Answer:
The probability that at least 13 flights arrive late is 2.5196 [tex]\times 10^{-6}[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that Southwest Air had the best rate with 80 % of its flights arriving on time.
A test is conducted by randomly selecting 18 Southwest flights and observing whether they arrive on time.
The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;
[tex]P(X = x) = \binom{n}{r}\times p^{r} \times (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,.........[/tex]
where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 18 Southwest flights
r = number of success = at least 13 flights arrive late
p = probability of success which in our question is probability that
flights arrive late, i.e. p = 1 - 0.80 = 20%
Let X = Number of flights that arrive late.
So, X ~ Binom(n = 18, p = 0.20)
Now, the probability that at least 13 flights arrive late is given by = P(X [tex]\geq[/tex] 13)
P(X [tex]\geq[/tex] 13) = P(X = 13) + P(X = 14) + P(X = 15) + P(X = 16) + P(X = 17) + P(X = 18)
= [tex]\binom{18}{13}\times 0.20^{13} \times (1-0.20)^{18-13}+ \binom{18}{14}\times 0.20^{14} \times (1-0.20)^{18-14}+ \binom{18}{15}\times 0.20^{15} \times (1-0.20)^{18-15}+ \binom{18}{16}\times 0.20^{16} \times (1-0.20)^{18-16}+ \binom{18}{17}\times 0.20^{17} \times (1-0.20)^{18-17}+ \binom{18}{18}\times 0.20^{18} \times (1-0.20)^{18-18}[/tex]
= [tex]\binom{18}{13}\times 0.20^{13} \times 0.80^{5}+ \binom{18}{14}\times 0.20^{14} \times 0.80^{4}+ \binom{18}{15}\times 0.20^{15} \times 0.80^{3}+ \binom{18}{16}\times 0.20^{16} \times 0.80^{2}+ \binom{18}{17}\times 0.20^{17} \times 0.80^{1}+ \binom{18}{18}\times 0.20^{18} \times 0.80^{0}[/tex]
= 2.5196 [tex]\times 10^{-6}[/tex].

That can be factored as
(x -1 (1/3) ) * ( x +3) * (x -4/5)
and the zeroes are located at:
x = 1.33333333... x = -3 and x = .8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
[tex]\boxed{\sf \ \ \ f(x)=(x+3)(5x-4)(3x-4) \ \ \ }[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to factorise the following function
[tex]f(x)=15 x^3+13 x^2-80 x+48[/tex]
-3 is a trivial solution, we can notice that f(-3)=0
so we can factorise by (x+3)
let s note a, b and c real and let s write
[tex]f(x)=15 x^3+13 x^2-80 x+48=(x+3)(ax^2+bx+c)[/tex]
[tex](x+3)(ax^2+bx+c) = ax^3+bx^2+cx+3ax^2+3bx+3c=ax^3+(b+3a)x^2+(3b+c)x+3c[/tex]
let s identify...
the terms in [tex]x^3[/tex]
15 = a
the terms in [tex]x^2[/tex]
13 = b + 3a
the terms in x
-80 = 3b+c
the constant terms
48 = 3c
so it comes, c=48/3=16, a = 15, b = 13-3*15=13-45=-32
so [tex]f(x)=(x+3)(15x^2-32x+16)[/tex]
[tex]\Delta=32^2-4*15*16=64[/tex]
so the roots of [tex](15x^2-32x+16)[/tex] are
[tex]\dfrac{32-8}{15*2}=\dfrac{24}{30}=\dfrac{12}{15}=\dfrac{4}{5}[/tex]
and
[tex]\dfrac{32+8}{15*2}=\dfrac{40}{30}=\dfrac{20}{15}=\dfrac{4}{3}[/tex]
so [tex]f(x)=(x+3)(5x-4)(3x-4)[/tex]
the zeros are -3, 4/5, 4/3
Suppose that it costs $200 per day to search for chanterelle mushrooms at Pt. Reyes National Seashore. On an average day, the total weight of mushrooms M found at Pt. Reyes is M = 100x-x^2 pounds ,where x is the number of people mushroom hunting on that day. Chanterelles can be sold for $60 per pound. How many more people will go mushroom hunting than is socially optimal?
Answer:
For an overall profit, we need at least 97 people to go mushroom hunting.
Any number of people that is more than the socially optimal number should go mushroom hunting on any given day.
Step-by-step explanation:
The socially optimal number of people that will go mushroom hunting is the number where amount spent to go mushroom hunting equally balances the amount obtained by selling the mushrooms obtained.
If x people go mushroom hunting in a day, the total cost of hunting for that day = 200x
The amount of mushroom obtained is given as
M = (100x - x²) in pounds
The selling price of 1 pound = $60
The cost of M pounds = 60M = 60(100x - x²)
= (6000x - 60x²)
At socially optimal number,
200x = 6000x - 60x²
60x² - 6000x + 200x = 0
60x² - 5800x = 0
x(60x - 5800)
x = 0 or (60x - 5800) = 0
x = 0 or x = (5800/60) = 96.67
Socially optimal number of people = 0 or 96.67
For realistic purposes, we take the socially optimal number of people that went mushroom hunting as 96.67
Any number above this number will result in an overall profit, and any number below it results in an overall loss.
So, for an overall profit, we need at least 97 people to go mushroom hunting.
Hope this Helps!!
Answer:
48 people
Step-by-step explanation:
When allocating resources to a particular task it is important to assign optimal units of resources.
In this scenario if the people hunting mushrooms are too many they will not make profit. But an optimal number will guarantee everyone makes positive profit.
Optimal = (M÷x)Px - 200= 0
Optimal= {(100x -x^2) ÷ x} * 60 = 200
Optimal = 6000 - 60x = 200
x= 96.666~ 97 people
However to maximise profit MTB = MTC
Socially Optimal quantity = 60(100x - x^2) -200
∂(Socially Optimal amount) ÷ ∂ x= 6000 - 120x - 200
x = 48.33~ 48 people
So 48 more people go mushroom hunting than is socially optimal

