An election ballot asks voters to select three city commissioners from a group of six candidates. If your aunt and father are running, what is the probability that either your aunt or your father will become a city commissioner

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.8 = 80% probability that either your aunt or your father will become a city commissioner.

Step-by-step explanation:

The candidates are chosen from the sample without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

[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]

In this question:

6 candidates, which means that [tex]N = 6[/tex]

2 are the aunt and father, which means that [tex]k = 2[/tex]

3 are chosen, which means that [tex]n = 3[/tex]

What is the probability that either your aunt or your father will become a city commissioner?

Probability of at least one of them being chosen, which is:

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = h(0,6,3,2) = \frac{C_{2,0}*C_{4,3}}{C_{6,3}} = 0.2[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8[/tex]

0.8 = 80% probability that either your aunt or your father will become a city commissioner.

Answer:

  (-3, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The blanks are trying to lead you through the process of finding the point of interest.

__

The horizontal distance from T to S is 9 . (or -9, if you prefer)

The ratio you're trying to divide the line into is the ratio that goes in this blank:

Multiply the horizontal distance by 2/3 . (9×2/3 = 6)

Move 6 units left from point T.

The vertical distance from T to S is 6 .

Multiply the vertical distance by 2/3 . (6×2/3 = 4)

Move 4 units up from point T.

__

Point T is (3, -1) so 6 left and 4 up is (3, -1) +(-6, 4) = (3-6, -1+4) = (-3, 3). The point that is 2/3 of the way from T to S is (-3, 3).

Answer:

  C.  837

Step-by-step explanation:

The remaining angle is ...

  C = 180° -A -B = 180°-62° -67° = 51°

The law of sines tells us that the length AC is ...

  AC/sin(B) = AB/sin(C)

  AC = AB·sin(B)/sin(C) = 40·sin(67°)/sin(51°)

Using the area formula given, we now have ...

  area = 1/2(AB)(AC)sin(A)

  = (1/2)(40)(40·sin(67°)sin(62°)/sin(51°) ≈ 836.7

The area of the triangle is about 837 square units.

Find the probability of 3 success for the binomial experiment with 7 trial and the success probability of 0.3. Then find the mean and standard deviation. Write the formula substitute
the values.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P(x=3)=0.2269[/tex]

Mean=2.1

Standard deviation=1.21

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

n=7

Probability of success, p=0.3

q=1-p=1-0.3=0.7

We have to find the probability of 3 success for the binomial experiment  and find the mean and standard deviation.

Binomial distribution formula

[tex]P(X=x)=nC_xp^{x}q^{n-x}[/tex]

Using the formula

[tex]P(x=3)=7C_3(0.3)^3(0.7)^{7-3}[/tex]

[tex]P(x=3)=7C_3(0.3)^3(0.7)^{4}[/tex]

[tex]P(x=3)=\frac{7!}{3!4!}(0.3)^3(0.7)^{4}[/tex]

[tex]P(x=3)=\frac{7\times 6\times 5\times 4!}{3\times 2\times 1\times 4!}(0.3)^{3}(0.7)^{4}[/tex]

Using the formula

[tex]nC_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}[/tex]

[tex]P(x=3)=0.2269[/tex]

Now,

Mean, [tex]\mu=np=7\times 0.3=2.1[/tex]

Standard deviation, [tex]\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

Standard deviation, [tex]\sigma=\sqrt{7\times 0.3\times 0.7}[/tex]

Standard deviation, [tex]\sigma=1.21[/tex]

Which characteristic of dilations compares segment F'H' to segment FH

Answers

Answer:

[tex]|F'H'| = 2 * |FH|[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]E = (0,1)[/tex]             [tex]E' = (-1,2)[/tex]

[tex]F = (1,1)[/tex]             [tex]F' = (1,2)[/tex]

[tex]G = (2,0)[/tex]             [tex]G' =(3,0)[/tex]

[tex]H = (0,0)[/tex]            [tex]H' = (-1,0)[/tex]

[tex](x,y) = (1,0)[/tex] -- center

[tex]k = 2[/tex] --- scale factor

See comment for proper format of question

Required

Compare FH to F'H'

From the question, we understand that the scale of dilation from EFGH to E'F'G'H is 2;

Irrespective of the center of dilation, the distance between corresponding segment will maintain the scale of dilation.

i.e.

[tex]|F'H'| = k * |FH|[/tex]

[tex]|F'H'| = 2 * |FH|[/tex]

To prove this;

Calculate distance of segments FH and F'H' using:

[tex]d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}[/tex]

Given that:

[tex]F = (1,1)[/tex]             [tex]F' = (1,2)[/tex]

[tex]H = (0,0)[/tex]            [tex]H' = (-1,0)[/tex]

We have:

[tex]FH = \sqrt{(1- 0)^2 + (1- 0)^2}[/tex]

[tex]FH = \sqrt{(1)^2 + (1)^2}[/tex]

[tex]FH = \sqrt{1 + 1}[/tex]

[tex]FH = \sqrt{2}[/tex]

Similarly;

[tex]F'H' = \sqrt{(1 --1)^2 + (2 -0)^2}[/tex]

