Answer: the opposite of 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Every number 'a' on number line is exactly opposite of '-a'.
So, 15 is the opposite of '-15'
Also absolute value for any number gives its positive value, soabsolute value of 15 = 15
Moving 0 to 15 gives the distance between zero and 15.
So all statements are true except "the opposite of 15".
Hence, the required statement is "the opposite of 15".
find the area of the figure pictured below. 3.8ft 8.3ft 7.4ft 3.9ft
The can be divided into two rectangles, one having length [tex]8.3[/tex] and width $3.8$
Another with, dimensions $7.4-3.8=3.6$ and $3.9$
Area of first rectangle=$3.8\times8.3=31.54$
Area of second rectangle =$3.6\times3.9=14.04$
Total area $=31.54+14.04=45.58$ ft²
Answer:
45.58 ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can split the figure into two pieces
We have a tall rectangle that is 3.8 by 8.3
A = 3.8 * 8.3 =31.54 ft^2
We also have a small rectangle on the right
The dimensions are ( 7.4 - 3.8) by 3.9
A = 3.6*3.9 =14.04 ft^2
Add the areas together
31.54+14.04
45.58 ft^2
A bag contains five white balls and four black balls. Your goal is to draw two black balls. You draw two balls at random. Once you have drawn two balls, you put back any white balls, and redraw so that you again have two drawn balls. What is the probability that you now have two black balls? (Include the probability that you chose two black balls on the first draw.)
Answer:
Probabilty of both Black

For this year's fundraiser, students at a certain school who sell at least 75 magazine subscriptions win a prize. If the fourth grade students at this school sell an average (arithmetic mean) of 47 subscriptions per student, the sales are normally distributed, and have a standard deviation of 14, then approximately what percent of the fourth grade students receive a prize
Answer:
The percentage is k = 2.3%
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population mean is [tex]\mu = 47[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 14[/tex]
Given that the sales are normally distributed and that students at a certain school who sell at least 75 magazine subscriptions win a prize then the percent of the fourth grade students receive a prize is mathematically represented as
[tex]P(X > 75) = P(\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } > \frac{75 - \mu }{\sigma })[/tex]
Generally
[tex]\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } = Z (The \ standardized \ value \ of \ X )[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X > 75) = P(Z > \frac{75 - 47 }{14 })[/tex]
[tex]P(X > 75) = P(Z > 2)[/tex]
From the standardized normal distribution table
[tex]P(Z > 2) =0.023[/tex]
=> [tex]P(X > 75) = 0.023[/tex]
The percentage of the fourth grade students receive a prize is
k = 0.023 * 100
k = 2.3%

Use the formula I = prt, where I is the interest money made, p is the starting amount of money, r is the interest rate as a decimal, and t is the time the money was borrowed.
Plug in the values and solve for t:
108 = (1200)(0.03)(t)

(a) Use appropriate algebra and Theorem to find the given inverse Laplace transform. (Write your answer as a function of t.)
L−1 {3s − 10/ s2 + 25}
(b) Use the Laplace transform to solve the given initial-value problem.
y' + 3y = e6t, y(0) = 2
(a) Expand the given expression as
[tex]\dfrac{3s-10}{s^2+25}=3\cdot\dfrac s{s^2+25}-2\cdot\dfrac5{s^2+25}[/tex]
You should recognize the Laplace transform of sine and cosine:
[tex]L[\cos(at)]=\dfrac s{s^2+a^2}[/tex]
[tex]L[\sin(at)]=\dfrac a{s^2+a^2}[/tex]
So we have
[tex]L^{-1}\left[\dfrac{3s-10}{s^2+25}\right]=3\cos(5t)-2\sin(5t)[/tex]
(b) Take the Laplace transform of both sides:
[tex]y'(t)+3y(t)=e^{6t}\implies (sY(s)-y(0))+3Y(s)=\dfrac1{s-6}[/tex]
Solve for [tex]Y(s)[/tex]:
[tex](s+3)Y(s)-2=\dfrac1{s-6}\implies Y(s)=\dfrac{2s-11}{(s-6)(s+3)}[/tex]
Decompose the right side into partial fractions:
[tex]\dfrac{2s-11}{(s-6)(s+3)}=\dfrac{\theta_1}{s-6}+\dfrac{\theta_2}{s+3}[/tex]
[tex]2s-11=\theta_1(s+3)+\theta_2(s-6)[/tex]
[tex]2s-11=(\theta_1+\theta_2)s+(3\theta_1-6\theta_2)[/tex]
[tex]\begin{cases}\theta_1+\theta_2=2\\3\theta_1-6\theta_2=-11\end{cases}\implies\theta_1=\dfrac19,\theta_2=\dfrac{17}9[/tex]
So we have
[tex]Y(s)=\dfrac19\cdot\dfrac1{s-6}+\dfrac{17}9\cdot\dfrac1{s+3}[/tex]
and taking the inverse transforms of both sides gives
[tex]y(t)=\dfrac19e^{6t}+\dfrac{17}9e^{-3t}[/tex]

20 POINTS! You are planning to use a ceramic tile design in your new bathroom. The tiles are equilateral triangles. You decide to arrange the tiles in a hexagonal shape as shown. If the side of each tile measures 9 centimeters, what will be the exact area of each hexagonal shape?
