One fish is selected at random. Find the probability that it is a small, red fish.
Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.
Answer:
3/13
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a total of 13 fish (6+ 7 = 13). There are 3 small, red fish. (1/2 · 6 = 3). Put the number of small, red fish over the total number of fish because the small, red fish is being selected from the entire tank of fish. 3/13 cannot be simplified any further.
Suppose that we don't have a formula for g(x) but we know that g(3) = −1 and g'(x) = x2 + 7 for all x.
(a) Use a linear approximation to estimate g(2.95) and g(3.05).
g(2.95) =
g(3.05) =
(b) Are your estimates in part (a) too large or too small? Explain.
A) The slopes of the tangent lines are positive and the tangents are getting steeper, so the tangent lines lie below the curve. Thus, the estimates are too small.
B) The slopes of the tangent lines are positive but the tangents are becoming less steep, so the tangent lines lie below the curve. Thus, the estimates are too small.
C) The slopes of the tangent lines are positive and the tangents are getting steeper, so the tangent lines lie above the curve. Thus, the estimates are too large.
D) The slopes of the tangent lines are positive but the tangents are becoming less steep, so the tangent lines lie above the curve. Thus, the estimates are too large.
Answer:
g(2.95) ≈ -1.8; g(3.05) ≈ -0.2A) tangents are increasing in slope, so the tangent is below the curve, and estimates are too small.Step-by-step explanation:
(a) The linear approximation of g(x) at x=b will be ...
g(x) ≈ g'(b)(x -b) +g(b)
Using the given relations, this is ...
g'(3) = 3² +7 = 16
g(x) ≈ 16(x -3) -1
Then the points of interest are ...
g(2.95) ≈ 16(2.95 -3) -1 = -1.8
g(3.05) ≈ 16(3.05 -3) -1 = -0.2
__
(b) At x=3, the slope of the curve is increasing, so the tangent lies below the curve. The estimates are too small. (Matches description A.)

Triangle in a triangle Find the height of the building. Assume that the height of the person is 5 ft.
104 ft
building
13 ft
5 ft
Answer:
Height of the building is 40 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
From the figure attached,
Height of the person DE = 5 feet
Let height of the building BC = h feet
Since, ΔABC ~ ΔADE,
Their corresponding sides will be proportional,
[tex]\frac{DE}{BC}=\frac{AD}{AB}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5}{h}=\frac{13}{104}[/tex]
h = [tex]\frac{104\times 5}{13}[/tex]
h = 40 feet
Therefore, height of the building is 40 feet.
Identify the correct HYPOTHESIS used in a hypothesis test of the following claim and sample data: Claim: "The average annual household income in Warren County is $47,500." A random sample of 86 households from this county is obtained, and they have an average annual income of $48,061 with a standard deviation of $2,351. Test the claim at the 0.02 significance level.
Answer:
We accept H₀
Step-by-step explanation:
Population mean μ₀ = 47500
Population standard deviation unknown
Sample size n = 86 degree of freedom df = 86 - 1 df = 85
Sample mean μ = 48061
Sample standard deviation 2,351
The claim implies a two tail test with t-studend distributon
Null Hypothesis H₀ μ = μ₀
Alternative Hypothesis Hₐ μ ≠ μ₀
Confidence Interval mean α = 0,02 and α/2 = 0,01
With α/2 and df = 85, from t-table we find t(c) critical value
t(c) = 2,3710
We compute t(s) as
t(s) = ( μ - μ₀ ) / s /√n
t(s) = ( 48061 - 47500 )/ 2351/√86
t(s) = 561 * 9,273 / 2351
t(s) = 2,212
Now we compare t(s) and t(c)
t(s) < t(c) 2,212 < 2,371
Then we are in the acceptance region. We accept H₀

Tublu buys a cylindrical water tank of height 1.4m and diameter 1.1 to catch rainwater off his roof.he has a full 2 liters tin of paint in his store and decides to paint the tank (not the base) If he uses 25ml to cover 1m^2 will he have enough paint to cover the tank with one layer of paint
Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
The lateral area of a cylinder is ...
LA = πdh
Putting in the given numbers, we find the area to be ...
LA = π(1.1 m)(1.4 m) ≈ 4.838 m²
At 25 mL per m², the amount of paint Tublu needs is ...
(4.838 m²)(25 mL/m²) = 120.95 mL
2 liters is 2000 mL, so Tublu easily has enough paint for one layer.
___
The amount he has is enough for more than 16 coats of paint, so he could paint inside and out with the paint he has.
Answer:
he should.

