A student takes a 48 question multiple choice quiz. The student is unprepared, so they guess on every question. The probability of guessing a correct answer is 1/4. Find the mean and standard deviation for the random variable

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]Mean = 12[/tex]

[tex]Standard\ Deviation = 6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of questions, n = 48

Probability of correct answer, p = 1/4

Required

- Find the mean

- Find the standard deviation

Using probability notations;

n = 48 and p = 1/4

Mean is calculated as follows;

[tex]Mean = np[/tex]

Substitute 48 for n and 1/4 for p

[tex]Mean = 48 * \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]Mean = \frac{48}{4}[/tex]

[tex]Mean = 12[/tex]

The Mean is 12

Calculating Standard Deviation (SD)

[tex]SD = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

Substitute 48 for n and 1/4 for p

[tex]SD = \sqrt{48 * \frac{1}{4}(1-\frac{1}{4})}[/tex]

Solve the expression in the bracket

[tex]SD = \sqrt{48 * \frac{1}{4}(\frac{4-1}{4})}[/tex]

[tex]SD = \sqrt{48 * \frac{1}{4}(\frac{3}{4})}[/tex]

Open Bracket

[tex]SD = \sqrt{48 * \frac{1}{4}*\frac{3}{4}}[/tex]

[tex]SD = \sqrt{\frac{48 * 1 * 3}{4}}[/tex]

[tex]SD = \sqrt{\frac{144}{4}}[/tex]

[tex]SD = \sqrt{36}[/tex]

Take Square Root of 36

[tex]SD = 6[/tex]

The standard deviation is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

A carpenter uses a hand saw to cut a piece of wood in half. The length of the saw blade is 40 cm, while the wood he is cutting is 8 cm across. Each time he extends the saw out with his arm, there is 5 cm of blade between the handle and the wood. When he pulls the saw toward his self with his arm, the saw handle is 25 centimetres from the wood. Each time he extends his arm out and pulls it back in, 1 second has passed. He starts with his arm extended out. Write an equation that models how far the tip of the saw is from the wood in terms of time.

Answers

Answer:

The equation that models how far from the tip of the saw is from the wood in terms of time is x(t) = 10×cos(2×π×t) + 17

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

Length of the saw blade = 40 cm

Thickness of the wood across = 8 cm

Length of blade between wood saw handle with hand extended = 5 cm

Length of the tip from the wood at the above time = 40 - 8 - 5 = 27 cm

Length of blade between wood saw handle with saw pulled inwards = 25 cm

Length of the tip from the wood at the above time = 40 - 8 - 25 = 7 cm

Time for one complete cycle = 1 second

We note that the basic equation for oscillatory motion is of the form;

x(t) = A·cos(ωt) + d

Where:

A = Amplitude of the motion = (27 - 7)/2 = 10 cm

ω = Angular frequency = 2·π/T

ωt = Motion's phase

t = Time of the motion

d = The middle location = 27 - 10 = 17 cm

T = The time to complete a cycle = 1 s

Therefore;

ω = 2·π

Given that he stars with his arm extended out, we have;

27 = 10×cos(2×π×0) + 17

Therefore, the equation that models how far from the tip of the saw is from the wood in terms of time is x(t) = 10×cos(2×π×t) + 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

In right angled triangle DEF, cos(F) = cos(D) = 1/√2, sin(F) = sin(D) = 1/√2 and tan(F) = tan(D) = 1

Trigonometric ratio

Trigonometric ratio is used to show the relationship between the angles and sides of a right angled triangle.

Given triangle DEF:

DE = EF (Hence it is an isosceles triangle)

∠F = ∠D ( Isosceles triangle)

cos(F) = cos(D) = 5 / 5√2 = 1/√2

sin(F) = sin(D) = 5 / 5√2 = 1/√2

tan(F) = tan(D) = 5 / 5 = 1

In right angled triangle DEF, cos(F) = cos(D) = 1/√2, sin(F) = sin(D) = 1/√2 and tan(F) = tan(D) = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In arithmetic progression common difference is given by

d = nth term - (n-1)th term.

