Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
In the third line of the solution on right side of the equal sign, middle term should be 8x instead of 4x.
The final value of x will be 6.
[tex] PQ^2 + QO^2 = PO^2 \\
x^2 + 8^2 = (4+x)^2 \\
x^2 + 64 = 16 + 8x + x^2 \\
64 = 16 + 8x \\
64 - 16 = 8x \\
48 = 8x \\
6 = x\\[/tex]

There are $400$ pages in Sheila's favorite book. The average number of words per page in the book is $300$. If she types at an average rate of $40$ words per minute, how many hours will it take to type the $400$ pages of the book?
Answer:
50hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that there are 400 pages in Sheila's favorite book.
The average number of words per page in the book is 300
She types an average rate of 40words per minute.
So to type 400pages of the book
Total number of words in the pages = 400×300 = 120000 words
Typing rate : 40words ------- 1minute
120000 words ----------- x minutes
Hence we have 40 × X mins = 120000 × 1min
Make X the subject
40X = 120000minutes
X = 120000/40
X = 3000minutes
Since 60minutes = 1hour
3000minutes = 3000minutes/60
= 50hours
Hence it took her 50hours to type 400pages
Solution:
The total number of words in the book is 400 x 300. Sheila types at a rate of 40 words per minute, or 40 x 60 words per hour. The number of hours it takes her is equal to the number of words divided by her rate of typing, or 400x300/40x60 = 50 hours.
A sample of 81 observations is taken from a normal population with a standard deviation of 5. The sample mean is 40. Determine the 95% confidence interval for the population mean.
Answer:
38.911≤p≤41.089
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for calculating confidence interval for a population mean us as shown below;
CI = xbar ± Z×S/√N where;
xbar is the sample mean = 40
Z is the z score at 95% confidence interval = 1.96
S is the standard deviation = 5
N is the sample size = 81
Substituting this parameters in the formula we have;
CI = 40±1.96×5/√81
CI = 40±(1.96×5/9)
CI = 40±(1.96×0.556)
CI = 40±1.089
CI = (40-1.089, 40+1.089)
CI = (38.911, 41.089)
The 95% confidence interval for the population mean is 38.911≤p≤41.089
Answer:
38.9 ≤ U ≤ 41.1
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean, m = 40; standard deviation, α = 5; Confidence limit, U = 95% or 0.95
N = 81
The standard error, α(m) = α/√(N) = 5/√81 =5/9
Using table: 0.95 = 0.0379
Z(0.95) = 2 - 0.0379 = 1.9621 or 1.96
Hence, confidence interval = { m - 1.96(α/√N) ≤ U ≤ m +1.96(α/√N)}
But, 1.96(α/√N) = 1.96 X 5/9 = 1.96 X 0.56 = 1.1
(40 - 1.1 ≤ U ≤ 40 + 1.1)
∴ the confidence interval = 38.9 ≤ U ≤ 41.1
According to the Federal Communications Commission, 70% of all U.S. households have vcrs. In a random sample of 15 households, what is the probability that fewer than 13 have vcrs?
Answer:
The probability is [tex]P(x < 13) = 0.8732[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The probability of success is p = 0.70
The sample size is [tex]n = 15[/tex]
Generally the distribution of U.S. households have vcrs follow a binomial distribution given that there are only two outcome (household having vcrs or household not having vcrs )
The probability of failure is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]q = 1- p[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]q = 1- 0.70[/tex]
[tex]q = 0.30[/tex]
The probability that fewer than 13 have vcrs is mathematically represented as
[tex]P(x < 13) = 1- [P(13) + P(14) + P(15)][/tex]
=> [tex]P(x < 13) = 1-[( \left 15 } \atop {}} \right. C_{13} *p^{13}* q^{15-13})+ (\left 15 } \atop {}} \right. C_{14} *p^{14}* q^{15-14}) +( \left 15 } \atop {}} \right. C_{15} *p^{15}* q^{15-15}) ][/tex]
Here [tex]\left 15 } \atop {}} \right. C_{13}[/tex] means 15 combination 13 and the value is 105 (obtained from calculator)
Here [tex]\left 15 } \atop {}} \right. C_{14}[/tex] means 15 combination 14 and the value is 15 (obtained from calculator)
Here [tex]\left 15 } \atop {}} \right. C_{15}[/tex] means 15 combination 15 and the value is 1 (obtained from calculator)
So
[tex]P(x < 13) = 1-[(105 *p^{13}* q^{2})+ (15 *p^{14}* q^{1}) +(1*p^{15}* q^{0}) ][/tex]
substituting values
[tex]P(x < 13) = 1-[(105 *(0.70)^{13}* (0.30)^{2})+ (15 *(0.70)^{14}* (0.30)^{1}) +(1*(0.70)^{15}* (0.30)^{0}) ][/tex]
[tex]P(x < 13) = 0.8732[/tex]
Find the mean, variance, and standard deviation of the binomial distribution with the given values of n and p. n = 50 p = 0.2
Answer:
The mean, variance, and standard deviation of the binomial distribution are 10, 8, and 2.83 respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to find the mean, variance, and standard deviation of the binomial distribution with the given values of n and p, i.e; n = 50 p = 0.2.
Let X = binomial random variable
So, X ~ Binom(n = 50, p = 0.2)
Now, the mean of the binomial distribution is given by;
Mean of X, E(X) = n [tex]\times[/tex] p
= 50 [tex]\times[/tex] 0.2 = 10
Now, the variance of the binomial distribution is given by;
Variance of X, V(X) = n [tex]\times[/tex] p [tex]\times[/tex] (1 - p)
= 50 [tex]\times[/tex] 0.2 [tex]\times[/tex] (1 - 0.2)
= 10 [tex]\times[/tex] 0.8 = 8
Also, the standard deviation of the binomial distribution is given by;
Standard deviation of X, S.D.(X) = [tex]\sqrt{\text{n} \times \text{p} \times (1 - \text{p})}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{\text{50} \times \text{0.2} \times (1 - \text{0.2})}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{8}[/tex] = 2.83
Given log32≈0.631 and log37≈1.771, what is log314
Answer:
the log to the base 3 of 14 is 2.402
Step-by-step explanation:
You must find a way to indicate that 3 is the base; you cannot run this '3' together with 2, 7 or 14.
Example:
log to the base 3 of 2 = 0.631
log to the base 3 of 7 = 1.771
Note that 2 times 7 is 14. Thus, to obtain the log to the base 3 of 14, we must ADD the two logs shown above:
0.631
+1.771
----------
2.402
Thus, the log to the base 3 of 14 is 2.402.
Check: Does 3^2.402 = 14? YES
If SSR is 2592 and SSE is 608, then A. the standard error would be large. B. the coefficient of determination is .23. C. the slope is likely to be insignificant. D. the coefficient of determination is .81.
Answer:
D. the coefficient of determination is .81.
Step-by-step explanation:
SST = SSE + SSR
where
SST is the summation of square total
SSE is the summation of squared error estimate = 608
SSR is the summation of square of residual = 2593
with these in mind we put the values into the formula
= 2592 + 608
=3200
Coefficient of determination = SSR/SST
= 2592/3200
= 0.81
Therefore option D is the correct answer to the question.

