A manufacturer knows that on average 20% of the electric toasters produced require repairs within 1 year after they are sold. When 20 toasters are randomly selected, find appropriate numbers x and y such that (a) the probability that at least x of them will require repairs is less than 0.5; (b) the probability that at least y of them will not require repairs is greater than 0.8
Answer:
(a) The value of x is 5.
(b) The value of y is 15.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the random variable X represent the number of electric toasters produced that require repairs within 1 year.
And the let the random variable Y represent the number of electric toasters produced that does not require repairs within 1 year.
The probability of the random variables are:
P (X) = 0.20
P (Y) = 1 - P (X) = 1 - 0.20 = 0.80
The event that a randomly selected electric toaster requires repair is independent of the other electric toasters.
A random sample of n = 20 toasters are selected.
The random variable X and Y thus, follows binomial distribution.
The probability mass function of X and Y are:
[tex]P(X=x)={20\choose x}(0.20)^{x}(1-0.20)^{20-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(Y=y)={20\choose y}(0.20)^{20-y}(1-0.20)^{y}[/tex]
(a)
Compute the value of x such that P (X ≥ x) < 0.50:
[tex]P (X \geq x) < 0.50\\\\1-P(X\leq x-1)<0.50\\\\0.50<P(X\leq x-1)\\\\0.50<\sum\limits^{x-1}_{0}[{20\choose x}(0.20)^{x}(1-0.20)^{20-x}][/tex]
Use the Binomial table for n = 20 and p = 0.20.
[tex]0.411=\sum\limits^{3}_{x=0}[b(x,20,0.20)]<0.50<\sum\limits^{4}_{x=0}[b(x,20,0.20)]=0.630[/tex]
The least value of x that satisfies the inequality P (X ≥ x) < 0.50 is:
x - 1 = 4
x = 5
Thus, the value of x is 5.
(b)
Compute the value of y such that P (Y ≥ y) > 0.80:
[tex]P (Y \geq y) >0.80\\\\P(Y\leq 20-y)>0.80\\\\P(Y\leq 20-y)>0.80\\\\\sum\limits^{20-y}_{y=0}[{20\choose y}(0.20)^{20-y}(1-0.20)^{y}]>0.80[/tex]
Use the Binomial table for n = 20 and p = 0.20.
[tex]0.630=\sum\limits^{4}_{y=0}[b(y,20,0.20)]<0.50<\sum\limits^{5}_{y=0}[b(y,20,0.20)]=0.804[/tex]
The least value of y that satisfies the inequality P (Y ≥ y) > 0.80 is:
20 - y = 5
y = 15
Thus, the value of y is 15.

Answer:
Gender and Residence of Students
a) What is the probability that a student is female and lives in a dorm?
= 58.33%
b) What is the probability that a student is female given that she lives in a dorm?
= 21%
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Gender and Residence of Students
Males Females Total
Apartment off campus 50 90 140
Dorm room 150 210 360
With Parent(s) 100 50 150
Sorority/ Fraternity House 200 150 350
Total 500 500 1,000
a) Probability that a student is female and lives in a dorm:
= number of females who live in a dorm divided by total number of students who live in a dorm * 100
= 210/360 * 100
= 58.33%
b) Probability that a student is female given that she lives in a dorm
= number of female students who live in a dorm divided by the total number of students * 100
= 210/1,000 * 100
= 21%
n rectangle ABCD, point E lies half way between sides AB and CD and halfway between sides AD and BC. If AB=11 and BC=2, what is the area of the shaded region? Write your answer as a decimal, if necessary.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
For the rectangle ABCD
AB= DC= 11
BC= AD= 2
Point E lies halfway between AB and CD
The shaded are forms two triangles, I'll refer to the upper triangle as "Triangle one" and the lower triangle will be "triangle 2"
The area of a triangle is calculated as
[tex]a= \frac{bh}{2}[/tex]
b= base
h= height
Triangle 1
b₁= AB= 11
[tex]h_1= \frac{BC}{2}= \frac{2}{2}= 1[/tex]
[tex]a_1= \frac{b_1h_1}{2}= \frac{11*1}{2}= 5.5[/tex]
Triangle 2
b₂= DC= 11
[tex]h_2= \frac{BC}{2}= \frac{2}{2} = 1[/tex]
[tex]a_2= \frac{b_2h_2}{2}= \frac{11*1}{2}= 5.5[/tex]
Now you add the areas of both triangles to get the area of the shaded region:
a₁ + a₂= 5.5 + 5.5= 11
Since point E is halfway to all sides of the rectangle, even tough it doesn't see so, the shaded area is equal to half the area of the rectangle:
area= bh= DC*AD= 11*2= 22
area/2= 22/12= 11
I hope this helps!

