Answer:

0.000014

Step-by-step explanation:

The chart is not provided so i will use an example chart to explain the answer. Here is a sample chart:

City X's Population by Age

0-24 years old 33%

25-44 years old 22%

45-64 years old 21%

65 or older 24%

In order to find probability of independent events we find the probability of each event occurring separately and then multiply the calculated probabilities together in the following way:

P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B)

probability that the first 2 are 65 or older

Let A be the event that the first 2 are 65 or older

The probability of 65 or older 24% i.e. 0.24

So the probability that first 2 are 65 or older is:

0.24(select resident 1) * 0.24(select resident 2)

P(A) = 0.24 * 0.24

       = 0.0576

P(A) = 0.0576

probability that the next 3 are 25-44 years old

Let B be the event that the next 3 are 25-44 years old

25-44 years old 22%  i.e. 0.22

So the probability that the next 3 are 25-44 years old is:

0.22 * 0.22* 0.22

P(B) = 0.22 * 0.22 * 0.22

      = 0.010648

P(B) = 0.010648

probability that next 2 are 24 or younger

Let C be the event that the next 2 are 24 or younger

0-24 years old 33% i.e. 0.33

So the probability that the next 2 are 24 or younger is:

0.33 * 0.33

P(C) = 0.33 * 0.33

       = 0.1089

P(C) = 0.1089

probability that last is 45-64 years old

Let D be the event that last is 45-64 years old

45-64 years old 21%  i.e. 0.21

So the probability that last is 45-64 years old is:

0.21

P(D) = 0.21

So probability of these independent events is computed as:

P(A and B and C and D) = P(A) * P(B) * P(C) * P(C)

                                        = 0.0576 * 0.010648  * 0.1089  * 0.21

                                        = 0.000014

First find the critical points of f :

[tex]f(x,y)=2x^2+3y^2-4x-5=2(x-1)^2+3y^2-7[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=2(x-1)=0\implies x=1[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=6y=0\implies y=0[/tex]

so the point (1, 0) is the only critical point, at which we have

[tex]f(1,0)=-7[/tex]

Next check for critical points along the boundary, which can be found by converting to polar coordinates:

[tex]f(x,y)=f(10\cos t,10\sin t)=g(t)=295-40\cos t-100\cos^2t[/tex]

Find the critical points of g :

[tex]\dfrac{\mathrm dg}{\mathrm dt}=40\sin t+200\sin t\cos t=40\sin t(1+5\cos t)=0[/tex]

[tex]\implies\sin t=0\text{ OR }1+5\cos t=0[/tex]

[tex]\implies t=n\pi\text{ OR }t=\cos^{-1}\left(-\dfrac15\right)+2n\pi\text{ OR }t=-\cos^{-1}\left(-\dfrac15\right)+2n\pi[/tex]

where n is any integer. We get 4 critical points in the interval [0, 2π) at

[tex]t=0\implies f(10,0)=155[/tex]

[tex]t=\cos^{-1}\left(-\dfrac15\right)\implies f(-2,4\sqrt6)=299[/tex]

[tex]t=\pi\implies f(-10,0)=235[/tex]

[tex]t=2\pi-\cos^{-1}\left(-\dfrac15\right)\implies f(-2,-4\sqrt6)=299[/tex]

So f has a minimum of -7 and a maximum of 299.

6y > 6

6y/6 > 6/6

y > 1

Answer: [tex]\dfrac{8}{\pi}[/tex] .

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the rate of change of function f(x) from x=a to x= b is given by :-

[tex]k=\dfrac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}[/tex]

The given points on graph  :  (0, -4) and (pi over 2, 0) and (pi, 4) and (3 pi over 2, 0) and (2 pi, -4).

The rate of change from x = 0 to x = pi over 2 will be :-

[tex]\dfrac{0-(-4)}{\dfrac{\pi}{2}-0}=\dfrac{4}{\dfrac{\pi}{2}}[/tex]     [By using points (0, -4) and (pi over 2, 0) ]

[tex]=\dfrac{8}{\pi}[/tex]

Hence, the rate of change from x = 0 to x = pi over 2 is [tex]\dfrac{8}{\pi}[/tex] .

Answer:

3/11

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question, we have the following information

Total number of balls = 12

Number of white balls = 4

Number of blue balls = 3

Number of red balls = 5

We solve this question using combination formula

C(n, r) = nCr = n!/r!(n - r)!

