All current-carrying wires produce electromagnetic (EM) radiation, including the electrical wiring running into, through, and out of our homes. High frequency EM is thought to be a cause of cancer; the lower frequencies associated with household current are generally assumed to be harmless. The following table summarizes the probability distribution for cancer sufferers and their wiring configuration in the Denver area.

Leukemia Lymphoma Other Cancers
High Frequency wiring 0.242 0.047 0.079
Low frequency wiring 0.391 0.098 ???
(a) What is the missing probability (labelled ???) in the above table?

(b) What is the probability of having high frequency wiring among cancer suffers in the Denver area?

(c) Is the event "Having Leukemia" independent of the event "Having high frequency frequency wiring"? Explain.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]x = 0.143[/tex]

[tex]P(High\ |\ Cancer) = 0.215[/tex]

Not independent

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for proper table

Solving (a): The missing probability

First, we add up the given probabilities

[tex]Sum = 0.242+0.047+0.079+0.391+0.098[/tex]

[tex]Sum = 0.857[/tex]

The total probability must add up to 1.

If the missing probability is x, then:

[tex]x + 0.857 = 1[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]x = -0.857 + 1[/tex]

[tex]x = 0.143[/tex]

Solving (b): P(High | Cancer)

This is calculated as:

[tex]P(High\ |\ Cancer) = \frac{n(High\ n\ Cancer)}{n(Cancer)}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]P(High\ |\ Cancer) = \frac{0.079}{0.242+0.047+0.079}[/tex]

[tex]P(High\ |\ Cancer) = \frac{0.079}{0.368}[/tex]

[tex]P(High\ |\ Cancer) = 0.215[/tex]

Solving (c): P(Leukemia) independent of P(High Wiring)

From the attached table

[tex]P(Leukemia\ n\ High\ Wiring) = 0.242[/tex]

[tex]P(Leukemia) = 0.242 + 0.391 =0.633[/tex]

[tex]P(High\ Wiring) = 0.242+0.047+0.079=0.368[/tex]

If both events are independent, then:

[tex]P(Leukemia\ n\ High\ Wiring) = P(Leukemia) * P(High\ Wiring)[/tex]

[tex]0.242 = 0.633 * 0.368[/tex]

[tex]0.242 \ne 0.232[/tex]

Since the above is an inequality, then the events are not independent

All Current-carrying Wires Produce Electromagnetic (EM) Radiation, Including The Electrical Wiring Running

the 28th term of an ap is -5,find the common difference if the first term is 31​

Answers

Answer:

The common difference is -4/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the direct formula for an arithmetic sequence is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle x_n=a+d(n-1)[/tex]

Where n is the nth term, a is the initial term, and d is the common difference.

We are given that the first term a is 31.

We also know that the 28th term is -5. Hence, x₂₈ = -5. Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle x_{28}=-5=(31)+d(28-1)[/tex]

Solve for d. Simplify:

[tex]-5=31+27d[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]\displaystyle 27d=-36[/tex]

Divide both sides by 27. Hence, the common difference is:

[tex]\displaystyle d=-\frac{36}{27}=-\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

Answer:

-4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is equivalent to:

Find the slope of a line going through points (28,-5) and (1,31).

*Arithmetic sequences are linear. The common difference is the slope.

Any ways to find the slope line the points up and subtract vertically. Then put 2nd difference over 1st difference.

(28,-5)

(1,31)

---------subtracting

27, -36

So the slope or the common difference of this line or arithmetic sequence is -36/27. This reduces to -4/3.

Michele was making tuna salad for a party. The recipe for 10 servings called for 8 oz of mayonnaise. A total of 240 people were expected to be at the brunch. How much mayonnaise would Michele need?

Answers

1. Divide 240 by 10 = 24

2. Multiply 24 • 8 = 192

Michele will need 192 oz. of mayonnaise.

Answer:

192 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

1) Create a proportion

[tex]\frac{8 (oz)}{10(servings)} =\frac{x(mayo)}{240(servings)} \\\frac{8}{10} =\frac{x}{240}[/tex]

2) Solve for x

[tex]\frac{8}{10} =\frac{x}{240}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 240

[tex]\frac{8}{10} *240=x\\192=x[/tex]

Therefore, Michele would need 192 oz of mayonnaise.

Find sin A, round to the nearest hundredth.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

sin A = opp side/ hypotenuse

       

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse

a^2 + b^2 = c^2  where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

3^2 +7^2 = AC ^2

9+49 = AC ^2

58 = AC^2

Taking the square root

sqrt(58) = hypotenuse

sin A = 7/sqrt(58)

[tex]b=80[/tex]°

Step-by-step explanation:

The central angles theorem states that the measure of an angle whose vertex is the center of the circle is equivalent to the arc surrounding it. One can apply this here by stating that the measure of the arc surrounding the (90) degree angle is (90) degrees.

