Answer:
32/1125Step-by-step explanation:
Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.
Probability = Expected outcome of event/Total outcome.
If a video rental store keeps a list of their top 15 movie rentals each week, the total outcome is 15.
If the list for the week includes 6 action, 4 comedies, 3 dramas, and 2 mysteries and the store manager removes a copy of each of the 15 movies from the shelf, then randomly selects 3 of the 15 to show on the display monitors in the store, the probability that she selected 2 comedies and 1 action movie will be calculated as shown;
Probability of selecting 2 comedies = 4/15*4/15 = 16/225 (Note that the expected outcome in this case is 4).
Probability of selecting 1 action movie = 6/15 = 2/5
Hence, the probability that she selected 2 comedies and 1 action movie will be equivalent to 16/225*2/5 = 32/1125
Note that the rented movies will have to be returned hence reason for the replacement.
What is the 25th term in the following arithmetic sequence? -7, -2, 3, 8, ...

Explain how changes in the dimensions of a cube dimensions affect the volume of a cube. Be specific, explaining how much the volume will change with each increase of 1 unit on the side lengths.
Answer:
when each side length of a cube increases by 1 unit, the volume increases by 3x² + 3x + 1 (units)³
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the initial length of the sides of the cube = x unit
when the length of the cube = x ; volume of the cube = length × breadth × height = x × x × x = x³ (unit)³
when the length increased by 1 unit,
new length = (x + 1) unit
New volume = (x + 1) × (x + 1) × (x + 1)
multiplying the first two brackets
New volume = (x² + 2x + 1 ) (x + 1)
espanding the brackets
New volume = x³ + 2x² + x + x² + 2x + 1
New volume = x³ + 3x² + 3x + 1 (unit)³
Change in volume:
(New volume) - (old volume)
(x³ + 3x² + 3x + 1) - (x³)
x³ + 3x² + 3x + 1 - x³
collecting like terms:
(x³ - x³) + 3x² + 3x + 1
0 + 3x² + 3x + 1
change in volume = 3x² + 3x + 1
Therefore, when each side length of a cube increases by 1 unit, the volume increases by 3x² + 3x + 1 (units)³

The graph of F(x), shown below, has the same shape as the graph of
G(x) = x, but it is shifted up 2 units. What is its equation?
Greetings from Brasil...
We know that the translations are established as follows:
→ Horizontal
F(X + k) ⇒ k units to the left
F(X - k) ⇒ k units to the right
→ Vertical
F(X) + k ⇒ k units up
F(X) - k ⇒ k units down
G(X) = X and F(X) is G(X) shifted up 2 units.
In the statement it is said that there was a translation of 2 units upwards, so
F(X) = G(X) + k where k = 2 units up
F(X) = X + 2Find the x-values (if any) at which f is not continuous. Which of the discontinuities are removable? (Enter your answers from smallest to largest. Enter NONE in any unused answer blanks.) f(x) = x + 3 x2 − 2x − 15
Answer:
-3 (removable), +5
Step-by-step explanation:
Maybe you have ...
[tex]f(x)=\dfrac{x+3}{x^2-2x-15}=\dfrac{x+3}{(x+3)(x-5)}=\dfrac{1}{x-5}\quad x\ne-3[/tex]
This will have discontinuities (points where the function is undefined) at ...
x = -3x = 5The discontinuity as x = -3 is removable by defining f(-3) = -1/8.

Suppose that you borrow $1000.00 from a friend and promise to pay back $1390.00 in 2 years. What simple interest rate will you pay?
The simple interest rate is % (Round to the nearest tenth as needed.)
Answer:
19.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the formula I = prt, where I is the interest money, p is the starting amount of money, r is the interest rate, and t is the time that the money was borrowed.
Plug in the values and solve for r:
390 = (1000)(r)(2)
390 = 2000r
0.195 = r
r = 19.5%
Answer:
19.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
Simple Interest = Principal x Time x Rate in % / 100
SI = 1000 x 2 x a / 100
=> SI = 10 x 2 x a
=> SI = 20a
Total Amount = SI + Principal
=> 1390 = 20a + 1000
=> 1390 - 1000 = 20a +1000 - 1000
=> 390 = 20a
=> 390/20 = 20a/20
=> 19.5 = a
Let's recheck
=> 1000 x 2 x 19.5 /100
=> 10 x 2 x 19.5
=> 195 x 2
=> 390
1390 = 390 + 1000
=> 1390 = 1390
So, the interest rate is 19.5 %

Combine like terms. What is a simpler form of each expression? 4c-4d+8c-3d
Answer:
12c-7d
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]4c-4d+8c-3d=0\\4c+8c=3d+4d\\12c=7d\\12c-7d[/tex]
===============================================
Explanation:
The terms 4c and 8c are one pair of like terms that combine to 4c+8c = 12c. We add 4 and 8 to get 12, then tack a 'c' at the end
The other pair of like terms are -4d and -3d. They combine to -7d for similar reasoning.
12c and -7d are not like terms, so we can't combine them and we stop here.
-----------
One way to think of combining like terms is consider simplifying 2c+3c. You could say that 2c represents having 2 cups while 3c is having 3 cups. Writing 2c+3c means we start with 2 cups and add on 3 more getting a total of 2+3 = 5 cups. Symbolically we would then write 5c. Therefore 2c+3c = 5c.