We are told that 3 balls are drawn out at random.

The chance/probability of drawing out 3 balls = 12C3 = 12!/3! × (12 - 3)! = 12!/3! × 9!

= 12 × 11 × 10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1/(3 × 2 × 1) × (9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1)

= 220 ways

The chance of selecting 3 balls at random = 220

To find the chance that all the three balls are selected,

= [Chance of selecting (white ball) × Chance of selecting(blue ball) × Chance of selecting(red balls)]/ The chance/probability of drawing out 3 balls

Chance of selecting (white ball)= 4C1

Chance of selecting(blue ball) = 3C1 Chance of selecting(red balls) = 5C1

Hence,

= [4C1 × 3C1 × 5C1]/ 220

= 60/220

= 6/22

= 3/11

The chance that all three are selected is = 3/11

Answer:

The probability that a particular firm selected has $1 million or more in income after taxes is 49%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a study of 200 computer service firms revealed these incomes after taxes below;

         Income After Taxes                  Number of Firms

           Under $1 million                              102

      $1 million up to $20 million                    61

           $20 million or more                          37      

                 Total                                           200    

Now, the probability that a particular firm selected has $1 million or more in income after taxes is given by;

Total number of firms = 102 + 61 + 37 = 200

Number of firms having $1 million or more in income after taxes = 61 + 37 = 98  {here under $1 million data is not include}

So, the required probability =  [tex]\frac{\text{Firms with \$1 million or more in income after taxes}}{\text{Total number of firms}}[/tex]

                                           =  [tex]\frac{98}{200}[/tex]

                                           =  0.49 or 49%

The probability that a particular firm selected has $1 million or more in income after taxes is 0.49 or 49%.

Probability means possibility. It deals with the occurrence of a random event. The value of probability can only be from 0 to 1. Its basic meaning is something is likely to happen. It is the ratio of the favorable event to the total number of events.

A study of 200 computer service firms revealed these incomes after taxes:

Income After Taxes Number of Firms Under

$1 million 102

$1 million up to $20 million 61

$20 million or more 37.

Then the total event will be

Total event = 102 + 37 +61 = 200

The probability that a particular firm selected has $1 million or more in income after taxes will be

Favorable event = 37 + 61 = 98

Then the probability will be

[tex]\rm P = \dfrac{98}{200} \\\\P = 0.49 \ or \ 49 \%[/tex]

On Monday, she and her friends eat 4 pounds. So we have 8 now.

On Tuesday, she and her friends eat another 3 pounds. So we gave 5 now.

On Wednesday, her friend Mark gives her some more cheesecake so that she has 3 times as much as she had at the end of Tuesday. 5 * 3 = 15

On Thursday, some of her cheesecake goes bad, so she has the amount that she had at the end of Wednesday, but divided by 5. She had 15 at the end of Wednesday. 15/5 = 3.

On Friday, she gives 3 pounds to her dog. 5 - 3 = 2.

On Saturday, her mom gives her one more pound. 2 + 1 = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

(A) A 95% confidence for the population mean is [$332.16, $447.84] .

(B) If the confidence level in part (a) changed from 95% to 99%, then the margin of error for the confidence interval would increase.

(C) If the sample size in part (a) changed from 19 to 22, then the margin of error for the confidence interval would decrease.

(D) A 99% confidence interval for the proportion of students who purchase used textbooks is [0.363, 0.477]  .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 19 students are randomly selected the sample mean was $390 and the standard deviation was $120.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for finding the confidence interval for the population mean is given by;

                             P.Q.  =  [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]  ~ [tex]t_n_-_1[/tex]

where, [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample mean = $390

            s = sample standard deviation = $120

            n = sample of students = 19

            [tex]\mu[/tex] = population mean

Here for constructing a 95% confidence interval we have used a One-sample t-test statistics because we don't know about population standard deviation.

