Answer:
a. 1-step transition matrix is be expressed as:
[tex]P= \left[\begin{array}{cc}0.75&0.25\\0.45&0.55\\\end{array}\right][/tex]
b. The probability that he will be in City A after two trips given that he is in City B = 0.585
c. After many trips, the probability that he will be in city B = 0.3571
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
For each trip, if the driver is in city A, the probability that he has to drive passengers to city B is 0.25
If he is in city B, the probability that he has to drive passengers to city A is 0.45.
The objectives are to calculate the following :
a. What is the 1-step transition matrix?
To determine the 1 -step transition matrix
Let the State ∝ and State β denotes the Uber Driver providing service in City A and City B respectively.
∴ The transition probability from state ∝ to state β is 0.25.
The transition probability from state ∝ to state ∝ is 1- 0.25 = 0.75
The transition probability from state β to state ∝ is 0.45. The transition probability from state β to state β is 1 - 0.45 = 0.55
Hence; 1-step transition matrix is be expressed as:
[tex]P= \left[\begin{array}{cc}0.75&0.25\\0.45&0.55\\\end{array}\right][/tex]
b. Suppose he is in city B, what is the probability he will be in city A after two trips?
Consider [tex]Y_n[/tex] = ∝ or β to represent the Uber driver is in City A or City B respectively.
∴ The probability that he will be in City A after two trips given that he is in City B
=[tex]P(Y_0 = 2, Y_2 = 1 , Y_3 = 1) + P(Y_0 = 2, Y_2 = 2 , Y_3 = 1)[/tex]
= 0.45 × 0.75 + 0.55 × 0.45
= 0.3375 + 0.2475
= 0.585
c. After many trips between the two cities, what is the probability he will be in city B?
Assuming that Ф = [ p q ] to represent the long run proportion of time that Uber driver is in City A or City B respectively.
Then, ФP = Ф , also p+q = 1 , q = 1 - p and p = 1 - q
∴
[tex][ p\ \ \ q ] = \left[\begin{array}{cc}0.75&0.25\\0.45&0.55\\\end{array}\right] [ p\ \ \ q ][/tex]
0.75p + 0.45q = q
-0.25p + 0.45q = 0
since p = 1- q
-0.25(1 - q) + 0.45q = 0
-0.25 + 0.25 q + 0.45q = 0
0.7q = 0.25
q = [tex]\dfrac{0.25} {0.7 }[/tex]
q = 0.3571
After many trips, the probability that he will be in city B = 0.3571

solve for x: 5x+3+8x-4=90
Answer:
[tex]x = 7[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve the equation [tex]5x+3+8x-4=90[/tex] by isolating the variable x on one side. To do this, we must simplify the equation.
[tex]5x+3+8x-4=90[/tex]
Combine like terms:
[tex]13x - 1 = 90[/tex]
Add 1 to both sides:
[tex]13x = 91[/tex]
Divide both sides by 13:
[tex]x = 7[/tex]
Hope this helped!
Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step exxplanation:
5x + 3 + 8x - 4 = 90
5x + 8x = 90 - 3 + 4
13x = 91
x = 91/13
x = 7
probe:
5*7 + 3 + 8*7 - 4 = 90
35 + 3 + 56 - 4 = 90
Find the mean of the data summarized in the given frequency distribution. Compare the computed mean to the actual mean of 51.1 degrees. Low Temperature (◦F) 40−44 45−49 50−54 55−59 60−64 Frequency 3 6 13 7
Answer:
[tex]Mean = 53.25[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Low Temperature : 40−44 || 45−49 || 50−54 || 55−59 || 60−64
Frequency: --------------- 3 -----------6----------- 1-----------3--- -----7
Required
Determine the mean
The first step is to determine the midpoints of the given temperatures
40 - 44:
[tex]Midpoint = \frac{40+44}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Midpoint = \frac{84}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Midpoint = 42[/tex]
45 - 49
[tex]Midpoint = \frac{45+49}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Midpoint = \frac{94}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Midpoint = 47[/tex]
50 - 54:
[tex]Midpoint = \frac{50+54}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Midpoint = \frac{104}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Midpoint = 52[/tex]
55- 59
[tex]Midpoint = \frac{55+59}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Midpoint = \frac{114}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Midpoint = 57[/tex]
60 - 64:
[tex]Midpoint = \frac{60+64}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Midpoint = \frac{124}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Midpoint = 62[/tex]
So, the new frequency table is as thus:
Low Temperature : 42 || 47 || 52 || 57 || 62
Frequency: ----------- 3 --||- -6-||- 1-||- --3- ||--7
Next, is to calculate mean by
[tex]Mean = \frac{\sum fx}{\sum x}[/tex]
[tex]Mean = \frac{42 * 3 + 47 * 6 + 52 * 1 + 57 * 3 + 62 * 7}{3+6+1+3+7}[/tex]
[tex]Mean = \frac{1065}{20}[/tex]
[tex]Mean = 53.25[/tex]
The computed mean is greater than the actual mean
x/5=-2 . And how did you get it?
[tex]\dfrac{x}{5}=-2\\\\x=-10[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]\huge \boxed{{x=-10}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{x}{5} =-2[/tex]
We need the x variable to be isolated on one side of the equation, so we can find the value of x.
Multiply both sides of the equation by 5.
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{x}{5}(5) =-2(5)[/tex]
Simplify the equation.
[tex]x=-10[/tex]
The value of x that makes the equation true is -10.

