Answer:
0.0105 = 1.05% probability that no more than 3 of the entry forms will include an order.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each entry form, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it includes an order, or it does not. The probability of an entry including an order is independent of any other entry, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [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]
And p is the probability of X happening.
The Magazine Mass Marketing Company has received 16 entries in its latest sweepstakes.
This means that [tex]n = 16[/tex]
They know that the probability of receiving a magazine subscription order with an entry form is 0.5.
This means that [tex]p = 0.5[/tex]
What is the probability that no more than 3 of the entry forms will include an order?
At most 3 including an order, which is:
[tex]P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{16,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{16} \approx 0[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{16,1}.(0.5)^{1}.(0.5)^{15} = 0.0002[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{16,2}.(0.5)^{2}.(0.5)^{14} = 0.0018[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{16,3}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{13} = 0.0085[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0 + 0.0002 + 0.0018 + 0.0085 = 0.0105[/tex]
0.0105 = 1.05% probability that no more than 3 of the entry forms will include an order.

Martina has 240 meters of fencing and wishes to form three sides of a rectangular field. The fourth side borders a river and will not need fencing.
As shown below, one of the sides has length x (in meters).
x
Side along river
(a) Find a function that gives the area Ax of the field (in square meters) in terms of x.
=Ax
(b) What side length x gives the maximum area that the field can have?
Side lengthx:meters
(c) What is the maximum area that the field can have?
Maximum area:square meters
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answering a comes from simplification, and answering b and c are done all in one step: completing the square on the quadratic that results from a.
(a) If Martina has 240 m of fencing and is only utilizing one side for the length and 2 sides for the width, the perimeter formula is
240 = x + 2w where x is a length and w is the width. Solving this for w in terms of x:
240 - x = 2w so
[tex]w=120-.5x[/tex] The area for a rectangle is L * W, so our area using the lengths we have is
A(x) = x(120 - .5x) and we simplify:
A(x) = 120x - .5x² That's the answer to a.
Now for b and c, we will complete the square on this to get the vertex.
Begin by factoring out the -.5:
[tex]A(x)=-.5(x^2-240x)[/tex] Now we take half the linear term, square it and add it both inside the parenthesis and outside the parenthesis. Our linear term is 240. Half of 240 is 120, and 120 squared is 14400:
[tex]A(x)=-.5(x^2-240x+14400)+7200[/tex] (The 7200 comes from multiplying the 14400 times the -.5; -.5 times 14400 is -7200 so to balance things out, we have to add 7200).
The perfect square binomial that results from this is
A(x) = -.5(x - 120)² + 7200. From this we determine that our vertex is
(120, 7200). The 120 is the value of x, the length we are asked to find in b; the 7200 is the max area we are asked to find in c.
The required solutions are,,
(a) area = 240x - 2x²
(b) the side adjacent to the rivers gives the maximum length of the field.
(c) the maximum area could be 6400-meter square.
The process in mathematics to operate and interpret the function to make the function or expression simple or more understandable is called simplifying and the process is called simplification.
Here,
length of the field is x,
The perimeter of the field, = 240
x + x + width = 240
width = 240 - 2x
now,
(a)
area of the field,
= length * width,
= x(240-2x)
= 240x - 2x²
Similarly,
(b) the side adjacent to the rivers gives the maximum area of the field.
(c) the maximum area could be 6400-meter square.
Thus, the required solutions are mentioned above.

One positive number is 2 more than twice another. Their product is 180.
Step 2 of 2 : Find the numbers by solving the equation.
Answer:
9 and 20
Step-by-step explanation:
x = one number
y = 2x+2 = other number
xy = 190
x(2x+2) = 180
2x^2 +2x = 180
2x^2 +2x- 180 = 0
Factor out 2
x^2 +x -90 = 0
(x+10)(x-9) =0
Using the zero product property
x+10 = 0 x-9=0
x= -10 x=9
But they have to be positive
x = 9
y = 2x+2 = 2(9)+2 = 18+2 = 20

