A local food bank uses volunteers to staff the kitchen. If there are 30 college students working there out of a total of 100 volunteers, what is the probability that in a sample of 10 volunteers, 4 of them are college students? Four decimal places please!

Answers

When you form a 10 people sample from a pool of large amount with equal probabilities, let s denote student and n denote non student, each spot in the sample has 1/2 chance to be s or n so each event has 1/2*1/2*1/2…. =(1/2)^10 probability. For example: snsnsnnnns. And intuitively you should see that there have a permutation 2^10 = 1024 ways to line them up (permutation with repetition like a suitcase 3-line passcode lock with 10 numbers on each line, you will have exactly 10*10*10 ways to choose passcodes, which is 10^3=1000 ways) , and each way has a probability a equal probability which is 1/1024 which is (1/2)^10.

Now let’s pick 4 students that we know for sure, mark 10 spots and have them walk randomly into each taking exactly 1 spot. There are C (10,4) possible combinations of choosing 4 people to walk in, for example 4s taking spot 3,6,7,10; 2,5,7,8; … C(10,4) = 210 ways. This represents that in a 10 spot line with 4 students and 6 non students in it, no matter how they are arranged there are 210 ways they line up. Now since each way has a prob 1/1024 we have a probability of 210 ways multiply by 1/1024 which = 55/256.

That was the case with large pool of equal number of S and N let’s make it a more realistic say 50 students and 50 non students. (1/2 derived from 50/100 or 5/10)

So now we have 30 students and 70 non students pool, the answer should be (3/10)^4*(7/10) ^6 which is the probability of 4 students and 6 non students lined up in some way while choosing them from the pool. Here we can also see that each 10 people sample no longer have the same probability. And that number came out to be 0.0081*0.117649=0.00095. And again there are 210 ways of arranging them so the probability is 210 ways multiply by 0.00095 which is 20%. This is the Answer.

According to the graph of the rational function y equals 4 over the quantity x squared minus 4 end quantity which of the following statements is/are true? The function is even. The function is increasing for all values in the domain. There is a horizontal asymptote along the x-axis. I only I and II only I and III only I, II, and III

Answers

Using function concepts, it is found that the correct options are:

I and III only

--------------------------------

The function is:

[tex]y = \frac{4}{x^2 - 4}[/tex]

--------------------------------

Statement 1:

A function is even if: [tex]f(x) = f(-x)[/tex]

We have that:

[tex]f(x) = \frac{4}{x^2 - 4}[/tex]

[tex]f(-x) = \frac{4}{(-x)^2 - 4} = \frac{4}{x^2 - 4} = f(x)[/tex]

Since [tex]f(x) = f(-x)[/tex], the function is even, and the statement is true.

--------------------------------

Statement 2:

The function increases when: [tex]f^{\prime}(x) > 0[/tex]

The derivative is:

[tex]f^{\prime}(x) = \frac{-8x}{(x^2-4)^2}[/tex]

The denominator is always positive, but the numerator can be both positive/negative, which means that when the numerator is negative(x > 0), the derivative will be negative, thus the function will decrease and the statement is false.

--------------------------------

Statement 3:

A horizontal asymptote is given by:

[tex]y = \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x)[/tex]

In this question:

[tex]y = \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{4}{x^2 - 4} = \frac{4}{\infty - 4} = \frac{4}{\infty} = 0[/tex]

y = 0 is the x-axis, thus, the statement is true, and the correct option is:

Answers

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

we want to prove that A.M, G.M. and H.M between any two unequal positive numbers satisfy the following relations.

(G.M)²= (A.M)×(H.M) A.M>G.M>H.M

well, to do so let the two unequal positive numbers be [tex]\text{$x_1$ and $x_2$}[/tex] where:

[tex] x_{1} > x_{2}[/tex]

the AM,GM and HM of [tex]x_1[/tex] and[tex] x_2[/tex] is given by the following table:

Proof of I:

reduce fraction:

[tex] \displaystyle x_{1} + x_{2} \times \frac{1}{ \dfrac{x_{1} + x_{2}}{x_{1} x_{2}} } [/tex]

rewrite:

[tex] \displaystyle (\sqrt{x_{1} x_{2}} {)}^{2} [/tex]

[tex] \displaystyle AM \times HM = (GM{)}^{2} [/tex]

hence, PROVEN

Proof of II:

[tex] \displaystyle x_{1} > x_{2}[/tex]

square root both sides:

[tex] \displaystyle \sqrt{x_{1} }> \sqrt{ x_{2}}[/tex]

isolate right hand side expression to left hand side and change its sign:

[tex]\displaystyle\sqrt{x_{1} } - \sqrt{ x_{2}} > 0[/tex]

square both sides:

[tex]\displaystyle(\sqrt{x_{1} } - \sqrt{ x_{2}} {)}^{2} > 0[/tex]

expand using (a-b)²=a²-2ab+b²:

[tex]\displaystyle x_{1} -2\sqrt{x_{1} }\sqrt{ x_{2}} + x_{2} > 0[/tex]

move -2√x_1√x_2 to right hand side and change its sign:

[tex]\displaystyle x_{1} + x_{2} > 2 \sqrt{x_{1} } \sqrt{ x_{2}}[/tex]

divide both sides by 2:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{x_{1} + x_{2}}{2} > \sqrt{x_{1} x_{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \boxed{ AM>GM}[/tex]

again,

[tex]\displaystyle \bigg( \frac{1}{\sqrt{x_{1} }} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{ x_{2}}} { \bigg)}^{2} > 0[/tex]

expand:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{x_{1}} - \frac{2}{\sqrt{x_{1} x_{2}} } + \frac{1}{x_{2} }> 0[/tex]

move the middle expression to right hand side and change its sign:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{x_{1}} + \frac{1}{x_{2} }> \frac{2}{\sqrt{x_{1} x_{2}} }[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{\frac{1}{x_{1}} + \frac{1}{x_{2} }}{2}> \frac{1}{\sqrt{x_{1} x_{2}} }[/tex]

Congruent triangles are exact same triangles, but they might be placed at different positions. The correct option is D.

What are congruent triangles?

Suppose it is given that two triangles ΔABC ≅ ΔDEF

Then that means ΔABC and ΔDEF are congruent. Congruent triangles are exact same triangles, but they might be placed at different positions.

The order in which the congruency is written matters.

For ΔABC ≅ ΔDEF, we have all of their corresponding elements like angle and sides congruent.

Thus, we get:

[tex]\rm m\angle A = m\angle D \: or \: \: \angle A \cong \angle D \angle B = \angle E\\\\\rm m\angle B = m\angle E \: or \: \: \angle B \cong \angle E \\\\\rm m\angle C = m\angle F \: or \: \: \angle C \cong \angle F \\\\\rm |AB| = |DE| \: \: or \: \: AB \cong DE\\\\\rm |AC| = |DF| \: \: or \: \: AC \cong DF\\\\\rm |BC| = |EF| \: \: or \: \: BC \cong EF[/tex]

(|AB| denotes the length of line segment AB, and so on for others).

Given that ΔABC ≅ ΔDEF. Therefore, the given sentence can be completed as AB ≅ ΔDE.

Hence, the side AB ≅ ΔDE

A sample of 45 bottles of soft drink showed a variance of 1.1 in their contents. The process engineer wants to determine whether or not the standard deviation of the population is significantly different from 0.9 ounces. What is the value of the test statistic

Answers

Answer:

The value of the test statistic is 59.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

The test statistic for the population standard deviation is:

[tex]\chi^2 = \frac{n-1}{\sigma_0^2}s^2[/tex]

In which n is the sample size, [tex]\sigma_0[/tex] is the value tested and s is the sample standard deviation.

A sample of 45 bottles of soft drink showed a variance of 1.1 in their contents.

This means that [tex]n = 45, s^2 = 1.1[/tex]

The process engineer wants to determine whether or not the standard deviation of the population is significantly different from 0.9 ounces.

0.9 is the value tested, so [tex]\sigma_0 = 0.9, \sigma_0^2 = 0.81[/tex]

What is the value of the test statistic

[tex]\chi^2 = \frac{n-1}{\sigma_0^2}s^2[/tex]

What is an interior angle?

Angles inside a polygon are referred to as interior angles. A triangle, for instance, has three internal angles. Interior angles are sometimes defined as "angles confined in the interior area of two parallel lines when they are crossed by a transversal."

Given that a quadrilateral ABCD.

To find the angle measure of BCD,

first, we find the other interior angle with supplementary angles.

m∠DAB = 180 - 25 = 155°

m∠ABC = 180 - 146 = 34°

m∠ADC = 180 - 149 = 31°

And the total sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360°

So, m∠BCD = 360 - (34 + 31 + 155)

m∠BCD = 140°

Therefore, m∠BCD = 140°.

What effect will replacing x with (x−4) have on the graph of the equation y=(x−3)2 y = ( x − 3 ) 2 ?

Answers

Answer:

y"= 2 wich is positive

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

Our equation is: y=(x-3)²

x should be replaced by x-4

y=(x-3)²

y=[(x-4)-3]²

y=(x-4-3)²

y=(x-7)²

The graph is still a parabola but with a different vertex

The vertex here is :

y= (x-7)²

y= x²-14x-49

y'= 2x-14

solve y'=0

2x-14=0

2x=14

x=7

You can easily find it without derivating by dividing -14 by -2

since: x²-14x-49

a=1 b= -14  c=-49

-b/2a = 14/2 = 7

the image of 7 is:

y=(7-7)² = 0

so the coordinates of the new vertex are (7,0) and it's a maximum

since y">0

y'= 2x-14

y"= 2 wich is positive

The graph of [tex]y = ax^2 + bx + c[/tex] is a parabola. The axis of symmetry is [tex]x = -b/2a[/tex]. What are the coordinates of the vertex?

Answers

The vertex can be written as:

(-b/2a, b^2/(4*a) - b^2/2a + c)

For a general parabola:

y = a*x^2 + b*x + c

We can write the vertex as:

(h, k)

The x-value of the vertex is the value of the axis of symmetry.