Four couples are at a party. Four of the eight people are randomly selected to win a prize. No person can win more than one prize. What is the probability that both of the members of at least one couple win prizes? Express your answer as common fraction.
Answer:
27/35
Step-by-step explanation:
We use combination to solve for this
C(n, r), =nCr = n!/r!(n - r)!
From the question, we are told that:
Four couples are at a party. Four of the eight people are randomly selected to win a prize.
Four couples = 8 people.
= 8C4 = 8!/4! (8 - 4)!
= 70
No person can win more than one prize. ( No person can win more than one prize of the 4 people selected)
This can happen in 4 ways
[4C1 × 3C2 ] × 4=
[4!/1! ×( 4 - 1)!] × [3!/2! ×(3-2)!] × 4 ways
= 4 × 3 × 4 ways
= 48
The probability that both of the members of at least one couple win prizes
48 + 4C2/ 8C4
4C2 = 4!/2!(4 - 2) !
= 6
8C4 = 8C4 = 8!/4! (8 - 4)!
= 70
48 + 6/ 70
= 54/70
= 27/35
Therefore, the probability that both of the members of at least one couple win prizes is 27/35.
The probability that both of the members of at least one couple win prizes is 27/35 and this can be determined by using the given data.
Given :
Four couples are at a party. Four of the eight people are randomly selected to win a prize. No person can win more than one prize.The following steps can be used in order to determine the probability that both of the members of at least one couple win prizes:
Step 1 - The concept of probability is used in order to determine the probability that both of the members of at least one couple win prizes.
Step 2 - According to the given data, the total number of people is 8.
Step 3 - So, the probability that both of the members of at least one couple win prizes is:
[tex]\rm P =\dfrac{ \;^4C_1\times \;^3C_2\times 4 + \;^4C_2}{\;^8C_4}[/tex]
Step 4 - Simplify the above expression.
[tex]\rm P =\dfrac{48+ 6}{70}[/tex]
[tex]\rm P = \dfrac{27}{35}[/tex]
So, the probability that both of the members of at least one couple win prizes is 27/35.

