American households increasingly rely on cell phones as their exclusive telephone service. It is reported that 53.0% of American households still have landline phone service. We decide to randomly call eight households and ask if the home has a landline phone.

Required:
a. What is the random variable?
b. What is the probability that none of the households in the sampled group have landline phone service?
c. What is the probability that exactly five of the households in the sampled group have a landline phone service?

Answers

Answer 1

Solution :

a). According to the reports, 53.0% of the American households still have a landline phone service. Out of which 8 households are randomly called.

Here, the landline phone service is p = 53.0%

                                                           n = 8

Therefore, q = 1 - p

                     = 1 - 0.53

                     = 0.47

here we use the binomial distance because the probability of having the landline phone service is constant and the number of the trial are finite.

b). Let x be the number of household in the sample group having landline phone service.

  Probability that none of the household in the sample group have a landline service is

= P( x = 0)

[tex]$=^8C_0 (0.53)^0(0.47)^8$[/tex]

= 0.002 (using the binomial calculation )

c). Probability that exactly 5 of the household in the sample have a landline service is given by :

 P(x = 5)

[tex]$=^8C_5 (0.53)^5(0.47)^3$[/tex]

= 0.24

The distance is about
units.

Answers

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a vague question so I understand why you reached out for help. Please not that my answer is not correct in case the problem is subliminally asking for the shortest distance, but there is no indication of that on the question prompt.

The graph is not drawn to scale.

The distance between the line and the point is 4 units.

What is Distance formula?

The formula to find the distance between the two points is usually given by d=√((c-a)² + (d-b)²). This formula is used to find the distance between any two points on a coordinate plane or x-y plane.

Given: line: y= 3x-9

put y= 3

3 = 3x-9

12 = 3x

x= 4

and, the other point is (0, 3).

Now, the distance between theses points

D= √(4-0)² + (3 -)²

D= √4²

D= √16

D= 4 units

Hence, the distance is 4 units.

math Finding the root (30points!!!!!)

Answers

Answer:

p = [tex]\frac{12}{7}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

let the root be α then the other root is 3α

The sum of the roots of a quadratic equation is

α + 3α = - [tex]\frac{b}{a}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{-8}{7}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8}{7}[/tex]

Thus 4α = [tex]\frac{8}{7}[/tex] ( divide both sides by 4 )

α = [tex]\frac{2}{7}[/tex]

The product of the roots of a quadratic equation are

α × 3α = [tex]\frac{c}{a}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{p}{7}[/tex], that is

3α² = [tex]\frac{p}{7}[/tex] ← substitute value of α

3 × ([tex]\frac{2}{7}[/tex] )² = [tex]\frac{p}{7}[/tex]

3 × [tex]\frac{4}{49}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{p}{7}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{12}{49}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{p}{7}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

49p = 84 ( divide both sides by 49 )

p = [tex]\frac{84}{49}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{12}{7}[/tex]

A species of animal is discovered on an island. Suppose that the population size P(t) of the species can be modeled by the following function, where time t is measured in years.
P(t) =800/1+ 3e^-0.29t.
Find the initial population size of the species and the population size after 10 years. Round your answers to the nearest whole number as necessary.

Answers

Answer:

The initial population is 200

The population after 10 years is 687

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]P(t) =\frac{800}{1+ 3e^{-0.29t.}}[/tex]

Solving (a): The initial population

Here:

[tex]t = 0[/tex]

Substitute 0 for t in P(t)

[tex]P(0) =\frac{800}{1+ 3e^{-0.29*0}}[/tex]

[tex]P(0) =\frac{800}{1+ 3e^{0}}[/tex]

[tex]P(0) =\frac{800}{1+ 3*1}[/tex]

[tex]P(0) =\frac{800}{1+ 3}[/tex]

[tex]P(0) =\frac{800}{4}[/tex]

[tex]P(0) =200[/tex]

The initial population is 200

Solving (b): Population after 10 years.

Here

[tex]t = 10[/tex]

Substitute 10 for t in P(t)

[tex]P(10) =\frac{800}{1+ 3e^{-0.29*10}}[/tex]

[tex]P(10) =\frac{800}{1+ 3e^{-2.9}}[/tex]

[tex]P(10) =\frac{800}{1+ 3*0.055}[/tex]

[tex]P(10) =\frac{800}{1+ 0.165}[/tex]

[tex]P(10) =\frac{800}{1.165}[/tex]

[tex]P(10) =687[/tex] -- approximated.

The population after 10 years is 687

If one line has a slope of -5/4 what would the slope of a line
parallel to that line?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]-\frac{5}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines always have equal slopes. Therefore any parallel line to a given line will share the same slope.

Answer:

-5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope but a different y intercepts, because if you think about parellel lines, they'll never intersect-- if two lines have the same slope, that means they won't be able to intersect. However, if they have the same slope, they would be coinciding (the same). That's why the y intercepts are different.

Since the slope of the first line is -5/4, the slope for the line parallel to it would also be -5/4

Find the midpoint of the segment with the following end points (10,5) and (6,9)

Answers

Answer:

The mid-point between the endpoints (10,5) and (6,9) is:

[tex]\left(x,\:y\right)=\left(8,\:7\right)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let (x, y) be the mid-point

Given the points

(10,5)(6,9)

Using the formula to find the mid-point between the endpoints (10,5) and (6,9)

[tex]\left(x,\:y\right)=\left(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\:\:\frac{y_2+y_1}{2}\right)[/tex]

Here:

[tex]\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(10,\:5\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(6,\:9\right)[/tex]

Thus,

[tex]\left(x,\:y\right)=\left(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\:\:\frac{y_2+y_1}{2}\right)[/tex]

[tex]\left(x,\:y\right)=\left(\frac{6+10}{2},\:\frac{9+5}{2}\right)[/tex]

[tex]\left(x,\:y\right)=\left(8,\:7\right)[/tex]

Therefore, the mid-point between the endpoints (10,5) and (6,9) is:

[tex]\left(x,\:y\right)=\left(8,\:7\right)[/tex]

HURRY PLEASE Benefits of Frozen Food In today's fast-paced life, having a freshly cooked meal every day may not be practical. To deal with this problem, people have the option of frozen food. Freezing is a good way to preserve the taste and color of most foods. Freezing stops microbes, which are small microorganisms, from growing on the food, and helps to keep food fresher for a prolonged period. Frozen foods are also useful because supermarkets can store them for a long time, so one can buy frozen fruits and vegetables all year round, without seasonal boundaries. Furthermore, frozen foods make cooking much easier and quicker, because most frozen foods are already half-cooked, chopped, or cut. These half-cooked frozen foods often contain a lot of preservatives such as salt and sugar, which are bad for health. But, they also help make life simpler for those who do not have the time to cook food from scratch. For example, a frozen apple pie is already put togetherall one has to do is bake it. At home, people can cook a number of dishes when they have the time. In fact, there is no comparison to a delicious, hot meal cooked at home with the freshest ingredients. However, frozen foods can be stored for several weeks or months, making them the best choice if one wants to have meals that are instantly ready for consumption.5Which evidence from the passage is an example of unsound reasoning in support of the author's point that frozen food is better than meals cooked from scratch? A. Freezing ensures that the microbes do not spoil the nutritional value of the food. B. Some frozen foods contain ingredients that may not be good for health. C. All types of frozen fruits and vegetables can be found in supermarkets. D. Frozen food is a practical option as it can be stored for a long period of time. Please help me!
