n a history class there are 88 history majors and 88 non-history majors. 44 students are randomly selected to present a topic. What is the probability that at least 22 of the 44 students selected are non-history majors
Answer:
0.5675 = 56.75% probability that at least 22 of the 44 students selected are non-history majors.
Step-by-step explanation:
The students are chosen without replacement from the sample, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question. We are working also with a sample with more than 10 history majors and 10 non-history majors, which mean that the normal approximation can be 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]
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.
Approximation:
We have to use the mean and the standard deviation of the hypergeometric distribution, that is:
[tex]\mu = \frac{nk}{N}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{nk(N-k)(N-n)}{N^2(N-1)}}[/tex]
In this question:
88 + 88 = 176 students, which means that [tex]N = 176[/tex]
88 non-history majors, which means that [tex]k = 88[/tex]
44 students are selected, which means that [tex]n = 44[/tex]
Mean and standard deviation:
[tex]\mu = \frac{44*88}{176} = 22[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{44*88*(176-88)*(176-44)}{176^2(175-1)}} = 2.88[/tex]
What is the probability that at least 22 of the 44 students selected are non-history majors?
Using continuity correction, as the hypergeometric distribution is discrete and the normal is continuous, this is [tex]P(X \geq 22 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 21.5)[/tex], which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 21.5. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{21.5 - 22}{2.88}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.17[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.17[/tex] has a p-value of 0.4325
1 - 0.4325 = 0.5675
0.5675 = 56.75% probability that at least 22 of the 44 students selected are non-history majors.
what is Collatz conjecture?
Is Collatz conjecture always true?
What so special about 3x+1 ?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The Collatz Conjecture is one of the most intreging of all the possible simple statements in mathematics.
Simply put it says
if a number is even, divide by 2If a number is odd, multiply by 3 and add1. or 3x + 1The result will always wind up in a loop. Neat huh!!! Where you wind up going over the same numbers over and over. You can't escape the loop.Try 5
It's odd so triple it and add 1. You get 1616 is even. Divide by 2. You get 88 is even. Divide by 2. You get 44 is even. Divide by 2. You get 22 is even. Divide by 2. You get 11 is odd. Triple it and add 1. You get 4. You can see you wind up doing 4 2 1 forever. The Collatz conjecture has not been proved, but every number up to 2^68 has been shown to go to this loop eventually.Try another one -- 15. On the 16th move it goes from 4 to 2 to 1 and then keeps on repeating those 3 digits.
Take 15It's odd. Triple it and add 1. That gives 46.46 is even. Divide by 223 which is odd. Triple it and add 1 = 7070 is even. Divide by 2. 3535 is odd. Triple and add 1. 106 which is even53 which is odd. Triple it and add 1. You get 160160 is even. Divide by 2. You get 8080 is even Divide by 2. You get 4040 is even. Divide by 2. You get 2020 is even. Divide by 2. You get 1010 is even. Divide by 2. You get 55 is odd. Triple it and add 1. You get 1616 is even. Divide by 2. You get 88 is even. Divide by 2. You get 44 is even. Divide by 2.. You get 2.2 is even. Divide by 2. You get 11 is odd and you are in the loop because you get 4 which you have already done.A sequence is defined by the recursive function f(n + 1) = f(n) – 2.
If f(1) = 10, what is f(3)?
1
6
8
30
Answer:
f(3) = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
If f(1)=10, then f(1+1)=f(1)-2
f (2) = 10 - 2 = 8
Therefore f(3) = f(2) - 2 = 8 - 2 = 6

A certificate of deposit offers a nominal interest rate of 2.5 percent annually.
If inflation is 1 percent, what is the real rate of return?
To solve this question, the real rate of return formula is used, and we apply the data given in the exercise into the formula to find the real rate of return.
Formula for the real rate of return:
[tex]R = \frac{1 + N}{1 + i} - 1[/tex]
In which N is the nomial rate and i is the inflation rate, as decimals.
A certificate of deposit offers a nominal interest rate of 2.5 percent annually.
This means that [tex]N = 0.025[/tex]
Inflation is 1 percent
This means that [tex]i = 0.01[/tex]
What is the real rate of return:
Now we apply the formula:
[tex]R = \frac{1 + 0.025}{1 + 0.01} - 1[/tex]
[tex]R = 1.0149 - 1[/tex]
[tex]R = 0.0149[/tex]
0.0149*100% = 1.49%
Thus, the real rate of return is of 1.49%.

This figure shows △ABC. BD¯¯¯¯¯ is the angle bisector of ∠ABC.
What is AD?
Answer:
AD = 8/3 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the angle bisector theorem, angle bisector BD divides AC into AD and CD such that they are proportional to AB and CB.
This implies:
AB/AD = CB/CD
AB = 8
CB = 10
Set AD equal to x
AD = x
CD = 6 - x
Substitute the values
8/x = 10/(6 - x)
8(6 - x) = 10(x)
48 - 8x = 10x
48 - 8x + 8x = 10x + 8x
48 = 18x
48/18 = 18x/18
8/3 = x
x = 8/3
AD = 8/3 units
Answer:8/3

You can run at a speed of 4 mph and swim at a speed of 2 mph and are located on the shore, 6 miles east of an island that is 1 mile north of the shoreline. How far (in mi) should you run west to minimize the time needed to reach the island
9514 1404 393
Answer:
5.423 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the distance to run. Then the remaining distance to the point that is closest to the island is (6-x) miles. The straight-line distance (d) to the point x from the island is given by the Pythagorean theorem:
d² = 1² +(6 -x)² = x² -12x +37
d = √(x² -12x +37)
The total travel time is the sum of times running and swimming. Each time is found from ...
time = distance/speed
total time = x/4 + d/2 = x/4 +(1/2)√(x² -12x +37)
__
The total time will be minimized when its derivative with respect to x is zero.
t' = 1/4 +(1/4)(2x -12)/√(x² -12x +37) = 0
Multiplying by 4 and combining fractions, we can see the numerator will be ...
√(x² -12x +37) +2x -12 = 0
Subtracting the radical term and squaring both sides, we get ...
4x² -48x +144 = x² -12x +37
3x² -36x +107 = 0
The quadratic formula tells us the smaller of the two roots is ...
x = (36 -√(36² -4(3)(107)))/(2(3)) = (36 -√12)/6 ≈ 5.423 . . . mi
You should run 5.423 miles west to minimize the time needed to reach the island.

Answer:
8. -2a+14
9. w=3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
8.
The distributive property states that we can multiply each component in the parenthesis separately by the number on the outside, and then add that up to get our final answer.
For -2(a-7), this means that we can multiply -2 by a and then -2 by -7 (as 2 is the number on the outside, and a and -7 are the components in the parenthesis), add them up, and get our answer. This can be expressed as
-2 * a + (-2) * (-7) = final answer
= -2 * a + 14
We know that -2 * -7 = 14 because 2 * 7 = 14, and the two negatives in multiplication cancel each other out
9.
Using the subtraction property of equality, we can isolate the variable (w) and its coefficient (-2/3) by subtracting 5, resulting in
(-2/3)w = 4-5 = -1
Next, we can use the multiplication property of equality to isolate the w. To isolate the w, we can multiply its coefficient by its reciprocal. The reciprocal is the fraction flipped over. For (-2/3), its reciprocal is (-3/2), flipping the 2 and 3. We can multiply both sides by (-3/2) to get
w = (-3/2)
To check this, we can plug (-3/2) for w in our original equation, so
(-2/3) * (-3/2) + 5 = 4
-1 + 5 = 4
4 = 4
This works!
