Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

x = 5y = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

First differences are ...

  x -4, 8 -x, y -8, 20 -y

Then second differences are ...

  (8 -x) -(x -4)

  (y -8) -(8 -x)

  (20 -y) -(y -8)

Each of these is said to be 2, so we have ...

  12 -2x = 2   ⇒   x = 5

  28 -2y = 2   ⇒   y = 13

And an equation we can use to check:

  x +y -16 = 2   ⇒   5 +13 -16 = 2 . . . . true

_____

The explicit formula for the sequence is ...

  an = n^2 -2n +5

Assume that a population is normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. Would it be unusual for the mean of a sample of 3 to be 115 or more? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer:

|Z| < 2, which means that it would not be unusual for the mean of a sample of 3 to be 115 or more.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

If [tex]|Z| > 2[/tex], the value of X is considered to be unusual.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Assume that a population is normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.

This means that [tex]\mu = 100, \sigma = 15[/tex]

Sample of 3

This means that [tex]n = 3, s = \frac{15}{\sqrt{3}}[/tex]

Would it be unusual for the mean of a sample of 3 to be 115 or more? Why or why not?

We have to find the z-score.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{115 - 100}{\frac{15}{\sqrt{3}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.73[/tex]

|Z| < 2, which means that it would not be unusual for the mean of a sample of 3 to be 115 or more.

The Rockwell hardness of a metal is determined by impressing a hardened point into the surface of the metal and then measuring the depth of penetration of the point. Suppose the Rockwell hardness of a particular alloy is normally distributed with mean 70 and standard deviation 3. (Rockwell hardness is measured on a continuous scale.)a. If a specimen is acceptable only if its hardness is between 67 and 75, what is the probability that a randomly chosen specimen has an acceptable hardness?b. If the acceptable range of hardness is (70-c, 70+c) , for what value of c would 95% of all specimens have acceptable hardness?c. If the acceptable range is as in part (a) and the hardness of each of ten randomly selected specimens is independently determined, what is the expected number of acceptable specimens among the ten?d. What is the probability that at most eight of ten independently selected specimens have a hardness of less than73.84? [Hint: Y = the number among the ten specimens with hardness less than 73.84 is a binomial variable; what is p?]

Answers

Answer:

a) The probability that a randomly chosen specimen has an acceptable hardness is 0.7938.

b) If the acceptable range of hardness is (70-c, 70+c), then the value of c would 95% of all specimens have an acceptable hardness of 5.88.

c) Expected number of acceptable specimens among the ten is 7.938.

d) Binomial with n = 10 and p = P(X < 73.84)

[tex]p = P(Z <(73.84 - 70) / 3 ) = P(Z < 1.28) = 0.8997\\\\P(X <= 8) = 1 - P(X = 9) - P(X = 10)\\= 0.2650635[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

a )

[tex]P(67 < X< 75) = P( (67 - 70) / 3 < X < (75 - 70) / 3 )\\\\= P( - 1 < Z < 1.67) = 0.9525 - 0.1587 = 0.7938[/tex]

b )

[tex]c = 1.96 * 3 = 5.88[/tex]                    { Since Z = 1.96 for 95% CI refer table.}

c )

Expected number of acceptable specimens among the ten [tex]= 10 * P(67 < X< 75) \\\\= 10 * 0.7938 = 7.938[/tex]

d )

Binomial with n = 10 and p = P(X < 73.84)

[tex]p = P(Z <(73.84 - 70) / 3 ) = P(Z < 1.28) = 0.8997\\\\P(X <= 8) = 1 - P(X = 9) - P(X = 10)\\= 0.2650635[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

The equation of the new function is [tex]g(x) = 7x + 9[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertically compress by a factor of 7.

Vertically compressing a function by a units is the same as:

[tex]g(x) = f(ax)[/tex]

In this question:

[tex]f(x) = x, a = 7[/tex]. So

[tex]g(x) = f(7x) = 7x[/tex]

Shift up 9 units.

Shifting a function up a units is the same thing as adding a to the function. In this case, [tex]a = 9[/tex], and then:

[tex]g(x) = 7x + 9[/tex]

The equation of the new function is [tex]g(x) = 7x + 9[/tex]

Hey there! The topic for this problem is Limit of Function!

As for the question, we are given the quadratic function and we have to find the limit, the value that approaches to a.

[tex] \large \boxed{lim_{x \longrightarrow a} f(x)}[/tex]

We call this, "The limit of f(x) when x approaches a."

Then you may ask, "How do we find the limit of function?". That is a very nice question! The answer to your problem is just substitute x-value in. Although this substitution method only applies when the approaching value doesn't make the denominator to 0. I believe that in the beginning of Limit topic, we learn how to find or evaluate the basic limit that only requires substitution.

So from the question, we receive:

[tex] \large{lim_{x \longrightarrow 2} ( {x}^{2} - 3x - 1)}[/tex]

Next step is to substitute x = 2 in the function.

[tex] \large{lim_{x \longrightarrow 2} ( {2}^{2} - 3(2) - 1)}[/tex]

Evaluate the value.

[tex] \large{lim_{x \longrightarrow 2} ( 4 - 6 - 1)} \\ \large{lim_{x \longrightarrow 2} ( - 3)}[/tex]

Cancel the limit out and there you have it!

[tex] \large \boxed{ - 3}[/tex]

Answer

The limit of quadratic function when x approaches 2 is -3.

Now whenever you learn limit, you must know that limit is when we substitute the approaching value. That means x —> 2 is not x = 2 but x approaches 2.

Regarding the limit, any questions and doubts can be asked through comment and I will get back to you soon!