Express the product of z1 and z2 in standard form given that [tex]z_{1} = 6[cos(\frac{2\pi }{5}) + isin(\frac{2\pi }{5})][/tex] and [tex]z_{2} = 2\sqrt{2} [cos(\frac{-\pi }{2}) + isin(\frac{-\pi }{2})][/tex]
Answer:
Solution : 5.244 - 16.140i
Step-by-step explanation:
If we want to express the two as a product, we would have the following expression.
[tex]-6\left[\cos \left(\frac{2\pi }{5}\right)+i\sin \left(\frac{2\pi }{5}\right)\right]\cdot 2\sqrt{2}\left[\cos \left(\frac{-\pi }{2}\right)+i\sin \left(\frac{-\pi \:}{2}\right)\right][/tex]
Now we have two trivial identities that we can apply here,
( 1 ) cos(- π / 2) = 0,
( 2 ) sin(- π / 2) = - 1
Substituting them,
= [tex]-6\cdot \:2\sqrt{2}\left(0-i\right)\left(\cos \left(\frac{2\pi }{5}\right)+i\sin \left(\frac{2\pi }{5}\right)\right)[/tex]
= [tex]-12\sqrt{2}\sin \left(\frac{2\pi }{5}\right)+12\sqrt{2}\cos \left(\frac{2\pi }{5}\right)i[/tex]
Again we have another two identities we can apply,
( 1 ) sin(x) = cos(π / 2 - x )
( 2 ) cos(x) = sin(π / 2 - x )
[tex]\sin \left(\frac{2\pi }{5}\right)=\cos \left(\frac{\pi }{2}-\frac{2\pi }{5}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4}[/tex]
[tex]\cos \left(\frac{2\pi }{5}\right)=\sin \left(\frac{\pi }{2}-\frac{2\pi }{5}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4}[/tex]
Substitute,
[tex]-12\sqrt{2}(\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4}) + 12\sqrt{2}(\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4})[/tex]
= [tex]-6\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}+6\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}} i[/tex]
= [tex]-16.13996 + 5.24419i[/tex]
= [tex]5.24419i - 16.13996[/tex]
As you can see option d is the correct answer. 5.24419 is rounded to 5.244, and 16.13996 is rounded to 16.14.