A jet flies 425 km from Ottawa to Québec at rate v + 60. On the return flight, the
plane encountered wind resistance and travelled at rate v - 40. What is the
difference in flight times of the initial and return flights?
Answer:
a. [tex] \frac{- 42,500}{(v + 60)(v - 40)} [/tex]
Step-by-step Explanation:
Given:
Distance Ottawa to Québec = 425 km
Initial flight rate = v + 60
Return flight rate = v - 40
[tex] t = \frac{d}{r} [/tex]
Required:
Flight times difference of the initial and return flights
Solution:
=>Flight time of the initial flight:
[tex] t = \frac{d}{r} [/tex]
[tex] t = \frac{425}{v + 60} [/tex]
=>Flight time of the return flight:
[tex] t = \frac{425}{v - 40} [/tex]
=>Difference in flight times:
[tex] \frac{425}{v + 60} - \frac{425}{v - 40} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{425(v - 40) -425(v + 60)}{(v + 60)(v - 40)} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{425(v) - 425(40) -425(v) -425(+60)}{(v + 60)(v - 40)} [/tex]

Answer:
Hello some parts of your question is missing below is the missing part
suppose we use a person's dad's height to predict how short or tall the person will be by building a regression model to investigate if a relationship exists between the two variables. Suppose the regression results are as follows:
Least Squares Linear Regression of Height
Predictor
Variables Coefficient Std Error T P
Constant 20.2833 8.70520 2.33 0.0223
DadsHt 0.67499 0.12495 5.40 0.0002
R² 0.2673 Mean Square Error (MSE) 23.9235
Adjusted R² 0.2581 Standard Deviation 4.9000
Answer : We expect most of the sampled heights to fall within 9.8 inches of their least squares predicted values.
Step-by-step explanation:
standard deviation is the statistical measurement of the level at which a dataset disperses from its mean value
interpreting the standard deviation in this problem ,
given that the standard deviation is 4.9 inches, it simply means that the dataset heights will be either +4.9 inches or -4.9 inches away from the mean value. this means that most of the sampled Dad/'s height will fall within 9.8 inches of their least squares predicted values

On an uphill hike Ted climbs at 3mph. Going back down, he runs at 5mph. If it takes him forty minutes longer to climb up than run down, then what is the length of the hike?
Answer:
10 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
3 mi/1 hr x (h hours + 2/3 hr) = 5 mi/1 hr x h hours
3h + 2 = 5h
2 = 2h
h = 1 hour
3mi/hr x 1 2/3 hr = 5 miles
5 mi/hr x 1 hr = 5 miles
He hiked 10 miles. (
If 2/3 of a certain number is subtracted from twice the number, the result is 20. Find the number.
Answer:
[tex]\boxed{x = 15}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be x
Condition:
[tex]2x - \frac{2}{3} x = 20[/tex]
Multiplying 3 to both sides
=> 3(2x) - 2x = 3(20)
=> 6x - 2x = 60
=> 4x = 60
Dividing both sides by 4
=> x = 15
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be that number.
2/3 of x subtracted from twice of x is 20.
2x - 2/3x = 20
Solve for x.
Combine like terms.
4/3x = 20
Multiply both sides by 3/4
x = 60/4
x = 15
The number is 15.