A game is played using one die. If the die is rolled and shows 1, the player wins $5. If the die shows any number other than 1, the player wins nothing. If there is a $1 charge to play the game, what is the game’s expected value?
Answer:
1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
i had a similar question
For each roll you start with paying 2 dollars and you only with 10 dollars one out of 6 rolls (on average).
So the cost for one play is 2 dollars and your win is 10/6.
Value is -2+10/6=-1/3 dollars
So you lose 1/3 dollars on average with each game
since you have no limited rolls u put 1/5

Answer:
yes, they are parallel; the general form equation differs only in the constant.
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract y from the first equation and multiply by 2.
y -y = 1/2x -y +3
0 = x -2y +6
x -2y +6 = 0 . . . . . put in general form
Compared to the second equation, we see the only difference is in the constant, +6 vs. -8.
This means the lines are parallel.
V. Money Magazine reported that the average price of gasoline in the United States during the first quarter of 2008 was $3.46. Assume that the price reported by Money is the population mean, and the standard deviation σ is $0.15. a. What is the probability that the mean price for a sample of 30 gas stations is within $0.03 of the population mean?
Answer:
[tex] z=\frac{3.43 -3.46}{\frac{0.15}{\sqrt{30}}} = -1.095[/tex]
[tex] z=\frac{3.49 -3.46}{\frac{0.15}{\sqrt{30}}} = 1.095[/tex]
And we can find this probability using the normal standard table and we got:
[tex] P(-1.095<z<1.095) = P(z<1.095) -P(z<-1.095) =0.863 -0.137= 0.726[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X the random variable that represent the price of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
[tex]X \sim N(3.46,0.15)[/tex]
Where [tex]\mu=3.46[/tex] and [tex]\sigma=0.15[/tex]
And for this case we want to find the following probability:
[tex] P(3.43 \leq \bar X \leq 3.49)[/tex]
And we can use the z score formula given by:
[tex] z=\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
If we find the z score for the limits we got:
[tex] z=\frac{3.43 -3.46}{\frac{0.15}{\sqrt{30}}} = -1.095[/tex]
[tex] z=\frac{3.49 -3.46}{\frac{0.15}{\sqrt{30}}} = 1.095[/tex]
And we can find this probability using the normal standard table and we got:
[tex] P(-1.095<z<1.095) = P(z<1.095) -P(z<-1.095) =0.863 -0.137= 0.726[/tex]