Then we have:

h = x = -b/2a

Now we need to find the y-value of the vertex.

To do that, we just replace the variable "x" by the x-value of the vertex in our equation, so we get:

k = y = a*(-b/2a)^2 + b*(-b/2a) + c

k = b^2/(4*a) - b^2/2a + c

Then the coordinates of the vertex are:

(h, k) = (-b/2a, b^2/(4*a) - b^2/2a + c)

Find two consecutive even numbers whose sum is 758.

Answers

Answer:

378 and 380

Step-by-step explanation:

The two even consecutive numbers that add up to 758 are going to be very close to half of 758. This is because two half of 758 are going to be the most similar addends of 758. This is important because the answers will be consecutive and therefore, must also be very similar. To solve, first, divide 758 by 2. This is 379, which is not an even number. So, to find the needed addends subtract and add 1 to 379. Both of these will be even and consecutive. These two numbers are 378 and 380. Then, to check you, can add them and see that they do sum 758.

2x + 2 = 758                         Subtract 2

2x = 758 - 2                          Combine

2x = 756                                Divide by 2

2x/2 = 756/2

x = 378

The first number is 378

The second number 380

If your teacher is really fussy, you can do it this way.

Let the first number = 2x

Let the second number = 2x + 2

The reason for this is to guarantee that both numbers were even to start with.

2x + 2x+2 = 758                    Combine like terms

4x + 2 = 758                          Subtract 2

4x = 756                                Divide by 4

x = 756/4

x = 189

Therefore 2x = 378

2x + 2 = 380                 Just as before.

There's also people in need, so you decide to blend your vacation with volunteering. Volunteering as a tourist, or voluntourism, seems like a great way to explore new regions and help people at the same time. However, this "volunteer plus travel" experience can actually harm local communities. While many teens might view traveling and volunteering abroad as a worthwhile adventure, there are more genuine and effective ways to make a difference.[2] Most would agree that volunteering in general is a worthy use of time. However, what if you found out the children you are "helping" are actually being kept in poor conditions so voluntourists will spend money to come to the local area? Dale Rolfe, a supporter of ethical voluntourism, explains the shocking reality that "Animal sanctuaries and orphanages are often manufactured for the voluntourist...encouraging a cycle of exploiting the very animals and children the volunteers are trying to help."[3] Proponents of the "volunteer plus travel" experience also argue that traveling to new places builds character and is a valuable way to learn about different cultures. With voluntourism, however, participants often pursue experiences that are all about them. For example, they sign up to build a school for a gold star on their resume, but they have no real building skills and take jobs away from local construction workers (Schulten). Or, they arrive to teach English but instead take selfies with the locals. One world traveler and ethical voluntourist believes voluntourism "can perpetuate small minded views of the world by taking insulated, fake, and structured experiences and selling them as unabridged and eye opening" (Carlos). The voluntour experience is a mirage. The voluntourist's eyes are not opened to real life at the destination, and lasting change is not achieved.[4] If you want a genuine experience where you can see a lasting impact, there are better options than voluntourism. You can volunteer in your local community. Give an hour every week to your town's animal rescue. Serve monthly dinners to the homeless. Be a reliable, positive influence on a child who needs a mentor. Studies show that volunteering and forming lasting relationships with those you help has a positive impact on your physical and emotional health. In fact, blood pressure is reduced, memory is improved, and rates of depression are reduced (Michaels).[5] There is another reason to look into alternatives to voluntourism. Did you know the average "voluntour" travel package costs $3,400 (Rolfe)? Could that travel money be better spent? If the world's citizens are your passion, it could go to an international organization. If you care about education, your funds can be used to buy books for students in faraway lands. If you want villagers to have clean water, contribute funds to local efforts to dig wells. If you want to experience a different culture, travel to the country as a guest, and learn from the locals how you can best help them after you've returned home. But do not voluntour.[6] In reality, there are better ways to make a difference. Voluntourism might appear to be an adventure that blends travel and helping others, but it does little except provide a costly, superficial experience that might actually do more harm than good. So, volunteer where you are most needed-at home, where you can stay to see the job through and form genuine, lasting relationships. Choose a beautiful coastline closer to home and send the travel money you saved to an international organization that will put it to good use. Whatever you do, don't turn someone else's hardship into your vacation.What are two strategies the speaker uses to develop the point that voluntour opportunities are not legitimate ways to learn about other cultures?

I said quietly.Scenes from earlier that day played like a movie in my mind. I saw my family's car turning off the highway. I watched as our car turned onto awinding road.

Millions of tons of waste are generated each year, and much of this waste will bedisposed of in landfills and burned in furnaces. This waste takes a heavy toll on natural resources such as timber, water, and minerals, whichare not easily replaced. If you consider it burning reusable materials is like burning money: neither can ever be used again. By using recycledmaterials such as paper and aluminum to make new products and packaging, we can reduce the consumption of natural resources. Recyclingcan even produce better products than those made from non recycled materials.Excerpt 3After a few days, you will see a "cloud" form at the top of the jar.