A triangle on a coordinate plane is translated according to the rule T-3,5(x, y). Which is another way to write this rule?
(x, y) - (x - 3, y + 5)
(x, y) - (x-3, y-5)
(x,y) - (x + 3, y-5)
(x, y) = (x + 3, y + 5)
Explanation:
The notation [tex]T_{-3,5}(x,y)[/tex] or means to move any point (x,y) along the vector <-3,5>. Put another way, it says to shift (x,y) three units to the left and five units up. The x portion deals with left or right shifting, the y portion deals with up or down shifting. Since the x portion is negative, we go in the negative direction on the x axis. Y being positive means we move up rather than down.
This all means we end up with the translation rule [tex](x,y) \to (x-3,y+5)[/tex]

A. (-3, 0)
B. (-3, 6)
C. (0, 4)
Hey there!
To solve this, we need to plug each of our answer options into the inequality and see if it is true. Which ever one doesn't make the inequality true when plugged in is the answer.
OPTION A
(x,y)=(-3,0)
We plug our values into the inequality.
0≥ I-3I+3
You may have noticed the bars surrounding the negative three.. If you didn't know, this is called absolute value. Absolute value is how far the number is from 0 on the number line. -7 is 7 away from 0 on a number line, so the absolute value of -7 is 7. The absolute value of 7 is 7. The absolute value of 0 is 0. Absolute value is signified by these bars. Le'ts finish evaluating.
0≥6
As you can see, zero is not greater than or equal to six. So, option A is false.
Since A is not a solution, we already know that that is the answer, so we don't even need to check B and C. But, we can still evaluate them if you want.
OPTION B
6≥I-3I+3
6≥6
This is true.
OPTION C
4≥I0I+3
4≥3
This is also true.
Therefore, the answer is A. (-3,0)

A piece of wire 27 m long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a square and the other is bent into an equilateral triangle.(a) How much wire should be used for the square in order to maximize the total area?(b) How much wire should be used for the square in order to minimize the total area?
Answer:
a).length of wire for square = 15.25 m
b). length of wire for triangle = 11.75 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of a piece of wire = 27 m
This wire was cut into 2 pieces of length 'x' m and (27 - x) m
One was bent into an equilateral triangle and other into a square.
Area of the square shape = Side²
A = [tex](\frac{27-x}{4})^2[/tex]
Similarly, Area of the equilateral triangle = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}(\text{Side})^2[/tex]
A' =[tex]\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}(\frac{x}{3})^{2}[/tex]
Total area of both the figures = A + A'
F = [tex]\frac{(27-x)^2}{16}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}(\frac{x}{3} )^2[/tex]
Now we find the derivative of 'F' with respect to x and equate it to zero.
F' = [tex]\frac{1}{16}(-1)[2(27-x)]+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{36}(2x)[/tex] = 0
[tex]\frac{\sqrt{3}}{18}(x)=\frac{1}{8}(27-x)[/tex]
x = 15.25 m
a). Length of wire required for a square = 15.25 m
b). Length of wire required for an equilateral triangle = 11.75 m
A) The amount of wire that should be used for the square in order to maximize the area is; 0 m
B) The amount of wire that should be used for the square in order to minimize the area is; 11.74 m
A) We are told that length of wire is 27 m.
Now, let the length cut for the square be x. Thus, length cut for the triangle will be; (27 - x) m.
Since the length for the square is x, then a side of the square is;
Length of side of square = x/4
Length of side of equilateral triangle = (27 - x)/3
Thus;
Area of square; A_s = (x/4)²
Area of equilateral triangle; A_t = ((27 - x)/3)²(¹/₄√3)
Thus, total area is;
A(x) = (x/4)² + ((27 - x)/3)²(¹/₄)√3)
⇒ A(x) = ¹/₁₆x² + ¹/₃₆((27 - x)²√3)
B) Total area is; A(x) = ¹/₁₆x + ¹/₃₆((27 - x)²√3)
To minimize the total area, we will differentiate and equate to zero.
A'(x) = ¹/₈x - ¹/₁₈((27 - x)√3)
At A'(x) = 0, we have;
¹/₈x - ¹/₁₈((27 - x)√3) = 0
¹/₈x = ¹/₁₈((27 - x)√3)
¹/₈x = ³/₂√3 - ˣ/₁₈√3
¹/₈x + ˣ/₁₈√3 = ³/₂√3
x(¹/₈ + ¹/₁₈√3) = ³/₂√3
x = (³/₂√3)/(¹/₈ + ¹/₁₈√3)
x = 11.74 m
Now, A''(x) = ¹/₈ + ¹/₁₈√3
This is greater than zero and so x = 11.74 m is a minimum
Thus, length cut for triangle = 27 - 11.74
length cut for triangle = 15.26 m

There are 200,000 Men 18-34 in the television households in the market. What would be the rating for Men 18-34 for program X? Group of answer choices 47 rating points 7.5 rating points 16 rating points 23.5 rating points
Answer:
7.5 rating points
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation of the rating for Men 18-34 for program X is shown below:
Given that
Number of men 18 -34 watched a program X = 15,000 = X
Number of men 18 - 34 watched in a same time = 32,000
And, the total households in the market = 200,000 = Y
So, the rating for men 18-34 for program x is