In geometric progression common ratio is given by

r = nth term / (n-1)th term.

Another thing  important to note is that in both AP and GP common difference and common ratio remains same for any two consecutive terms which can be calculated using above formula.

we will be using this concept to solve this problem.

________________________________

Let look at the problem

series

11, 6 ,1

Lets try to find common difference for this series

common difference of third and second term = 1-6 = -5

common difference of  second term and first term = 6 -11 = -5

Thus, we see that common difference is same in both case ,

hence it can be concluded that series is Arithmetic progression.

another way to validate this is

nth term of AP is given by

nth term = a + (n-1)d

where a is first term

lets try to find third term using this formula and using d = -5 and a = 11

3rd term = 11 + (3-1)-5 = 11 + 2*-5 = 11- 10 = 1

Thus, we see that third term calculated is same as given in series i.e 1

Hence series is Arithmetic progression validated as well.

______________________________________________

Problem is solved but lets see if the series is GP or not

common ratio of third and second term = 1/6 = 1/6

common ratio of  second term and first term = 6 /11

Thus, we see common ratio is not same for the two consecutive term in the series and hence series cannot be geometric progression.

A ball is thrown in air and it’s height, h(t) in feet, at any time, t in seconds, is represented by the equation h(t) =-t^2+7t. When is the ball higher than 10 feet off the ground?

Answers

Answer:

The ball is higher than 10 feet off the ground when the time is between 2 to 5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

In the above question, we are given the equation:

h(t) =-t²+7t.

We are asked to find the time (t) when the ball will be higher than 10 feet.

h(t) = height = 10 feet.

So we have:

10 = -t² + 7t

t² - 7t + 10 = 0

We have a quadratic equation hence we factorise.

t² - 5t - 2t + 10 = 0

(t² - 5t) +(2t - 10)= 0

t(t - 5) + 2 (t - 5) = 0

(t - 2) (t - 5) = 0

t - 2 = 0, t = 2

t - 5 = 0, t = 5

t = 5 and t = 2

Therefore, the ball is higher than 10 feet off the ground when the time is between 2 to 5 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = x-1

The slope intercept form is,

y = x -1

What is Equation of line?

The equation of line in point-slope form passing through the points

(x₁ , y₁) and (x₂, y₂) with slope m is defined as;

A square is a regular quadrilateral in Euclidean geometry, which means that it has four equal sides and four equal angles. It can alternatively be explained as a rectangle with two neighboring sides that are of equal length.

Given :

Let x be the side length of the second-smallest square.

Since the following size is square and 2 taller than the "x" square, its side length is (x+2).

This indicates that the bottom is longer (2x+x+2).

This can be used to discover expressions for the rectangle's top, left, and right sides. You can solve for x and consequently both dimensions because the top and bottom are identical in length.

Therefore, 7 units are the side length of the largest square.

someone please help with this last one

Answers

Answer:

r^2 = 45÷2 x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Details of cone:

Radius(r) = 5x cm

Height(h) = 12x cm

Slant height(l) = √(12x^2 + 5x^2)

l = 13x cm

Total surface area of a cone (T. S. A) = πrl + πr²

T. S. A = π * 5x * 13x + π5x^2

T.S.A = π65x^2 + π5x^2

T.S.A = π65x^2 + π25x^2

T.S.A = 90πx^2 - - - - - (1)

Details of sphere:

Radius (r) = r cm

Total surface area = 4πr²

Total Surface area of sphere= 4πr²cm - - - (2)

Equating (1) and (2) to calculate r

4πr² = 90πx^2

r^2 = 90πx^2 / 4π

r^2 = 90π (x^2) / 4π

r^2 = 45/2 (x^2) ;

r^2 = 45÷2 x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

If you were to put it into a problem

-2x + 4

(the 4 because that's where it intercepts the y axis)

and if you were to substitute in 4 for the x you would get

-2(4) + 4 = -4 which wouldn't give you -8

so now you try -3x + 4

Then substitute 4 for x

-3(4) + 4 = -8 so then you would substitute 6 by four just to be sure

-3(6) + 4 = -14 so the answer would be B.