So, 95% confidence interval for the population mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is ;

P(-2.101 < [tex]t_1_8[/tex] < 2.101) = 0.95  {As the critical value of t at 18 degrees of

                                               freedom are -2.101 & 2.101 with P = 2.5%}  

P(-2.101 < [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < 2.101) = 0.95

P( [tex]-2.101 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < [tex]{\bar X-\mu}[/tex] < [tex]2.101 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ) = 0.95

P( [tex]\bar X-2.101 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < [tex]\mu[/tex] < [tex]\bar X+2.101 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ) = 0.95

95% confidence interval for [tex]\mu[/tex] = [ [tex]\bar X-2.101 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] , [tex]\bar X+2.101 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ]

                        = [ [tex]\$390-2.101 \times {\frac{\$120}{\sqrt{19} } }[/tex] , [tex]\$390+2.101 \times {\frac{\$120}{\sqrt{19} } }[/tex] ]

                        = [$332.16, $447.84]

(A)  Therefore, a 95% confidence for the population mean is [$332.16, $447.84] .

(B) If the confidence level in part (a) changed from 95% to 99%, then the margin of error for the confidence interval which is [tex]Z_(_\frac{\alpha}{2}_) \times \frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex] would increase because of an increase in the z value.

(C) If the sample size in part (a) changed from 19 to 22, then the margin of error for the confidence interval which is [tex]Z_(_\frac{\alpha}{2}_) \times \frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]  would decrease because as denominator increases; the whole fraction decreases.

(D) We are given that to estimate the proportion of students who purchase their textbooks used, 500 students were sampled. 210 of these students purchased used textbooks.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for finding the confidence interval for the population proportion is given by;

                             P.Q.  =  [tex]\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }[/tex]  ~ N(0,1)

where, [tex]\hat p[/tex] = sample proportion students who purchase their used textbooks = [tex]\frac{210}{500}[/tex] = 0.42    

            n = sample of students = 500

            p = population proportion

Here for constructing a 99% confidence interval we have used a One-sample z-test statistics for proportions

So, 99% confidence interval for the population proportion, p is ;

P(-2.58 < N(0,1) < 2.58) = 0.99  {As the critical value of z at 0.5%

                                               level of significance are -2.58 & 2.58}  

P(-2.58 < [tex]\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }[/tex] < 2.58) = 0.99

P( [tex]-2.58 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }[/tex] < [tex]{\hat p-p}[/tex] < [tex]2.58 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }[/tex] ) = 0.99

P( [tex]\hat p-2.58 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }[/tex] < p < [tex]\hat p+2.58 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }[/tex] ) = 0.99

99% confidence interval for p = [ [tex]\hat p-2.58 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }[/tex] , [tex]\hat p+2.58 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }[/tex] ]

= [ [tex]0.42 -2.58 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.42(1-0.42)}{500} } }[/tex] , [tex]0.42 +2.58 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.42(1-0.42)}{500} } }[/tex] ]

= [0.363, 0.477]

Therefore, a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of students who purchase used textbooks is [0.363, 0.477]  .

Apllying cos on the triangle

cos(angle)= Base/ Hyp

cos(34)= 29/ AB

AB= 29/0.8290

AB=34.98

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of AB is 34.98 units which the correct answer would be an option (D).

A right triangle is defined as a triangle in which one angle is a right angle or two sides are perpendicular.

Trigonometric functions are defined as the functions which show the relationship between the angle and sides of a right-angled triangle.

Given that ΔABC

∠C = 90°

Here base = BC = 29 units and hypotenuse = AB

To determine the length of AB

Apply the cosine on the given right triangle

⇒ cos(θ) = Base/hypotenuse

⇒ cos(34) = 29/ AB

∴ cos(34°) = 0.8290

⇒ 0.8290 = 29/ AB

⇒ AB= 29/0.8290

⇒ AB = 34.98 units

Hence, the length of AB is  34.98 units

D. [tex]f(x) = 2\cdot x^{2}-4\cdot x -16[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Any parabola is modelled by a second-order polynomial, whose standard form is:

[tex]y = a\cdot x^{2}+b\cdot x + c[/tex]

Where:

[tex]x[/tex] - Independent variable, dimensionless.

[tex]y[/tex] - Dependent variable, dimensionless.

[tex]a[/tex], [tex]b[/tex], [tex]c[/tex] - Coefficients, dimensionless.

