.000172}=0.0339[/tex]  

So confidence interval is ( 0.7083 - 0.0339 , 0.7083 + 0.0339)

                                            = ( 0.6745 , 0.7422).

it is found that 4% of watches produced at a particular factory are defective. If 20 watches made at this factory are randomly selected, what is the probbility that at mpst 1 watch in the same sample is found to be defective

Answers

Answer:

0.81 = 81% probability that at most 1 watch in the sample is defective.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each watch, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is defective, or it is not. The probability of a watch being defective is independent of any other watch, 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.

4% of watches produced at a particular factory are defective.

This means that [tex]p = 0.04[/tex]

20 watches made at this factory are randomly selected

This means that [tex]n = 20[/tex]

What is the probability that at most 1 watch in the same sample is found to be defective?

This is:

[tex]P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{20,0}.(0.04)^{0}.(0.96)^{20} = 0.442[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{20,1}.(0.04)^{1}.(0.96)^{19} = 0.368[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.442 + 0.368 = 0.81[/tex]

0.81 = 81% probability that at most 1 watch in the sample is defective.

13% VAT is levied on a handicraft after 10% discount. If the VAT amount is Rs 910, then find the marked price and selling price of it with VAT.​

Answers

Answer:

The marked price was $ 7,777.77, and the selling price of it with VAT was $ 7,910.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 13% VAT is levied on a handicraft after 10% discount, if the VAT amount is $ 910, to find the marked price and selling price of it with VAT the following calculations must be performed:

13 = 910

100 = X

100 x 910/13 = X

91,000 / 13 = X

7000 = X

0.9 = 7000

1 = X

7000 / 0.9 = X

7,777.77 = X

Therefore, the marked price was $ 7,777.77, and the selling price of it with VAT was $ 7,910.

1) x = 3y-1/6

It is assumed that the time customers spend in a record store is uniformly distributed between 3 and 12 minutes. Based on this information, what is the probability that a customer will be exactly 7.50 minutes in the record store

Answers

Answer:

0% probability that a customer will be exactly 7.50 minutes in the record store.

Step-by-step explanation:

Uniform probability distribution:

An uniform distribution has two bounds, a and b.  

The probability of finding a value of at lower than x is:

[tex]P(X < x) = \frac{x - a}{b - a}[/tex]

The probability of finding a value between c and d is:

[tex]P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d - c}{b - a}[/tex]

The probability of finding a value above x is:

[tex]P(X > x) = \frac{b - x}{b - a}[/tex]

The uniform distribution is a continuous distribution, which means that the probability of an exact outcome is zero.

Uniformly distributed between 3 and 12 minutes.

This means that [tex]a = 3, b = 12[/tex]

What is the probability that a customer will be exactly 7.50 minutes in the record store?

Continuous distribution, so:

0% probability that a customer will be exactly 7.50 minutes in the record store.
