The Census Bureau says that the 10 most common surnames in the United States are, in order, Smith, Johnson, Williams, Brown, Jones, Miller, Davis, Garcia, Rodriguez, and Wilson. These names account for 9.6% of all U.S. residents. Suppose you look at the authors of the textbooks for your current courses and find that there are 8 authors in total. What is the probability that none of the 8 surnames of these authors were among the 10 most common

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.4460 = 44.60% probability that none of the 8 surnames of these authors were among the 10 most common

Step-by-step explanation:

For each surname, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are among the 10 most common, or they are not. Each author is independent of each other. So we use the binomial probability distribution 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.

These names account for 9.6% of all U.S. residents.

This means that [tex]p = 0.096[/tex]

8 authors in total.

This means that [tex]n = 8[/tex]

What is the probability that none of the 8 surnames of these authors were among the 10 most common

This is [tex]P(X = 0)[/tex]. So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{8,0}.(0.096)^{0}.(0.904)^{8} = 0.4460[/tex]

0.4460 = 44.60% probability that none of the 8 surnames of these authors were among the 10 most common

2x+2+2x-17=180 what's x?

Answers

Answer:

x= 48.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Add like terms

2x+2x and

2-17

4x-15=180

Now subtract -15 to both sides get x by itself

4x-15+15=180+15

4x=195

Now divide by four to each side to get x by itself again

4x/4 = 195/4

x=48.75

Answer:

x=48.75

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+2+2x-17=180(Group like terms)

2x+2x+2-17=180

4x-15=180(Add 15 on both sides)

4x-15+15=180+15

4x=195(Divide both sides by 4 to find the value of x)

x=48.75

What is the slope-intercept equation for the following line? I need help answering​

Answers

Answer:

y = -4x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The b in the slope-intercept equation represents the y-intercept.

The line crosses the y-axis at (0,-3). Therefore, b = -3.

Since the line is decreasing from left to right, the slope will be negative.

From (0,-3) to the next point on the line is down 4 units and to the right 1 unit.

The slope will be -4/1 or -4.

Therefore, the equation of the line will be y = -4x - 3.

Hope that helps.

I need help with this word problem please

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is,

f(x) = [tex]x\sqrt{x}[/tex]

We can rewrite this function as,

f(x) = [tex]x^{\frac{3}{2}}[/tex]

a). Domain of the function is [0, ∞)

Derivative of the function in this domain,

f'(x) = [tex]\frac{3}{2}x^{(\frac{3}{2}-1)}[/tex]

     = [tex]\frac{3}{2}x^{\frac{1}{2}}[/tex]

Since, f'(x) > 0 in the interval [0, ∞)

Function is increasing in the interval [0, ∞)

b). For local maxima and local minima,

  Second derivative of the function,

  f"(x) = [tex]\frac{3}{2}(\frac{1}{2})x^{\frac{1}{2}-1}[/tex]

         = [tex]\frac{3}{4}x^{-\frac{1}{2}}[/tex]  > 0

   So the function should have a local minima.

   But the function is continuous in the interval x ≥ 0,

   There is no local minima (only absolute minima).

c). Since, second derivative is undefined at x = 0,

   There are no inflection points.

d). Since, f"(x) > 0 in the interval [0, ∞)

   Concavity of the curve is UPWARDS.

Y is inversely proportional to x, when Y = 7, x = 4.
True or False: the constant of proportionality, k, is 20.

Answers

Answer:

The given statement  Y = 7, x = 4 is False.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Y is inversely proportional to x, when Y = 7, x = 4.

We need to tell if the statement is True or False: the constant of proportionality, k, is 20.

Y is inversely proportional to x

We can write it as: [tex]y\:\alpha \:\frac{1}{x}\\y=\frac{k}{x}[/tex]

Now, we need to check when Y=7, x = 4 is true or false

We are given k = 20

Now, I can find value of y, by putting values of k and x in the equation:

[tex]y=\frac{k}{x}\\y=\frac{20}{4}\\y=5[/tex]

When we put x = 4, and k =20, we get Y=5 and not Y=7

So, The given statement  Y = 7, x = 4 is False.

Hello!

[tex]\large\boxed{\frac{\pi }{4} < x < \frac{5\pi }{4}}[/tex]

To begin, we can solve the inequality:

sin(x) > cos(x)

Divide both sides by cos(x):

sin(x) / cos(x) > 1

tan(x) > 1

x > π/4

However, we can also solve it the other way to produce the end to the interval:

sin(x) > cos(x)

1 > cot(x)

x < 5π/4

Therefore, sin(x) > cos(x) on the interval π/4 < x < 5π/4.

Answer:

π/4 < x < 5π/4.