Answer:
210.33 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that 6 equilateral triangles makes one hexagon.
Also, an equilateral triangle has all its sides equal.
If the tile of each side of the triangular tile measure 9 cm, then the height of the triangular tiles can be gotten using Pythagoras's Theorem.
The triangle formed by each tile can be split along its height, into two right angle triangles with base (adjacent) 4.5 cm and slant side (hypotenuse) of 9 cm. The height (opposite) is calculated as,
From Pythagoras's theorem,
[tex]hyp^{2} = adj^{2} + opp^{2}[/tex]
substituting, we have
[tex]9^{2} = 4.5^{2} + opp^{2}[/tex]
81 = 20.25 + [tex]opp^{2}[/tex]
[tex]opp^{2}[/tex] = 81 - 20.25 = 60.75
opp = [tex]\sqrt{60.75}[/tex] = 7.79 cm this is the height of the right angle triangle, and also the height of the equilateral triangular tiles.
The area of a triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2} bh[/tex]
where b is the base = 9 cm
h is the height = 7.79 cm
substituting, we have
area = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x 9 x 7.79 = 35.055 cm^2
Area of the hexagon that will be formed = 6 x area of the triangular tiles
==> 6 x 35.055 cm^2 = 210.33 cm^2

A new soft drink is being market tested. A sample of 400 individuals participated in the taste test and 80 indicated they like the taste. At 95% confidence, test to determine if at least 22% of the population will like the new soft drink.
Required:
Determine the p-value.
Answer: p-value of the test = 0.167
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
sample size n = 400
sample success X = 80
confidence = 95%
significance level = 1 - (95/100) = 0.05
This is the left tailed test .
The null and alternative hypothesis is
H₀ : p = 0.22
Hₐ : p < 0.22
P = x/n = 80/400 = 0.2
Standard deviation of proportion α = √{ (p ( 1 - p ) / n }
α = √ { ( 0.22 ( 1 - 0.22 ) / 400 }
α = √ { 0.1716 / 400 }
α = √0.000429
α = 0.0207
Test statistic
z = (p - p₀) / α
z = ( 0.2 - 0.22 ) / 0.0207
z = - 0.02 / 0.0207
z = - 0.9661
fail to reject null hypothesis.
P-value Approach
P-value = 0.167
As P-value >= 0.05, fail to reject null hypothesis.
Since test is left tailed so p-value of the test is 0.167. Since p-value is greater than 0.05 so we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Answer:
(9). Range; {8, 5, 2, -1, -4}
(10). Range; {-15, -7, 1, 9, 17}
Step-by-step explanation:
Domain of a function is (x-values) determined by the input values and Range of a function is determined by the (y-values) output values of the function.
(9). For the given function,
f(x) = -3x + 2
If the Domain of this function is a set of values,
{-2, -1, 0, 1, 2}
For Range,
x -2 -1 0 1 2
f(x) 8 5 2 -1 -4
Therefore, Range of the function 'f' will be; {8, 5, 2, -1, -4}
(11). f(x) = 4x + 1
Domain is {-4, -2, 0, 2, 4}
Table for input-output values will be,
x -4 -2 0 2 4
f(x) -15 -7 1 9 17
Therefore, Range of the function will be {-15, -7, 1, 9, 17}
The graph of F(x), shown below in pink, has the same shape as the graph of
G(x) = x3, shown in gray. Which of the following is the equation for F(x)?
Greetings from Brasil...
In this problem we have 2 translations: 4 units horizontal to the left and 3 units vertical to the bottom.