In addition, a system of three linear equations is constructed by using all known inputs:

(-2, 0)

[tex]4\cdot a -2\cdot b + c = 0[/tex] (Eq. 1)

(4, 0)

[tex]16\cdot a + 4\cdot b +c = 0[/tex] (Eq. 2)

(0,-16)

[tex]c = -16[/tex] (Eq. 3)

Then,

[tex]4\cdot a - 2\cdot b = 16[/tex] (Eq. 4)

[tex]16\cdot a + 4\cdot b = 16[/tex] (Eq. 5)

(Eq. 3 in Eqs. 1 - 2)

[tex]a - 0.5\cdot b = 4[/tex] By Eq. 4 (Eq. 4b)

[tex]a = 4 + 0.5\cdot b[/tex]

Then,

[tex]16\cdot (4+0.5\cdot b) + 4\cdot b = 16[/tex] (Eq. 4b in Eq. 5)

[tex]64 + 12\cdot b = 16[/tex]

[tex]12\cdot b = -48[/tex]

[tex]b = -4[/tex]

The remaining coeffcient is:

[tex]a = 4 + 0.5\cdot b[/tex]

[tex]a = 4 + 0.5\cdot (-4)[/tex]

[tex]a = 2[/tex]

The function that represents a parabola with zeroes at x = -2 and x = 4 and y-intercept (0,16) is [tex]f(x) = 2\cdot x^{2}-4\cdot x -16[/tex]. Thus, the right answer is D.

Answer:

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

Step 1: Write out systems of equations

-x + 3y = 3

x - 3y = 3

Step 2: Rewrite equations into slope-intercept form

3y = 3 + x

y = 1 + x/3

-3y = 3 - x

y = -1 + x/3

Step 3: Rewrite systems of equations

y = x/3 + 1

y = x/3 - 1

Since we have the same slope for both equations but different y-intercepts, we know that both lines are parallel. If that is the case, they will never touch or intersect each other. Therefore, we have no solution.

Answer:

  subtracting 56 instead of adding (or adding wrong)

Step-by-step explanation:

She wrote ...

  x - 56 = 230

  x - 56 - 56 = 230 -56 . . . . correct application of the addition property*

  x = 230 -56 . . . . . . . . . . . . incorrect simplification

Correctly done, the third line would be ...

  x -112 = 174

This would have made Sherina realize that the error was in subtracting 56 instead of adding it. The correct solution would be ...

  x - 56 + 56 = 230 + 56 . . . using the addition property of equality

  x = 286 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . correct simplification on both sides

__

There were two errors:

  1) incorrect strategy --- subtracting 56 instead of adding

  2) incorrect simplification --- simplifying -56 -56 to zero instead of -112

We don't know whether you want to count the error in thinking as the first error, or the error in execution where the mechanics of addition were incorrectly done.

_____

* The addition property of equality requires the same number be added to both sides of the equation. Sherina did that correctly. However, the number chosen to be added was the opposite of the number that would usefully work toward a solution.

The other addend is determined by subtracting [tex]-5\cdot a^{2}\cdot b^{2}+12\cdot a^{2}\cdot b-5[/tex] from [tex]10\cdot a^{2}\cdot b^{2}-8\cdot a^{2}\cdot b + 6\cdot a\cdot b^{2}-4\cdot a \cdot b + 2[/tex]:

[tex]x = 10\cdot a^{2}\cdot b^{2}-8\cdot a^{2}\cdot b + 6\cdot a \cdot b^{2}-4\cdot a \cdot b + 2 - (-5\cdot a^{2}\cdot b^{2}+12\cdot a^{2}\cdot b -5)[/tex]

[tex]x = 10\cdot a^{2}\cdot b^{2}-8\cdot a^{2}\cdot b + 6\cdot a \cdot b^{2}-4\cdot a \cdot b +2 +5\cdot a^{2}\cdot b^{2}-12\cdot a^{2}\cdot b+5[/tex]

[tex]x = (10\cdot a^{2}\cdot b^{2}+5\cdot a^{2}\cdot b^{2})-(8\cdot a^{2}\cdot b+12\cdot a^{2}\cdot b)+6\cdot a \cdot b^{2}-4\cdot a \cdot b +7[/tex]

[tex]x = 15\cdot a^{2}\cdot b^{2}-20\cdot a^{2}\cdot b + 6\cdot a \cdot b^{2}-4\cdot a \cdot b +7[/tex]

The other addend is [tex]15\cdot a^{2}\cdot b^{2}-20\cdot a^{2}\cdot b + 6\cdot a \cdot b^{2}-4\cdot a \cdot b +7[/tex].