Find the equation for the plane through the points Upper P0 (-2 ,2 ,-5),Q0 (1,2,-1), and Upper R0 (-1,-5,4 ).
The equation of plane is:________
Answer:
28x - 23y - 21z = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to find two vectors in the plane as:
vector PQ = Q - P = (1, 2, -1) - (-2, 2, -5) = (3, 0, 4)
vector PR = R - P = (-1, -5, 4) - (-2 ,2 ,-5) = (1, -7, 9)
Then, we need to find a normal vector to the plane as:
PQ x RQ = ((0*9)-(4*-7), -(3*(9)-(4*1), (3*-7)-(0*1))
PQ x RQ = (28, -23, -21)
Finally, the equation of a plane is:
A(x-x0) + B(y-y0) + C(z-z0) = 0
Where (A,B,C) is a normal vector to the plane and (x0, y0, z0) is a point in the plane. So, replacing (A,B,C) by (28, -23, -21) and (x0, y0, z0) by P0(-2,2,-5), we can write the equation of the plane as:
28(x+2) - 23(y-2) - 21(z+5) = 0
Solving, we get:
28x + 56 - 23y + 46 - 21z - 105 = 0
28x - 23y - 21z - 3 = 0
28x - 23y - 21z = 3
Two negative integers are 8 units apart on the number line and have a product of 308. Which equation could be used to determine x, the smaller negative integer? A: x^2 + 8x – 308 = 0 B: x^2 – 8x + 308 = 0 C: x^2 + 8x + 308 = 0 D: x^2 − 8x − 308 = 0
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
The smaller negative integer is x.
The larger one is x+8, since they are 8 units apart.
The equation would be:
x*(x+8)=308
Let's simplify it by distributing.
x^2+8x=308
Subtract 308 from both sides.
x^2+8x-308=0
Therefore, the answer would be A.
A cylindrical tank has a radius of 2 m and a height of 9 m. The tank is filled with water. Find the work needed to pump the top 3 m of water out the top of the tank. (Use 9.8 m/s2 for g and the fact that the density of water is 1000 kg/m3.)
Answer:
3,325,140 Joules
Step-by-step explanation:
Work done by the pump = Force applied to pump * distance covered by the water.
Since Force = mass * acceleration due to gravity
Force = (density of water * volume of the tank) * acceleration due to gravity
F =ρVg
Workdone = (ρVg )* d
Given ρ = 1000kg/m³, g = 9.8m/s², d = 3m
[tex]V = \pi r^{2}h\\V = \pi (2)^{2} *9\\V = 36 \pi \\V =113.10m^{3}[/tex]
Workdone by the pump = 1000 * 113.10 * 9.8 * 3
Workdone by the pump = 3,325,140Joules

After 2 hours, there are 1,400 mL of fluids remaining in a patient’s IV. The fluids drip at a rate of 300 mL per hour. Let x be the time passed, in hours, and y be the amount of fluid left in the IV, in mL. Write a linear function that models this scenario.
Answer:
[tex] y(2) = 1400[/tex]
Using this condition we got:
[tex]1400= -300*2 +b[/tex]
And solving for b we got:
[tex] b= 1400+ 600= 2000[/tex]
So then our linear function is given by:
[tex] y = -300x +2000[/tex]
Where y is the amount of fluid left and x the number of hours ellapsing
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to set up a linear function like this one:
[tex]y = mx+b[/tex]
Where y is the amount of fluid left, m the slope and b the initial amount. From the info given we know thatm = -300. And we also have the following condition:
[tex] y(2) = 1400[/tex]
Using this condition we got:
[tex]1400= -300*2 +b[/tex]
And solving for b we got:
[tex] b= 1400+ 600= 2000[/tex]
So then our linear function is given by:
[tex] y = -300x +2000[/tex]
Where y is the amount of fluid left and x the number of hours ellapsing
To examine the effect of high-dose green tea extract on weight loss, researchers conducted a randomized, double-blind trial on a random sample of 115 women with obesity from Taiwan. Some of these women were randomly assigned to the main treatment group taking a high-dose green tea extract ("EGCG") daily for 12 weeks. The published abstract of this 2015 study reports that, "Significant weight loss, from 76.8 ± 11.3 kg to 75.7 ± 11.5 kg (p = 0.025), was observed in the treatment group after 12 weeks of high-dose EGCG treatment."
Which of the following inference procedures would be used to reach the quoted conclusion?
a. Z procedure for a proportion
b. Chi-square for two-way tables
c. Chi-square for goodness of fit
d. Two sample t procedure for two means
e. One sample or matched-pairs t procedure for a mean
f. ANOVA for several means
Answer:
d. Two sample t procedure for two means.
Step-by-step explanation:
The study have a treatment group, which is the group of women that are taking the high dose of green tea extract, and a control group, in order to compare. They are assigned randomly to each group.
Then, the difference fo the two sample means is calculated and a t-test is performed in order to conclude if the two populations means are significantly different.
Apparently they are significantly different, as this is the conclusion with a P-value of 0.025.

Robin read somewhere that adding salt to water while heating it will raise the temperature of
the water causing it to boil faster. To test this claim, she filled 30 identical pots with one quart
of water. She randomly selected 15 of the pots and added 1 teaspoon of salt. She then placed
each pot on identical burners set to the highest setting. She measured the water temperature
In each pot after 5 minutes.
Is Robin's research method an example of an observational study experiment, or
simulation?
b
If Robin does find that there is a difference between the water temperatures in the pots
with salt compared to those without can she conclude that the salt caused the
difference in temperature?
Answer:
a. An experiment
b. No
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Robin's research method can be concluded to be an experiment because she has a testable group (pots of water with salt) and a control group (pots of water without salt).
2. Based on this alone, she cannot conclude that the salt caused the
difference in temperature because she has not set some appropriate conditions which are to be met for this test.