Answer:
5/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of marbles in the bag
6red+ 4blue + 14 yellow = 24 marbles
Not yellow marbles = 10 marbles
P ( not yellow ) = number of not yellow marbles / total marbles
=10/24
= 5/12
Answer:
5/12
Step-by-step explanation:
6 red marbles
4 blue marbles
14 yellow marbles

A cable company must provide service for 6 houses in a particular neighborhood. They would like to wire the neighborhood in a way to minimize the wiring costs (or distance). What is the minimal length of the network required to span the entire neighborhood? House Distances (yards) 1 to 2 250 1 to 3 400 1 to 4 300 2 to 3 400 2 to 4 400 2 to 5 400 3 to 5 350 3 to 6 450 4 to 5 300 4 to 6 350
Answer:
1650 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we have to find the minimal spanning tree required to span the neighborhood.
We start from house 1. The minimum distance from house 1 to house 2 is 250 yards. Now from 2, we can go to house 3,4 or 5 all having the equal distances of 400 yard from house 2. So we go to from house 2 to house 3. Now from 3, we go to house 5 which is at a minimum distance of 350 yards. Now from house 5 we go to house 4 with 300 yards and then from house 4 we go to house 6 which is at 350 yards from 4.
Thus the network is complete and the total distance covered is
= 250 + 400 + 350 + 300 + 350
= 1650 yards
This is the minimum distance by which the neighborhood can be wired.
And the tree is

In a certain country the life expectancy for women in 1990 was 45 and in 2000 it was 85?years. Assuming that life expectancy between 2000 and 2100 increases by the same percentage as it did between 1900 and 2000,what will life expectancy be for women in 2100? Assuming the life expectancy between 2000 and 2100 will increase by the same percentage as it did between 1900 and 2000, the life expectancy for women will be —— years
Answer:
49145 years
Step-by-step explanation:
In a certain country the life expectancy for women in 1990 was 45 and in 2000 it was 85?years.
Assuming that life expectancy between 2000 and 2100 increases by the same percentage as it did between 1900 and 2000,what will life expectancy be for women in 2100?
In 10 years, the expectancy increased by 85/45 = 17/9
between 2000 and 2100, it will increas by 10 time 10 years, so expected expectancy is [tex]85*(\frac{85}{45})^{10} = 49145[/tex] years
The life expectancy for women will be 49145 years when It will increase by ten times between 2000 and 2100.
What is an exponential function?An exponential function is defined as a function whose value is a constant raised to the power of an argument is called an exponential function.
It is a relation of the form y = aˣ in mathematics, where x is the independent variable
In one country, women's life expectancy was 45 years in 1990 and 85 years in 2000.
Assuming that life expectancy grows by the same proportion between 2000 and 2100 as it did between 1900 and 2000, we have to determine the life would expectancy for women in 2100
Over a ten-year period, life expectancy rose by 85/45 = 17/9.
It will increase by ten times between 2000 and 2100, therefore the anticipated life expectancy will be
⇒ 85×(85/45)¹⁰
⇒ 85×(1.88)¹⁰
⇒ 49145 years
Hence, the life expectancy for women will be 49145 years