Complete Question
A population has a mean mu μ equals = 77 and a standard deviation σ = 14. Find the mean and standard deviation of a sampling distribution of sample means with sample size n equals = 26
Answer:
The mean of sampling distribution of the sample mean ( [tex]\= x[/tex]) is [tex]\mu_{\= x } = 77[/tex]
The standard deviation of sampling distribution of the sample mean ( [tex]\= x[/tex]) is
[tex]\sigma _{\= x} = 2.746[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population mean is [tex]\mu = 77[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 14[/tex]
The sample size is [tex]n = 26[/tex]
Generally the standard deviation of sampling distribution of the sample mean ( [tex]\= x[/tex]) is mathematically represented as
[tex]\sigma _{\= x} = \frac{ \sigma }{ \sqrt{n} }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]\sigma _{\= x} = \frac{ 14}{ \sqrt{26} }[/tex]
[tex]\sigma _{\= x} = 2.746[/tex]
Generally the mean of sampling distribution of the sample mean ( [tex]\= x[/tex]) is equivalent to the population mean i.e
[tex]\mu_{\= x } = \mu[/tex]

One circle has a diameter of 6 inches. A second, larger circle has a diameter that is four times the diameter of the first circle. What is the ratio of the area of the smaller circle to the larger circle?
A. 2:3
B. 1:6:4
C. 1:16
D. 1:64
Please include ALL work! <3
Answer:
The answer is option CStep-by-step explanation:
To find the ratio first find the diameter of the larger circle
Diameter of first circle = 6 inches
Diameter of second circle = 4 × diameter of the first circle
Which is
Diameter of second circle
= 4 × 6 = 24 inches
Area of a circle = πr²
r is the radius
Area of smaller circle
Diameter = 6 inches
Radius = 6 / 2 = 3 inches
Area = (3)² π = 9π in²
Area of larger circle
Diameter = 24 inches
Radius = 24 / 2 = 12 inches
Area = (12)²π = 144π in²
The ratio of the smaller circle to the larger circle is
[tex] \frac{9\pi}{144\pi} [/tex]
Reduce the fraction by 9π
That's
[tex] \frac{1}{16} [/tex]
We have the final answer as
1 : 16Hope this helps you
Answer:
C. 1:16
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a circle is:
[tex]\pi \times {r}^{2} [/tex]
Small circle Area:
radius = diameter/2
radius = 6/2 = 3
[tex]area \: of \: a \: circle \: = \pi {3}^{2} [/tex]
a = 28.27
Large circle 4 times larger diameter
6*4 = 24
diameter = 24
r = 24/2
r = 12
[tex]a \: = \pi {12}^{2} [/tex]
a = 452.39
area of large circle/ area of small circle
452.39/28.27 = 16.00
ratio is 1:16
The radius of a right circular cylinder is increasing at the rate of 7 in./sec, while the height is decreasing at the rate of 6 in./sec. At what rate is the volume of the cylinder changing when the radius is 20 in. and the height is 16 in.
Answer:
[tex]\approx \bold{6544\ in^3/sec}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Rate of change of radius of cylinder:
[tex]\dfrac{dr}{dt} = +7\ in/sec[/tex]
(This is increasing rate so positive)
Rate of change of height of cylinder:
[tex]\dfrac{dh}{dt} = -6\ in/sec[/tex]
(This is decreasing rate so negative)
To find:
Rate of change of volume when r = 20 inches and h = 16 inches.
Solution:
First of all, let us have a look at the formula for Volume:
[tex]V = \pi r^2h[/tex]
Differentiating it w.r.to 't':
[tex]\dfrac{dV}{dt} = \dfrac{d}{dt}(\pi r^2h)[/tex]
Let us have a look at the formula:
[tex]1.\ \dfrac{d}{dx} (C.f(x)) = C\dfrac{d(f(x))}{dx} \ \ \ (\text{C is a constant})\\2.\ \dfrac{d}{dx} (f(x).g(x)) = f(x)\dfrac{d}{dx} (g(x))+g(x)\dfrac{d}{dx} (f(x))[/tex]
[tex]3.\ \dfrac{dx^n}{dx} = nx^{n-1}[/tex]
Applying the two formula for the above differentiation:
[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} = \pi\dfrac{d}{dt}( r^2h)\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} = \pi h\dfrac{d }{dt}( r^2)+\pi r^2\dfrac{dh }{dt}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} = \pi h\times 2r \dfrac{dr }{dt}+\pi r^2\dfrac{dh }{dt}[/tex]
Now, putting the values:
[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} = \pi \times 16\times 2\times 20 \times 7+\pi\times 20^2\times (-6)\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} = 22 \times 16\times 2\times 20 +3.14\times 400\times (-6)\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} = 14080 -7536\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} \approx \bold{6544\ in^3/sec}[/tex]
So, the answer is: [tex]\approx \bold{6544\ in^3/sec}[/tex]

