Answer:
8 and 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Two numbers are such that their difference, their sum, and their product are to
each other as 1:7:24. Their product must equal what number?
:
Two numbers a & b
Let x = the multiplier
:
a - b = 1x
a + b = 7x
a * b = 24x
:
Add the 1st two equations
a - b = x
a + b = 7x
2a = 8x
a = 4x
or
x = .25a
:
a * b = 24x
Replace 24x; a = 4x therefore:
a * b = 6a
b = 6
;
Using the 1st equation
a - b = 1x
Replace b with 6 and x with .25a
a - 6 = .25a
a - .25a = 6
.75a = 6
a =
a = 8
:
Find the multiplier
a - b = x
8 - 6 = 2
:
Check this
a - b = 2 (1*2)
a + b = 14; (7*2)
a * b = 48: (24*2)
:
The numbers are 8 and 6; their products = 48
A student majoring in accounting is trying to decide on the number of firms to which he should apply. Given his work experience and grades, he can expect to receive a job offer from 70% of the firms to which he applies. The student decides to apply to only four firms.
(a) What is the probability that he receives no job offer?
(b) How many job offers he expects to get?
(c) What is the probability that more than half of the firms he applied do not make him any offer?
(d) What assumptions do you need to make to find the probabilities? To increase the chance of securing more job offers, the student decides to apply to as many companies as possible, he sent out 60 applications to all different accounting firms.
(e) What is the probability of him securing more than 3 offers?
Answer:
a) 0.0081 = 0.81% probability that he receives no job offer
b) He expects to get 2.8 job offers.
c) 0.0837 = 8.37% probability that more than half of the firms he applied do not make him any offer.
d) Each job must be independent of other jobs. Additionaly, if [tex]np \geq 10[/tex] and [tex]n(1-p) \geq 10[/tex], the normal approximation to the binomial distribution can be used.
e) 0.2401 = 24.01% probability of him securing more than 3 offers.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each application, there are only two possible outcomes. Either he gets an offer, or he does not. The probability of getting an offer for a job is independent of any other job, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [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]
And p is the probability of X happening.
He can expect to receive a job offer from 70% of the firms to which he applies.
This means that [tex]p = 0.7[/tex]
The student decides to apply to only four firms.
This means that [tex]n = 4[/tex]
(a) What is the probability that he receives no job offer?
This is [tex]P(X = 0)[/tex]. So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{4,0}.(0.7)^{0}.(0.3)^{4} = 0.0081[/tex]
0.0081 = 0.81% probability that he receives no job offer.
(b) How many job offers he expects to get?
The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]
In this question:
[tex]E(X) = 4(0.7) = 2.8[/tex]
He expects to get 2.8 job offers.
(c) What is the probability that more than half of the firms he applied do not make him any offer?
Less than 2 offers, which is:
[tex]P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{4,0}.(0.7)^{0}.(0.3)^{4} = 0.0081[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{4,1}.(0.7)^{1}.(0.3)^{3} = 0.0756[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.0081 + 0.0756 = 0.0837[/tex]
0.0837 = 8.37% probability that more than half of the firms he applied do not make him any offer.
(d) What assumptions do you need to make to find the probabilities? To increase the chance of securing more job offers, the student decides to apply to as many companies as possible, he sent out 60 applications to all different accounting firms.
Each job must be independent of other jobs. Additionaly, if [tex]np \geq 10[/tex] and [tex]n(1-p) \geq 10[/tex], the normal approximation to the binomial distribution can be used.
(e) What is the probability of him securing more than 3 offers?
Between 4 and n, since n is 4, 4 offers, so:
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{4,4}.(0.7)^{4}.(0.3)^{0} = 0.2401[/tex]
0.2401 = 24.01% probability of him securing more than 3 offers.
A binomial probability experiment is conducted with the given parameters. Compute the probability of x successes in the n independent trials of the experiment.
n=12, p=0.35, x=2
Answer:
0.1088 or 10.88%
Step-by-step explanation:
q = 1 - 0.35 = 0.65
P(X=2) = 12C2 × (0.35)² × (0.65)¹⁰
= 0.1088