A cognitive psychologist would like to evaluate the claim that the omega-3 fatty acids can help improve memory in normal adult humans. One group of participants is given a large dose of fish extract containing the Omega-3 (500 mg), and a second group is given a placebo containing no Omega-3 (0 mg). The researcher asks each participant to read the front page of a local newspaper thoroughly every morning and to take their prescribed dosage (of either Omega-3 or placebo) immediately afterwards. The researcher gives each participant a memory test at the end of two weeks and records how many news items each participant remembers from the past three weeks of news. Answer the following:
A) What names would you give the independent and dependent variables;
B) Is the dependent variable discrete or continuous?
C) What scale of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval or ratio; and continuous or discrete) is used to measure the independent variable?
D) What research method is being used (experimental or observational)? Explain why you conclude that the research method is one or the other.
Answer:
(a)
Independent Variable- Dosage of Omega-3 Fatty AcidsDependent Variable - Number of news item remembered(b)Discrete
(c)Ratio Scale and Discrete Variable
(d) Experimental Method
Step-by-step explanation:
The psychologist wants to evaluate the claim that omega-3 fatty acids can help improve memory in normal adult humans.
(a)In the study, the participants in the two groups were given fish extracts containing Omega-3 (500 mg) and no Omega-3 (0 mg).
The memory test involves measuring the number of items each participant remembers from the past three weeks of news.
Therefore:
Independent Variable- Dosage of Omega-3Dependent Variable - Number of news item remembered(b) The dependent variable is discrete since the number of news items remembered can only be whole numbers.
(c)The independent variable is in milligrams of Omega-3 where the placebo is 0 mg. This is a ratio scale since it has an absolute zero.
Since the dosage is given in multiples of 50mg, it is a discrete variable.
(d)Since the psychologist seeks to manipulate the conditions of the study by introducing Omega-3 to some of the participants and placebo to other participants, it is an experimental distribution.

a student in greece discovers a pottery bowl that contains 29% of its original amount of C-14
Answer:
The age of the pottery bowl is 12,378.7 years
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of C-14 after t yeas is given by the following equation:
[tex]N(t) = N(0)e^{-kt}[/tex]
In which N(0) is the initial amount and k is the decay rate.
In this question, we have that:
[tex]k = 0.0001[/tex]
So
[tex]N(t) = N(0)e^{-0.0001t}[/tex]
Age of the pottery bowl:
29% of its original amount of C-14. So we have to find t for which N(t) = 0.29N(0). So
[tex]N(t) = N(0)e^{-0.0001t}[/tex]
[tex]0.29N(0) = N(0)e^{-0.0001t}[/tex]
[tex]e^{-0.0001t} = 0.29[/tex]
[tex]\ln{e^{-0.0001t}} = \ln{0.29}[/tex]
[tex]-0.0001t = \ln{0.29}[/tex]
[tex]t = -\frac{\ln{0.29}}{0.0001}[/tex]
[tex]t = 12378.7[/tex]
The age of the pottery bowl is 12,378.7 years
True or False - the following scenario depicts an independent relationship between variables (tree growth and air quality): 20% of trees growing in a particular region are not growing to their expected height. In a particular neighborhood in that region, the Air Quality Index is labeled as "Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups" or worse 30% of the time. 10% of the trees in the region grow in this neighborhood. If you randomly measured the growth of a tree in that neighborhood, then the probability that that tree is not growing to its expected height is 33.33%.
multiply (5 4/7) times (- 2 2/5)
Answer: -13.37
Explanation: I did it in decimals because I didn’t know if your assignment required fraction or decimal. 5 4/7= 5x7=35+4=39/7 so this means 5 4/7 is equal to 39/7. -2 2/5= -2x5=-10+2=-8/5. So it comes out to 39/7x-8/5.
the population of a country increased by 3%, 2.6%, and 1.8% in three successive years. what was the total percentage increase in the country's population over the three year period?
please tell me how u did it
Answer:
The total percentage increase in the country's population over the three year period is 7.6%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the original population of a country.
It is provided that the population increased by 3%, 2.6%, and 1.8% in three successive years.
Compute the population of the country after three years as follows:
[tex]\text{New Population}=\text{Origibal Population}\times I_{1}\%\times I_{2}\%\times I_{3}\%[/tex]
[tex]=x\times [1+\frac{3}{100}]\times [1+\frac{2.6}{100}]\times [1+\frac{1.8}{100}]\\\\=x\times 1.03\times 1.026\times 1.018\\\\=1.07580204\cdot x\\\\\approx 1.076\cdot x[/tex]
The new population after three years is 1.076 x.
Compute the total percentage increase in the country's population over the three year period as follows:
[tex]\text{Total Increase}\%=\frac{\text{New Population}\ -\ \text{Original Population}}{\text{Original Population}}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{1.076x-x}{x}\times 100\\\\=0.076\times 100\\\\=7.6\%[/tex]
Thus, the total percentage increase in the country's population over the three year period is 7.6%.
