Answer:

C. c = (xv - x) / (v - 1).

Step-by-step explanation:

v = (x + c) / (x - c)

(x - c) * v = x + c

vx - vc = x + c

-vc - c = x - vx

vc + c = -x + vx

c(v + 1) = -x + vx

c = (-x + vx) / (v + 1)

c = (-x + xv) / (v + 1)

c = (xv - x) / (v + 1)

So, the answer should be C. c = (xv - x) / (v + 1).

Kimberly is a program director for the channel KID. She tracked the cartoons shown on the channel for a week. The probability that the show had animals in it was 0.7. The probability that the show aired more than 10 times was 0.4. The probability that the show had animals in it and aired more than 10 times was 0.2. Which equation shows the correct use of the addition rule to determine the probability that a randomly selected show had animals in it or aired more than 10 times?

Answers

Options

0.7+0.2−0.4=0.5 0.7+0.2=0.9 0.7+0.4=1.1 0.4+0.2=0.6 0.7+0.4−0.2=0.9

Answer:

[tex](E)0.7+0.4-0.2=0.9[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

In probability theory

[tex]P$(A or B)=P(A)+P(B)$-$P(A and B)[/tex]

Let the event that the show had animals in it = A

P(A)=0.7

Let the event that the show aired more than 10 times =B

P(B)=0.4

P(A and B)= 0.2

[tex]P$(A or B)$=0.7+0.4-0.2=0.9[/tex]

Therefore, the equation which  shows the correct use of the addition rule to determine the probability that a randomly selected show had animals in it or aired more than 10 times is:

[tex]0.7+0.4-0.2=0.9[/tex]

The correct option is E.

Compute the critical value z Subscript alpha divided by 2 that corresponds to a 86​% level of confidence.

Answers

Answer:

z = 1.476

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1-0.86}{2} = 0.07[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex].

So it is z with a pvalue of [tex]1-0.07 = 0.93[/tex], so [tex]z = 1.476[/tex]

There is a set of 100 obserations with a mean of 46 and a standard deviation of 0. What is the value of smallest obserstion in a set?

Answers

Answer:

Solution = 46

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe you meant standard deviation. Standard deviation is defined as the variation of the data set, or the differences between the values in this set. In order for the standard deviation to be 0, all values should be the same.

Now if the mean is 46, the smallest possible number of each value in the data set should be 46 as well.  This is considering the mean is the average of the values, and hence any number of values in the data set being 46 will always have a mean of 46. Let me give you a demonstration -

[tex]Ex. [ 46, 46, 46 ], and, [46, 46, 46, 46, 46]\\Average = 46 + 46 + 46 / 3 = 46,\\Average = 46 + 46 + 46 + 46 + 46 / 5 = 46[/tex]

As you can see, the average is 46 in each case. This proves that a data set consisting of n number of values in it, each value being 46, or any constant value for that matter, always has a mean similar to the value inside the set, in this case 46. And, that the value of the smallest standard deviation is 46.

A ball is thrown vertically upward from the ground. Its distance in feet from the ground in t seconds is s equals negative 16 t squared plus 256 t. After how many seconds will the ball be 1008 feet from the​ ground?

Answers

Answer:

7 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height equation of the motion;

s = -16t^2 + 256t

At s = 1008 ft

The equation becomes;

1008 = -16t^2 + 256t

16t^2 - 256t + 1008 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation for t;

Factorising, we have;

16(t-7)(t-9) = 0

t = 7 or t = 9

When the ball is going up it would reach the given height at time t = 7 seconds.

When it is coming down it would reach the given height at time t = 9 seconds.

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the point (12, -2)? A) y = -6/5x + 10 B) y= -6/5x + 12 C) y = -5/6x -10 D) y = 5/6x - 12

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines are those that have the same slope, or coefficient of x.

Here, let's calculate the slope of the given line. Slope is the difference in the y-coordinates divided by the difference in the x-coordinates, so given the two coordinates (12, 6) and (0, -4):

slope = m = (-4 - 6) / (0 - 12) = -10 / (-12) = 10/12 = 5/6

So the slope is 5/6. That means the equation we want should also have a slope of 5/6. Already, we can eliminate A, B, and C, leaving D as our answer. But, let's check.

The equation of a line can be written as [tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex], where m is the slope and [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] is the coordinates of a given point.

Here, our slope is 5/6 and our given point is (12, -2). So plug these in:

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

[tex]y-(-2)=(5/6)(x-12)[/tex]

[tex]y+2=\frac{5}{6} x-10[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{5}{6} x-12[/tex]

This matches D, so we know that it's the correct answer.

An exponential function has:

A. a straight line that can be increasing or decreasing.
B.a curved line that can be increasing or decreasing.
C. U-shaped curved lines that increase then decrease or decrease then increase.
D. None of these choices are correct.

