Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of trucks that will be going over the speed limit on I-77 South between Dobson and Elkin.

The probability of X is, p = 0.75.

A random sample of n = 5 trucks are observed on this stretch of I-77.

The random variable X follows a binomial distribution with parameters n = 5 and p = 0.75.

(a)

Compute the mean as follows:

[tex]\mu=n\times p=5\times 0.75=3.75[/tex]

The mean of this probability distribution is 3.75.

(b)

The mean of 3.75 implies that on average 3.75 trucks that will be going over the speed limit on I-77 South between Dobson and Elkin.

(c)

Compute the standard deviation as follows:

[tex]\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{5\times 0.75\times (1-0.75)}=0.968[/tex]

Thus, the standard deviation of this probability distribution is 0.97.

(d)

Compute the probability that exactly 3 of the observed trucks are speeding as follows:

[tex]P(X=3)={5\choose 3}(0.75)^{3}(1-0.75)^{5-3}\\\\=10\times 0.421875\times 0.0625\\\\=0.263671875\\\\\approx 0.2637[/tex]

Thus, the probability that exactly 3 of the observed trucks are speeding is 0.2637.

(e)

Compute the probability that less than 3 of the observed trucks are speeding as follows:

[tex]P(X<3)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)\\\\=\sum\limits^{2}_{x=0}{{5\choose x}(0.75)^{x}(1-0.75)^{5-x}}\\\\=0.0009765625+0.0146484375+0.087890625\\\\=0.103515625\\\\\approx 0.1035[/tex]

Thus, the probability that less than 3 of the observed trucks are speeding is 0.1035.

Answers

Answer:

Rachel earn $85 in 10 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rachel earned $34 in 4 hours at her job today. It means we can find his earning in 1 hour.

1 hour = $(34/4)

= $8.5

He earns $8.5 in an hour.

To find his earning in 10 hours, multiply $8.5 by 10. So,

Earning =  $8.5 × 10

= $85

Hence, Rachel earn $85 in 10 hours.

Answers

Given:

The power generated by an electrical circuit (in watts) as a function of its current x (in amperes) is modeled by

[tex]P(x)=-15x(x-8)[/tex]

To find:

The current which will produce the maximum power.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]P(x)=-15x(x-8)[/tex]

[tex]P(x)=-15x^2+120x[/tex]

Differentiate with respect to x.

[tex]P'(x)=-15(2x)+120(1)[/tex]

[tex]P'(x)=-30x+120[/tex]      ...(i)

To find the extreme point equate P'(x)=0.

[tex]-30x+120=0[/tex]

[tex]-30x=-120[/tex]

Divide both sides by -30.

[tex]x=4[/tex]

Differentiate (i) with respect to x.

[tex]P'(x)=-30(1)+(0)[/tex]

[tex]P'(x)=-30<0[/tex] (Maximum)

It means, the given function is maximum at x=4.

Therefore, the current of 4 amperes will produce the maximum power.

3/4 change 3/4 to a decimal show work

Answers

Answer:

0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

You just need to convert 3/4 into a decimal.

For example: If you get 3 out of 4 problems right on a quiz, in percent form it will be a 75%, in decimal form 0.75 because you'll move the percent sign 2 spaces to the left. That will then be a decimal if you're converting 75% to 0.75.

3 divided by 4 is also going to give you 0.75. Because, a "fraction slash" is the dividing point. So,

3/4 = 0.75

Which of the following is both a perfect square and a perfect cube?
64
16
81
1,000

I know the answer is 64, but how? Can someone please explain me to me how to work this out?

Answers

Well the square root of 64 is 8, and the cube root of 64 is 4. They’re perfect whole numbers. We know 4 x 4 = 16 is a square from the fact above, and also because of what a square means. But we can go one step further. 4 x 16 = 64 is the product of two squares, so it is also a square. But you can also write it as 64 = 4 x 4 x 4, making it a cube.

