Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C) 3/2x-1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that it has a generally positive slope, which rules out B and D.

Plugging in a few numbers for x, we can quickly see that 6 is too high of a slope. (If we plug in 6 for x, the y value would be almost 35, not 10).  This rules out A.

While it doesn’t fit perfectly, C is by far the closest.

Answer: Multiply both sides by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

g divided by 2  is equal to 4 .

We could represent that with the equation :

[tex]\frac{g}{2} = 4[/tex]     To solve for g  in this case multiply both sides by 2.

[tex]\frac{g}{2} * 2 = 4(2)[/tex]     2 cancels out on the left side so we will be left with g. On the right side will be left with 8  after multiplying.

In triangle ABC, ∠ABC=70° and ∠ACB=50°. Points M and N lie on sides AB and AC respectively such that ∠MCB=40° and ∠NBC=50°. Find m∠NMC.

Answers

Answer:

∠NMC  = 50°

Step-by-step explanation:

The interpretation of the information given in the question can be seen in the attached images below.

In ΔABC;

∠ A + ∠ B + ∠ C = 180°    (sum of angles in a triangle)

∠ A + 70°  + 50°  = 180°

∠ A = 180° - 70° - 50°

∠ A =  180° - 120°

∠ A =  60°

In ΔAMN ; the base angle are equal , let the base angles be x and y

So; x = y   (base angle of an equilateral  triangle)

Then;

x + x + 60° = 180°

2x +  60° = 180°

2x = 180° - 60°

2x = 120°

x = 120°/2

x = 60°

∴ x = 60° , y = 60°

In ΔBQC

∠a + ∠e + ∠b = 180°

50° + ∠e + 40° = 180°

∠e = 180° - 50° - 40°

∠e = 180° - 90°

∠e = 90°

At point Q , ∠e = ∠f = ∠g = ∠h = 90°  (angles at a point)

∠i  = 50° - 40° = 10°

In ΔNQC

∠f + ∠i   + ∠j = 180°

90° + 10° + ∠j = 180°

∠j  = 180° - 90°-10°

∠j  = 180° - 100°

∠j  = 80°

From  line AC , at point N , ∠y + ∠c + ∠j = 180°   (sum of angles on a straight line)

60° + ∠c + ∠80° = 180°

∠c  = 180° - 60°-80°

∠c  = 180° - 140°

∠c  = 40°

Recall that :

At point Q , ∠e = ∠f = ∠g = ∠h = 90°  (angles at a point)

Then In Δ NMC ;

∠d + ∠h + ∠c = 180°   (sum of angles in a triangle)

∠d + 90° + 40° = 180°

∠d  = 180° - 90° -40°

∠d  = 180° - 130°

∠d  = 50°

Therefore, ∠NMC = ∠d  = 50°

Answers

Answer:

0.4207149;0.7271136; 0.3063987; 0.04979 ; 0.01832

Step-by-step explanation:

For an exponential distribution:

IF Mean time until failure = 23100

λ = 1/ 23100 = 0.0000432900

What is the probability that a randomly selected fan will last at least 20,000 hours

x ≥ 20000

P(X ≥ 20000) = 1 - P(X ≤ 20000)

1 - P(X ≤ 20000) = [1 - (1 - e^(-λx))]

1 - P(X ≤ 20000) = [1 - (1 - e^(-0.0000432900*20000)

1 - P(X ≤ 20000) = [1 - (1 - 0.4207148)]

1 - P(X ≤ 20000) = 1 - 0.5792851

1 - P(X ≤ 20000) = 0.4207149

11) What is the probability that a randomly selected fan will last at most 30,000 hours?

x ≤ 30000

P(X ≤ 30000) = 1 - e^(-λx)

P(X ≤ 20000) = 1 - e^(-0.0000432900*30000)

= 1 - e^(−1.2987)

= 1 - 0.2728863

= 0.7271136

111) What is the probability that a randomly selected fan will last between 20,000 hours and 30,000 hours?

0.7271136 - 0.4207149 = 0.3063987

B) What is the probability that the lifetime of a fan exceeds the mean value by more than 2 standard deviations?

More than two standard deviation

X = 23100 + 2(23100) = 23100 + 46200 = 69300

Using the online exponential probability calculator :

P(X > 69300) = 0.04979

C) What is the probability that the lifetime of a fan exceeds the mean value by more than 3 standard deviations?

Answers

Answer:

x = sqrt(50) = 5sqrt(2) = 7.071 ft (to 3 decimals)

Step-by-step explanation:

referring to the diagram

theta (x) = atan(10/x) - atan(5/x)

differentiate with respect to x

theta'(x) = 5/(x^2+25) - 10/(x^2+100)

For x to have an extremum (max. or min)

theta'(x) = 0  ="

5/(x^2+25) - 10/(x^2+100) = 0

transpose and cross multiply

10(x^2+25) -5(x^2+100) = 0

expand and simplify

10x^2+250 - 5x^2-500 = 0

5x^2 = 250

x^2=50

x = sqrt(50) = 5sqrt(2) = 7.071 ft (to 3 decimals)

Since we know that if x becomes large, theta will decrease, so

x = 5sqrt(2) is a maximum.