The translations are established as follows:
→ Horizontal
F(X + k) ⇒ k units to the left
F(X - k) ⇒ k units to the right
→ Vertical
F(X) + k ⇒ k units up
F(X) - k ⇒ k units down
In our problem, the function shifted 4 units horizontal to the left and 3 units vertical to the bottom.
F(X) = X³
4 units horizontal to the left: F(X + 4)
3 units vertical to the bottom: F(X + 4) - 3
So,
F(X) = X³
F(X + 4) - 3 = (X + 4)³ - 3The transformed function is f ( x ) = ( x + 4 )³ - 3 and the graph is plotted
What happens when a function is transformed?Every modification may be a part of a function's transformation.
Typically, they can be stretched (by multiplying outputs or inputs) or moved horizontally (by converting inputs) or vertically (by altering output).
If the horizontal axis is the input axis and the vertical is for outputs, if the initial function is y = f(x), then:
Vertical shift, often known as phase shift:
Y=f(x+c) with a left shift of c units (same output, but c units earlier)
Y=f(x-c) with a right shift of c units (same output, but c units late)
Vertical movement:
Y = f(x) + d units higher, up
Y = f(x) - d units lower, d
Stretching:
Stretching vertically by a factor of k: y = k f (x)
Stretching horizontally by a factor of k: y = f(x/k)
Given data ,
Let the function be represented as g ( x )
Now , the value of g ( x ) = x³
And , the transformed function has coordinates as A ( -4 , -3 )
So , when function is shifted 4 units to the left , we get
g' ( x ) = ( x + 4 )³
And , when the function is shifted vertically by 3 units down , we get
f ( x ) = ( x + 4 )³ - 3
Hence , the transformed function is f ( x ) = ( x + 4 )³ - 3

A machine fills boxes weighing Y lb with X lb of salt, where X and Y are normal with mean 100 lb and 5 lb and standard deviation 1 lb and 0.5 lb, respectively. What percent of filled boxes weighing between 104 lb and 106 lb are to be expected?
a. 67%
b. None
c. 37%
d. 57%
Answer:
Option b. None is the correct option.
The Answer is 63%
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for this question, we would be using the z score formula
The formula for calculating a z-score is given as:
z = (x-μ)/σ,
where
x is the raw score
μ is the population mean
σ is the population standard deviation.
We have boxes X and Y. So we will be combining both boxes
Mean of X = 100 lb
Mean of Y = 5 lb
Total mean = 100 + 5 = 105lb
Standard deviation for X = 1 lb
Standard deviation for Y = 0.5 lb
Remember Variance = Standard deviation ²
Variance for X = 1lb² = 1
Variance for Y = 0.5² = 0.25
Total variance = 1 + 0.25 = 1.25
Total standard deviation = √Total variance
= √1.25
Solving our question, we were asked to find the percent of filled boxes weighing between 104 lb and 106 lb are to be expected. Hence,
For 104lb
z = (x-μ)/σ,
z = 104 - 105 / √25
z = -0.89443
Using z score table ,
P( x = z)
P ( x = 104) = P( z = -0.89443) = 0.18555
For 1061b
z = (x-μ)/σ,
z = 106 - 105 / √25
z = 0.89443
Using z score table ,
P( x = z)
P ( x = 106) = P( z = 0.89443) = 0.81445
P(104 ≤ Z ≤ 106) = 0.81445 - 0.18555
= 0.6289
Converting to percentage, we have :
0.6289 × 100 = 62.89%
Approximately = 63 %
Therefore, the percent of filled boxes weighing between 104 lb and 106 lb that are to be expected is 63%
Since there is no 63% in the option, the correct answer is Option b. None.
The percent of filled boxes weighing between 104 lb and 106 lb is to be expected will be 63%.
What is a normal distribution?It is also called the Gaussian Distribution. It is the most important continuous probability distribution. The curve looks like a bell, so it is also called a bell curve.
The z-score is a numerical measurement used in statistics of the value's relationship to the mean of a group of values, measured in terms of standards from the mean.
A machine fills boxes weighing Y lb with X lb of salt, where X and Y are normal with a mean of 100 lb and 5 lb and standard deviation of 1 lb and 0.5 lb, respectively.
