For a certain river, suppose the drought length Y is the number of consecutive time intervals in which the water supply remains below a critical value y0 (a deficit), preceded by and followed by periods in which the supply exceeds this critical value (a surplus). An article proposes a geometric distribution with p = 0.365 for this random variable. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

a. What is the probability that a drought lasts at most 3 intervals?
b. What is the probability that the length of a drought exceeds its mean value by at least one standard deviation?

Answers

Answer 1

Solution :

a). P(X = x)

     =   [tex]$p(1-p)^x$[/tex]  for x = 0, 1, 2, ....

   P(x ≤ 3) = 0.837

b). Expectation = [tex]$\frac{(1-p)}{p}$[/tex]

                        = 1.7397

  Variance = [tex]$\frac{(1-p)}{p^2}$[/tex]

                 = 4.7663726

  Standard deviation = 2.1832

 Therefore, mean + standard deviation

                  = 1.7397 + 2.1832

                  = 3.9229

[tex]$P(x > 3.9229) = 0.1626$[/tex]

So the required P = 2 x 0.1626

                             = 0.325

A polynomial function is shown below:

f(x) = x3 − 3x2 − 4x + 12

Which graph best represents the function? (5 points)

Answers

Answer:

Graph A (first graph from top to bottom)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given [tex]f(x)=x^3-3x^2-4x+12[/tex], since the degree of the polynomial is 3, the function must be odd and will resemble the shown shape in the graphs. The degree of 3 indicates that there are 3 zeroes, whether distinct or non-distinct. Therefore, the graph must intersect the x-axis at these three points.

Factoring the polynomial:

[tex]f(x)=x^3-3x^2-4x+12,\\f(x)=(x+2)(x-2)(x-3),\\\begin{cases}x+2=0, x=-2\\x-2=0, x=2\\x-3=, x=3\end{cases}[/tex]

Thus, the three zeroes of this function are [tex]x=-2, x=2, x=3[/tex] and the graph must intersection the x-axis at these points. The y-intercept of any graph occurs when [tex]x=0[/tex]. Thus, the y-coordinate of the y-intercept is equal to [tex]y=0^3-3(0^2)-4(0)+12,\\y=12[/tex] and the y-intercept is (0, 12).

The graph that corresponds with this is graph A.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

opening the brackets;

(-6×-2/3)- 12x

-2×-2 -12x

4-12x

Answer:

4 - 12x

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find an equivalent expression by distributing

-6(-⅔+2x)

Distribute by multiplying -6 times what's inside of the parenthesis ( -2/3 and 2x )

-6 * -⅔ = 4

-6 * 2x = -12x

We would be left with 4 - 12x

Two triangles have the same area. One triangle has a base of 4 cm and a height of 7 cm. If the height of the other triangle is 14 cm, then what is its base length?
3 cm
2 cm
4 cm
5 cm​

Answers

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

→ Work out the area of the first triangle

0.5 × 4 × 7 = 14

→ Set up an equation for the second base

0.5 × x × 14 = 14

→ Simplify

7x = 14

→ Divide both sides by 7

x = 2

Answer:

option B = 2cm

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]Area \ of \ first \ triangle = \frac{1}{2} \times base_1 \times height_1 \ [ \where base_1 = 4\cm \ height_1 \ = 7cm \ ][/tex]

                                 [tex]=\frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 7 \\\\= 14 \ cm^2[/tex]

Given area of second triangle is same as first.

[tex]Area \ of \ second \ triangle = \frac{1}{2} \times base_2 \times height_2 \ [ \ where \ height _ 2 = 14cm \ ][/tex]

                           [tex]14 = \frac{1}{2} \times base_2 \times 14\\\\14 = 7 \times base_2\\\\base_2 = 2 \ cm[/tex]

Answer:

One Apple.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a basic subtraction and addition problem. She began with one apple and gave one to her friend. How many apples is Elysia holding now? 2-1= 1

One apple.

Elysia will have one apple, as one apple is being subtracted because she gave it to her friend.

What is subtraction?

In math, to subtract means to take away from a group or a number of things. When we subtract, the number of things in the group reduces or becomes less.

Given that, Elysia has 2 apples she gives 1 to her friend,

To find the number of apples Elysia left with, we will subtract the number of apples she gave to her friend to the number of apples she had,

Number of apples Elysia left with = 2-1 = 1

Hence, Elysia will have one apple.

A random sample of 21 desktop PCs is selected. The mean life span is 6.8 years with a standard deviation of 2.4 years. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean life span of all desktop PCs. Assume that the life spans of all desktop PCs are approximately normally distributed (a) (5.85, 7.75) (b) (1.68, 3.12) (c) (5.60, 8.00) (d) (5.71, 7.89) (e) (5.77, 7.83)

Answers

Answer:

(d) (5.71, 7.89)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 21 - 1 = 20

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 20 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 2.086

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.086\frac{2.4}{\sqrt{21}} = 1.09[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 6.8 - 1.09 = 5.71 years

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 6.8 + 1.09 = 7.89 years

So the confidence interval is (5.71, 7.89), and the correct answer is given by option b.

the probability that a customer of a network operator has a problem about you needing technical staff's help in a month is 0.01. This operator installs internet for 500 households in a residential area a, Calculate the average number of households in this residential area having internet problems in a certain month
b, Calculate the probability that in 6 consecutive months there is only one month that no customer in this area has a network problem that needs the help of technical staff​

Answers

Answer:

(a) average calls = 5  

(b) probability that there is exactly one call in 6 consecutive monts = 0.038

Step-by-step explanation:

Let event of a customer requiring help in a particular month = H

and event of a customer not requiring help in a particular month = ~H

Given

p= 0.01,  therefore

Number of households, n = 500.

Binomial distribution:

x = number of households requiring help in a particular month

P(x,n,p) = C(x,n)*p^x*(1-p)^(n-x)

where

C(x,n) = n!/(x!(n-x)!) is the the number of combinations of x objects out of n

(a) Average number of households requiring help = np = 500*0.01 = 5

(b)

Probability that there are no calls requiring help in a particular month

P(0), q= C(0,n)*p^0(1-p)^(n-0)

= 1*1*0.99^500

= 0.006570483

Applying binomial probability over six months,

q = 0.006570483

n = 6

x = 1

P(x,n,q)

= C(x,n)*q^x*(1-q)^(n-x)

= 6!/(1!*5!) * 0.006570483^1 * (1-0.006570483)^5

= 0.038145

Therefore the probability that in 6 consecutive months there is exactly one month that no customer has called for help = 0.038

Mr. Arju wishs to purchase a house . to buy the house he needs to make a down payment of nu.300000 and also pay nu.15000 every quarter for the next 8 years. the interest charge is 9% per year compounded quarterly. what is the price of the house?​

Answers

Answer:

The price of the house is $ 853,735.05.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Mr. Arju wishes to purchase a house, and to buy the house he needs to make a down payment of $ 300,000 and also pay $ 15,000 every quarter for the next 8 years, if the interest charge is 9% per year compounded quarterly, to determine what is the price of the house, the following calculation must be performed:

300,000 + (15,000 x 12 x 8) = X

300,000 + (180,000 x 8) = X

300,000 + 1,440,000 = X

1,740,000 = X

X x (1 + 0.09 / 4) ^ 8x4 = 1,740,000

X x (1 + 0.0225) ^ 32 = 1,740,000

X x 1.0225 ^ 32 = 1,740,000

X x 2.0381030257737 = 1,740,000

X = 1,740,000 / 2.03810

X = 853,735.05

Therefore, the price of the house is $ 853,735.05.