Answers

Answer:

Answer B is the correct one: a curved line that can be increasing or decreasing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential functions are one-to-one functions, which means that cannot have a U shape. Also, they are not a straight line, since they grow of decrease exponentially (based on a fixed numerical base with the variable as the exponent) They can represent exponential growth showing a curve with increasing values as we move from left to right, or can represent exponential decay showing a curve with decreasing values as we move from left to right.

g Steel used for water pipelines is often coated on the inside with cement mortar to prevent corrosion. In a study of the mortar coatings of the pipeline used in a water transmission project in California, researchers noted that the mortar thickness was specified to be 7/16 inch. A very large sample of thickness measurements produced a mean equal to 0.635 inch and astandard deviation equal to 0.082 inch. If the thickness measurements were normally distributed, approximately what proportion were less than 7/16 inch?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P(X<0.4375)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{0.4375-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z<\frac{0.4375-0.635}{0.082})=P(z<-2.41)[/tex]

And we can find this probability using the z table and we got:

[tex]P(z<-2.41)=0.0080[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the thickness of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

[tex]X \sim N(0.635,0.082)[/tex]  

Where [tex]\mu=0.635[/tex] and [tex]\sigma=0.032[/tex]

We are interested on this probability

[tex]P(X<0.4375)[/tex]

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

[tex]P(X<0.4375)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{0.4375-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z<\frac{0.4375-0.635}{0.082})=P(z<-2.41)[/tex]

And we can find this probability using the z table and we got:

[tex]P(z<-2.41)=0.0080[/tex]

A school is 16km due west of a school q.
What is the bearing of q from p?


Answers

Answer:

16 km due west

Step-by-step explanation:

The bearing of the school p from school q is 16 km due west.

To find the bearing of school q from school p, we have to find the direction that the school q is with respect to school p.

Since p is directly west of q, then it implies that q must be directly east of p.

We now know the direction.

Since the distance from q to p is exactly the same as the distance from p to q, then, the distance from p to q is 16 km.

Hence, the bearing of q from p is 16 km due west.

F) C ∪ D = {RRL, RRS, RSR, RLR, LRR, SRR. LLR, LLS, LSL, LRL, RLL, SLL, SSL, SSR, SLS, SRS, LSS, RSS}

G) C ∩ D = {RRL, RRS, RSR, RLR, LRR, SRR}

Step-by-step explanation:

A) All vehicles must go right, left or straight ahead (three possibilities):

A = {RRR, LLL, SSS}

B) One vehicle must go right, one must go left, and the remaining one must go straight ahead (six possibilities):

B = {LRS. LSR, RLS, RSL, SLR, SRL}

C) There are three ways that exactly two vehicles go right (1 and 3, 2 and 3, 1 and 2), there are then two options for the remaining vehicle (left and straight) for a total of six possibilities:

C = {RRL, RRS, RSR, RLR, LRR, SRR}

D) Follow the same reasoning from the previous item, but multiply the number of possibilities by 3 (for each direction in which both cars can go: right, left or straight):

D = {RRL, RRS, RSR, RLR, LRR, SRR. LLR, LLS, LSL, LRL, RLL, SLL, SSL, SSR, SLS, SRS, LSS, RSS}

E) D' is the set containing all possibilities not present in set D. D' is comprised by the possibilities of all vehicles going in the same direction, or each vehicle in a different direction:

D' ={RRR, LLL, SSS, LRS. LSR, RLS, RSL, SLR, SRL}

F) The outcomes in C ∪ D is the union of elements from set C and D (neglecting repeated values), which happens to be all values in set D.

C ∪ D = {RRL, RRS, RSR, RLR, LRR, SRR. LLR, LLS, LSL, LRL, RLL, SLL, SSL, SSR, SLS, SRS, LSS, RSS}

G) The outcomes in C ∩ D is the list of values present in both sets C and D, which happens to be all values in set C:

Read the following passage from "An Indian Father's Plea," by Medicine Grizzlybear Lake. Dear teacher, I would like to introduce you to my son, Wind-Wolf. [1] He is probably what you would consider a typical Indian kid. He was born and raised on a reservation. He has black hair, dark brown eyes, olive complexion. And like so many Indian children his age, he is shy and quiet in the classroom. He is 5 years old, in kindergarten, and I can't understand why you have already labeled him a "slow learner." At the age of 5, he has already been through quite an education compared with his peers in Western society. At his first introduction into this world, he was bonded to his mother and to the Mother Earth in a traditional native childbirth ceremony. And he has been continuously cared for by his mother, father, sisters, cousins, uncles, grandparents, and extended tribal family since this ceremony. Lake, Medicine Grizzlybear.
