There are two species of plants that live along the ridge line of Old Rag, which is a mountain here in Virginia. The probability of observing the first species is 0.61, while the probability of observing the second species is 0.08. The probability of observing them growing together (i.e. right next to one another) is 0.28. When you go for a hike along this ridge line, what is the probability of observing one species or the other but not both together
Answers
Answer:
0.13
Step-by-step explanation:
First let's find the probability of finding the first species or the second species:
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)
P(A or B) = 0.61 + 0.08 - 0.28
P(A or B) = 0.41
Then, to find the probability of finding one or another but not both, we just need the symmetric difference of the events, that is: P(A or B) - P(A and B):
P(A or B) - P(A and B) = 0.41 - 0.28 = 0.13
A car is driving at 100 kilometers per hour. How far, in meters, does it travel in 3 seconds?
Answers
Answer:
The car travels 83 1/3 meters in 3 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed of car = 100 KM/ hour
1 km= 1000m
1 hour = 3600 seconds
Lets find speed of car in Meters/second
speed of car in m/sec = 100*1000 m/3600 second
here we have taken 1000 for km and 3600 for hour
speed of car in m/sec = 100*1000 m/3600 second = 500/18 m/second
speed of car in m/sec = 250/9 m per sec
We know that
distance = speed*time
speed = 250/9 m per sec
time =3 second
distance = 250/9 * 3 meters = 250/3 meters = 83 1/3 meters.
Thus, car travels 83 1/3 meters in 3 seconds.

n a nature conservatory, the ratio of butterflies to total number of flying insects is 36 to 100. There are 450 total flying insects. (a) Create a table for how many butterflies there are for 1, 50, and 100 flying insects. Show your work. (b) How many butterflies are in the conservatory? Show your work.
Answers
Answer:
There are 172 butterflies in the conservatory.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
ratio of butterflies to total number of flying insects is 36 to 100
total number of butterflies / total number of flying insects = 36 / 100 = 9/25
Create a table for how many butterflies there are for 1, 50, and 100 flying insects.
Let the number of butter flies be x
when total no. of insects = 1
total number of butterflies / total number of flying insects =9/25=x/1
=> 9/25= x/1
=> x = 9/25
____________________________________
when total no. of insects = 50
total number of butterflies / total number of flying insects =9/25=x/50

_______________________________________
when total no. of insects = 100
total number of butterflies / total number of flying insects =9/25=x/100

100 36
______________________________________________
Given there There are 450 total flying insects in the conservatory
again using the same ratio and taking no. of butterflies as x
total number of butterflies / total number of flying insects =9/25=x/450
9/25=x/450
=>x = 9/25 * 450 = 9*18 = 172
Thus, there are 172 butterflies in the conservatory.
Answer:

The highway fuel economy of a 2016 Lexus RX 350 FWD 6-cylinder 3.5-L automatic 5-speed using premium fuel is a normally distributed random variable with a mean of μ = 26.50 mpg and a standard deviation of σ = 3.25 mpg.
Required:
a. What is the standard error of X and the mean from a random sample of 25 fill-ups by one driver?
b. Within what interval would you expect the sample mean to fall, with 98 percent probability?
Answers
Answer:
a) 0.65 mpg
b) Between 24.99 mpg and 28.01 mpg.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.
Normal probability distribution
When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation, which is also called standard error, [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
In this question, we have that:
[tex]\mu = 26.50, \sigma = 3.25, n = 25, s = \frac{3.25}{\sqrt{25}} = 0.65[/tex]
a. What is the standard error of X and the mean from a random sample of 25 fill-ups by one driver?
s = 0.65 mpg
b. Within what interval would you expect the sample mean to fall, with 98 percent probability?
From the: 50 - (98/2) = 1st percentile
To the: 50 + (98/2) = 99th percentile
1st percentile:
X when Z has a pvalue of 0.01. So X when Z = -2.327.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]-2.327 = \frac{X - 26.50}{0.65}[/tex]
[tex]X - 26.50 = -2.327*0.65[/tex]
[tex]X = 24.99[/tex]
99th percentile:
X when Z has a pvalue of 0.99. So X when Z = 2.327.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]2.327 = \frac{X - 26.50}{0.65}[/tex]
[tex]X - 26.50 = 2.327*0.65[/tex]
[tex]X = 28.01[/tex]
Between 24.99 mpg and 28.01 mpg.