Solve the formula for the specific variable
Z=x-y/3
Y=____
Answer:
-3(z-x) = y
Step-by-step explanation:
Z=x-y/3
Solve for y
Subtract x from each side
z-x = x- y/3 -x
z-x = -y/3
Multiply each side by -3
-3(z-x) = -y/3 * -3
-3(z-x) = y
The population standard deviation for the heights of dogs, in inches, in a city is 3.7 inches. If we want to be 95% confident that the sample mean is within 2 inches of the true population mean, what is the minimum sample size that can be taken?
z0.101.282z0.051.645z0.0251.960z0.012.326z0.0052.576
Use the table above for the z-score, and be sure to round up to the nearest integer.
========================================================
Explanation:
At 95% confidence, the z critical value is roughly z = 1.960
The population standard deviation is given to be sigma = 3.7
The error is E = 2 since we want to be within 2 inches of the population mean mu
The min sample size needed is:
n = (z*sigma/E)^2
n = (1.960*3.7/2)^2
n = 13.147876
n = 14
We always round up to the nearest whole number to ensure that we clear the hurdle (otherwise, the sample is too small). It doesn't matter that we're closer to 13 than to 14.

in how many ways 6 gentleman and 4 ladies can be choosen out of 10 gentleman and 8 ladies?
Answer:
5880 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
For selections like this, we solve using the combination theory. Recall that
nCr = n!/(n-r)!r!
Hence given to find the number of ways 6 gentleman and 4 ladies can be choosen out of 10 gentleman and 8 ladies,
= 10C6 * 8C4
= 10!/(10-6)!6! * 8!/(8-6)!6!
= 10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6!/4 *3 *2 * 6! * 8 * 7 * 6!/2 * 6!
= 210 * 28
= 5880 ways
The arrangement can be done in 5880 ways

Shaun is planting trees along his driveway, and he has 66 redwoods and 66 pine trees to plant in one row. What is the probability that he randomly plants the trees so that all 66 redwoods are next to each other and all 66 pine trees are next to each other
Answer:
0.0022 = 0.22% probability that he randomly plants the trees so that all 6 redwoods are next to each other and all 6 pine trees are next to each other.
Step-by-step explanation:
The trees are arranged, so the arrangements formula is used to solve this question. Also, a probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
Arrangements formula:
The number of possible arrangements of n elements is given by:
[tex]A_n = n![/tex]
Desired outcomes:
Two cases:
6 redwoods(6! ways) then the 6 pine trees(6! ways)
6 pine trees(6! ways) then the 6 redwoods(6! ways)
So
[tex]D = 2*6!*6![/tex]
Total outcomes:
12 trees, so:
[tex]D = 12![/tex]
What is the probability that he randomly plants the trees so that all 6 redwoods are next to each other and all 6 pine trees are next to each other?
[tex]p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{2*6!*6!}{12!} = 0.0022[/tex]
0.0022 = 0.22% probability that he randomly plants the trees so that all 6 redwoods are next to each other and all 6 pine trees are next to each other.
Evaluate the expression.

Is segment AB tangent to circle O shown in the diagram, for AB = 8, OB = 3.75, and AO = 10.25. Explain your reasoning and show all work in your own words. (The figure is not drawn to scale.)
9514 1404 393
Answer:
not tangent
Step-by-step explanation:
AB will be tangent to circle O if AB ⊥ BO. That can be tested by checking to see if AB, BO, and AO satisfy the Pythagorean theorem.
According to the Pythagorean theorem, the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 3.75 and 8 will be ...
hypotenuse = √(3.75² +8²) = √78.0625 ≈ 8.835
The length of AO is somewhat greater than that, so AB cannot be a tangent to the circle.