[tex](3 cos t, sin t) and (\frac{4}{3},0) is\\\\ d = \sqrt{(3 cos\ t - \frac{4}{3}^2) } + (sin\ t - 0)^2\\\\ d^2 = (3 cos\ t - \frac{4}{3})^2 + sin^2 t[/tex]
To minimize
[tex]d^2, set\ f' (t) = 0\\\\2(3cos\ t - \frac{x=4}{3} ).3(-sin\ t) + 2sin\ t\ cos\ t = 0\\\\ 8 sin\ t - 16 sin\ t\ cos\ t = 0\\\\ 8 sin\ t (1 - 2 cos\ t) = 0\\\\ sin\ t = 0, cos\ t = \frac{1}{2} \\\\ t= 0, \ 0, \pi,2\pi,\frac{\pi}{3} , \frac{5\pi}{3}[/tex]
Now we create a table by applying the critical points which are shown below:
t [tex]d^{2} = (3\ cos t - \frac{4}{3})^{2} + sin^{2}t[/tex]
0 [tex]\frac{25}{9}[/tex]
[tex]\pi[/tex] [tex]\frac{169}{9}[/tex]
[tex]2\pi[/tex] [tex]\frac{25}{9}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{\pi}{3}[/tex] [tex]\frac{7}{9}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5\pi}{3}[/tex] [tex]\frac{7}{9}[/tex]
When t = [tex]\frac{\pi}{3}[/tex], x is [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] and y is [tex]\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}[/tex]. So, the required points are [tex](\frac{3}{2},\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2})[/tex]
When t = [tex]\frac{5\pi}{3}[/tex], x is [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] and y is [tex]\frac{-\sqrt{3} }{2}[/tex]. So, the required points are [tex](\frac{3}{2},\frac{-\sqrt{3} }{2})[/tex]

PLEASE HELP FAST!! The cone and the cylinder below have equal surface area. True or False??
Answer:
B. FALSE
Step-by-step explanation:
Surface area of cone = πr(r + l)
Where,
r = r
l = 3r
S.A of cone = πr(r + 3r)

S.A of cone = 4πr²
Surface area of cylinder = 2πrh + 2πr² = 2πr(h + r)
Where,
r = r
h = 2r
S.A of cylinder = 2πr(2r + r)
= 4πr² + 2πr²
S.A of cylinder = 6πr²
The surface are of the cone and that of the cylinder are not the same. The answer is false.