Q.04: (11 points) Given the polar curve r = e θ , where 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π. Find points on the curve in the form (r, θ) where there is a horizontal or vertical tangent line. g
Answers
I suppose the curve is [tex]r(\theta)=e^\theta[/tex].
Tangent lines to the curve have slope [tex]\frac{dy}{dx}[/tex]; use the chain rule to get this in polar coordinates.
[tex]\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{dy}{d\theta}\dfrac{d\theta}{dx}=\dfrac{\frac{dy}{d\theta}}{\frac{dx}{d\theta}}[/tex]
We have
[tex]y(\theta)=r(\theta)\sin\theta\implies\dfrac{dy}{d\theta}=\dfrac{dr}{d\theta}\sin\theta+r(\theta)\cos\theta[/tex]
[tex]x(\theta)=r(\theta)\cos\theta\implies\dfrac{dx}{d\theta}=\dfrac{dr}{d\theta}\cos\theta-r(\theta)\sin\theta[/tex]
[tex]r(\theta)=e^\theta\implies\dfrac{dr}{d\theta}=e^\theta[/tex]
[tex]\implies\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{e^\theta\sin\theta+e^\theta\cos\theta}{e^\theta\cos\theta-e^\theta\sin\theta}=\dfrac{\sin\theta+\cos\theta}{\cos\theta-\sin\theta}[/tex]
The tangent line is horizontal when the slope is 0, which happens wherever the numerator vanishes:
[tex]\sin\theta+\cos\theta=0\implies\sin\theta=-\cos\theta\implies\tan\theta=-1[/tex]
[tex]\implies\theta=\boxed{-\dfrac\pi4+n\pi}[/tex]
(where [tex]n[/tex] is any integer)
The tangent line is vertical when the slope is infinite or undefined, which happens when the denominator is 0:
[tex]\cos\theta-\sin\theta=0\implies\sin\theta=\cos\theta\implies\tan\theta=1[/tex]
[tex]\implies\theta=\boxed{\dfrac\pi4+n\pi}[/tex]

Let P denote pencils, M denote markers and E denote erasers. The quantities of each item and total amounts spent by each person can be modeled into the following linear system:
[tex]7P+8M+7E=22\\4P+8M+6E=19.5\\6P+4M+7E=17.75[/tex]
Solving the linear system:
[tex]7P-4P+8M-8M+7E-6E=22-19.5\\3P+E=2.5\\E=2.5-3P \\\\7P+8M+7E-2*(6P+4M+7E)=22-2*17.75\\-5P-7E=-13.5\\-5P*-7*(2.5-3P)=-13.5\\16P=-13.5+17.5\\P=0.25\\E=2.5-0.25*3\\E=1.75\\7P+8M+7E =22\\7*0.25+8M+7*1.75 =22\\8M=8\\M=1[/tex]
The price of each item is:
Pencil = $0.25
Marker = $1.00

Ten different numbers are written on pieces of paper and thrown into a hat. The sum of all the numbers is 205. What is the probability of selecting four numbers that have a sum greater than 82
Answers
Answer:
The probability is 40%
Step-by-step explanation:
a) There are ten pieces of paper with ten numbers
Probability of selecting four pieces of paper = 4/10 or 40%
Probability that the four numbers selected will have a sum greater than 82 = 82/205 = 40%
Therefore, the probability of selecting four numbers that have a sum greater than 82 out of ten numbers totalling 205 is 40%.

How many standard deviations is the sample mean from the mean of the distribution of sample?
Answers
Answer:
The sample mean is 9.875 standard deviations from the mean of the distribution of sample
Step-by-step explanation:
Z-score:
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation s, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this question:
[tex]X = 17.79, \mu = 17, s = 0.08[/tex]
How many standard deviations is the sample mean from the mean of the distribution of sample?
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{17.79 - 17}{0.08}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 9.875[/tex]
The sample mean is 9.875 standard deviations from the mean of the distribution of sample