Sodas in a can are supposed to contain an average 12 oz. This particular brand has a standard deviation of 0.1 oz, with an average of 12.1 oz. If the can’s contents follow a Normal distribution, what is the probability that the mean contents of a six-pack are less than 12 oz?
Answer:
The probability is [tex]P(X < 12) = 0.99286[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population mean is [tex]\mu = 12 \ oz[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 0.1 \ oz[/tex]
The sample mean is [tex]\= x = 12.1 \ oz[/tex]
The sample size is n = 6 packs
The standard error of the mean is mathematically represented as
[tex]\sigma_{\= x } = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]\sigma_{\= x } = \frac{0.1}{\sqrt{6} }[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_{\= x } = 0.0408[/tex]
Given that the can’s contents follow a Normal distribution then then the probability that the mean contents of a six-pack are less than 12 oz is mathematically represented as
[tex]P(X < 12) = P ( \frac{X - \mu }{ \sigma_{\= x }} < \frac{\= x - \mu }{ \sigma_{\= x }} )[/tex]
Generally [tex]\frac{X - \mu }{ \sigma_{ \= x }} = Z (The \ standardized \ value \ of \ X )[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X < 12) = P ( Z < \frac{\= x - \mu }{ \sigma_{\= x }} )[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]P(X < 12) = P ( Z < \frac{12.2 -12 }{0.0408} )[/tex]
[tex]P(X < 12) = P ( Z < 2.45 )[/tex]
From the normal distribution table the value of [tex]P ( Z < 2.45 )[/tex] is
[tex]P (Z < 2.45)0.99286[/tex]
=> [tex]P(X < 12) = 0.99286[/tex]

Answer:
linear with a common first difference of 2
Step-by-step explanation:
On the face of it, you can reject answers that ascribe a common ratio to a linear or quadratic function. (A common ratio is characteristic of an exponential function.)
You can also reject the answer that ascribes a common first difference to a quadratic function. (A quadratic function has a common second difference.)
After you reject the nonsense answers, there is only one remaining choice. It is also the correct one:
linear with a common first difference of 2

The line that goes up to the right has a y-intercept of +4. This is where it crosses the y-axis. It's slope (rise/run) is 3/1 = 3, so its equation in slope-intercept form is ...
y = mx +b . . . . where m is the slope, b is the y-intercept
y = 3x +4
The other line has a negative slope and a y-intercept of -1. The slope of that line is rise/run = -2/1 = -2, so its equation is ...
y = -2x -1
__
The solution point will have the x-coordinate that is the solution of the equation ...
y = y
3x +4 = -2x -1 . . . . . . substituting the above expressions for y.

There are 9 students at the math club picnic. If 3 students are drinking punch and 6 are drinking lemonade, what fraction are drinking lemonade
1+2x=6x+11 PLS HELP URGENT
Answer:
x = -5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
1+2x=6x+11
Subtract 2x from each side
1+2x-2x=6x-2x+11
1 = 4x+11
Subtract 11 from each side
1-11 = 4x
-10 =4x
Divide by 4
-10/4 = 4x/4
-5/2 =x
Answer:
[tex]\boxed{x=-\frac{5}{2}}\\[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To begin, get the variable on one side of the equation - preferably the left for standard solution notation (for this equation, it is easier to place it on the right side to avoid negative values). Do this by subtracting 2x from both sides of the equation. Then, subtract 11. Finally, divide by 4 and get the answer in terms of x.
1 + 2x = 6x + 11
1 = 4x + 11
-10 = 4x
[tex]\boxed{x=-\frac{5}{2}}[/tex]

A test is being conducted to test the difference between two population means using data that are gathered from a matched pairs experiment. If the paired differences are normal, then the distribution used for testing is the:
Answer:
Student t-distribution.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this scenario, a test is being conducted to test the difference between two population "means" using data that are gathered from a matched pairs experiment. If the paired differences are normal, then the distribution used for testing is the student t-distribution.
In Statistics and probability, a student t-distribution can be defined as the probability distribution which can be used to estimate population parameters when the population variance is not known (unknown) and the sample population is relatively small. The student t-distribution is a statistical distribution which was published in 1908 by William Sealy Gosset.
A student t-distribution has a similar curve with the normal distribution curve, except that it is fatter and a little bit shorter.