Even though the population standard deviation is unknown, an investigator uses z rather than the more appropriate t to test a hypothesis at the .01 level of significance. In this situation the true level of significance of this test is

Answers

Answer:

The true true level of significance of this test is more than 0.01.

Step-by-step explanation:

No standard deviation and we are told that the investigator still used z rather than the more appropriate t - distribution.

This method of using the z-distribution when standard deviation is unknown will definitely result in a smaller critical value and this in turn simply means that the p-value will be smaller than what it should really be.

Thus, it means the critical value is getting closer to the mean value than the way it should be.

Therefore, means that for a given significance of 0.01 and using the z-distribution under this no standard deviation situation, the true true level of significance of this test is more than 0.01.

A soda bottling company’s manufacturing process is calibrated so that 99% of bottles are filled to within specifications, while 1% is not within specification.

What is the probability that the assembly line will be shut down, given that it is actually calibrated correctly? Use Excel to find the probability. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

The probability that the assembly line will be shut down is 0.00617.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a soda bottling company’s manufacturing process is calibrated so that 99% of bottles are filled to within specifications, while 1% is not within specification.

Every hour, 12 random bottles are taken from the assembly line and tested. If 2 or more bottles in the sample are not within specification, the assembly line is shut down for recalibration.

Let X = Number of bottles in the sample that are not within specification.

The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;

[tex]P(X=r)=\binom{n}{r} \times p^{r}\times (1-p)^{n-r};x=0,1,2,3,.....[/tex]

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 12 bottles

             x = number of success  = 2 or more bottles

            p = probabilitiy of success which in our question is probability that  

                 bottles are not within specification, i.e. p = 0.01

So, X ~ Binom (n = 12, p = 0.01)

Now, the probability that the assembly line will be shut down is given by = P(X [tex]\geq[/tex] 2)

  P(X [tex]\geq[/tex] 2) = 1 - P(X = 0) - P(X = 1)

                 = [tex]1-\binom{12}{0} \times 0.01^{0}\times (1-0.01)^{12-0}-\binom{12}{1} \times 0.01^{1}\times (1-0.01)^{12-1}[/tex]

                 = [tex]1-(1 \times 1\times 0.99^{12})-(12 \times 0.01^{1}\times 0.99^{11})[/tex]

How long will it take for a lump-sum investment to double in value at an interest rate of 1.5% per month, compounded continuously

Answers

Answer:

It will take 47 months ( 3 years and 11 months)

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the compound interest formula here.

Mathematically;

A = P( 1 + r)^t

Where A is the amount which is 2 times the principal here, so we can call it 2P

P is the lump-sum invested

r is the monthly interest rate given as 1.5% = 1.5/100 = 0.015

t = time , which we want to calculate

Substituting these values, we have;

2P = P(1 + 0.015)^t

divide both sides by P

2 = 1.015^t

Take the log of both sides;

log 2 = log (1.015)^t

log 2 = t log 1.015

t = log2/log1.015

t = 46.55

which is approximately 47 months

A baseball player has a batting average of 0.26. What is the probability that he has exactly 6 hits in his next 7 at bats

Answers

Answer:

0.0016

Step-by-step explanation:

Batting average, p = 0.26

n = 7

x = 6

With p = 0.26 as success rate

1-p is equal to failure rate which is = 0.74

We have to solve this by using the binomial distribution formula.

P(X= x)

= nCx * p^x * (1-p)^(n-x)

P(X = 6)

=7C6 × 0.26^6 ×(1-0.26)^(7-6)

= 7 × 0.0003089 × 0..74¹

= 0.0016

So probability that he has exactly 6 hits in his next 7 bats is equal to 0.0016.

The one-sample z ‑statistic for Thomas' statistical test has a value of −1.73346 , and Thomas calculates a P-value of 0.0830 . Should Thomas conclude that telephone surveys provide adequate coverage with respect to p ? Why or why not? Select all correct statements about his decision and conclusion.

Answers

Answer:

Thomas should not reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is rejected or accepted on the basis of level of significance. When the p-value is greater than level of significance we fail to reject the null hypothesis and null hypothesis is then accepted. It is not necessary that all null hypothesis will be rejected at 10% level of significance. To determine the criteria for accepting or rejecting a null hypothesis we should also consider p-value.  Here in this question the test value is -1.73346 and p-value is 0.0830. The p value is greater than the test value therefore the null hypothesis should be accepted.