In 1999, Marks & Spencer, a British department store, created the biggest sandwich ever made. The tuna and cucumber sandwich was in the form of a triangular prism. Suppose each slice of bread was 8 inches thick. Find each measure to the nearest tenth. a. The surface area in square feet of the sandwich when filled b. The volume of filling in cubic feet to the nearest tenth

Answers

Answer:

A) 19.2 ft^2

B) 28.9 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Thickness = 8 inches

Assuming the triangular prism is made up of an equilateral triangle hence all sides are equal

lets assume the side = 10 inches  

lets assume the thickness as the height of the prism = 8 inches

Assume length of the rectangle(l) = 5 feet

A) The surface area of the sandwich triangular prism

total surface area = bh + 2ls + lb

                             = 10*8 + 2(5*10) + ( 5 * 10 )

                             = 80 + 100 + 50 = 230 inches = 19.2 ft^2

B ) The volume of filing in cubic feet to the nearest tenth

V = [tex]\frac{1}{4} h \sqrt{-a^4 +2(ab)^2+2(ac)^2-b^4+2(bc)^2-c^4}[/tex]  ------- 1

where : a = b = c = 10 inches

h = 8 inches

input the given values into the equation 1 above

V= 346.41 inches ^3  =  28.9 ft^3

Suppose there is a 1.7f drop in temperature for every thousand feet that an airplane climbs into the sky. If the temperature on the ground is 49.9f what will be the temperature when the plane reaches am altitude of 4,000ft?? The temperature will be_____F (type an integer or a decimal)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]43.1 ^{\circ}F[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Give that for every 1000 feet increase in the height there is a drop of [tex]1.7 ^{\circ}F[/tex] in temperature.

So, the rate of temperature drop with respect to height, R = 1.7/1000 [tex]^{\circ}F/\text{ft}[/tex].

If the change in height is [tex]\Deltah[/tex][tex]\Delta h[/tex] feet, the temperature drop,

[tex]\Delta T= \Delta h R \;^{\circ}F\cdots(i)[/tex]

The temperature on the ground is 49.9 [tex]^{\circ}F[/tex].

At the ground, the height is 0, so the change in height, \Delta h when the plane reaches an altitude of 4,000 feet, is

\Delta h =4000-0=4000 feet

Now, from equation (i), the temperature drop

[tex]\Delta T= 4000 \times \frac {1.7}{1000}=6.8\;^{\circ}F.[/tex]

Hence, the temperature at an altitude of 4000 feet [tex]= 49.9-6.8=43.1 \;^{\circ}F[/tex].

What is slope?

In mathematics, the slope or gradient of a line is a number that describes both the direction and the steepness of the line. The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness. Mathematically, slope is calculated as "rise over run" (change in y divided by change in x).

here, we have,

If a line passes through two points, then the slope of the line is

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

From the given graph it is clear that coordinates of points on line KL are K(-8,2) and L(6,2).

The slope of line KL is

m = 0

The slope of line KL is 0, it means it is a horizontal line.

From the given graph it is clear that coordinates of points on line MN are M(-4,8) and N(-4,-6).

The slope of line MN is

m = 1/0

The slope of line MN is 1/0 or undefined, it means it is a vertical line.

We know that vertical and horizontal lines are perpendicular to each other.

Therefore the lines KL and MN perpendicular to each other.

about 23 inches. The carpenter cuts the circle into two semicircles. What is
the area of one semicircle to the nearest hundredth? Use 3.14 for

Answers

Answer:

830.53 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of one semicircle, find the area of the full circle and divide it by 2:

Use the circle area formula, A = [tex]\pi[/tex]

Plug in 3.14 as pi, and plug in the radius:

A = [tex]\pi[/tex]r²

A = 3.14(23²)

A = 1661.06

Divide this by 2:

1661.06 / 2

= 830.53

So, the area of one semicircle is 830.53 in²

D. Go to the game show and collect data for a month on which doors people chose.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

B. Rolling a die; 1 or 2 represents door A, 3 or 4 represents door B, and 5 or 6 represents door C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that an onloaded die has equal chances of getting either 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6, the chances of getting a particular score is therefore 1/6

and the probability of getting a 1 or 2 = 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6 = 1/3

Therefore, given that the probability, P[tex]_{door}[/tex] of opening door A, or door B, or door C is the probability of selecting 1 out of 3 given as follows;

P[tex]_{door}[/tex](door A) = 1/3

P[tex]_{door}[/tex](door B) = 1/3

P[tex]_{door}[/tex](door C) = 1/3

Therefore, given that the probability of selecting either door A or door B or door C is equivalent to the probability of getting a 1 or 2, or a 3 or 4, or a 5 or 6 on a die.