The X- and y-coordinates of point P are each to be chosen at random from the set of integers 1 through 10.
What is the probability that P will be in quadrant II ?
О
1/10
1/4
1/2
Answer:
Ok, as i understand it:
for a point P = (x, y)
The values of x and y can be randomly chosen from the set {1, 2, ..., 10}
We want to find the probability that the point P lies on the second quadrant:
First, what type of points are located in the second quadrant?
We should have a value negative for x, and positive for y.
But in our set; {1, 2, ..., 10}, we have only positive values.
So x can not be negative, this means that the point can never be on the second quadrant.
So the probability is 0.
line m in the xy-plane above is to be reflected through the x-axis. if the slope of line m is 2/3,whats is the slope of the image of line m under the reflection.
Answer: The new slope is -(2/3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, we know that our line can be written as:
y = (2/3)*x + b
where b is the y-intercept, and here does not really matter.
Ok, remember that if we have a point (x, y) and we reflect it over the x-axis, the new point will be (x, -y).
For our linear equation, the point (x, y) can be written as:
(x, y = (2/3)*x + b) = (x, (2/3)*x + b)
Now, after the reflection, our point is:
(x, - ( (2/3)*x + b)) = (x, -(2/3)*x - b)
Then our new line is y = -(2/3)*x - b
The new slope is -(2/3)

(Rd
Answer:
5.215 units (rounded up to three decimal places)
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the distance between points (3.1 , 0.3) and (2.7, -4.9)
We use the Pythagoras Theorem which states that for a right triangle of sides a,b and c then;
a² + b² = c² , Where c is the hypotenuse.
In our case, the distance between the two points is the hypotenuse of triangle formed by change in y-axis and change in x-axis.
The distance (hypotenuse) squared = (-4.9 - 0.3)² + (2.7 - 3.1)² = 27.04 + 0.16 = 27.2
Hypotenuse (the distance between) = [tex]\sqrt{27.2}[/tex] = 5.215 units (rounded up to three decimal places)

Answer:
B. 152 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the surface area using a net, do this:
Take apart the figure. We see that there are three rectangles and two triangles. Find the area of each ([tex]A=l*w[/tex]) and then add the values together:
The first rectangle on the left is the same as the one on the right.
[tex]5*8=40[/tex]
Two measures are 40 cm².
The middle rectangle is:
[tex]6*8=48[/tex]
48 cm²
The formula for the area of a triangle is [tex]A=\frac{1}{2}*b*h[/tex]:
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}*6*4\\\\A=\frac{1*6*4}{2}\\\\A=\frac{24}{2}\\\\ A=12[/tex]
The area of the two triangles is 12 cm².
Now add the values:
[tex]40+40+48+12+12=152[/tex]
The area of the figure is 152 cm².

Answer:
2.7 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
Since ∆BAC and ∆EDF are similar, therefore, the ratio of their area = square of the ratio of their corresponding side lengths.
Thus, if area of ∆EDF = x, area of ∆BAC = 6 in², EF = 2 in, BC = 3 in, therefore:

A company has 8 mechanics and 6 electricians. If an employee is selected at random, what is the probability that they are an electrician
Answer:
[tex]Probability = \frac{3}{7}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Electrician = 6
Mechanic = 8
Required
Determine the probability of selecting an electrician
First, we need the total number of employees;
[tex]Total = n(Electrician) + n(Mechanic)[/tex]
[tex]Total = 6 + 8[/tex]
[tex]Total = 14[/tex]
Next, is to determine the required probability using the following formula;
[tex]Probability = \frac{n(Electrician)}{Total}[/tex]
[tex]Probability = \frac{6}{14}[/tex]
Divide numerator and denominator by 2
[tex]Probability = \frac{3}{7}[/tex]
Hence, the probability of selecting an electrician is 3/7
In training to run a half marathon, Jenny ran 2/5 hours on Tuesday, 11/6 hours on
Thursday, and 21/15 hours on Saturday. What is the total amount of hours that Jenny
ran this week? (Simplify your answer and state it as a mixed number.)
I
Answer:
Total hours that Jenny ran = 3.63 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Jenny ran on Tuesday for = 2/5 hours or 0.4 hours.
Time consumed to run on Thursday = 11/6 hours or 1.83 hours.
Time consumed to run on Saturday = 21/ 15 hours or 1.4 hours.
Here, the total hours can be calculated by just adding all the running hours. So the running hours of Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday will be added to find the total hours.
Total hours that Jenny ran = 0.4 + 1.83 + 1.4 = 3.63 hours.
If you randomly select a letter from the phrase "Sean wants to eat at Olive Garden," what is the probability that a vowel is randomly selected
Answer:
12/27
Step-by-step explanation:
Count all letters and all vowels then divide vowels by letters
The probability that a vowel is randomly selected in the experiment of selecting a letter from the phrase "Sean wants to eat at Olive Garden", is 4/9.
What is the probability of an event in an experiment?The probability of any event suppose A, in an experiment is given as:
P(A) = n/S,
where P(A) is the probability of event A, n is the number of favorable outcomes to event A in the experiment, and S is the total number of outcomes in the experiment.
How to solve the given question?In the question, we are given an experiment of selecting a letter from the phrase "Sean wants to eat at Olive Garden".
We are asked to find the probability that the selected letter is a vowel.
Let the event of selecting a vowel from the experiment of selecting a letter from the phrase "Sean wants to eat at Olive Garden" be A.
We can calculate the probability of event A by the formula:
P(A) = n/S,
where P(A) is the probability of event A, n is the number of favorable outcomes to event A in the experiment, and S is the total number of outcomes in the experiment.
The number of outcomes favorable to event A (n) = 12 (Number of vowels in the phrase)
The total number of outcomes in the experiment (S) = 27 (Number of letters in the phrase).
Now, we can find the probability of event A as:
P(A) = 12/27 = 4/9
∴ The probability that a vowel is randomly selected in the experiment of selecting a letter from the phrase "Sean wants to eat at Olive Garden", is 4/9.

A patio 20 feet wide has a slanted roof, as shown in the figure. Find the length of the roof if there is an 8-inch overhang. Show all work and round the answer to the nearest foot. Be sure to label your answer appropriately. Then write a sentence explaining your answer in the context of the problem.
Answer:
[tex]Slanted\ Roof = 20.77\ ft[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The question has missing attachment (See attachment 1 for complete figure)
Given
Width, W = 20ft
Let the taller height be represented with H and the shorter height with h
H = 10ft
h = 8ft
Overhang = 8 inch
Required
Determine the length of the slanted roof
FIrst, we have to determine the distance between the tip of the roof and the shorter height;
Represent this with
This is calculated by
[tex]D = H - h[/tex]
Substitute 10 for H and 8 for h
[tex]D = 10 - 8[/tex]
[tex]D = 2ft[/tex]
Next, is to calculate the length of the slant height before the overhang;
See Attachment 2
Distance L can be calculated using Pythagoras theorem
[tex]L^2 = 2^2 + 20^2[/tex]
[tex]L^2 = 4 + 400[/tex]
[tex]L^2 = 404[/tex]
Take Square root of both sides
[tex]\sqrt{L^2} = \sqrt{404}[/tex]
[tex]L = \sqrt{404}[/tex]
[tex]L = 20.0997512422[/tex]
[tex]L = 20.10\ ft[/tex] -------Approximated
The full length of the slanted roof is the sum of L (calculated above) and the overhang
[tex]Slanted\ Roof = L + 8\ inch[/tex]
Substitute 20.10 ft for L
[tex]Slanted\ Roof = 20.10\ ft + 8\ inch[/tex]
Convert inch to feet to get the slanted roof in feet
[tex]Slanted\ Roof = 20.1\ ft + 8/12\ ft[/tex]
[tex]Slanted\ Roof = 20.10\ ft + 0.67\ ft[/tex]
[tex]Slanted\ Roof = 20.77\ ft[/tex]
Hence, the total length of the slanted roof in feet is approximately 20.77 feet
Suppose P( A) = 0.60, P( B) = 0.85, and A and B are independent. The probability of the complement of the event ( A and B) is: a. .4 × .15 = .060 b. 0.40 + .15 = .55 c. 1 − (.40 + .15) = .45 d. 1 − (.6 × .85) = .490
Answer: a. 0.4 × 0.15 = 0.060
Step-by-step explanation: Probability of the complement of an event is the one that is not part of the event.
For P(A):
P(A') = 1 - 0.6
P(A') = 0.4
For P(B):
P(B') = 1 - 0.85
P(B') = 0.15
To determine probability of A' and B':
P(A' and B') = P(A')*P(B')
P(A' and B') = 0.4*0.15
P(A' and B') = 0.06
Probability of the complement of the event is 0.060