The percent of filled boxes weighing between 104 lb and 106 lb is to be expected will be
Then the Variance will be
[tex]Var = \sigma ^2[/tex]
Then for X, we have
[tex]Var (X) = 1^2 = 1[/tex]
Then for Y, we have
[tex]Var (Y) = 0.5^2 = 0.25[/tex]
Then the total variance will be
[tex]Total \ Var (X+Y) = 1 + 0.25 = 1.25[/tex]
The total standard deviation will be
[tex]\sigma _T = \sqrt{Var(X+Y)}\\\\\sigma _T = \sqrt{1.25}[/tex]
For 104 lb, then
[tex]z = \dfrac{104-105}{\sqrt{25}} = -0.89443\\\\P(x = 104) = 0.18555[/tex]
For 106 lb, then
[tex]z = \dfrac{106-105}{\sqrt{25}} = 0.89443\\\\P(x = 106) = 0.81445[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(104 \leq Z \leq 106) = 0.81445 - 0.18555 = 0.6289 \ or \ 62.89\%[/tex]

How many ways can you arrange your 3 statistics books, 2 math books, and 1 computer science book on your bookshelf if (a) the books can be arranged in any order
Answer:
720 different ways.
Step-by-step explanation:
Permutation has to do with arrangement. For example, in order to arrange 'n' objects in any order, this can only be done in n! ways since there is no condition or restriction on how to arrange the objects.
n! = n(n-1)(n-2)... (n-r)!
If there are 3 statistics books, 2 math books, and 1 computer science book on your bookshelf, the total number of books altogether is 3 + 2 + 1 = 6 books.
The number of ways that 6 books can be arranged in any order is 6!.
6! = 6(6-1)(6-2)(6-3)(6-4)(6-5)
6! = 6*5*4*3*2*1
6! = 120*6
6!= 720 different ways.
Hence, the books on your shelf can be arranged in 720 different ways.

proportion of high school students that drink coffee p = 20% = 0.20
The proportion of the students that did not drink coffee = 1 - p
Let X be the random variable that follows a normal distribution
X [tex]\sim[/tex] N (n, p)
X [tex]\sim[/tex] N (75, 0.20)
[tex]\mu = np[/tex] = 75 × 0.20
[tex]\mu =[/tex] 15
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{p (1-p) n}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{0.20(1-0.20) 75}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{0.20*0.80* 75}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{12}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = 3.464[/tex]
Now ; if 14 or more people drank coffee ; then
[tex]P(X \geq 14) = P(\dfrac{X-\mu }{\sigma} \leq \dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma})[/tex]
[tex]P(X \geq 14) =P(\dfrac{14-\mu }{\sigma} \leq \dfrac{14-15}{3.464})[/tex]
[tex]P(X \geq 14) = P(Z \leq \dfrac{-1}{3.464})[/tex]
[tex]P(X \geq 14) = P(Z \leq -0.28868)[/tex]
From the standard normal z tables; (-0.288)
[tex]P(X \geq 14) = P(Z \leq 0.38667)[/tex]
[tex]P(X \geq 14) = 1 - 0.38667[/tex]
[tex]P(X \geq 14) = 0.61333[/tex]
the probability that out of these 75 people, 14 or more drink coffee is 0.6133
An urn contains two blue balls (denoted B1 and B2) and three white balls (denoted W1, W2, and W3). One ball is drawn, its color is recorded, and it is replaced in the urn. Then another ball is drawn and its color is recorded.
a. Let B1 W2 denote the outcome that the first ball drawn is B1 and the second ball drawn is W2. Because the first ball is replaced before the second ball is drawn, the outcomes of the experiment are equally likely. List all 25 possible outcomes of the experiment.
b. Consider the event that the first ball that is drawn is blue. List all outcomes in the event. What is the probability of the event?
c. Consider the event that only white balls are drawn. List all outcomes in the event. What is the probability of the event?
Answer:
(a) Shown below.
(b) The probability that the first ball drawn is blue is 0.40.
(c) The probability that only white balls are drawn is 0.36.
Step-by-step explanation:
The balls in the urn are as follows:
Blue balls: B₁ and B₂
White balls: W₁, W₂ and W₃
It is provided that two balls are drawn from the urn, with replacement, and their color is recorded.
(a)
The possible outcomes of selecting two balls are as follows:
B₁B₁ B₂B₁ W₁B₁ W₂B₁ W₃B₁
B₁B₂ B₂B₂ W₁B₂ W₂B₂ W₃B₂
B₁W₁ B₂W₁ W₁W₁ W₂W₁ W₃W₁
B₁W₂ B₂W₂ W₁W₂ W₂W₂ W₃W₂
B₁W₃ B₂W₃ W₁W₃ W₂W₃ W₃W₃
There are a total of N = 25 possible outcomes.
