When do creative people get their best ideas? USA Today did a survey of 966 inventors (who hold U.S. patents) and obtained the following information.

Time of Day When Best Ideas Occur
Time Number of Inventors
6 A.M.-12 noon 271
12 noon-6 P.M. 123
6 P.M.-12 midnight 327
12 midnight-6 A.M. 245

Required:
a. Assuming that the time interval includes the left limit and all the times up to but not including the right limit, estimate the probability that an inventor has a best idea during each time interval: from 6 A.M. to 12 noon, from 12 noon to 6 P.M., from 6 P.M. to 12 midnight, from 12 midnight to 6 A.M.
b. Do the probabilities add up to 1? Why should they?

Answer:

PT = 12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

PT=3x+3 and TQ=6x-6

T is the midpoint of PQ.

If T is mindpoint of PQ, it means,

PT = TQ

Substitute all the values,

3x+3 = 6x-6

Taking like terms together,

3x-6x = -6-3

-3x = -9

x = 3

So,

PT = 3x+3

= 3(3) + 3

= 9+3

= 12

So, the value of PT is equal to 12 units.

Answer:

The solution set to the absolute value is:

[tex]S = \{x \in \mathbb{R}| x \ge 0\}[/tex] or [tex]S = [0, +\infty)[/tex]

Negative real numbers are not included in the solution set, as for [tex]x < 0[/tex], [tex]|x| = - x[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

From Mathematics, we know that absolute values are defined by the following characteristics:

1) For [tex]x \ge 0[/tex], [tex]|x| = x[/tex]

2) For [tex]x < 0[/tex], [tex]|x| = - x[/tex]

Then, if [tex]|x| = x[/tex], then the solution set to the absolute value is:

[tex]S = \{x \in \mathbb{R}| x \ge 0\}[/tex] or [tex]S = [0, +\infty)[/tex]

Negative real numbers are not included in the solution set, as for [tex]x < 0[/tex], [tex]|x| = - x[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the right angled triangle :

Opposite side = 16

Adjacent side = 7

Using trigonometric relation :

Tan θ = opposite / Adjacent

Tan x = (16/7)

x = tan^-1(16/7)

Answer:

0.0923 = 9.23% probability that four of the patients are still alive after five years.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each patient, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are still alive after five years, or they are not. The probability of a patient being alive is independent of any other patient, 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.

Po is an oncologist with seven patients in their care.

This means that [tex]n = 7[/tex]

The probability that a patient will survive five years after being diagnosed with stage three breast cancer is 0.82.

This means that [tex]p = 0.82[/tex]

What is the probability that four of the patients are still alive after five years?

This is P(X = 4). So

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

[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{7,4}.(0.82)^{4}.(0.18)^{3} = 0.0923[/tex]

0.0923 = 9.23% probability that four of the patients are still alive after five years.

Answer:

To find your distance apart, you can convert 15 minutes to seconds because that is what the rate is given in.

15 mins x 60 seconds = 900 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 900 seconds, there are 900/8=112.5 groups of 8 seconds. This means there are 112.5 groups of 108 feet.

112.5 x 108 = 12150 feet

12150 feet/5280 feet is approximately 2.3 miles.

For your friend you take 900/6 = 150 groups of 6 seconds.

150 x 63 = 9540 feet

9540 feet/5280 feet = 1.79 miles

1.79 miles + 2.3 miles = 2.09 miles

You and your friend are about 2.09 miles apart after 15 minutes.

B). If you go 2.3 miles every 15 minutes, that means you travel about 0.77 miles every 5 minutes. If you travel 20 more minutes (40-15-5) that would be 0.77x 4=3.07 miles more

3.07 + 2.3 = 5.37 miles after 40 minutes (you).

Your friend travels 1.79 in 15 minutes, so 1.79/3 = 0.6 miles every 5 minutes

0.6 x 5 (5 x 5 = 25 minutes)= 3 miles

1.79 + 3 miles= 4.79 miles (friend)

4.79 + 5.37 = 10.16 miles

You and your friend are about 10.16 miles apart after 40 minutes.

(x-4)^2 + (y-4)^2 = 49

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle is given by

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2  where ( h,k) is the center and r is the radius

(x-4)^2 + (y-4)^2 = 7^2

(x-4)^2 + (y-4)^2 = 49

Answer:

The area of a given rectangle is 216 square inches.

Given that, the perimeter of the rectangle is 84 inches.

We need to find the area of a rectangle.

The perimeter of a rectangle is the total distance of its outer boundary. It is twice the sum of its length and width and it is calculated with the help of the formula: Perimeter = 2(length + width).

Let the width of a rectangle be x.

Given, that the length of a rectangle is six times its width. So, length=6x.

Now, 84=2(6x+x)

⇒14x=84

⇒x=6 inches

Then, length=6x=36 inches.

Area of a rectangle= Length×width=36×6=216 square inches

Therefore, the area of a given rectangle is 216 square inches.

Answer:

A. -1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of 7/8 and -4/21 is a.- 1/6.

In mathematics, a product is the result of multiplication, or an expression that identifies factors to be multiplied.

Now the given numbers are,

7/8 and -4/21

now taking 7/8 and since 8= 4*2

so, 7/8 = 7/(4*2)

Again taking -4/28 and since 28 = 7*4

so, -4/21 = -4/(7*3)

hence the product of 7/8 and -4/21 is given as,

7/8*(-4/21) = 7/(4*2) x -4/(7*3)

taking alike terms together we get,

7/8*(-4/28) = (7/7)(4/4)(-1/2*3)

⇒ 7/8*(-4/28) = -1/6

Hence the correct option is a.-1/6

Therefore,The product of 7/8 and -4/21 is a.- 1/6.

Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to use the Squeeze Theorem to show that:

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 0}\left(x^2\sin\left(\frac{2}{x}\right)\right)=0[/tex]

Recall that according to the Squeeze Theorem, if:

[tex]\displaystyle g(x)\leq f(x) \leq h(x)[/tex]

And:

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x\to c}g(x) =\lim_{x\to c}h(x) = L[/tex]

Then:

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x\to c}f(x)=L[/tex]

Recall that the value of sine is always ≥ -1 and ≤ 1. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle -1 \leq \sin\left(\frac{2}{x}\right) \leq 1[/tex]

We can multiply both sides by x². Since this value is always positive, we do not need to change the signs. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle -x^2\leq x^2\sin\left(\frac{2}{x}\right)\leq x^2[/tex]

Let g = -x², h = x², and f = x²sin(2 / x). We can see that:

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 0}g(x) = \lim_{ x \to 0}h(x) = 0[/tex]

And since g(x) ≤ f(x) ≤ h(x), we can conclude using the Squeeze Theorem that:

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 0}f(x) = \lim_{x \to 0}x^2\sin\left(\frac{2}{x}\right)=0[/tex]