Answer: The coefficient before x^4 is 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey! So I am not an expert at this, but you have to use the binomial theorem

I have attached of the Pascals Triangle (one shows the row numbering as well)

Basically in a pascal triangle, you add the two numbers above it to get the next number below

As you can see, the rows start from 0 instead of 1

The 6th row contains the numbers 1, 6, 15, 20, 15, 6, 1 which would be the coefficient terms

NOTE: the exponents always add to 6, the first term starts at 6 and decrease it's exponent by 1 each time (6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0) and the second term increases it's exponent by 1 each time (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

Using this information the third term from the sixth row (15) would be where it is x^4 (I have circled it on the second image)

It would be 15 × 2^4 × (1/2)^2 = 60

The reason why it is 2^4 and (1/2)^2 is because the third term has the exponents 4 and 2 (bolded on the NOTE) which means that the first term must be put to the power of 4 and the second term must be put to the 2nd power

Sorry for the lousy explanation. I really hope this makes sense! Let me know if this helped :)

What is exponential function?

As the name suggests, the exponential function contains an exponent. Note, however, that the exponential function has a constant as its base and a variable as its exponent, not vice versa (if a function has a variable as its base and a constant as its exponent, it is a power function). The exponential function can be in one of the following forms:

Definition of exponential function

In mathematics, an exponential function is a function of the form f(x) = aˣ. where "x" is a variable and "a" is a constant  called the base of the function, which must be greater than 0.

Given, exponential function

f(x) = (1/4)4ˣ

exponential function is defined for x∈R

Putting x = 0

f(0) = (1/4)4⁰

f(0) = 1/4

Point on curve is (0,1/4)

Putting x = 1

f(1) = (1/4)4¹

f(1) = (1/4)4

f(1) = 1

Point on curve is (1,1)

Putting x = 2

f(2) = (1/4)4²

f(2) = (1/4)16

f(2) = 4

Point on curve is (2,4)

Putting x = 3

f(3) = (1/4)4³

f(3) = (1/4)64

f(3) = 16

Point on curve is (3,16)

Point (0, 1/4), (1, 1), (2, 4), (3, 16) can be used to draw graph of the function.

Hence, graph of the function is drawn as follows.

Three bags contain 3 red, 7 black; 8 red, 2 black, and 4 red & 6 black balls
respectively. 1 of the bags is selected at random and a ball is drawn from it. If the ball
drawn is red, find the probability that it is drawn from the third bag.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Probability = \frac{4}{15}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

B1 = first bag

B2= second bag

B3 = third bag

Let A = ball drawn is red

Since, there are three bags.

Probability of choosing one bag=  P(B1) = P(B2) = P(B3) = 1/3.

From B1: Total balls = 10

3 red + 7 black balls.

Probability of drawing 1 red ball from it , P(A) = 3/10.

From B2: Total balls = 10

8 red + 2 black

Probability of drawing 1 red ball is, P(A) = 8/10

From B3 : Total Balls = 10

4 red + 6 black

Probability of drawing 1 red ball, P(A) = 4/10 .

To find Probability given that the ball drawn is red, that the ball is drawn from the third bag by Bayes' rule.

That is , P(B3|A)

                     [tex]=\frac{\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{4}{10}} { \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{3}{10} + \frac{1}{3} \times\frac{8}{10} + \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{4}{10}}[/tex]

   

                    [tex]=\frac{4}{30} \times \frac{30}{15}\\\\=\frac{4}{15}[/tex]

Therefore, the probability that it is drawn from the third bag is 4/15.

Answer:

4/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution of conditional probability problem:

Given:

Bags (3R,7B), (8R,2B), (4R,6B)

Let

P(R,i) = probability of drawing a red AND from bag i

P(R, 1) = 3/10 * (1/3) = 3/30

P(R, 2) = 8/10 * (1/3) = 8/30

P(R, 3) = 4/10 * (1/3) = 4/30

Let

Let P(R) = probability of drawing a red from any bag

P(R) = sum P(R,i)  for i = 1 to 3   using the addition rule

= 3/30 + 8/30 + 4/30

= 15/30

= 1 / 2

Conditional Probability of drawing from the third bag GIVEN that it is a red

= P(3 | R)

= P(R, 3) / P(R)

= 4/30 / (1/2)

= 8/30

= 4 / 15

(Since all bags contain 10 balls, by intuition, 4 red from third / 15 total red = 4/15)

The table is 120 cm tall

The values of variables, such as the height of the table can be found by writing equations of their relationships

The height of the table is 105 cm

The reason the above height value is correct is as follows;

Known parameters:

The diagram shows a table, a cat and a mice

Let x, represent the height of the table, let y represent the height of the cat, and let z represent the height of the mice

From the given diagram, we have;

Height of the table + Height of the cat - Height of the mice  = 120 cm

x + y - z = 120...(1)

Height of the table + Height of the mice - Height of the cat   = 90 cm

x + z - y = 90...(2)

Adding equation (1) to equation (2) gives;

x + y - z + (x + z - y) = 120 + 90 = 210

x + y - z + (x + z - y) = 210

However;

x + y - z + (x + z - y) = x + x + y - y - z + z = 2·x

∴ x + y - z + (x + z - y) = 2·x = 210

x = 210/2 = 105

Systematic sampling is a type of probability sampling in which members of a larger population are chosen at random from a larger population but at a fixed, periodic interval. This interval, also known as the sampling interval, is calculated by dividing the population size by the sample size desired. Despite the fact that the sample population is chosen in advance, systematic sampling is still considered random if the periodic interval is set in advance and the starting point is chosen at random.