(b)
The sample space for selecting a blue ball first is:
S = {B₁B₁, B₁B₂, B₁W₁, B₁W₂, B₁W₃, B₂B₁, B₂B₂, B₂W₁, B₂W₂, B₂W₃}
n (S) = 10
Compute the probability that the first ball drawn is blue as follows:
[tex]P(\text{First ball is Blue})=\frac{n(S)}{N}=\frac{10}{25}=0.40[/tex]
Thus, the probability that the first ball drawn is blue is 0.40.
(c)
The sample space for selecting only white balls is:
X = {W₁W₁, W₂W₁, W₃W₁, W₁W₂, W₂W₂, W₃W₂, W₁W₃, W₂W₃, W₃W₃}
n (X) = 9
Compute the probability that only white balls are drawn as follows:
[tex]P(\text{Only White balls})=\frac{n(X)}{N}=\frac{9}{25}=0.36[/tex]
Thus, the probability that only white balls are drawn is 0.36.
Using the digits 0-9, at most only one time each, fill in the boxes to
Answer:
2 * 3 + 4 * 5 = 26
5 * 7 + 1 * 8 = 43
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
_ * _ + _ * _ = _ _
Required
Fill in the boxes with digits 0 to 9
From the question we understand that the result must be two digits i.e. _ _
To solve this, we'll make use of trial by error method:
Fill the first two boxes wit 2 and 3: _ * _ becomes 2 * 3
Fill the next two boxes with 4 and 5: _ * _ becomes 4 * 5
So,we have
2 * 3 + 4 * 5
6 + 20
26
Hence, the first combination is 2 * 3 + 4 * 5 = 26
Another possible combination is:
Fill the first two boxes wit 5 and 7: _ * _ becomes 5 * 7
Fill the next two boxes with 1 and 8: _ * _ becomes 1 * 8
So,we have
5 * 7 + 1 * 8
35 + 8
43
Hence, another combination is 5 * 7 + 1 * 8 = 43
Note that; there are more possible combinations
In a recent survey of drinking laws, a random sample of 1000 women showed that 65% were in favor of increasing the legal drinking age. In a random sample of 1000 men, 60% favored increasing the legal drinking age. Test the claim that the percentage of men and women favoring a higher legal drinking age is different at (alpha 0.05).
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Let sample size of women be [tex]n_1[/tex] = 1000
Let the proportion of the women be [tex]p_1[/tex] = 0.65
Let the sample size of the men be [tex]n_2[/tex] = 1000
Let the proportion of the mem be [tex]p_2[/tex] = 0.60
The null and the alternative hypothesis can be computed as follows:
[tex]H_0: p_1 = p_2[/tex]
[tex]H_0a: p_1 \neq p_2[/tex]
Thus from the alternative hypothesis we can realize that this is a two tailed test.
However, the pooled sample proportion p = [tex]\dfrac{p_1n_1+p_2n_2 } {n_1 +n_2}[/tex]
p =[tex]\dfrac{0.65 * 1000+0.60*1000 } {1000 +1000}[/tex]
p = [tex]\dfrac{650+600 } {2000}[/tex]
p = 0.625
The standard error of the test can be computed as follows:
[tex]SE = \sqrt{p(1-p) ( \dfrac{1} {n_1}+ \dfrac{1}{n_2} )}[/tex]
[tex]SE = \sqrt{0.625(1-0.625) ( \dfrac{1} {1000}+ \dfrac{1}{1000} )}[/tex]
[tex]SE = \sqrt{0.625(0.375) ( 0.001+0.001 )}[/tex]
[tex]SE = \sqrt{0.234375 (0.002)}[/tex]
[tex]SE = \sqrt{4.6875 * 10^{-4}}[/tex]
[tex]SE = 0.02165[/tex]
The test statistics is :
[tex]z =\dfrac{p_1-p_2}{S.E}[/tex]
[tex]z =\dfrac{0.65-0.60}{0.02165}[/tex]
[tex]z =\dfrac{0.05}{0.02165}[/tex]
[tex]z =2.31[/tex]
At level of significance of 0.05 the critical value for the z test will be in the region between - 1.96 and 1.96
Rejection region: To reject the null hypothesis if z < -1.96 or z > 1.96
Conclusion: Since the value of z is greater than 1.96, it lies in the region region. Therefore we reject the null hypothesis and we conclude that the percentage of men and women favoring a higher legal drinking age is different.
