The starting line up for a basketball team is to consist of two forwards and three guards. Two brothers are on the team. Matthew is a forward and Tony a guard. There are four forwards and six guards from which to choose the line up. If the starting players are chosen at random, what is the probability that the two brothers will end up in the starting line up

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.25 = 25% probability that the two brothers will end up in the starting line up

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The order in which the players are chosen is not important, which means that the combinations formula is used to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

[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]

Desired outcomes:

Matthew plus another forward from a set of 3.

Tony plus another two guards from a set of 5.

So

[tex]D = C_{3,1}C_{5,2} = \frac{3!}{1!2!} \times \frac{5!}{2!3!} = 3*10 = 30[/tex]

Total outcomes:

Two forwards from a set of 4.

Three guards from a set of 6.

So

[tex]T = C_{4,2}C_{6,3} = \frac{4!}{2!2!} \times \frac{6!}{3!3!} = 6*20 = 120[/tex]

What is the probability that the two brothers will end up in the starting line up?

[tex]p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{30}{120} = 0.25[/tex]

0.25 = 25% probability that the two brothers will end up in the starting line up

Independent simple random samples are selected to test the difference between the means of two populations whose standard deviations are not known. We are unwilling to assume that the population variances are equal. The sample sizes are n1 = 25 and n2 = 35. The correct distribution to use is the:
1) t distribution with 59 degrees of freedom.
2) t distribution with 58 degrees of freedom.
3) t distribution with 61 degrees of freedom.
4) t distribution with 60 degrees of freedom.

Answers

Answer:

2) t distribution with 58 degrees of freedom.

Step-by-step explanation:

Population standard deviations not known:

This means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The sample sizes are n1 = 25 and n2 = 35.

The number of degrees of freedom is the sum of the sample sizes subtracted by the number of samples, in this case 2. So

25 + 35 - 2 = 58 df.

Thus the correct answer is given by option 2.

As part of a class project, a university student surveyed the students in the cafeteria lunch line to look for a relationship between eye color and hair color among students. The table below contains the results of the survey.

Answers

Answer: Choice B)  0.27

=========================================================

Explanation:

There are a lot of data values here, and it's possible to easily get lost in them. However, we're asked only about students with blond hair. So we only focus on the first row. Ignore everything else.

We see that there are 78 of these students total. Of this total, 21 have green eyes.

Therefore, the relative frequency of blonds with green eyes is 21/78 = 0.2692 which rounds to 0.27; so that's why the answer is choice B.

What is a combination?

A combination is an arrangement of a set of numbers from a total set where the order of the set is not relevant.

We have,

The total number of toppings = 10.

n = 10

The number of required toppings = 7.

r = 7

The formula for combination.

= [tex]^nC_r[/tex]

= n! / r! (n -r)!

The possible number of possible 7-toppings pizzas.

= [tex]^{10}C_7[/tex]

= (10 x 9 x 8) / (3 x 2)

Part B: Determine the x-intercepts. What do these values mean in the context of the problem? (5 points)

(10 points)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The way to do this so as to streamline both the vertex and finding the zeros is to complete the square. That method will provide us with the vertex, and then we can continue on to factor from that form to find the zeros. Completing the square requires us to set the quadratic equal to 0 then move over the constant, giving us

[tex]-x^2+18x=72[/tex] The leading coefficient HAS to be a positive 1; ours is negative 1 so we factor out the negative to get:

[tex]-(x^2-18x)=72[/tex] Now we're ready to complete the square.

Take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides. Our linear term is 18 (from -18x; don't worry about the negative because squaring it makes it positive anyway). Half of 18 is 9, and 9 squared is 81.

BUT on the left we have that -1 sitting out front that refuses to be ignored. What we actually added on to the left side, inside the parenthesis, is -1(81) which is -81.   -81 is what we add to the right since that turns out to be what we added to the left:

[tex]-(x^2-18x+81)=72-81[/tex] and we clean that up.

The reason we complete the square is because when we simplify the left side, we end up with a perfect square binomial found from taking the square root of x-squared, the first sign we come to, then the square root of 81:

[tex]-(x-9)^2=-9[/tex].  Move the constant back over to get

[tex]-(x-9)^2+9=y[/tex] telling us that the vertex is (9, 9). In the context of the problem that means that the gym sells on average 9 memberships a day and the profit it makes on average per day is $9.

To factor, we will go back one step to

[tex]-(x-9)^2=-9[/tex] and begin by dividing both sides by -1 to get

[tex](x-9)^2=9[/tex] and undo the squaring by taking the square root of both sides to get

x - 9 = ±3 so

x = 9 + 3 and

x = 9 - 3 so

x = 6 and 12

Those are the zeros. This means that if they sell either 6 or 12 memberships they have a 0 profit. That may sound strange, but in business it does often work like that...selling too many of something makes your company lose money (this is often due to the cost required by you to produce or manufacture the product).

Hi there!

We can use long division to find the other roots of p(x).

Set up:

Find how many times that the first term in the divisor goes into the first of the dividend. Subtract from like terms.

         x² - x - 6

         0 - x²     - 7x

             0        - 6x - 6

                        -6x - 6

Canada has a population of 33 million while Russia has 144 million inhabitants. Indonesia population is 50% greater then that of Russia while it is only 72% of the population of the United States. How many million people must be added to the United States so that the population of that country becomes 10 times of Canada?

Answers

Answer: 30 million people must be added.

Step-by-step explanation: 50% of 144 million is 72 million. You add these to find Indonesia’s population. 144 million + 72 million= 216 million. If 216 million is only 72% of the US population, then divide 216 million by 72 to find 1%. 216 million/72=3 million. Multiply this by 100 to find the US population. 3 million times 100= 300 million. Now, multiply Canada’s population by 10. 33 million times 10= 330 million. Finally, subtract 300 million from 330 million to find the amount needed to make the US population 10 times that of Canada’s. 330 million-300 million=30 million. So , you need 30 million people in order to make the US population 10 times that of Canada’s.

What is a polynomial?

A polynomial expression is an algebraic expression with variables and coefficients. Unknown variables are what they're termed. We can use addition, subtraction, and other mathematical operations. However, a variable is not divisible.

The expression is given below.

8x³ + 1 and 8x³ - 1³

(2x)³ + 1³ and (2x)³ - 1³

We know that the formula is given as,

a³ + b³ = (a + b) (a² – ab + b²)

a³ – b³ = (a – b) (a² + ab + b²)

Then the expression is written as,

(2x)³ + 1³ = (2x + 1) [(2x)² – 2x + 1²]

(2x)³ + 1³ = (2x + 1) (4x² – 2x + 1)

(2x)³ – 1³ = (2x – 1) [(2x)² + 2x + 1²]

(2x)³ – 1³ = (2x – 1) (4x² + 2x + 1)

The factors of the expression 8x³ + 1 and 8x³ - 1³ will be (2x + 1) & (4x² – 2x + 1) and (2x – 1) & (4x² + 2x + 1), respectively.