The total degree measure of a circle is (360). Thus one can form an equation and solve it to find the measure of the arc surrounding the angle (b). Call the arc surrounding angle (b); ([tex]b_1[/tex]).

[tex](b_1)+(90)+(110)=360[/tex]

Simplify,

[tex]b_1+200=360[/tex]

Inverse operations,

[tex]b_1+200=360[/tex]

[tex]b_1=160[/tex]

The peripheral angles theorem states that if the vertex of an angle formed between a tangent and a chord, is on the circumference (outer edge) of a circle, then the measure of the angle is equal to half of the measure of the surrouding arc. Please note that a chord is a line segment in a circle that intersects the circle in two points. A tangent is a line segment that intersects a circle at one point. One can apply this here by stating the following,

[tex]b=\frac{b_1}{2}[/tex]

Substitute,

[tex]b=\frac{160}{2}[/tex]

Solve,

[tex]b=80[/tex]

4. Andrés desea embaldosar el piso de su casa que tiene 375 cm de ancho y 435 cm de largo. Calcula la longitud del lado que tendrían las baldosas. ¿Cuántas baldosas colocaría en total?

Answers

Answer:

Sabemos que el piso es un rectángulo de 435 cm de largo y 375 cm de ancho.

Recordar que para un rectángulo de largo L, y ancho W, el área es:

A = L*W

Entonces el área del piso, será:

A = 435cm*375cm = 163,125 cm^2

Primero, sabemos que se utilizaran baldosas (las cuales son cuadradas) y queremos saber la longitud de lado que tendrían las baldosas.

No tenemos ningún criterio para encontrar este lado, solo que (si queremos usar un número entero de baldosas) el largo L del lado de la baldosa deberá ser un divisor de tanto el ancho como el largo del suelo.

Dicho de otra forma

el largo, 435cm, tiene que ser múltiplo de L

el ancho, 375cm, tiene que ser múltiplo de L.

Por ejemplo, ambos números son múltiplos de 5, entonces podríamos tomar L = 5cm

En este caso, el área de cada baldosa es:

a = L^2 = 5cm*5cm = 25cm^2

Y el número total de baldosas que necesitaría usar esta dado por el cociente entre el área del suelo y el area de cada baldosa.

N = ( 163,125 cm^2)/(25cm^2) = 6,525 baldosas.

También sabemos que ambos números (435cm y 375cm) son múltiplos de 15cm

Entonces las baldosas podrían tener 15cm de lado.

En este caso, el área de cada baldosa es:

A = (15cm)^2 = 225cm

En este caso el número total de baldosas necesarias será:

N =  ( 163,125 cm^2)/(225cm^2) = 725 baldosas.

To indirectly measure the distance across a lake, Nachelle makes use of a couple landmarks at points D and E. She measures CF, FD, and FG as marked. Find the distance across the lake (DE), rounding your answer to the nearest hundredth of a meter

Answers

Answer:

207.68 m

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram,

ΔDEC is similar to ΔFGC

Therefore,

(DE)/(FG) = (DC)/(FC).............. Equation 1

make line DE the subject of the equation

DE = [(DC)(FG)/(FC)]................ Equation 2

From the diagram,

Given: DC = 190 m, FG = 142.1 m, FC = 130 m

Substitute these values into equation 2

DE = (190×142.1/130)

DE = 207.68 m

Hence the distance across the lake is 207.68 m

Applying the similarity theorem, the distance across the lake to the nearest hundredth is: DE = 207.68 m

Recall:

The corresponding side lengths of two triangles that are similar are always proportional to each other.

Thus:

ΔCDE  and ΔCFG are similar to each other

FG = 142.1 m

FC = 130 m

DF = 60 m

DC = 130 + 60 = 190 m

Therefore:

DE/FG = DC/FC

Substitute

DE/142.1 = 190/130

Cross multiply

[tex]DE = \frac{190 \times 142.1}{130} \\\\\mathbf{DE = 207.68 $ m}[/tex] (nearest hundredth).

Therefore, applying the similarity theorem, the distance across the lake to the nearest hundredth is: DE = 207.68 m

Explanation:

The probability that she wins is m/n, where m,n are placeholders for positive whole numbers.

For instance, m = 2 and n = 5 leads to m/n = 2/5. This would mean that out of n = 5 chances, she wins m = 2 times.

The probability of her not winning is 1 - (m/n). We subtract the probability of winning from 1 to get the probability of losing.

We could leave the answer like this, but your teacher says that the answer must be "in the form of a combined single fraction".

An angle measures 16.4° less than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one angle = A

Let the other angle = B

A + B = 180

A = B - 16.4                   Substitute for A in the top equation

B - 16.4 + B = 180         Combine the left

2B - 16.4 = 180             Add 16.4 to both sides

2B = 180 + 16.4

2B = 196.4                    Divide by 2

B = 196.4/2

B = 98.2

A = B - 16.4

A = 98.2 - 16.4

A = 81.8