Answer:
( 2,1) is the center of dilation and -2 is the scale factor
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the formula
A' = k( x-a) +a, k( y-b)+b where ( a,b) is the center of dilation and k is the scale factor
(0,0) becomes (6,3)
( 6,3) = k( 0-a) +a, k( 0-b)+b
6 = -ka+a
3 = -kb+b
We also have
(4,0) becomes (-2,3)
( -2,3) = k( 4-a) +a, k( 0-b)+b
-2 =4k -ka+a
3 = -kb+b
Using these two equations
6 = -ka+a
-2 =4k -ka+a
Subtracting the top from the bottom
-2 =4k -ka+a
-6 = ka -a
-------------------
-8 = 4k
Divide by 4
-8/4 = 4k/4
-2 = k
Now solving for a
6 = -ka +a
6 = - (-2)a +a
6 = 2a+a
6 = 3a
Divide by 3
6/3 =3a/3
2=a
Now finding b
3 = -kb+b
3 = -(-2)b+b
3 = 2b+b
3 = 3b
b=1

Of 1000 randomly selected cases of lung cancer, 823 resulted in death within 10 years.
a. Calculate a 95% two-sided confidence interval on the death rate from lung cancer.
b. Using the point estimate of p obtained from the preliminary sample, what sample size is needed to be 95% confident that the error in estimating the true value of p is less than 0.03?
c. How large must the sample be if you wish to be at least 95% confident that the error in estimating p is less than 0.03, regardless of the true value of p?
Answer:
a) [tex]0.823 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.823(1-0.823)}{1000}}=0.799[/tex]
[tex]0.823 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.823(1-0.823)}{1000}}=0.847[/tex]
The 95% confidence interval would be given by (0.799;0.847)
b) [tex]n=\frac{0.823(1-0.823)}{(\frac{0.03}{1.96})^2}=621.79[/tex]
And rounded up we have that n=622
c) [tex]n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.03}{1.96})^2}=1067.11[/tex]
And rounded up we have that n=1068
Step-by-step explanation:
Part a
[tex]\hat p=\frac{823}{1000}=0.823[/tex]
In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by [tex]\alpha=1-0.95=0.05[/tex] and [tex]\alpha/2 =0.025[/tex]. And the critical value would be given by:
[tex]z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96[/tex]
The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:
[tex]\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex]
If we replace the values obtained we got:
[tex]0.823 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.823(1-0.823)}{1000}}=0.799[/tex]
[tex]0.823 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.823(1-0.823)}{1000}}=0.847[/tex]
The 95% confidence interval would be given by (0.799;0.847)
Part b
The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:
[tex] ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex] (a)
And on this case we have that [tex]ME =\pm 0.03[/tex] and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:
[tex]n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}[/tex] (b)
And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:
[tex]n=\frac{0.823(1-0.823)}{(\frac{0.03}{1.96})^2}=621.79[/tex]
And rounded up we have that n=622
Part c

The monthly starting salaries of students who receive an MBA degree have a standard deviation of $110. What size sample should be selected to obtain a 0.95 probability of estimating the mean monthly income within $20 or less
Answer:
116.21Step-by-step explanation:
Using the formula for calculating margin error to tackle the question.
Margin error = [tex]\frac{Z \sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
Z is the value at 95% confidence
[tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation
n is the sample size to be estimated
Since the mean monthly income is within $20 or less, our margin error will be $20
Given [tex]\sigma[/tex] = $110, Z value at 95% confidence = 1.96 we can calculate the sample side n.
Making n the subject of the formula from the equation above;
[tex]M.E = \frac{Z \sigma}{\sqrt{n} }\\\\\sqrt{n} = \frac{Z \sigma}{M.E } \\\\[/tex]
[tex]n = (\frac{Z \sigma}{M.E })^{2}[/tex]
Substituting the give value into the resulting expression;
[tex]n = (\frac{1.96 * 110}{20})^{2}\\\\n = (\frac{215.6}{20}) ^2\\\\n = 10.78^2\\\\n = 116.21[/tex]
This shows that the sample size that should be selected to obtain a 0.95 probability of estimating the mean monthly income within $20 or less is approximately 116.21

The manufacturer of a certain brand of hot dogs claims that the mean fat content per hot dog is 20 grams. Suppose the standard deviation of the population of these hot dogs is 1.9 grams. A sample of these hot dogs is tested, and the mean fat content per hot dog of this sample is found to be 20.5 grams. Find the probability that the sample mean is at least 20.5 when the sample size is 35.
Answer:
[tex]z=\frac{20.5-20}{\frac{1.9}{\sqrt{35}}}= 1.557[/tex]
And using the normal standard distribution and the complement rule we got:
[tex]P(z>1.557) =1-P(z<1.557) = 1-0.940 = 0.06[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we define our random variable X as "fat content per hot dog" and we know the following parameters:
[tex]\mu = 20, \sigma =1.9[/tex]
We select a sample of n=35 and we want to find the following probability:
[tex] P(\bar X>20.5)[/tex]
For this case since the sample size is >30 we can use the central limit theorem and we use the z score formula given by:
[tex]z=\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
Replacing we got:
[tex]z=\frac{20.5-20}{\frac{1.9}{\sqrt{35}}}= 1.557[/tex]
And using the normal standard distribution and the complement rule we got:
[tex]P(z>1.557) =1-P(z<1.557) = 1-0.940 = 0.06[/tex]