Find the fourth roots of 16(cos 200° + i sin 200°).
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find roots of an equation, we use this formula:
[tex]z^{\frac{1}{n}}=r^{\frac{1}{n}}(cos(\frac{\theta}{n}+\frac{2k\pi}{n} )+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{\theta}{n}+\frac{2k\pi}{n})),[/tex] where k = 0, 1, 2, 3... (n = root; equal to n - 1; dependent on the amount of roots needed - 0 is included).
In this case, n = 4.
Therefore, we adjust the polar equation we are given and modify it to be solved for the roots.
Part 2: Solving for root #1
To solve for root #1, make k = 0 and substitute all values into the equation. On the second step, convert the measure in degrees to the measure in radians by multiplying the degrees measurement by [tex]\frac{\pi}{180}[/tex] and simplify.
[tex]z^{\frac{1}{4}}=16^{\frac{1}{4}}(cos(\frac{200}{4}+\frac{2(0)\pi}{4}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{200}{4}+\frac{2(0)\pi}{4}))[/tex]
[tex]z^{\frac{1}{4}}=2(cos(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{\pi}{4}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{\pi}{4}))[/tex]
[tex]z^{\frac{1}{4}} = 2(sin(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{\pi}{4}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{\pi}{4}))[/tex]
Root #1:
[tex]\large\boxed{z^\frac{1}{4}=2(cos(\frac{19\pi}{36}))+\mathfrack{i}(sin(\frac{19\pi}{38}))}[/tex]
Part 3: Solving for root #2
To solve for root #2, follow the same simplifying steps above but change k to k = 1.
[tex]z^{\frac{1}{4}}=16^{\frac{1}{4}}(cos(\frac{200}{4}+\frac{2(1)\pi}{4}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{200}{4}+\frac{2(1)\pi}{4}))[/tex]
[tex]z^{\frac{1}{4}}=2(cos(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{2\pi}{4}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{2\pi}{4}))\\[/tex]
[tex]z^{\frac{1}{4}}=2(cos(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{\pi}{2}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{\pi}{2}))\\[/tex]
Root #2:
[tex]\large\boxed{z^{\frac{1}{4}}=2(cos(\frac{7\pi}{9}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{7\pi}{9}))}[/tex]
Part 4: Solving for root #3
To solve for root #3, follow the same simplifying steps above but change k to k = 2.
[tex]z^{\frac{1}{4}}=16^{\frac{1}{4}}(cos(\frac{200}{4}+\frac{2(2)\pi}{4}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{200}{4}+\frac{2(2)\pi}{4}))[/tex]
[tex]z^{\frac{1}{4}}=2(cos(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{4\pi}{4}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{4\pi}{4}))\\[/tex]
[tex]z^{\frac{1}{4}}=2(cos(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\pi))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\pi))\\[/tex]
Root #3:
[tex]\large\boxed{z^{\frac{1}{4}}=2(cos(\frac{23\pi}{18}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{23\pi}{18}))}[/tex]
Part 4: Solving for root #4
To solve for root #4, follow the same simplifying steps above but change k to k = 3.
[tex]z^{\frac{1}{4}}=16^{\frac{1}{4}}(cos(\frac{200}{4}+\frac{2(3)\pi}{4}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{200}{4}+\frac{2(3)\pi}{4}))[/tex]
[tex]z^{\frac{1}{4}}=2(cos(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{6\pi}{4}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{6\pi}{4}))\\[/tex]

