Answers

Answer:

0.07

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of sophmores is 2+25+3 = 30.

Of these sophmores, 2 drive to school.

So the probability that a student drives to school, given that they are a sophmore, is 2/30, or approximately 0.07.

Answer:

[tex]\large \boxed{0.07}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The usual question is, "What is the probability of A, given B?"

They are asking, "What is the probability that you are driving to school if you are a sophomore (rather than taking the bus or walking)?"

We must first complete your frequency table by calculating the totals for each row and column.

The table shows that there are 30 students, two of whom drive to school.

[tex]P = \dfrac{2}{30}= \mathbf{0.07}\\\\\text{The conditional probability is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{0.07}}$}[/tex]

Would this be correct even though I didn’t use the chain rule to solve?

Answers

Answer:

Dy/Dx=1/√ (2x+3)

Yeah it's correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying differential by chain differentiation method.

The differential of y = √(2x+3) with respect to x

y = √(2x+3)

Let y = √u

Y = u^½

U = 2x +3

The formula for chain differentiation is

Dy/Dx = Dy/Du *Du/Dx

So

Dy/Dx = Dy/Du *Du/Dx

Dy/Du= 1/2u^-½

Du/Dx = 2

Dy/Dx =( 1/2u^-½)2

Dy/Dx= u^-½

Dy/Dx=1/√ u

But u = 2x+3

Dy/Dx=1/√ (2x+3)

Hi, can someone help me on this. I'm stuck --

Answers

Answer:

a) Fx=-5N  Fy=-5*sqrt(3) N   b) Fx= 5*sqrt(3) N    Fy=-5N

c) Fx=-5*sqrt(2) N    Fy=-5*sqrt(2)   N

Step-by-step explanation:

The arrow's F ( weight) component on axle x  is Fx= F*sinA  and on axle y is

Fy=F*cosA

a) The x component and y component both are opposite directed to axle x and axle y accordingly.  So both components are negative.

So Fx = - 10*sin(30)= -5 N      Fy= -10*cos(30)= -10*sqrt(3)/2= -5*sqrt (3) N

b) Now the x component  is co directed to axle x , and y component is opposite directed to axle y.

So x component is positive and y components is negative

So Fx = 10*sin(60)= 5*sqrt(3) N       Fy= -10*cos(60)= -10*1/2= -5 N

c)The x component and y component both are opposite directed to axle x and axle y accordingly.  So both components are negative.

So Fx = - 10*sin(45)= -5*sqrt(2)  N    

 Fy= -10*cos(45)= -10*sqrt(2)/2= -5*sqrt (2) N

Q = 20/48

R = 54/90

S = 44/83

This is because we are calculating the percent of yellow birds in the total amt. of birds in a specified park.

Now we calculate =>

P = 33/53 = around 0.62

Q = 20/48 = around 0.416

For the binomial distribution with the given values for n and p, state whether or not it is suitable to use the normal distribution as an approximation. n = 24 and p = 0.6.

Answers

Answer:

Since both np > 5 and np(1-p)>5, it is  suitable to use the normal distribution as an approximation.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the normal approximation is suitable?

If np > 5 and np(1-p)>5

In this question:

[tex]n = 24, p = 0.6[/tex]

So

[tex]np = 24*0.6 = 14.4[/tex]

And

[tex]np(1-p) = 24*0.6*0.4 = 5.76[/tex]

Since both np > 5 and np(1-p)>5, it is  suitable to use the normal distribution as an approximation.

Christopher collected data from a random sample of 800 voters in his state asking whether or not they would vote to reelect the current governor. Based on the results, he reports that 54% of the voters in his city would vote to reelect the current governor. Why is this statistic misleading?

Answers

Answer:

The statistic is misleading because Christopher collects his sample from a population (voters in his state) and make inferences about another population (voters in his city).

Step-by-step explanation:

The statistic is misleading because Christopher collects his sample from a population (voters in his state) and make inferences about another population (voters in his city).

He should make inferences about the population that is well represented by his sample (voters in his state), or take a sample only from voters from his city to make inferences about them.

At 95% confidence, how large a sample should be taken to obtain a margin of error of 0.05 for the estimation of a population proportion

Answers

Answer:

A sample of 385 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

95% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].

How large a sample:

We need a sample of n.

n is found when M = 0.05.

We dont know the true proportion, so we work with the worst case scenario, which is [tex]\pi = 0.5[/tex]

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.05 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.05\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.5[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*0.5}{0.05}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{1.96*0.5}{0.05})^{2}[/tex]

[tex]n = 384.16[/tex]

In the DBE 122 class, there are 350 possible points. These points come from 5 homework sets that are worth 10 points each and 3 exams that are worth 100 points each. A student has received homework scores of 7, 8, 7, 5, and 8 and the first two exam scores are 81 and 80. Assuming that grades are assigned according to the standard scale, where if the grade percentage is 0.9 or higher the student will get an A, and if the grade percentage is between 0.8 and 0.9 the student will get a B, and there are no weights assigned to any of the grades, is it possible for the student to receive an A in the class? What is the minimum score on the third exam that will give an A? What about a B?

Answers

Answer:

a) The student cannot receive an A in the class.

b) The student must score 119 in the third exams to make an A.  This is clearly not possible, since he cannot make 119 in a 100-points exam.

c) The student can make a B but he must score at least 84 in the third exam.

Step-by-step explanation:

To make an A, the student must score 315 (350 x 90%) in both home and the three exams.

The student who scored 35 (7 + 8 + 7 + 5 + 8) in the homework and 161 (81 + 80), getting a total of 196, is short by 119 (315 - 196) scores in making an A.

To make a B, the student must score 280 (350 x 80%) or higher but not reaching 315.

B ≥ 280 and < 315.

Since, the student had scored 196, he needs to score 84 and above to make a B in the last exam.

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine whether each of these functions is [tex]O(x^2)[/tex], we apply these theorems:

A polynomial is always O(the term containing the highest power of n)Any O(x) function is always [tex]O(x^2)[/tex].

(a)Given the function: f(x)=100x+1000

The highest power of n is 1.

Therefore f(x) is O(x).

Since any O(x) function is always [tex]O(x^2)[/tex], 100x+1000 is [tex]O(x^2)[/tex].

[tex](b) f(x)=100x^ 2 + 1000[/tex]

The highest power of n is 2.

Therefore the function is [tex]O(x^2)[/tex].

By what percent will the fraction increase if its numerator is increased by 60% and denominator is decreased by 20% ?

Answers

Answer:

100%

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with x.

x = x/1

Increase the numerator by 60% to 1.6x.

Decrease the numerator by 20% to 0.8.

The new fraction is

1.6x/0.8

Do the division.

1.6x/0.8 = 2x

The fraction increased from x to 2x. It became double of what it was. From x to 2x, the increase is x. Since x was the original number x is 100%.

The increase is 100%.

Answer:

33%

Step-by-step explanation:

let fraction be x/y

numerator increased by 60%

=x+60%ofx

=8x

denominator increased by 20%

=y+20%of y

so the increased fraction is 4x/3y

let the fraction is increased by a%

then

x/y +a%of (x/y)=4x/3y

or, a%of(x/y)=x/3y

[tex]a\% = \frac{x}{3y} \times \frac{y}{x} [/tex]

therefore a=33

anda%=33%