FIND THE EQUATION OF THE ELLIPSE WITH A CENTER AT (2, 2), VERTICES AT (-3,
2) AND (7, 2), AND FOCI AT (-1, 2) AND (5,2),
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard equation of an ellipse centered at the point (h,k) is
[tex]\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}+\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2} = 1[/tex]
where a is the distance from the center to one of the vertex. We have the relation [tex]c= \sqrt[]{a^2-b^2}[/tex] where c is the distance from one of the focus to the center.
The distance between one vertex and the center is 5. So a=5. The distance from one focue to the center is 3. Then c =3. So we have that [tex]b^2 = a^2-c^2 = 16[/tex]
so the equation is
[tex]\frac{(x-2)^2}{25}+\frac{(y-2)^2}{16} = 1[/tex]
Find the vertical and horizontal asymptotes, domain, range, and roots of f (x) = -1 / x-3 +2.
Answer:
Vertical asymptote: [tex]x=3[/tex]
Horizontal asymptote: [tex]f(x) =2[/tex]
Domain of f(x) is all real numbers except 3.
Range of f(x) is all real numbers except 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Function:
[tex]f (x) = -\dfrac{1 }{ x-3} +2[/tex]
One root, [tex]x = 3.5[/tex]
To find:
Vertical and horizontal asymptote, domain, range and roots of f(x).
Solution:
First of all, let us find the roots of f(x).
Roots of f(x) means the value of x where f(x) = 0
[tex]0= -\dfrac{1 }{ x-3} +2\\\Rightarrow 2= \dfrac{1 }{ x-3}\\\Rightarrow 2x-2 \times 3=1\\\Rightarrow 2x=7\\\Rightarrow x = 3.5[/tex]
One root, [tex]x = 3.5[/tex]
Domain of f(x) i.e. the values that we give as input to the function and there is a value of f(x) defined for it.
For x = 3, the value of f(x) [tex]\rightarrow \infty[/tex]
For all, other values of [tex]x[/tex] , [tex]f(x)[/tex] is defined.
Hence, Domain of f(x) is all real numbers except 3.
Range of f(x) i.e. the values that are possible output of the function.
f(x) = 2 is not possible in this case because something is subtracted from 2. That something is [tex]\frac{1}{x-3}[/tex].
Hence, Range of f(x) is all real numbers except 2.
Vertical Asymptote is the value of x, where value of f(x) [tex]\rightarrow \infty[/tex].
[tex]-\dfrac{1 }{ x-3} +2 \rightarrow \infty[/tex]
It is possible only when
[tex]x-3=0\\\Rightarrow x=3[/tex]
[tex]\therefore[/tex] vertical asymptote: [tex]x=3[/tex]
Horizontal Asymptote is the value of f(x) , where value of x [tex]\rightarrow \infty[/tex].
[tex]x\rightarrow \infty \Rightarrow \dfrac{1 }{ x-3} \rightarrow 0\\\therefore f(x) =-0+2 \\\Rightarrow f(x) =2[/tex]
[tex]\therefore[/tex] Horizontal asymptote: [tex]f(x) =2[/tex]

A boat is pulled into a dock by a rope attached to the bow of the boat and passing through a pulley on the dock that is 1 m higher than the bow of the boat. If the rope is pulled in at a rate of 1 m/s, how fast is the boat approaching the dock when it is 4 m from the dock
Answer:
-1.031 m/s or [tex]\frac{-\sqrt{17} }{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We take the length of the rope from the dock to the bow of the boat as y.
We take x be the horizontal distance from the dock to the boat.
We know that the rate of change of the rope length is [tex]\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex] = -1 m/s
We need to find the rate of change of the horizontal distance from the dock to the boat = [tex]\frac{dx}{dt}[/tex] = ?
for x = 4
Applying Pythagorean Theorem we have
[tex]1^{2} +x^{2} =y^{2}[/tex] .... equ 1
solving, where x = 4, we have
[tex]1^{2} +4^{2} =y^{2}[/tex]
[tex]y^{2} = 17[/tex]
[tex]y = \sqrt{17}[/tex]
Differentiating equ 1 implicitly with respect to t, we have
[tex]2x\frac{dx}{dt} = 2y\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex]
substituting values of
x = 4
y = [tex]\sqrt{17}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex] = -1
into the equation, we get
[tex]2(4)\frac{dx}{dt} = 2(\sqrt{17} )(-1)[/tex]
[tex]\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{-\sqrt{17} }{4}[/tex] = -1.031 m/s