When f(x) =-3 what is x?
Answer:
D or -1
Step-by-step explanation:
It says that f(x) is equal to -3.
f(x) is the same as y-values, and x is the same as the x-values on a coordinate grid because x is the independent variable, meaning y is the dependent variable, where f(x) depends on the value of x to find y.
So if y is -3, it can be found on the graph on the 4th line, so x = -1 when y = -3
An F test for the two coefficients of promotional expenditures and district potential is performed. The hypotheses are H0: 1 = 4 = 0 versus Ha: at least one of the j is not 0. The F statistic for this test is 1.482 with 2 and 21 degrees of freedom. What can we say about the P-value for this test?
Answer:
Pvalue > 0.10
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the hypothesis :
H0 : β1 = β4 = 0
H1 : Atleast one of βj is not 0
F statistic = 1.482 ;
Degree of freedom = 2 and 21 ;
DFnumerator = 2
DFdenominator = 21
Using the Pvalue calculator from Fstatistic ;
Pvalue(1.482, 2, 21) = 0.24999 = 0.25
Hence, Pvalue for the test is 0.25
Pvalue > 0.10
Zoe earns 22.50 per hour plus 3% commission on sales. last week she worked 34 hours and made sales totalling 15280. Calculate her pay for the week.
Answer: $1,223.40.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since she earns $22.5 per hour, for 34 hours, she would earn:
$22.5 × 34 = $765
She earn 3% of her sales, therefore find 3% of $15,280:
$15280(3%) = $15280(0.03) = $458.4
Add them together:
$765 + $458.4 = $1223.4
9514 1404 393
Answer:
$1,223.40
Step-by-step explanation:
Zoe's total pay is the sum of the products of hours and hourly rate, and sales and commission rate.
Pay = (34 h)($22.50/h) +($15,280)(.03) = $765.00 +458.40
Pay = $1,223.40
Zoe's pay for the week is $1,223.40.

b. What's the Expected probability of finding males with 4 or more accidents?
Answer:
0.2725
0.0431
Step-by-step explanation:
The distribution here is a poisson distribution :
λ = 1.3
The poisson distribution :
p(x) = [(e^-λ * λ^x)] ÷ x!
Expected probability of finding male with 0 accident ; x = 0
p(0) = [(e^-1.3 * 1.3^0)] ÷ 0!
p(0) = [0.2725317 * 1] ÷ 1
p(0) = 0.2725317
= 0.2725
2.)
P(x ≥ 4) = 1 - P(x < 4)
P(x < 4) = p(x = 0) + p(x. = 1) + p(x = 2) + p(x = 3)
p(x = 0) = p(0) = [(e^-1.3 * 1.3^0)] ÷ 0! = 0.2725
p(x = 1) = p(1) = [(e^-1.3 * 1.3^1)] ÷ 1! = 0.35429
p(x = 2) = p(2) = [(e^-1.3 * 1.3^2)] ÷ 2! = 0.23029 p(x = 3) = p(3) = [(e^-1.3 * 1.3^3)] ÷ 0! = 0.09979
P(x < 4) = 0.2725 + 0.35429 + 0.23029 + 0.09979 = 0.95687
P(x ≥ 4) = 1 - 0.95687 = 0.0431

Answer:
√5 +√6
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the square of a binomial is ...
(a +b)^2 = a^2 +2ab +b^2
Then the square root of it is ...
a + b = √(a^2 +b^2 +2ab)
Using a=√x and b=√y, this is ...
√x +√y = √(x + y + 2√(xy))

Ivan caught a total of 7 2/5 pounds of fish one day. Of the fish caught, 4 5/8 pounds were sea bass and the rest were mackerel. He gave away 1 7/8 pounds of mackerel. How many pounds of mackerel did he have left.
Given:
Total fish (Sea bass and mackerel) = [tex]7\dfrac{2}{5}[/tex] pounds
Sea bass = [tex]4\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex] pounds
He gave away [tex]1\dfrac{7}{8}[/tex] pounds of mackerel.
To find:
The remaining mackerel.
Solution:
We know that,
Mackerel = Total fish - Sea bass
[tex]\text{Mackerel}=7\dfrac{2}{5}-4\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Mackerel}=\dfrac{37}{5}-\dfrac{37}{8}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Mackerel}=\dfrac{296-185}{40}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Mackerel}=\dfrac{111}{40}[/tex]
He gave away [tex]1\dfrac{7}{8}[/tex] pounds of mackerel. So, the remaining mackerel is:
[tex]\text{Remaining Mackerel}=\dfrac{111}{40}-1\dfrac{7}{8}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Remaining Mackerel}=\dfrac{111}{40}-\dfrac{15}{8}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Remaining Mackerel}=\dfrac{111-75}{40}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Remaining Mackerel}=\dfrac{36}{40}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Remaining Mackerel}=\dfrac{9}{10}[/tex]
Therefore, the remaining Mackerel is [tex]\dfrac{9}{10}[/tex] pounds or 0.9 pounds.
Answer:
The amount of Mackerel left is 9/10.
Step-by-step explanation:
total fish = 7 2/5 pounds
sea bass = 4 5/8
The amount of mackerel =
[tex]7\frac{2}{5}-4\frac{5}{8}\\\\=\frac{37}{5}-\frac{37}{8}\\\\=\frac{296-185}{40}\\\\=2 \frac{31}{40}[/tex]
Mackerel left =
[tex]2 \frac{31}{40}-1\frac{7}{8}\\\\= \frac{111}{40}-\frac{15}{8}\\\\=\frac{111-75}{40}\\\\=\frac{36}{40}\\\\=\frac{9}{10}[/tex]