You have found the following ages (in years) of all 666 lions at your local zoo: 13,2,1,5,2,7 What is the average age of the lions at your zoo? What is the standard deviation? Average age: _____ years old Standard deviation: ____ years
Answer:
[tex]Mean = 5[/tex]
[tex]S_x = 4.123[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Number of Lions, n: 6
Ages: 13, 2, 1, 5, 2, 7
Required
Determine the:
1. Mean
2. Standard Deviation
Mean is calculated as;
[tex]Mean = \frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex]
[tex]Mean = \frac{13+2+1+5+2+7}{6}[/tex]
[tex]Mean = \frac{30}{6}[/tex]
[tex]Mean = 5[/tex]
Standard Deviation is calculated as follows
[tex]S_x = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x_i - Mx)^2}{N}}[/tex]
Where Mx represent mean
Substitute values for x, Mean and Land
[tex]S_x = \sqrt{\frac{(13 - 5)^2+(2 - 5)^2+(1 - 5)^2+(5 - 5)^2+(2 - 5)^2+(7 - 5)^2}{6}}[/tex]
[tex]S_x = \sqrt{\frac{(8)^2+(- 3)^2+(-4)^2+(0)^2+(-3)^2+(2)^2}{6}}[/tex]
[tex]S_x = \sqrt\frac{64+9+16+0+9+4}{6}}[/tex]
[tex]S_x = \sqrt\frac{102}{6}}[/tex]
[tex]S_x = \sqrt{17}[/tex]
[tex]S_x = 4.123[/tex]
The mean and standard deviation is 5 and 4.123 respectively
We want to find the mean or average and the standard deviation of the given set.
The average age is 5 years old and the standard deviation is 4.52 years old.
We know that for a general set of N elements {x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ} the average or mean is given by:
[tex]M = \frac{x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_n}{N}[/tex]
And the standard deviation is given by:
[tex]S = \sqrt{\frac{(x_1 - M)^2 + ... + (x_n - M)^2}{N - 1}[/tex]
The given set is:
{13, 2, 1, 5, 2, 7}
Now we just need to use the two given formulas for our set.
The mean is:
[tex]M = \frac{13 + 2 + 1+ 5 + 2 +7}{6} = 5[/tex]
And the standard deviation is:
[tex]S = \sqrt{\frac{(13 - 5)^2 + (2 - 5)^2 + (1 - 5)^2 + (5 - 5)^2 + (2 - 5)^2 + (7 - 5)^2}{6 - 1} } = 4.52[/tex]
So the average age is 5 years old and the standard deviation is 4.52 years old.

(16 points) Find the radius of convergence and the interval of convergence of the power series. g
Answer:
The equation to be solved is missing in the question.
I will explain power series and ways to find the radius and interval of convergence of a powers series in the attached image.
Step-by-step explanation:
Understand the power seriesFind radius of convergenceDetermine interval of convergenceA quality control manager is concerned about variability of the net weight of his company’s individual yogurt cups. To check the consistency, he takes a random sample of sixteen 6-ounce yogurt cups and finds the mean of the sampled weights to be 5.85 ounces and the sample standard deviation to be 0.2 ounce.
Requried:
a. Test the hypotheses H0: µ ≥ 6 Ha: µ < 6 at the 5% level of significance. Assume the population of yogurt-cup net weights is approximately normally distributed.
b. Based on the results of the test, will the manager be satisfied that the company is not under-filling its cups?
c. State the decision rule, the test statistic, and the manager’s decision.
Answer:
a) We reject H₀
b) The manager won´t be satisfied with nominal filling its cup
c) See step-by-step explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal distribution n < 30, therefore, we should use t - student table
Sample size n = 16
degree of freedom = df = n - 1 df = 15
Sample mean μ = 5,85 ou
Sample standard deviation is s = 0,2 ou
Hypothesis test
Null hypothesis H₀ μ >= μ₀
Alternative hypothesis Hₐ μ < μ₀
CI = 95 % then α = 5 % α = 0,05 α/2 = 0,025
Then in t-student table we find t(c) = 1,753
To calculate t(s)
t(s) = ( μ - μ₀ ) s/√n
t(s) = ( 5,85 - 6 ) / 0,2/√16
t(s) = - 0,15* 4 / 0,2
t(s) = - 3
To compare t(s) and t(c)
|t(s)| > |t(c)| 3 > 1,753
Then t(s) is in the rejection region. We should reject H₀. Data indicate that at 95 % of CI μ seems to be smaller than 6 ou
b) The manager won´t be satisfied with nominal filling its cup

Answer:
The 95% confidence interval is [tex]0.3795 < p < 0.4405[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The sample size is [tex]n = 1000[/tex]
The number of approved loan is k = 410
Generally the sample proportion is mathematically represented as
[tex]\r p = \frac{k}{n}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]\r p = \frac{410}{1000}[/tex]
[tex]\r p = 0.41[/tex]
Given that the confidence level is 95% then the level of significance is mathematically represented as
[tex]\alpha = 100 - 95[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = 5\%[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]
Next we obtain the critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table,the value is
[tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =Z_{\frac{0.05 }{2} }= 1.96[/tex]
Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as
[tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{\frac{\r p(1- \r p)}{n} }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]E = 1.96 * \sqrt{\frac{ 0.41(1- 0.41)}{1000} }[/tex]
[tex]E = 0.03048[/tex]
The 95% confidence interval for p is mathematically represented as
[tex]\r p - E < p < \r p + E[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]0.41 - 0.03048 < p < 0.41 + 0.03048[/tex]

What is a categorical variable
It's a variable that deals with various labels, rather than the usual type of numeric variable you may be used to.
One example of a categorical variable is color. You could have red, green, blue, yellow, and orange as the five choices for your categorical variable. Each color is a label or category.
This is an example of a qualitative variable. We don't have any numeric data attached to color. They're simply names or labels. In contrast, a quantitative variable is something like a person's height since a number is attached here (more specifically its a continuous quantitative variable).