[tex]F'H' = \sqrt{(2)^2 + (2)^2}[/tex]

Distribute

[tex]F'H' = \sqrt{(2)^2(1 +1)}[/tex]

[tex]F'H' = \sqrt{(2)^2*2}[/tex]

Split

[tex]F'H' = \sqrt{(2)^2} *\sqrt{2}[/tex]

[tex]F'H' = 2 *\sqrt{2}[/tex]

[tex]F'H' = 2\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex]|F'H'| = 2 * |FH|[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]2\sqrt 2 = 2 * \sqrt 2[/tex]

[tex]2\sqrt 2 = 2\sqrt 2[/tex] --- true

Hence, the dilation relationship between FH and F'H' is::

[tex]|F'H'| = 2 * |FH|[/tex]

Where:

l: is the length =?  

V: is the volume = 343/4 in³

By solving the above equation for "l" we have:

b. Rooster form: {3, 4, 5 ,6, ...}

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Rooster form: {12, 13, 14, 15}

All four numbers are natural numbers, therefore we would write this set of numbers in set builder form such that they will all have the same property. Thus:

Set-builder form: {y | y is a natural number and 12 ≤ y ≤ 15}

Or as

{y | y is a natural number and 11 < y < 16}

b. Set-builder form: {y | y is a natural number and y > 2}

Since natural numbers are positive integers, this tells us that all values of the set are not less than or equal to 2. Therefore, they are integers that range from 3 and above.

Thus:

Rooster form: {3, 4, 5 ,6, ...}

What proportion of the students scored at least 23 points on this test, rounded to five decimal places

Answers

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

The distribution of scores on a recent test closely followed a Normal Distribution with a mean of 22 points and a standard deviation of 2 points. For this question, DO NOT apply the standard deviation rule.

What proportion of the students scored at least 23 points on this test, rounded to five decimal places?

Answer:

proportion of the students that scored at least 23 points on this test is 0.30850

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

mean μ = 22

standard deviation σ = 2

since test closely followed a Normal Distribution

let

Z = x-μ / σ      { standard normal random variable ]

Now, proportion of the students that scored at least 23 points on this test.

P( x ≥ 23 ) = P( (x-μ / σ) ≥  ( 23-22 / 2 )

= P( Z ≥ 1/2 )

= P( Z ≥ 0.5 )

= 1 - P( Z < 0.5 )

Now, from z table

{ we have P( Z < 0.5 ) = 0.6915 }

= 1 - P( Z < 0.5 ) = 1 - 0.6915 = 0.30850

P( x ≥ 23 ) = 0.30850

Therefore, proportion of the students that scored at least 23 points on this test is 0.30850

Claims from Group A follow a normal distribution with mean 10,000 and standard deviation 1,000. Claims from Group B follow a normal distribution with mean 20,000 and standard deviation 2,000. All claim amounts are independent of the other claims. Fifty claims occur in each group. Find the probability the total of the 100 claims exceeds 1,530,000.

Answers

Answer:

0.0287 = 2.87% probability the total of the 100 claims exceeds 1,530,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

n instances of a normal variable:

For n instances of a normal variable, the mean is [tex]n\mu[/tex] and the standard deviation is [tex]s = \sigma\sqrt{n}[/tex]

Sum of normal variables:

When two normal variables are added, the mean is the sum of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

Group A follow a normal distribution with mean 10,000 and standard deviation 1,000. 50 claims of group A.

This means that:

[tex]\mu_A = 10000*50 = 500000[/tex]

[tex]s_A = 1000\sqrt{50} = 7071[/tex]

Group B follow a normal distribution with mean 20,000 and standard deviation 2,000. 50 claims of group B.

This means that:

[tex]\mu_B = 20000*50 = 1000000[/tex]

[tex]s_B = 2000\sqrt{50} = 14142[/tex]

Distribution of the total of the 100 claims:

[tex]\mu = \mu_A + \mu_B = 500000 + 1000000 = 1500000[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_A^2+s_B^2} = \sqrt{7071^2+14142^2} = 15811[/tex]

Find the probability the total of the 100 claims exceeds 1,530,000.

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 1530000. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{1530000 - 1500000}{15811}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.9[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.9[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9713

1 - 0.9713 = 0.0287

0.0287 = 2.87% probability the total of the 100 claims exceeds 1,530,000.

lisa used 880g of a container of sugar to bake a cake and 1/10 of the creaming sugar to make cookies. She then had 3/7 of the container of sugar left. How much sugar was in the container at first

Answers

Answer:

At the beginning, there were 2,678.26 grams of sugar in the container.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Lisa used 880g of a container of sugar to bake a cake and 1/10 of the creaming sugar to make cookies, and she then had 3/7 of the container of sugar left, to determine how much sugar was in the container at first, the following calculation must be performed:

880 + 1 / 10X = 3 / 7X

880 + 0.1X = 0.4285X

880 = 0.4285X - 0.1X

880 = 0.3285X

880 / 0.3285 = X

2,678.26 = X

Therefore, at the beginning there were 2,678.26 grams of sugar in the container.