Manatees can swim in water up to 20 feet deep. Write an expression that represents the depth d, that a manatee can swim
Answer:
0 ≤ d ≤ 20
Step-by-step explanation:
You mention that Manatees can swim in water up to 20 feet deep. So, this means that the largest depth that he can swim is 20 feet, not more than this. Also, keep in mind that the depth can't be negative, so ----> 0 ≤ d ≤ 20 feet
We want to write an expression (an inequality actually) that defines the depth at which a manatee can swim. The inequality is: 0ft ≤ d ≤ 20ft.
We know that the manatees can swim in water up to 20 feet deep. This represents the maximum deep at which manatees can swim, the minimum is trivial, it would be 0ft (when the manatees are on the surface of the water).
Then we can write the inequality:
0ft ≤ d ≤ 20ft.
This gives the range of possible values of d, depth at which the manatee can swim.

(i) Write the technology matrix for this economy. [2 marks]
(ii) If surpluses of 5 units of agricultural products and 195 units of textiles are desired, find the gross production of each industry
Leontief input output model (technology matrix) is an economic model that shows the quantitative relationship and sectorial interdependency in a national economy
The responses with regards to the question are;
(i) The technology matrix for the economy is presented as follows;
[tex]\mathbf{ A} =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}Agric&&Textile\\0.4&&0.1\\&&\\0.1&&0.2\end{array}\right] \begin{array}{ccc}\mathbf{Per \ Unit}\\Agriculture\\\\Textile\end{array}\right][/tex]
(ii) The required gross production of each industry to meet the desired surplus are;
50 units of agriculture and 250 units of textile
The reason the above values are correct is as follows:
(i) The given parameters are;
The industries in the economy = Agricultural industry and textile industry
Units of agricultural input required per unit of agricultural output = 0.4
Units of textile input required per unit of agricultural output = 0.1
Units of agricultural input required per unit of textile output = 0.1
Units of textile input required per unit of textile output = 0.2
Let X represent agriculture, and let Y represent textile, we have;
[tex]Agric \ for \ agric = \dfrac{0.4 \ units \ of \ agriculture}{1\ unit \ of \ agric \ produced} \times X \ Agric \ produced= 0.4 \cdot X[/tex]
[tex]Agric \ for \ textile = \dfrac{0.1 \ units \ of \ agriculture}{1\ unit \ of \ textile \ produced} \times Y \ textile \ produced= 0.1 \cdot Y[/tex]
We also have;
Textile for agriculture = 0.1·X
Textile for textile = 0.2·Y
Therefore;
X = 0.4·X + 0.1·Y
Y = 0.1·X + 0.2·Y
Therefore;
The technology matrix for the economy is presented as follows;
[tex]\mathbf{Technology \ matrix, A} =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}Agric&&Textile\\0.4&&0.1\\&&\\0.1&&0.2\end{array}\right] \begin{array}{ccc}\mathbf{Per \ Unit}\\Agriculture\\\\Textile\end{array}\right][/tex]
(ii) Let P represent the production vector, and let d represent the demand vector, we have;
[tex]P = \left[\begin{array}{c}X \\Y\end{array}\right][/tex], [tex]d = \left[\begin{array}{c}5 \\195\end{array}\right][/tex]
P = A·P + d
∴ P - A·P = d
Therefore;
[tex]P = \mathbf{ \dfrac{d}{(I - A)}}[/tex]
Where I = The 2 by 2 identity matrix
We get;
[tex]I - A =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&&0\\&&\\0&&1\end{array}\right] - \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.4&&0.1\\&&\\0.1&&0.2\end{array}\right] = \mathbf{\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.6&&-0.1\\&&\\-0.1&&0.8\end{array}\right]}[/tex]
With the use of a graphing calculator, we have;

Add the first 12 terms of this sequence:
15, 45, 135, 405, 1215, ...
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a₁ = 15
a₂/a₁ = 45/15 = 3
a₃/a₂ = 135/45 = 3
...
It is a geometric sequence with a common ratio r=3.
Sum of first 12 terms = a₁·(1-r¹²)/(1-r)
= 15·(1-3¹²)/(1-3)
= 15·(-531,441)/(-2)
= 3,985,800

Can you please help me
Answer: 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
4/9 and 11/18
Solve:
STEP ONE: Make the denominators equal by determining the LCM
LCM = Least Common Multiple
First Five multiples of 9 = 9, 18, 27, 36, 45
First FIve multiples of 18 = 18, 36, 54, 72, 90
As we can see from the list above, both 18 and 36 overlap, however, 18 is less than 36. Therefore, 18 is the LCM.
STEP TWO: Compare the size and determine the greater one.
4/9 = (4 × 2) / (9 × 2) = 8/18
11/18 = 11/18
Since 11 > 8, therefore, 11/18 is greater than 8/18
STEP THREE: Find the difference between the two fractions.
11/18 - 4/9
=11/18 - 8/18
=(11 - 8) / 18
= 3 / 18
= 1/6
Hope this helps!! :)
